What?”“The shooting,” Lauren sighed, wincing at her words. There was silence on the other end of the line.“Don’t tell me it w-,”“It was,” Lauren interrupted him, wanting to get the conversation over with as quickly as possible. “She’s not hurt. Just a little shaken up. Well, more than a little, but… yeah,” she exhaled slowly.“Well if you ever need something to do, you two can come over and entertain the devil baby,” Toby joked, understanding that Lauren didn’t want to talk about it much.“I’ll keep that in mind,” Lauren laughed half-heartedly, scanning her emails once more. “So….”“So…” Toby mimicked her, making Lucas laugh in the background.“I was thinking for the Gagery project that we could get H-,” Lauren began, but was interrupted.“Woah, woah, woah, we’re working?” Toby laughed. Lauren raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Dude, don’t stress yourself out.”“It needs to be done,” Lauren shook her head. “It’s fine.”“No it’s not,” Toby rebutted. “Take a break, Laur. I can handle it from here. The Gagery project isn’t even due for another month.”“But-,”“I’m serious. Otherwise I’m gonna send Lucas over to slobber all over you,” Toby laughed. Sighing, Lauren shut her laptop.“Are you sure?”“I’m sure. I can handle it for now, I promise,” Toby laughed at Lauren’s hesitancy. “Go… take a nap or something. Just give yourself a break.”“Thanks,” Lauren laughed softly. After saying their goodbyes, the green eyed girl sighed, bringing her hands up to her forehead and rubbing at her temple. She, too, was exhausted.Quietly, the green eyed girl tiptoed down the hallway and back into the bedroom. She silently celebrated when she found Camila asleep, one of her legs dangling off the bed. Wolf sat beside the smaller girl protectively, tilting his head to the side when he heard the door creak open.Lauren remained silent, sitting down on her side of the bed and letting out the breath she’d been holding. Wolf padded over to her, sniffing her hand tentatively. Once he confirmed it was Lauren, he hopped off the bed and headed into the hallway, content that he had left Camila with someone trustworthy.Sighing, the green eyed girl ran a hand through her hair. She felt the bed move behind her, but just as she was about to turn around, a pair of arms snaked around her waist.The smaller girl scooted forward behind Lauren, resting her chin on the older girl’s shoulder and sighing softly. Lauren was frozen for a few seconds, shocked by Camila’s actions.“Did I wake you up?” Lauren asked softly, turning her head slightly to try and look at the girl. Camila just shrugged, closing her eyes and leaning her head against the older girl’s.“I love you,” Lauren whispered, letting out a tired sigh when Camila didn’t respond. She caught sight of their reflection in the mirror and bit her lip.Gently, Camila moved one of her hands to find Lauren’s, slowly tracing a heart on the back of her palm. She lifted her head to see if the older girl understood.Lauren glanced down at their hands and then over at Camila, smiling softly. She took the younger girl’s hand in hers, repeating the action by tracing a heart on her palm before kissing it, gently curling Camila’s fingers into a fist.Yeah, things would get better.–a/n: there’s hopeeeeeeealso, quick reminder that there won’t be an update tomorrow bc i’m spending part of the weekend at my friend’s house.
