Camila's POV
                          
I cried and cried for maybe about an hour with Lauren beside me comforting me, never thought that would happen!
                          
"Why are you so nice to me now?" I asked her wiping my tears
                          
"What do you mean?" she said and I scoffed.
                          
"I mean like out of now where you're being nice to me and comforting me when you could have done so all along its been 4 years Lauren. Since 9th grade why?" I said through my sniffles remembering how she makes my life a living hell.
                          
"You want the truth?" Lauren said gulping and looking into my eyes and I nodded.
                          
"Okay but you might get upset and I don't care if you do but I'm not leaving you understand?" She said sternly I nodded slowly as I was internally rolling my eyes.
                          
"Taylor wanted me to try and be nice to you, so I did earlier today at practice but I didn't want to. But after I did some thinking I really wanted to know you better so I texted you. And I was planning on talking to you after the game about our past. I'm sorry Camila I truly am and I'm wrong for everything I'm just- I'm just confused." She said still looking at me and she looked down fiddling with her fingers.
                          
"How did you even get in a conversation about me with your sister and what do you mean by 'confused'?" I questioned overly confused, if she wanted to treat me like shit for four years then she should be able to answer me.
                          
She took a deep breath,
                          
"Okay Taylor thinks I'm a lesbian or I'm bi because 'I've never liked my boyfriends' or she thinks I'm a nobody at school and she figured that I haven't came to terms with my sexuality because well I am Lauren Jauregui and I was and still am confused about my sexuality. So she told me to talk to you and now that I say it, it seems so  fucking wrong and I'm sorry I didn't realize." She explained while I nodded trying to absorb everything.
                          
"So you don't like me?" I asked frowning confused and she basically stopped breathing as her eyes widened a little.
                          
"Wha-What do you mean like as a friend orrr girlfriend?" She slightly stuttered as she gulped.
                          
"Both" I said sniffling and she looked around.
                          
"I would love to try and be friends so that's a yes I do like you as a friend. Uhm do I have to answer the other one?" She asked scratching her head awkwardly and I frowned shrugging.
                          
"Yes, I won't judge you if you do it's not going to affect anything so yeah." I spoke not knowing what my own reaction would be if she did like me.
                          
"I haven't really figured it out yet. That's one of the reasons I would be friends with you cause maybe my feelings are platonic orrr not you know? Uh do you? Y-You know have feelings? For me?" She stuttered and I looked at her then my hands.
                          
"Yeah I like you as a friend I always have but um-"
                          
"Just say it we're both being honest here so it's okay." Lauren cut me off with a smile and I laughed lightly.
                          
"Uhhh yeah a little bit cause you're like really pretty but it's all good, no hard feelings." I said a little too quickly and her smile faded a bit but then she brightened up and gave me a hug.
                          
"So enough about me why are you crying?" She asked softly as she looked into my eyes, I sighed felt the familiar burn sensation come to my own eyes.
                          
"My soccer career is over, I'm literally going to kill Briana when I'm out of this cast like what am I supposed to do now Soccer is my life." I explained letting a few tears fall down and she carefully wiped them away.
