~Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all~

Camila's P.O.V.

It's been six weeks and I still can't get her off my mind. All I have are memories of her lips, skin, warmth, touch, taste and those smoldering green eyes that still very much held my heart. I remember it all like it was yesterday. I take in a deep breath to calm my heart rate and tried to focus on my free write assignment.

"Okay class, that's time. Turn in your papers on my desk; class dismissed."

I'm currently a junior at NYU and this is the second semester I've had with Professor Smith. I love writing and he had insisted I take his Advance Literature class; that I was far more superior in writing than any other student he has come across.

I continued to sit in my chair as all the other students made their way down the steps, dropping off their papers and headed out the door. I had a question on my last writing assignment so I decided to wait it out. I gathered my notebook and made my way down the steps towards Professor Smith's desk.

"Hey Professor, do you have a couple of minutes? I have a question on my last assignment."

"Hold that thought Camila, will you wait here for a few minutes? I have to run to my office to grab my phone. My fiancé is on her way and I can't remember if I told her to meet me here or my office. I'll be right back." He said exiting the classroom.

I leaned my back against his desk taking in the empty seats and the silence that surrounded me, closing my eyes, my mind wandering to HER, to Lauren. I don't even know her last name. What I wouldn't give to look into those beautiful green eyes, to hold her in my arms, to hear that raspy, husky voice one more time.

"Excuse me," my eyes quickly snapped open at the familiarity that entered my ears. "I must be in the wrong class room," I slowly turned around as she continued to speak. "I'm looking foorrr-"

Is this REAL? Is she really HERE? I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. I see her begin to open her mouth, but before she could speak any more words I quickly closed the few feet between us dropping my notebook and pulled her in for a kiss, crashing our lips together. I've missed these lips, HER lips for what felt like an eternity. I slowly pulled away, taking a step back as I looked at the beautiful brunette in front of me. She slowly opened her eyes; glistening green ones locked with mine.

"Lauren." I let out softly as my lips continued to tingle.

I almost wouldn't have believed it except I just kissed her and she's still standing in front of me.

"Camil-" She begins to whisper, but she's abruptly cut off.

"Hey sweetie, thought you might have gotten lost." He said as entered the classroom, throwing his arm around her shoulders as he gave Lauren a kiss on her temple.

I couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of me. Lauren and Professor Smith, NO.

"Camila, this is Lauren, my fiancé."

FIANCÉ.

A fraction of a second felt like forever.

I gave my head a quick shake and swallowed the lump in my throat as I extended my hand to shake hers. "Fiancé." I almost choked on the word as I nodded my head up and down.

I could feel my stomach turn.

"You can call me Lauren." She shook my hand, my heart fluttered at even the slightest touch from her, eyes softening as if apologetic.

"Camila is my brightest student by far." I watched him boast to Lauren as he gestured with his hand towards me.

Is this really happening? This isn't happening. Lauren's engaged.

Lauren flashed him a quick smile, turning her gaze back to me, unable to say anything.

"Camila, your question?" He turned his attention back to me.

I was drawing a blank, "I um, um…I lost it. I'm sure I'll remember later on." I could feel her green eyes burning though me; we weren't even making eye contact. "I uh, better get going."

~And I will stumble and fall

still learning to love

Just starting to crawl~

I kneeled down to scoop up my notebook and for a second, I didn't think I'd be able to get back up; my knees almost failed me. I could physically feel my heart shattering, I know that doesn't make sense but nothing with Lauren ever did.

I headed towards the door when something stopped me, "Lauren," her eyes already on me as I turned around. "Congratulations."

I walked out the building towards the town car waiting for me and I couldn't stop them from pouring out; I could feel tears streaming down my face. I jumped in the town car that was waiting for me.

"Where to Miss Cabello?" My driver asked as he looked at me from the rearview mirror.

"Give me a minute Rob." I said in between sobs as I rolled the partition up.

I buried my face in my hands and I couldn't stop crying. Is this what a broken heart feels like? It hurts, it fucking hurts! I heard the car door open and shut as I pulled my face out of my hands.

"Camz," she said softly reaching towards me, brushing my tears away with her thumbs.

My breathing was starting to go back to normal. Sobs slowly halted as I looked into concerned green eyes. What is she doing here? Brushing my tears away as if she actually cares.

I muster up all the strength inside of me. "What are you doing here?" I narrowed my eyes, staring intently into green eyes.

"Camila," She cupped my face. "I want to talk, I do, I just, I can't right now okay?" She tucked a piece of stray her behind my ear.

"You came in my car to tell me you want to talk, but can't talk right now?" My tone a little irritated.

"Don't be like that Camz." She said as she squeezed my hand.

I tried to break away from her gaze, but I couldn't; they held me in place. "When?"

"I can meet you tonight." She said as she lightly brushed my face with the back of her hand.

"I'll have a car pick you up." I tried to sound as indifferent as possible and I'm sure I was failing miserably.

"You don't know where I'm staying." She perked up an eyebrow.

"I'm a Cabello." I said as a matter of factly.

Her lips pulled to her ears, causing my face to soften. She softly brushes my face with the back of her fingers before turning towards the car door. I watch her pull the handle and pause. She turned to face me, leaning in, placing a soft, gentle kiss on my quivering lips that left me breathless. She was out the door by the time I opened my eyes.

I stood near the glass window, with the view of the entire New York City Skyline, observing the taller brunette as she explored my home. It was quiet, but I could feel and hear my heart beating as if wanting to escape from my chest.

