(8:36 AM)
-Unknown contact has been changed to Ally-
Camila: Hey! Lauren give you my number?
(8:40 AM)

(8:45 AM)

(8:47 AM)

(9:00 AM)
Camila: I don't want to hurt her
(9:03 AM)
Camila: I like her, a lot
(9:03 AM)
Ally: Are you gay?
(9:06 AM)
Camila: You get right to the point huh? ...No? I don't know. Maybe? I'm not straight that's for sure
(9:10 AM)
Ally: She is in a lot of pain right now
(9:12 AM)
Ally: She is scared
(9:13 AM)
Ally: She doesn't fall, not like this, not this quickly
(9:13 AM)
Camila: I know
(9:15 AM)
Ally: You know what she's told you
(9:16 AM)
Ally: I'm gonna tell you a secret
(9:16 AM)
Camila: Okay?
(9:18 AM)
Ally: Keana pushed Lauren to come out and things were bad for a long time. Her parents accept her now, but they didn't at first and she lost a lot of her friends. Keana made her come out and two weeks later she told Lauren she was straight. Lauren thought Keana was questioning. That's what Keana told her at least
(9:21 AM)
Camila: She wasn't?
(9:22 AM)
Ally: There was a rumor that Lauren like girls, Keana knew she did and she used that knowledge to win a bet. She used Lauren to gain popularity, she used Lauren as a prop, it was all a game
(9:24 AM)
Ally: Keana was never questioning, Lauren played into it because all Lauren ever wanted was someone to love her for who she was and Keana was a great actress
(9:25 AM)
Camila: I would never hurt her like that
(9:26 AM)
Camila: That's horrible
(9:26 AM)
Camila: Ally, I want Lauren. All of her, the good and the bad
(9:27 AM)
Ally: She's a little broken
(9:28 AM)
Camila: So am I
(9:29 AM)
Ally: Are you going to tell her?
(9:31 AM)
Camila: Yes
(9:33 AM)
Ally: Don't break her heart okay?
(9:35 AM)
Camila: I would never want to
(9:36 AM)
Camila: I promise
(9:36 AM)
Ally: I believe you, please don't make me regret it
(9:37 AM)
Camila: I won't, she's here. I gotta go
(9:45 AM)

Camila and Lauren were laying on Camila's bed the way they had been for hours, they discussed their favourite movies, books and shared with one another their favourite songs and whenever Camila leaned in closer to Lauren, Lauren pulled back. Camila finally relented and fell into her pillow, her back straight against the bed and eyes on the ceiling and Lauren mirrored her actions.
"I'm not Keana," Camila said with a sigh, breaking the silence that had squeezed between them. "I'm not sure if I'm gay, maybe I'm bi, I really don't know. All I know is that no one has ever made me feel the way you do and that's real to me. This," Camila said reaching for Lauren's hand and placing it on her heart so Lauren could feel how hard and how fast it was beating. "This is not a game, this is not a joke, it's not me questioning. This is the answer to every question I thought I've ever asked myself. I want you and it would mean the world to me if you would give me a chance to prove it. You said when I was ready you'd take me on a proper date, I want that. I want it more than words can say."
