Camila's POV:

It's Monday, 3:30 pm, and I'm walking to my car.

Lauren was sick today, so she wasn't at school, now we got an old English teacher, school was soooo boring!

I throw my backpack in the passenger seat and start the car, I'm off to play with my little sister.

I take the long way to my parents' house, because there was really good music on the radio, I love music and I think I want to do something with music when I graduate and have to look for a job.

I mean, I can play the guitar, and people say I can sing pretty good, so I think I can do something with it.

I pull up at the huge mansion my little sister lives in with her nanny's, since my parents are always on business trips.

I stop my car in front of the car garages next to the mansion and grab my backpack, getting out of the car and locking it.

I walk to the front door that used to be the one I came trough every day, but I was done with it, with my parents, and this house, so I moved away.

As soon as I ring the door bell, it opens and my sister Sofia hugs me tight, and when I say tight, I mean real tight.

"C'mon Sof, let's play!" I say and take her hand, walking to the kitchen where I place my backpack on one of the barstools.

I walk to the fridge and smile excitedly, juiceboxes! Yeet!

"Hey sofi, want a juicebox?" I ask and she nods.

I grab two juiceboxes and Martha, the cleaner walks in.

"Camila!" She says excitedly, pulling me in a hug as I greet her too.

Martha knew me since I was a baby, god she knew me my whole life, she's amazing, someone I could always talk to when I had problems.

I sit on one of the barstools, happily drinking my juicebox as she laughs at me, "I knew you would like them", she says laughing.

As I throw away my empty juice box, Sofia runs to me, "Mila, Mila, you HAVE to see my new doll!" She says and grabs my hand, dragging me to her pink decorated room.

After a few hours of playing with sofi, I think it's time to go home.

I walk to the kitchen, with Sofia holding my hand, to pick up my backpack.

"Well, well, well, if that isn't my long lost daughter" is the first thing I hear when I walk into the kitchen.

When did my mother came home?

"Hi" I say, nervously."What are you doing here?" She asks.

That's right, my parents sort of disowned me when I came out.

"I came to play with Sofia, she asked me" I say, looking down.

"I don't want you to come here anymore, and I don't want you to have contact with my daughter anymore! My daughter does not have to be in touch with a.. gay... person" My mother, well, not my mother anymore apparently says.

"What? So I'm not your daughter anymore? Fine with me, I don't want to be the child of a homophobic bitch" I say angrily, and grab my backpack.

"Hey, you don't talk to you mother like that!" My, well used to be, dad says.

"Apparently she's not my mother anymore so I don't fucking care!" I yell and run out of the front door.

"Bye kaki! I love you!" Sofia yells, she ran after me.

I walk to her, "bye bubba, I love you too, so much" I say and kiss her cheek.

As I sit in my car, and drive away from the mansion, the tears start to flow.

I pull up at a shop besides the highway, not being able to drive safely because I'm sobbing right now, and I can't see clearly.

As I calmed down a little bit, and only being silently crying, I get out of my car, walking into the shop.

Months ago, I would buy a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and would smoke until I calmed down, but now, when I try to stop, I'm buying some cans of Redbull and a bar of milk chocolate.

I get into my car again, driving the last 20 minutes home.

As I walk into my condo, the tears start to flow again and my sobs are the only sound that fills the condo.

I take of my shoes and sit on the couch, burying my head in my hands.

3rd person's POV:

That moment the front door flies open, and Dinah is ready to yell her greeting, but as soon as she sees her best friend sitting on the couch, sobbing, she runs to her side, Normani trailing behind.

"Hey, hey, it's okay Mila, it's okay" Dinah says, hugging her best friend.

While Camila sobs in Dinah's shoulder, Normani rubs her back.

Camila's POV:

As I calm down, and drink a little of the water Normani brought me, Dinah asks the question, "What's wrong honey?", and she smiles at me, still rubbing my back.

"Apparently I don't have parents anymore" I sigh.

"It was a nice feeling y'know, at least having parents.. no supporting parents but hey, they were there.." I say, looking at Dinah sadly.

"Sh-she said she wasn't my mother anymore.. I-I don't have parents anymore guys" I say and the tears run down my face again.

"Hey, hey, it's okay honey, it's gonna be okay" Dinah says trying to calm me down since it looks like I'm having a panic attack, what will happen soon enough cause I'm starting to have problems with breathing.

"Hey, calm down Cam, c'mon, breathe with me okay? In... and out..." she says, as she grabs my hands and kneels between my legs.

"In... and out, you're doing good Mila, c'mon, in... and out".

After a few more tries, I still don't calm down and I feel like I'm going to pass out, I still can't breathe properly.

"Okay that's it, I'm calling Miss Jauregui" Dinah says and she grabs my phone, as Normani tries to help me breathe this time.

After two minutes or so, Dinah walks back in the living room, whispering "she's gonna be here in a minute". And sits next to me, rubbing my back as I still have problems breathing.

15 seconds later, Lauren walks inside the condo, smiling at Mani and Dinah and kneeling  between my legs, the same position Dinah had just a few seconds ago.

"We'll give you guys some privacy" Dinah says, and dragging Normani to the kitchen.

"Hey, hey baby, I'm here okay, try to breathe" Lauren says, with this caring look.

She looks directly in my eyes and I start breathing properly now.

She smiles at me when I finally breathe normally, her green eyes never leave my brown ones.

She sits next to me and pulls me on her lap, so I'm straddling her and wraps her arms around my waist as I wrap my arms around her neck, burying my head in her neck as she does the same.

We just sit there in a comfortable silence, just hugging as we hear a camera go off, and we look to our left where Dinah is standing with her phone directed to us with Mani standing next to her, arm wrapped around her waist.

We both laugh, shaking our heads and the others soon join in.

"Okay so I just came for your highlighter, so I'm gonna grab it and we'll go to the restaurant, Dinah says, walking to my bedroom.

Wait.. my highlighter? "Oh hell no!" I yell, running after her.

Soon I'm chasing Dinah around the condo, she having my expensive highlighter in her hands and me trying to get it, Mani and Lauren are just sitting on the couch, shaking their heads.

Normani smiles at Dinah, who trips over her own feet and falls on the ground, me grabbing the highlighter box out of her hands and running away, standing on the coffee table opening the box to see if it isn't broken.

I sigh, seeing it not broken and stick out my tongue to Dinah who grabs Mani's hand and walking to me, pulling me off the coffee table and hugging me, "I'm glad you're okay, call me later okay?" She asks and I nod, "have fun on your little date, text me the details later" I smirk as she flips me off and they walk out of the door.

I walk back to my bedroom, laying the beloved highlighter box on my makeup table when I feel warm arms wrap around me from behind.

I melt in her embrace and lay my hands on hers.

"Are you okay now?" Lauren asks as she lays her chin on my shoulder, looking at me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I say and smile, resting my head on hers.

"Let's watch some Supergirl shall we" she smiles at me, knowing it's my favorite show, and I nod, smiling.

As we lay on the couch, I feel her staring at me, and I stare back.

After minutes of staring we just break out laughing, to the point we're crying.

We both don't know why we're laughing but we are.

She starts to tickle me and I start to wiggle in her grip, and laugh louder.

As she finally stops we just look into each other's eyes.

"God I love you" I say, smiling."I love you too, so much" she says, also smiling.
