Four episodes of Friends and a bag of popcorn later, all five girls were exhausted. Lauren and Camila were the only ones still awake.Camila yawned, turning over and smiling sleepily at Lauren. The green eyed girl couldn’t help but lean down and kiss the smaller girl’s forehead.“Y'ready to go to bed?” Lauren said quietly, not wanting to wake her other roommates. Camila nodded and pried herself out of the older girl’s grasp, shuffling towards the stairs. Lauren followed close behind.The minute the door to the bedroom was closed, Camila placed her hands on Lauren’s shoulders and stood on her tiptoes, capturing the older girl’s lips in her own. Lauren was taken aback, but quickly caught on.“You’re good at that,” she whispered when the kiss broke. Camila giggled and hopped onto the bed, laying on her back and staring up at the ceiling. Lauren changed into a big t-shirt and sleep shorts and joined Camila on the bed.Legs entwined, hearts beating, chests rising and falling; both girls fell asleep almost instantly in each other’s arms.A scream pierced through the silent air, jolting Lauren out of her slumber. The green eyed girl bolted upwards, darting her eyes around the room and trying to figure out what was going on. The trembling figure beside her quickly made her realize.“Camz,” Lauren whispered, shaking Camila’s shoulder to try and wake her up. It was no use. Unsure of what else to do, the green eyed girl pulled Camila’s sleeping body into her lap. As soon as she did, the smaller girl began flailing violently, pummeling her fists into Lauren’s chest.“Hey, hey, shhh,” Lauren said softly, hugging Camila against her chest and ignoring the punches that were being thrown at her. Moments later, a gasp was emitted from the younger girl’s mouth and her body stilled. Realizing where she was, Camila burst into tears and buried her head in Lauren’s neck.“Please…” Camila’s small voice cracked. “Please,” she shook her head and clung to the material of Lauren’s shirt.“I’ve got you, Camz,” Lauren whispered, stroking the smaller girl’s hair. “I’ll keep you safe.”“Promise?” Camila looked up at Lauren, who reached out and wiped her eyes with the pad of her thumbs before locking their pinkies together.“Promise.”Camila sighed heavily and laid her head on Lauren’s shoulder. The older girl shivered at the feeling of Camila’s warm breath against her neck, giving her goosebumps.“Sing?” Camila whispered, looking up at Lauren with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.“I remember tears streaming down your face when I said “I’ll never let you go”When all those shadows almost killed your lightI remember you said “don’t leave me here alone”But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonightJust close your eyes, the sun is going downYou’ll be alright, no one can hurt you nowCome morning light, you and I’ll be safe and sound.Don’t you dare look out your window, darling everything’s on fireThe war outside our door keeps raging onHold onto this lullaby even when the music’s gone, goneJust close your eyes, the sun is going downYou’ll be alright, no one can hurt you nowCome morning light, you and I’ll be safe and soundJust close your eyes, you’ll be alrightCome morning light, you and I’ll be safe and s-,“
