Invisible.A Fifth Harmony fanfiction.

Chapter 21

What if she falls? "CAN'T YOU GET HER DOWN?" I yell at Mark, who looks lost. "W-we-" "Can't you climb up and get her? Come on you have to be able to do something!" I yelled at the three instructors as I hear Charlotte scream. I turn to see that her other hand's slipped. "HOLD ON CHARLOTTE PLEASE!" I beg, I no one's doing anything, they're just watching expressionless. "Someone do something!" I yell at them, but they just stand still, watching as Charlotte struggle's to hang on.

"LAUREN I'M SLIPPING!" Charlotte yells. I look up. She isn't attatched to anything? There's no harness? What!?

"Please just try and hold on baby girl!" I shout up. "I-I can't! I'm sorry!" She yells back, and before I can reply, she's lost grip in the other hand and she's falling.

Lauren sat up clutching her chest that was heaving up and down. She immediately looked to her left to see Charlotte asleep peacefully. She sighed in relief and got out of he crowded bed before going into Charlotte's bathroom to splash cold water on her sweaty face.

"You okay Lolo?" Camila asked tiredly. Lauren looked through the mirror to see Camila stood in the doorway, her hair was messy and her hands were wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "Yeah Camz, I just had a bad dream..." She sighed, turning off the tap before drying her face on a towel.

"Was it about Charlotte? I had one to, she -" "fell" they both said in unison. "Yeah..." Lauren nodded, leaning onto the sink. "It was awful. I'm surprised I didn't cry out." Camila nodded. "I heard you whimpering, I was already up, I have been for about ten minutes." Camila stated. Lauren smiled weakly at her. "I'm so banning her from climbing." Camila giggled quietly. "I second that. C'mere?" She asked, opening her arms for Lauren to walk into, which she happily did, immediately enjoying Camila's warmth. "She's not leaving us anytime soon..." Camila mumbled soothingly. Lauren nodded and wrapped her arms around Camila's waist.

"Why are you two up?" Charlotte's tired voice sounded behind them. The two older girls let go of one another and looked to face Charlotte, whose hair was also messy. "We could ask you the same thing." Lauren smiled, opening her arms for Charlotte to come into, which she quickly did. Considering she was 13, she was very small, she was a little taller than Ally, but she could easily be thought of as maybe 10-11, especially when she wore big clothing. Lauren rubbed her back lightly and Camila smiled at the sight. "I woke up and you weren't there..." Charlotte spoke softly, "I didn't know Mila was gone too because Dinah was in the way." Lauren and Camila smiled at one another. "Well, let's get back to bed." Camila spoke up. Charlotte nodded and went back to bed, Camila and Lauren followed behind.

*************************************************************************

"Where are the girls?" Charlotte asked Mike and Clara as she walked into the kitchen the following morning. Waking up alone wasn't one of her favourite things, even if one of the girls woke her, it was better to be woken up that way than completely alone.

"They had another radio interview." Mike smile sadly. Charlotte nodded understandingly. She suspected everything to start getting busier now. They just released another single, and their album was due in the new year, so they were bound to be whisked off to do interviews and promote their uncoming album.

"You okay?" Clara asked, clearly worried about Charlotte's lack of words. "Yeah." She nodded quietly, "my arms and legs hurt though." She cleared her throat slightly, before sitting on a stall. Mike and Clara smiled at her and went back to reading whatever article they were reading. "I'm not surprised. You did put them to the test yesterday." Clara chuckled as she watched Charlotte get up and get some cereal. "Can I watch that video of me?" She asked Mike as she climbed up onto the counter to reach the lucky charms. Mike nodded, "sure, eat breakfast first then I'll show you." Charlotte jumped off the counter and made her cereal, before joining Clara and Mike at the island to eat it.

