Camila pov
It's been a two weeks since I forgave Lauren. Well I guess I can't say i've fully forgiven her yet, but it's a work in progress. In those weeks my friendship with Dinah was getting better, Lauren actually told me to reach out more. Maybe starting something with Lauren was for the best.
Today Lauren has some big day planned for us. I have no idea what she has planned. She should be arriving any minute now.
About 5 minutes later there was a knock at my bedroom door, My mother came in and told me a young lady was here for me. I jumped off my bed and made my way to her. I turned around the corner and spotted the green eyed girl standing there talking to my little sister Sofi.
"I see you met Sofi." I spoke after watching the two interact. Lauren tore her attention from my little sister walking towards me. "You look good Camz." She went to place a kiss on my cheek, me wanting more turned my head so our lips connected. I felt her smile into the kiss, "Camila, not in front of your sister or in my house at all." My father's voice startled us. "Sorry dad."
My father isn't very accepting of me being into girls, He's even more unaccepting of Lauren being back in my life. After that night I continued to drink and started using. Five months ago I thought my parents weren't going to be home, so I had some people over. Well they walked in on me doing a line, and weren't happy. They made me tell them when I started using. That was the same night they found out I was gay. The look on their faces was priceless, I thought my dad was having a heart attack. My mom likes to pretend like she always knew, but I know she didn't. For most my life she was trying to set me up with her friends kid Austin, If it wasn't for him getting hit by a bus she would still be trying.
"I don't want my daughter seeing that. Okay?" My father barely looked at me when he spoke. "Yes, sir." Anyone that was in the room could feel the tension between us. Lauren clapped her hands together. "Well, If Camila won't introduce me I will myself. I'm Lauren." She held her hand out for my father to shake it, but he didn't. "Dad.." The man that raised me gave me a stern look. "I know who she is, I want nothing to do with her. She needs to leave."
He didn't have to ask twice, Lauren was out the door before he could finish. I know I should have chased after her, but I stayed. "Look, I know you aren't happy with this.." He didn't let me continue talking. "It's your life, I can't control it, but I will not have her in my house that is all I ask." He gestured for me to leave.
I walked outside hoping she hadn't left yet. I spotted her car and began walking up to it. I didn't feel like getting hit in the face today, so I just climbed into the passenger side. "You good Laur?" I reached to grab her hand, but she denied me. Instead she just put the car in reverse and started driving.
We drove for an hour til we reached the beach. It was a secluded part not many people were around. We got out of the car. She grabbed a few items from the trunk. We started walking down the beach. After some time of walking we settled down on a spot, Lauren still hadn't spoken since my house.
"Lauren can you please say something." I asked softly. "This isn't going to work if we don't talk. You can talk to me about anything you know that." I tried to reassure her. I did what I tried to do in the car I reached for her hand again she pulled away.
"Camz I don't know if I can do this." She barely spoke a whisper. I could hear the sadness in her voice. "Hey if this is about what my father said. He just doesn't want me to get hurt.. Again." While I was speaking she picked up some sand. "Then maybe we shouldn't even start something." The first thing she says since leaving the house and it's the one thing I didn't want to hear. "Honestly Camila do you really think that I won't hurt you again?' She spoke so harshly to me I didn't know how to react. "If your family hates me, we won't work."
"Well instead of bitching about them hating you and proving them right by hurting me again, why don't you show them you won't. Show them your not the same." My owns words shocked me. By the look on her face they shocked her too. Her face softened up and a smile broke out on her face. "Tell me how can I show them?" Hearing she wanted to prove them wrong gave me butterflies in my stomach. "Let me think.. How about I talk them into having dinner with us and they can get to know you."
"Set it up." Lauren grabbed my hand and began playing with my finger before pulling me into her arms. "God I don't know what you're doing to me Cabello." Before I could say anything else she placed a rough kiss on my lips. I smiled into the kiss but pushed off of her. "This is big Lauren. We need to talk more about this." She let a whine out. " I don't wanna talk I wanna keep doing this." She kissed me again this time deepening the kiss.
We layed on the beach for hours. Making out and talking about what she should say to my parents and what not to say. I know I can convince my mom to have dinner with Lauren. My father on the other hand that would take more. As it became night we grabbed our things and made our way back to my house.
We arrived shortly. We walked to my door hand in hand. " I don't want to leave you. Can I sneak in?" She jokingly begged me. I couldn't control my laugh. " You know I really like your laugh Cabello." Hearing her call me by my last name gave me some sort of feels. Lauren leaned in and placed a kiss on my cheek then moved to my lips. " I should go now." Green eyes placed one last kiss on my lips before she turned to leave. "Lauren wait." I called out. She turned immediately. "Yeah Camz?" My face showed a huge smile hearing her say camz. "I forgot to say something earlier." She had a skeptical look on her face. "And what was that?" I decided to use her move and smirked. " Don't let me down."

Today was an interesting day for mine and Camilas relationship. I left her house two hours ago. She somehow managed to get her parents to have dinner with me tomorrow night. You could say I am nervous as hell. I've been going over the tips she gave me since I arrived home. I think I deserve a break. Walking out into the kitchen I heard Malia and Karma fighting yet again. "There is nothing going on between us! I swear." Malia screamed. "Karma fired back instantly. "Explain all the fucking booty calls and all the fucking sexts!" They yelled a few more things while I grabbed a glass of water. They both didn't know that I was now seeing Camila or Karla whatever they knew her by. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Malia say something about my girl. "She's not even that hot come on I have standards. Do you really think I would hook up with someone that looks like her?" Now trash talking Camila just won't go on in my home. I decided it was time to interrupt. "Listen here bitch that girl is hot as fuck. Way hotter than your ugly ass and lets be real here you've fucked her. She told me. Malia and Karma both looked as if they just shit themselves. "How the hell do know Karla?" Malia asked in a jealous tone. "Well, Malia that beautiful girl just so happens to be my.. well.. my eventual girlfriend." I didn't even give them time to react. I turned and returned to my "cave" and decided to text the girl on my mind.
