With You, I'm Everything But Colorless

Chapter 10

Few days later... (that's kinda cringy but c'mon, this chapter is interesting, they'll see each other again)

Lauren was walking once again. She felt calm and her hands dug deeper into the pocket of her jeans, it's visible even from afar.

The mild breeze that touches her skin solaced her as the scent of nature embraced her clothes. She's been walking for hours now. Has she ever told you how much she loves walking? She loves it even more considering that Los Angeles' weather was actually showing itself. She finally had a long walk after what feels like eons

The truth is when she came to deliver her art works, it wasn't appreciated enough. She was told that it didn't reached their expectations. So Lauren being Lauren, jailed herself in her house. Having nothing but her own money from selling things and just call some resto to deliver food. Those days were kinda hell but not at the same time. She keeps on asking herself and doubting that she was enough but she also spent time on expressing how she feels by writing songs. And once she found out that she's running out of money, she told herself to fuck it and just sell every arts and songs she wrote that time

Once she left her house after fifteen days, the first place she went on to was the coffee shop where she love the muffins. Ally talked to her if she's okay due to Lauren's weary face, she told her few of her problems and why she didn't go there like the usual every morning considering that Ally told her that maybe telling someone about something she's stressing about can help. Ever since that day, she keeps on talking to Ally, enjoying her company or even asking advices because she found her advices make sense. They became friends somehow in just four days.

With a clamorous walk along the pavement that were filled with dried leaves screaming as she take a step, Lauren felt a sense of deja vu when she saw some people encircled to an entertainer. The scene reminds her of how she first met Camila whom she never saw after going out five days ago, it's not that it's not normal but... y'know, she kinda miss her. She was like her first considered friend here in L.A.

Lauren was about to walk away when a familiar voice sang. Her eyes widen after hearing the unique voice.

'My life is brilliant'

It was seconded by a sound of acoustic guitar. Was that Camila?- she asked herself. She immediately pushed through few people to see and in just a few seconds... there she saw her. Standing along with her bruised guitar, deft hands trembling as the orange and brown trees behind her sway as if it's dancing along with her song. Lauren's heart was beating rapidly while watching Camila. The girl's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her eyes were closed, showing the audience how much she shows emotion to every words of her song

'My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan

The first verse ended with Camila still closing her eyes, hiding the beautiful orbs of it. Lauren was so mesmerized that she doesn't even want to close her eyes due to the desire of seeing Camila's beautiful face that sure made the song even better with how she shows emotion.

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

Lauren didn't pay attention to how the audience unintentionally hummed at the sadness of her lyrics. Some even grabbed their phone and started to record a video. The green-eyed Latina however stayed still. Eyes stuck to Camila's face. Ears to the brunette's beautiful voice.
