What were these two women doing?
Suddenly, Camila’s phone began to vibrate with an incoming call.
Camila tapped Laura on the arm and said, “Your phone is ringing.. Laura waved her hand dismissively and retorted, “No, it’s your phone.” “Mine?” Camila queried before reaching out to retrieve her phone. Taking it out of her pocket, she glanced at the screen and confirmed that it was indeed her phone ringing.
She answered the call and greeted the person on the other end, “Hello…”
“Is Laura there with you? I can’t seem to reach her,” the voice on the other end queried.

Without waiting for Forrest’s reply, Camila continued, “Hey, Forrest.
How could you do what you did to Laura?”
Forrest sounded crestfallen and responded in a subdued tone, “Where is she?”
“I don’t know,” Camila stated flatly. But just as she was about to hang up the phone, Forrest implored, “Mila, I know you know where she is. Please don’t act impulsively. There’s something I need to tell her.”
Camila turned to look at Laura, who was even more intoxicated than she was and appeared to be on the brink of unconsciousness.
Camila gazed up at Jaylen, her eyes bleary with drunkenness, and inquired, “Where are we?”
Jaylen took hold of her phone and replied, “Letinform him.”
Camila acquiesced.

Thirty minutes later, Forrest arrived.
Upon seeing the two insensible women, he wasn’t taken aback since he had guessed that they were drinking when he was speaking to Camila on the phone.
He held Laura tenderly and pondered how to deal with Camila. Jaylen offered, “I’ll take her home.”
Forrest scrutinized Jaylen, indicating that he didn’t trust him. Jaylen explained, “I brought them here. I’m Camila’s friend. I won’t harm her. She just operated on my mother and saved her. I would never repay such kindness with ingratitude.”
Forrest nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Jaylen replied, “Don’t mention it. Camila’s a good friend of mine.” After Forrest departed, Jaylen lingered in the room for a while before making his way to Camila’s side. He shook her gently and said, “Camila.”
Camila squinted her eyes.
