"Đó là tôi! Đó là Lauren!"bằng giọng nói cô gái cũ lớn chất như cô lắc Camila của bàn tay, cố gắng để làm cho nó vào đầu của cô rằng cô sẽ không làm tổn thương cô ấy. Camila ở đông lạnh, đôi mắt của cô rộng."Tôi sẽ không làm tổn thương bạn," giọng của cô phát triển calmer, đôi mắt cô ấy cầu xin vào cô gái nhỏ. Camila của đôi mắt làm mềm và cô nới lỏng cánh tay của cô, cho phép Lauren để di chuyển gần hơn với cô."Camila, nhìn tôi," Lauren đưa hai bàn tay lên để tách má cô gái nhỏ, nâng đầu cô đáp ứng mắt. "Em đã an toàn. Chúng tôi nhà. Không ai sẽ làm hại bạn."Camila stared lúc cô blankly, mà làm cho trái tim của Lauren thả."Hãy nói điều gì đó," thì thầm Lauren, lắc đầu của cô và nhìn vào đôi mắt của cô gái, cầu xin cô nói với cô ấy rằng điều này là tất cả chỉ là một số loại đùa. Khi sự im lặng bao bọc chúng một lần nữa, mặc dù, phải mất tất cả mọi thứ trong Lauren chiến đấu mới tròn của nước mắt bị đe dọa đến tràn."Được rồi," Lauren mất một hơi thở sâu, ép mắt đóng và ép buộc mình phải suy nghĩ về điều này hợp lý. "Chúng ta hãy chỉ cần... chỉ cần đi nói dối bạn cho một chút," lặng lẽ, cô nói. Khi Camila không phản đối, Lauren nắm lấy tay cô và dẫn cô vào phòng ngủ."Chỉ cần cố gắng và bình tĩnh một chút, được chứ?" Lauren hỏi nhẹ nhàng, làm cho Camila ngồi xuống cạnh giường. "Tôi sẽ làm cho bạn một cái gì đó để ăn. Tôi sẽ chỉ vào bếp." Khi Camila gật đầu nhẹ nhàng, Lauren đã cho cô ấy một nụ cười thông cảm và trượt ra khỏi phòng.Moments later, though, she heard rushed footsteps behind her. When she turned back around, Camila was right behind her, looking up at her nervously.“Camila, go lay down,” Lauren nodded towards the bedroom. The smaller girl just glanced at the door before turning back to Lauren.

She heard soft footsteps behind her once more, turning around to Camila a few steps closer to her.The smaller girl’s eyes met Lauren’s pleadingly. At this point Lauren gave in, closing the refrigerator and turning around. She bit her lip, slowly holding out her arms. Camila’s eyes flickered between Lauren’s arms and her eyes before she hesitantly moved forward, allowing Lauren to wrap her arms around her.Lauren held Camila close against her chest, stroking her hair to try and calm her down. It was at this point that she felt how much the smaller girl was shaking.“C'mon,” Lauren sighed, attempting to take Camila’s hand and lead her into the living room. Camila stayed glued to Lauren’s side, though, so the older girl wrapped an arm around her waist and led her slowly to the couch they’d just gotten a week before.Lauren sat down, waiting for Camila to do the same.
