Think Again (Camren)

Some Kind of Trouble

Yea, she loved me.

"We need to go out for a bit. Clear our heads and spend some time together." I shrugged and followed her down the stairs. "Besides, if we do that here, you may end up getting bored with me and go back to your hockey games."

"Sofi, you're not that boring." She smiled.

Right before dinner, Austin and my Dad went to pick up Camila's vehicle. Her battery was dead so they replaced it and got her CRV back on the road again. I think Camila was grateful.

She still had a getaway vehicle.

I was dying for Lauren's mustang though. Damn. That woman has taste in cars.

We settled into small conversation on our way to the city; nothing too serious even though I wanted to ask her about her engagement with Lauren.

Somehow I knew that was off topic at that moment so I never even tried.

"Go grab a booth," she said as soon as we stepped inside. I wasn't even carded, nice.

Camila came back with two Dr. Peppers and she was smiling. "Wow, is that a smile?"

"Oh yea, I totally got us free drinks." She laughed and slid in next to me. "So, there's a reason you dragged me out."

"Well you didn't look busy," I shrugged, "Lauren's at home, Sammy's at work, Kyla's kind of limited..." I looked around and bit my lip, "I thought we could just share some quality sister time."

Camila smiled and nodded. "Yea, probably a nice idea to do this more often."

"Now that you're going to get all married." I teased and even though I said I wasn't going to bring it up, I was glad I did. She just looked down at her ring and smiled. "So what are you going to tell Mom and Dad?"

She cleared her throat and took a quick sip of her drink. "We're not," she sighed and looked at me, "not until after graduation."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and played with my straw. "So, um," I twirled the plastic straw around in my glass before tilting my head at her, "did you want to talk about earlier?"

"Not really." Camila muttered and ran her fingers through her hair before she started laughing. "I just don't get her, you know? I mean, I love her so much, Sofi. She has my whole heart in her hand and I trust her with it, I do. But with the way she's acting, I just, I'm scared that it's going to fall from her grasp and I'm not ready for that kind of shattering."

I frowned and licked my lips. "Is she... you don't think she's cheating, do you?"

I wouldn't believe it if Camila said yes because my sister was all Lauren could see. Everyone saw that.

"God no," she breathed and looked at me almost scared like, "she has an issue with Normani."

Oh. Yea. I was there when they had their little one on one showdown. Talk about being in the middle of an uncomfortable situation. Lauren was even jealous that Normani was talking to me.

She needed to stop.

"Mila, maybe you should just leave her be for now. Lauren's a big girl and if she knows what's good for her, she'll shed her jealous skin and get over it before she loses you."

Camila chuckled sadly and chewed on her lip. "Despite the fact that she's driving me crazy with all of this – it'll take a lot more than that for her to be driven away from my life," she nudged me and smiled, "I'm in love Sofi and Lauren makes me happy. There's no way I'm letting that go."

"You two just needed a little space, is that why she went home?" I asked quietly. "You two aren't breaking up right? Because when everything went down between the two of you the first time, my heart was the one that shattered. You'd both be stupid and blind if you didn't realize you were meant to be."