"Nice place you have here." She said flashing me an adoring half smile, both her hands on my couch as she slightly leaned against it, green eyes penetrating though me.

"Thanks, I saw the view and well, I had to have it." I shrugged before turning to look out the floor to ceiling windows towards the skyline.

I inhaled a deep breath and slowly let it out; I could feel her next to me.

"This view is breathtaking." She whispers huskily looking at the skyline, my eyes on the porcelain-skinned girl next to me.

"Do you love him?" I let out, my voice barely audible as I swallowed the nervousness in my throat.

She shook her head as if to say, don't ask me that question, her eyes still on the skyline.

I let out a frustrated sigh, "so you sleep with me, and just thought it was okay? To cheat? That was okay with you?" I said shaking my head pacing away from the green-eyed girl, my heart speeding up.

"We were broken up, I was having cold feet, that's why I was in The Hamptons, I needed to get away." She directed towards me, my eyes out the window, green ones on me. "Look Camila, I didn't think I'd see you again." She made her way towards me.

She cups my face to bring my gaze to her. "Yeah, well that didn't quite work out as you planned." My eyes intensely staring into green ones that looked lost.

She bit her bottom lip, not knowing how to respond. "Do you feel anything for me? Am I crazy?" I asked as I placed my right hand over her heart, her heartbeat pulsating through my skin.

"It's not that simple Camila!" She exhaled with emotion breaking contact and walking away from me.

It's one of the few times I've seen Lauren let her emotions take over, she's usually calm and collected for the most part.

I made my way towards her, "but it is Lauren, you either feel it or you don't. That's it."

~Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you~

She shook her head, eyes watery, avoiding eye contact. "You're not crazy," she whispered softly.

With those words I quickly closed the little distance between us as I grabbed her face with both my hands and pulled her in for an aggressive, passionate kiss. My lips taking charge as they caressed her salty plump lips that began to move along with mine. We were both slowly moving towards the couch as she gently threw me down on my back. I found myself lost, looking up into green glossy eyes. She NEEDED this; we NEEDED this. The touch, feel, warmth of each other, it was something we both had been longing for. I watched her remove her top slowly, glowing creamy flesh exposed as she bent down to kiss my lips, then my neck, down to my shoulder. I let out a satisfied moan as she pulled back, tugging my shirt over my head as she tossed it on the floor. Her eyes needing, wanting as she bit her bottom lip, taking in every inch of my bare body beneath her. Her right hand undid my jeans as I helped it along, kicking them off of my legs, onto the floor. Her fingers tracing the hem of my undergarment, as I exhaled in frustration.

"Now who's teasing?" I breathe out.

Her lips pulled into a smirk as the words rolled off my lips. She caressed me gently and began to move back and forth, causing me to close my eyes, breaking eye contact. She pressed her full lips onto mine, still moving back and forth. I feel my body tense up and I knew she felt it beneath her as she made her way inside of me. She moved in and out quickly making my walls tighten around her; I couldn't contain it anymore as I let myself go. I screamed in pleasure, panting uncontrollably, fingers gripping her shoulders to help ease the intensity. She flopped on top of me, both of us heaving as I placed my arms tightly around her naked body. I placed a soft warm kiss on her head before drifting off to sleep.

I sat there, on a bench near the bridge in Central Park, waiting anxiously. After being with Lauren the other night I knew I had to ask her to be with me; I wanted her to choose ME. I had sent someone to deliver a note to the green-eyed girl asking her to meet me here at eighth o'clock. It's a quarter til and still no sign of her anywhere. I grabbed my coat around my chest area and scrunched it as if pulling onto my heart; I had to take this chance, I had to KNOW.

~Eight-thirty~

I continued to sit there and glanced at my watch, waiting, hoping.

~Nine o'clock~

I stared off into nothing in particular and didn't realize that tears slowly made their way down my cheeks. The reality hit me all at once, causing my heart to break into an infinite amount of pieces.

~Ten o'clock~

I wiped the tears from my face as I headed towards my town car. I wasn't sure if I'd make it the few feet as I stumbled, my knees so weak. Sobbing. I picked myself back up, exhaled and it was the most painful breath I'd ever let out.

~And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye~

I didn't want to, but I knew it was time to give up. I had to let her go.

"Where to Miss Cabello?" Rob asked as he opened my door.

"Cabello Estate, outside the city. I need to grab a few things from my family's home before my flight." I gave him the best smile I could pull together.

"It's not going to be the same here without you Miss Cabello."

I gave Rob a big hug. "Aren't you tired of driving me around? You've been driving me around for the past seven years." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood as he gave me a half smile. "Listen Rob, the young woman you picked up last week and brought to my penthouse..." My heart ached at just the thought of her; I couldn't bring myself to even say her name.

"Ah yes, Ms. Lauren." He stated in a questioning tone.

"Yes, her. After you drop me off at my parents' estate, I need you to make sure she gets this letter." I handed him a closed envelope. "Make sure she gets this."

He simply nodded and made his way to the driver seat.

~Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something~

I took one last look around the buildings that surrounded that of my home, taking it in for one last time. I couldn't stand to stay in the same city as HER knowing she was with someone else, let alone my home we made love in. I swallowed the heartache that formed in my throat and took a deep breath before jumping in the town car. Images flooded my mind and my heart; long dark brown locks flowing, smooth, silky porcelain skin, plump, full lips that made me weak in the knees when pulled to her eyes, those eyes. Green eyes that changed with her mood, conveying every emotion without speaking one word. I sighed trying to leave those images behind as I watched the city disappear behind me.
