Tears fell from my eyes as I looked at her "why Camila why did you do it then" I asked desperately, begging her for an answer.
She runs her fingers through her hair "I did it to make Lauren jealous. I did it because I wanted to show Lauren that she'll never be good enough for you" she states.
Hearing her say that made something inside of me break. I couldn't believe that she was using me to make my best friend jealous "how could you? How could you use me to make my best friend jealous and then turn around and act like she's the bad guy" my voice began to raise "because of you I lost my best friend and I'm pretty sure I can never get that back" my voice broke as more tears ran down my cheeks.
Camila sighs "Y/N I'm sor-"
"Save it" I spat as I ran out of her room and her house. I got into my car and drove to the one person that I needed the most right now.
-Lauren-
I was sitting on the couch flipping through channels when my doorbell rang. An annoyed huff left my lips as I stood up and shuffled towards the door. Opening the door my eyes widened in shock when I saw Y/N standing there "look I don't know what Camila told you but it's not true" I spoke coldly as I closed the door.
"Lauren wait can I talk to you" she begged stopping the door from closing.
I looked up at her and noticed that her eyes were red and puffy "Y/N what's wrong" I asked pulling her into me. She didn't speak as she broke down in my arms "Y/NN talk to me. What happened" I asked again.
"Camila cheated on me with Austin" her voice was muffled but I heard her as clear as day.
I clenched my jaw in anger because I was hoping that this would happen but unfortunately it did and I feel absolutely horrible.
"But that's not what hurts the most" she spoke as she pulled away from me "what hurts is the fact that she used me to make you jealous. She told me lies and broke us apart and knowing that I believed her over you hurts me to the core. I'm so sorry" she whimpers out as she cries harder.
In that moment I didn't care about what happened two weeks ago all that matters now is comforting my best friend "Y/N I'm not mad at you. I forgive you" I said truthfully. Her sad grey eyes looked into mine "r-really?" I nod "really" I answered. A small smile graced her lips as she hugs me tightly. I smiled as I held her in my arms. This is definitely a new start for us.

It's been two weeks since the night Lacie came to my door cry and everything since then has been great. Y/N completely cut Camila out of her life and we went back to being best friends and I couldn't be happier.
I walked into the library and spotted Y/N sitting in the back reading like always. I smiled to myself because I couldn't get over how absolutely adorable she looks with her hair up and her focus strictly on the book she's reading. I loved this side of her.
"Hey Y/NN" I whispered as I took a seat next to her.
Her bright (Y/EC) eyes gazed up at me with a small smile "hey LoLo what's up" she asked her voice holding a nervous tone to it.
I just shrugged "nothing I just wanted to spend time with my best friend" I said as I played with her fingers.
Her eyes dropped to our hands as she bit her lip "really. Um n-now isn't really a good time" she stumbles on her words.
I furrowed my eyebrows at her weird behavior "Y/NN are you ok" I asked intertwining my fingers with her. She immediately shakes her head as she stands up "no not really. Uh I have to go" she rambles as she ran out of the library.
I frowned because I'm not understanding why she's acting like this. Did I do something? Is she mad at me? Why is she acting like this? I don't understand.
-Y/N-
It's happening again. The butterflies swarming in my stomach whenever she's around. Whenever she holds my hand or plays with my fingers. Every time she smiles it feels like my heart is beating a hundred miles per second. It's the same feeling I've been getting since I first set eyes on the beautiful brunette freshman year. I think it's time that I face the fact that I'm completely head over heels in love with my best friend.
I walked to the guidance counselor's office because I really needed to talk to someone "Mrs Hernandez can I talk to you" I asked as I peaked my head through the door.
She perks up "of course Y/N! What's on your mind" she asks.
I sighed and sunk into the chair in front of her desk "I'm in love with my best friend" I blurted out "I'm in love with her and I don't know what to do" I ranted.
"Well before I give you any advice I want you to tell me how you figured that out" she says.
I smiled as I thought about my dark haired best friend "well it's the way she makes me feel safe like nothing and no one can hurt me. The way her smile makes my heart beat out of my chest and how I can't pay attention to anything whenever she's around" I began "the way she can make me laugh with just the simplest things. How her hand fits perfectly in mine and the way the butterflies go crazy in my stomach whenever she's around. I never ever got these feelings with my ex" I said.
Mrs Hernandez smiles at me "Y/N I think you know exactly what you should do. You have to let her know how you feel" she tells me. I nodded before thanking her and leaving her office. Now to figure out away to tell Lauren that I'm in love with her. I just hope she doesn't reject me.

I stayed up all night trying to think of the perfect way to tell Lauren just how much I love her and I think I know how. I walked towards my locker and rolled my eyes when I saw Camila standing there "what do you want Camila" I asked plainly.
She bats her eyes at me "I wanted to know if I could have another chance. I broke things off with Austin" she tells me. I nod "ok cool but you're not getting anything chance Camila, we're done" I spoke honestly. She frowns before walking away. I grabbed my things before heading off to class.
All through class I couldn't stop looking at Lauren. She was so effortlessly beautiful that I couldn't help but stare at her. I'm pretty sure that I'm looking at her with heart eyes and I'm not even ashamed of it. I'm in love.
The bell rings and I quickly gather up my things "hey Lauren can I speak to you in the gym" I asked nervously. She glanced at me "yeah of course" she said. I smiled at her before walking out of class with her right behind me and towards the gym.
Walking in I heard Lauren gasp "Y/N what is this" she asked when she saw the collage of us. I smiled as I took her hand in mine "Lauren I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to blurt it out" a nervous chuckle left my lips "I'm in love with you Lauren." There I said it.
Her eyes widened when I said that "you what" she asked. I played with my fingers nervously "I'm in love with you Lauren and I completely understand if you don't feel the same way about me" I said.
"I love you too Y/N. I always have" she says.
Everything was in slow motion as I ran into her arms and kissed her passionately. The butterflies and fireworks in my stomach went crazy. I've never felt this before and it honestly makes me to happy "will you be my girlfriend" I asked breathlessly. She nods eagerly before quickly connecting our lips again. Everything is finally how it is supposed to be and I could not be happier.
