The next day, you start writing a new song. You have no idea where the thought came from but here you are. Lauren is sat with you as an order from Simon. Neither of you are complaining. Lauren's been kinda quiet.
"Are you okay?" You ask.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm okay. Dont worry." Lauren says.
"You'd tell me if you weren't wouldn't you?"
"Of course i would." Lauren says.
You smile. She smiles. She pulls a chair next to you and looks at the song.
"What's it called?" Lauren asks.
"I'm planning on..... uh...."
You groan and bang your head on the table.
"Hey hey dont go doing that."
You rip the page from your book and throw it in the bin.
"I hate this. I cant come up with one good song. It's pissing me off."
Callie knocks on the door.
"Yeah."
She walks in with a few sandwiches. One for you and one for Lauren.
"Tablets."
You groan. You stand up and sit on the comfy chair. You take your tablets and eat your food.
After a while, you give up and slump back into your chair.
"Hey, you dont have to come up with songs all the time. You are allowed a break." Lauren says.
"I like creating songs though."
"I do too but it's not always easy. You coming up with those songs was beginners luck. Every new singer gets it." Lauren says.
You nod.
"Just relax for a bit."
A few weeks pass and you two have hit the first fight. Which resulted in Lauren storming out and going home while you punched a wall a few times and sat down with your head in your hands.
Lauren gets back to the girls shared home thing and sits on the sofa.
"Fucking stupid." She mutters.
Ally pokes her head out from the kitchen.
"Lauren?"
"Yeah."
"What's up?" Ally asks.
"Me and Y/n had a disagreement. Which led to shouting. So i left because i refuse to stand there and get shouted at for something that wasn't even my fault." Lauren says.
"So you should. She'll come to her senses soon. Dont worry." Ally says.
Lauren nods.
You sit at the desk in your room and stare at the blank paper. Then you decide to call Camila.
(Camila bold. You italics.)
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What's up?" She asks.
"You down to make another song?"
"Yeah. I'd be down. But.."
"But what?"
"You and Lauren need to talk."
"Why? She started the fight. I made one comment and she got defensive about it. It wasn't even offensive. She took it the wrong way." You say.
"Thats not what we've been told."
"Okay then, what have you been told? 'Y/n and me got into a fight. She started it with a really offensive remark that pissed me off'?"
Silence.
"Had a feeling. Lemme know when you wanna start with this song. I'll wait."
You end the call and roll your eyes. You sit on the gaming chair and play your playstation.
A few weeks pass and someone knocks om your door.
"Y/n?" Bobby asks.
"Yeah?"
"Someone's here to see you."
"Who is it?" You ask.
Silence.
"It's Camila."
You turn off your playstation and open the door. It's Lauren.
"What?" You ask.
"Can we talk?" Lauren asks.
"I dont know. I'm kinda busy."
"Doin what?"
"Tryna write the song." You say.
"Please. Y/n this will be quick." Lauren says.
You nod and step aside to let her in.
Sorry for that wait. Hope yous all had a great Christmas and i hope new years is good too you.
