What About Me?

Lauren's POV
*back home*

"Hey everyone I'm home!", I shouted out as I entered my home.

"Hey Laur!", I heard Ashley greet.

"Lauren look what me and Halsey made!", My sister came up to me and showed me a well made drawing of a dog.

"Wow, this is really good!", I praised.

"Thanks! I'ma go back to coloring.", Taylor said happily as she wobbled away.

I'm smiled brightly. Ashley always knew how to keep Taylor entertained and happy. I'm blessed to have her.

"So how was it?", Ashley asked.

Uh... it was definitely something.", I said quietly.

Crap. Should I tell her?

"What do you mean?", Ashley questioned.

"A lot happened. Nothing bad, but definitely unexpected.", I said.

"Was it about Mike?", Ashley asked hesitantly.

"No, but it was about someone else.", I said nervous.

Ashley raised her eyebrow at titled her head in confusion. Where was I going with this? I have no idea.

"Is it another family member? Cause some of your aunts live in Miami still.", Ashley asked.

"No... um Ash?", I called.

"Yeah?", Ashley said worriedly.

"I been meaning tell you that at the institution I met a girl.", I sighed.

"A girl?", Ashley said. "Who?"

"Her name is Camila and she's super sweet. The night I had to stay at the institution I accidentally walked into her room. I stayed there for awhile and we just, you know, hanged out. Then she.... kissed me... and I d-didn't push her away and I-I k-inda... I don't k-know-", I was cut off by the feel of arms wrapping around my waist.

"Lauren, hey it's ok. Breathe.", Ashley said soothingly.

I knew I was starting to panic. I knew I was stuttering, but I thought I could cover it up. I guess not though.

"Are you trying to tell me something?", Ashley asked nicely.

"I'm bisexual.", I said nervously.

I was ready for my friend to scold at me. Hurt with her words. Be ashamed of me. Walk out of this house and never come back. The thought sent tears down my cheek as I hid my face.

"Lauren look me love.", Ashley ordered.

I slightly peered my eyes out from arms and looked at Ashley. Expecting an angry glare, instead I met a calm, smiling beautiful blue haired girl.

"You don't have to be scared. You don't have to hide that from me. I love that you are bisexual. It will never make me despise you. Don't cry baby girl. It just so happens that I'm bisexual too. I never said anything because I was scared of what you would think too. I'm not afraid anymore and you shouldn't be either.", Ashley said happily as she wiped the tears off my face.

My faced lightened up by her words. And she's bisexual too?! Wow!

"Aww Ash.", I said as I pulled her into another hug. "I love you.

"I love you too Laur.", she gleamed.

"So this Camila girl? She better treat you right Lauren. I trust you. You've always had hunches when it came to love. So I hope your hunch is right with this one or else I'll be the one sliding in your dm to hook up with you. ", Ashley teased.
