Camila Cabello hadn't planned this, to step foot in an entirely new world -- a covert organization known as the Elite; a safe haven for civilians and agents alike -- and to leave her parents behind in a mountain of rubble; their unmarked graves.

Her reason for staying was simple.

It was Lauren.

It was always Lauren.
