Who Should I Choose? (Camren/You)

Chapter 5

It has been a few weeks since Camila had told you everything about her family and her past. At first you were shocked when she said she actually wanted to not only attend her family get together, but she wanted you to go with her. You questioned her at first as to why she would want to go to that. She informed you that she finally feels ready to face her family, whether it's to tell them to fuck off to their faces or to try to forgive them, she isn't exactly sure yet. Plus, she does have some family members that she misses dearly, for instance her cousins Ally Brooke Hernandez and Selena Gomez. (A/n let's just pretend they're related. If you don't like it, you should know what to do by now.) Unfortunately for Camila, when she had cut ties with her immediate family, that meant she had to disconnect not only from them, but with her entire family, whom she was very close to. Ally and Selena had not only been Camila's cousins growing up, but they were also friends and almost older sisters to her so it was very difficult for her to lose them. You know that the reunion is going to be anything but easy for Camila and she needs all the support she can get. You tell her with zero hesitance that you will go with her.

*Day Of The Reunion*

The day that you have been feeling slightly anxious about has finally arrived. It is Friday and the reunion lasts through Sunday. You and Camila plan to sleep in her old room unless things go wrong of course, then you'll stay in a hotel or just go back home. You have approximately an hour long drive to Camila's parent's house. Throughout the drive, you can tell Camila's anxiety is gradually increasing. She's extremely nervous, which she has every right to be. You try to comfort her by having nice, light, and random conversations. You go from telling her what's been happening at work recently to this one time you accidentally tripped and knocked over an entire row of baked goods down at a grocery store which resulted in you getting yelled at by the manager. You feel special when she laughs, even if it is just over a stupid little story. When an hour passes and you finally arrive at the family's house, Camila begins to panic,
"You know maybe this wasn't the best idea? Maybe I'm not ready? Oh fuck, I'm definitely not ready! What in the hell made me think I was ready? Let's just go back home and take a nap!" you almost laugh at how fast she has just said everything and at the current look on her face but you restrain yourself,
"Baby," you grab her hand and start tracing small shapes, knowing it calms her down, "I know you're nervous, I'm kind of nervous too. But you need to do this. It's time for you to move on from your past and the only way you'll be able to do that is to face it. Plus, I think it's time for me to meet all of your great family members like Ally and Selena. I deserve to hear some of your embarrassing childhood stories too!" She playfully hits your shoulder and let's out a small laugh, "And I promise C, I won't let anyone hurt you. If anyone tries anything, I will personally unleash the wrath of Finah Jane and I put together!" She lets out an even bigger laugh this time and you know you've successfully completed your job of calming her down, "You can do this, Love. We can do this," She smiles and gives you a sweet kiss,
"Thank you so much Babe. You're right, we can do this! Let's go," You both exit the car, link hands, and walk towards the front door.

Within a few seconds of ringing the doorbell, the door opens revealing a pretty girl who looks to be in her mid-twenties, five feet tall, has dirty-blonde hair, and tan skin.
"Oh my gosh! Mila!" The girl shouts out which kind of startles you considering you're literally all standing right next to each other. Camila quickly let's go of your hand and practically runs into the girl's arms,
"Allycat!" They hold each other for ten seconds or so before pulling back,
"Mila, I'm so happy to see you! They told me you might come but I honestly didn't think you would. I've missed you so much,"
"Als, I've missed you so much too. I'm so sorry for not contacting you these past years. Just with everything that happened, I didn't think I could really talk to you," You can see Camila genuinely feels bad for not talking to Ally by the way she sounds and looks at the ground,
"Don't worry about it CC. (A/n let's pretend that's a nick name for her. K thanks.) I completely understand, you did what you had to do. I'm just glad you're here now. And who's this?" Ally looks in your direction,
"This is my girlfriend, Y/N Y/LN. Y/N, this is Ally," You decide it's time to speak,
"Hi Ally. It's great to meet you. I've heard great things about you,"
"It's great to meet you too, Y/N. I've only been around you for a few minutes but I can already tell my cousin here is head-over-heels for you," You're confused as to how Ally would know that. You look to Camila for help,
"Ally always has been really great at reading people. Especially me," You redirect your attention back towards Ally,
"Well Ally, I can't exactly speak for Cami, but I can definitely say that I am head-over-heels for her,"
"Aww. You got yourself a keeper here CC. Let's go inside shall we?"
