Camilas pov

I wake up and see Lauren's sleeping face, I smile and cuddle into her chest some more, she wraps her arms around me tighter in her sleep making me feel even more safe. I don't know why, actually I do know why, but I've always felt safe around her. After she helped me with the bullies that one time, I've felt extremely safe with her, especially when she's holding me or my hand.

After a while of just cuddling Lauren the door opens, I look to see Carla I smile and she smiles back. Her family are the nicest people I've ever met, at first I was scared of them because of my family but now I know they're just amazing people. Speaking of my family, i think I'm ready to tell them the truth.

"Morning camila, you feeling okay?" Carla asked, I nod sitting up making Lauren's hand fall in between my legs, I blush picking it up and moving it.

"Yes I'm feeling fine thank you, how about you?" I ask, she smiles nodding

"I'm fine thanks, do you want anything to eat?" She asked, I think then nod

"What would you like?" She asked, I think again

"Fruit?" I ask, she smiles and nods

"What kind?" She asked

"Banana?" I ask, she frowns confused

"That's it?" She asked, I nod

"I'm not a big eater" I say, she nods softly

"How about I make you a fruit salad" she said, I nod and she smiles

"Lauren" she said, she said it a few times until she wakes up groaning

"What?" She asked, i giggle and she looks at me then her mom

"What do you want for breakfast?" She asked, Lauren sighed

"Pancakes" she said, her mom nods

"I'll call you when it's done" she said, Lauren nods and her mom leaves

"Hey" she said, I look at her smiling

"Hi" I say, she wraps her arms around my waist and I smile and play with her hair

"Lo...can I talk to you seriously for a sec?" I ask, she looks at me nodding

"Well, it's about my mom and dad" I say, she sits up looking at me nodding

"Well...they're not like yours, they aren't every...nice..." I say, she just looks at me

"They-they um...they hurt me" I say, she frowns opening and closing her mouth

"I'm not done" I say, she nods softly

"They...they spend all their money on drugs and not just weed, they do heroin, coke, pills, you get the idea. They really hurt me, they beat me, burn me, cut me...dad he-" I get cut off my the door opening, i quickly whip my eyes.

"Leave!" Lauren said, Taylor entered she looks at me

"Leave...please" I say, she does and I look at Lauren

"I...I'm done" I say, she shook her head

"What does your dad do?" She asked, I take a shaky breath

"What do men do to women whey they don't give the men what they want?" I ask, she frowns confused

"Lauren...pass me some paper" I say, she does also a pen

"What's your mom again?" I ask

"A therapist" she said

"My dad is..." I write it down

"The rapist..." she mumbled, I look down at my hands

"Camz..." she said, I shake my head

"Please, don't say anything just change the subject, I told you what you wanted to know" she nods softly, her mom comes up and looks at me and Lauren.

"Taylor told me camila was crying" Carla said, I look at Lauren

"You tell herb I don't want to say it again" I say, she nods and tells her mom, I just sit there holding back the tears.

"Camila, I'm so sorry" her mom said, I nod softly

"She doesn't want to talk about it mom" Lauren said, her mom nods softly

"Food is ready" she said, Lauren and I get out of bed and go downstairs

Taylor looks at me with a soft smile and I return it, I look around confused.

"Where's Chris and Mike?" I ask, Carla giggles softly placing down our food

"Chris is at his friends house and mike is at work" she said, I nod lightly and eat the others bad pancakes as I had my fruit salad l, I actually really like it.

After a few hours I get a text, I see it's my dad and sigh

Dad
You can come home now

Camila
I'll be there soon

I sigh and look at Lauren

"I need to go home" i say, her and her mom both say no at the same time, that makes Taylor confuse.

"I have too, other-whys my dad will come looking for me and no body wants that, it's best if I do as he says, don't make this worse for me" I say, I get up and Lauren does too.

"Lo...please you really don't understand" I say, she sighed and I put a hand on her chest

"I'll see you tomorrow" I say, she softly nods and I kiss her cheek, I leave going home

It wasn't all that bad, I just got a few slaps and had to stay in my room for the rest of the day, I didn't mind staying in my room, I just slipped into my headspace.