"Woah..." Was all she could say after the video had finished. Mike locked his phone and nodded, "I can see why Lauren refuses to let me go rock climbing again." She chuckled a little, as she put her dishes in the sink. "Well, you scared all of us." Clara scolded lightly, "I really don't want my first Grand child to die because she got a little stubborn and wanted to touch the ceiling of a gym." Charlotte smirked, "It was fun, I'd recommend it. Maybe not it the same way I did it, but touching the ceiling makes you almost feel invinsible." "Well, to gravity your not." Mike laughed, putting his coffee cup in the sink also. "Hey, where's Chris and Taylor?"

"Asleep still, it's only 10, it's way to early for them on the weekends." Clara rolled her eyes.

"I don't feel like going to the beach. It's to cold." Charlotte spoke up as she looked outside to see the sky was a gloomy grey colour. "Maybe we could eat out tonight instead?" Clara spoke up. Charlotte nodded. "That sounds good, when do you guys leave?"

"Tomorrow, around this time." Mike said sadly. "But hey, it'll be Christmas soon, I expect you to be coming home with Lauren." He tapped Charlotte's nose with his pointer finger. Charlotte shrugged. Christmas wasn't a huge deal at the orphanage, she almost wanted to go spend Christmas there again, letting Lauren spend alone time with her family over the popular holiday. Clara was about to ask about her silence, but Chris and Taylor interrupted. "Oh, you two are alive." She joked, making Taylor and Chris groan as they sat on a stool. Charlotte used this time to slip out into the garden and go into her treehouse.

She pulled herself into the small wooden den and shut the door behind her. It was cold in here, but bearable, as she pulled out her sketch pad and began drawing, this time, she didn't draw some dark image, in fact she drew a simple mountain landscape.

She had only just finished the outline of it when sone one knocked on the small door. "Hey little lady." Normani greeted, "Hey Mani bear." Charlotte smiled, looking up from her work briefly before drawing again. "Anything good?" Normani moved herself next to her, watching as the landscape slowly formed.

"How was your interview?" Charlotte asked. "It was good. We didn't want to wake you up, you looked really peaceful." she sighed. "Can you wake me? I like seeing one of you when I get up." Charlotte admitted shyly. "Course little lady." Normani kissed the top of her head.

"Can you come into the house? We're going to have a game day before dinner tonight."

Charlotte nodded, even though she wasn't the one for games, she knew that she could get some quality cuddling time from the girls, so she placed down her pad and pencil before following Normani down and into the house.

She wasn't wrong about cuddling, she was currently sat on Ally's lap, watching everyone yell guesses at Lauren as they played charades.

"JAWS!" Camila yelled, jumping up and down on the chair. "YES FINALLY!" Lauren yelled exasperatedly, as she flopped down next to Ally before trying to take Charlotte off her lap.

"Nu-uh." Ally swatted her hand of Charlotte. "I want cuddle times." She smiled, pulling Charlotte closer to her if possible. "That's not fair." Lauren pouted. Charlotte was to invested in watching Dinah scream at Camila. "CHEECHEE I DON'T KNOW BE MORE OBVIOUS!"
"She's my daughter."

"Exactly, so you'll get plenty of cuddles, so I'm not letting her go." Ally stated.

After a few more minutes, Ally got it. "Fault in our stars!" She yelled. Camila nodded and hugged Ally, before flopping onto Dinah. The moment Charlotte was off of Ally's lap, she was pulled onto Lauren's.

"She's not stealing you." Lauren smirked, kissing Charlotte's temple, "you okay baby?" Charlotte nodded, "Just sore is all..." She hummed, before resting her head in the crook of Lauren's neck. "You tired baby girl?" Charlotte nodded again, "go to sleep then, I'll wake you when we need to get ready to go out." Lauren whispered. Charlotte yawned and Lauren secured her arms around her, one hand drew patterns on her arm as the other played with her hair, making her drift off to sleep.

(A/N really bad I know, but I wanted to update! The next chapter will be longer and hopefully better. But I was wondering if I should add anyone? Obviously Lauren's family will be leaving, so who should come in? Also should I get any ships? Like Camren or something? Don't forget to vote and comment!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
