Chapter 41

                                    

                                          
Camila returned home the next morning not bothering to charge her dead phone as she walked up the long flight of stairs that welcomed her into the lounge, she'd left way before Fallon or Mani woke unable to ponder any longer on whether the girl even returned home safely, she knew Fallon was only sticking up for her and she was too upset to even call Lauren back but still.. she felt guilty
                          
She wondered quietly into the bedroom noticing the full beam of light echoing against the walls while Lauren lay draped over her side of the bed with her flush cheeks and messy bun leaning against her forearm, behind her was Sam waking as he heard the small creak of the floorboard sitting himself up to peel from the sheets
                          
"Oh your back, I uh.. stayed here last night.. someone had to watch her"
                          
His voice was tinted with a slight rash of sarcasm as he joined her out in the hall gently closing the door behind him not wanting to wake the fragile feeling Lauren who had been vomiting for most of the night 
                          
"Watch her? Is.. is she ok?"
                          
"Well after she found out you guys really left her last night she had this huge mental breakdown type thing and just started throwing the shots back like water.. that and the added drama with those girls.. she was wasted.."
                          
He shot honestly with a blatantly pissed tone as he walk to grab himself a coffee ignoring Camila following quickly behind with deep furrowed brows 
                          
"Wait are you serious? She had a break down? And wh- what drama?"
                          
"Yes I'm serious Karla! She started panicking wondering where you'd both gone before grabbing at her chest like a fucking heart attack was about to hit!"
                          
He began furiously stirring his coffee while the younger gulped back feeling more than guilty she'd even followed Fallon out.. but she was upset.. she didn't regret it one bit...but knowing Lauren had been upset only hurt her entire heart
                          
"That was it! She was a mess, tapping her fingers together hyperventilating and just repeating 'no no where is she' over and over again! I gave her a drink to calm her down but that was for sure a mistake as she didn't stop until the sound of her own name flew over her head!"
                          
Camila swallowed down harshly feeling majorly upset that her girlfriend had felt so anxious, her heart almost broke but Lauren still did wrong.. she hurt her and still walked away even after seeing her cry.. regardless of Fallon's hand she still would have expected a bit of a fight back
                          
"Sam she was being a Jerk! She knew it too, I saw it in her eyes, all she wanted to do was spend time with everyone else but me! So yeah I feel guilty but does no one give a shit about me in this?" 
                          
"You left her in a fucking club mama! Yeah she may seem super confident and outgoing now but YOU put her there! You dragged her into this world? She doesn't know what attention is? Fuck she didn't even know how to respond to it when it came! She thought those girls were being nice to her when really they were fucking mocking her! But you wouldn't know that because instead of going with her and joining in you stood back and felt sorry for yourself!"  
                          
Sam spat in one large gulp before huffing back exhaustedly to drag a finger down his throat just staring back at the young Latina who seemed to have fallen silent in her tracks.. 
                          
"M- Mocking her?"
                          
"They weren't fans Karla! They were getting her drunk to film her making an idiot of herself! Spitting in her drink without her realising and then laughing at her when they deliberately tripped her over! But she didn't notice! She didn't fucking notice somehow that these 'sweet girls' just wanted to laugh at her! But you knew she was a little different huh! And you trusted that she'd be ok!"
