That One Thing I (Camren)

Chapter V

Will it become painful if you will love me?

If it will, then just don't.

I'm satisfied knowing that I am the only one suffering.

Because if it's the both of us,

I don't want to discover what could happen to me.

"Lauren? Where have you been?" Ally asked as Lauren stepped foot inside the apartment.

"Check up." Lauren sat beside her.

"And?"

Lauren sighed. "Over stress... The doctor wants me to rest... I'm going to have a break."

Ally nodded. "Good for you, Laur. When?"

Lauren closed her eyes as she leaned her back on the sofa. "Tomorrow..."

Ally nodded again.

"Al?" Lauren called her as she stared on the ceiling.

"Hmm...?" Ally responded, imitating Lauren's act.

"Jane said that one of you will accompany me."

"Who?"

Lauren sat properly and gave Ally a weak smile. "Isn't it obvious?"

"I see."

"I tried complaining but... failed."

"Do you hate me that much?"

Lauren and Ally looked at the direction of the voice to find Camila standing a few meters away from them, looking offended.

"What?" Lauren unconsciously asked, surprise at Camila's words.

Camila stared firmly at Lauren. "Do you hate me that much that you don't want me to take care of you anymore?"

Ally glanced at the two, not knowing what to say.

Lauren blinked her eyes. "It's not that-"

"Then I'll take care of you."
