Meant To Be, Please Don't Go

Chapter 3: The Spark

Camila's POV
I've never been happier. Today I woke up and the first thing on my mind, except for food of course, was that I am so lucky to be touring with the one and only Demi Lovato and my girls. I honestly thank god every day for pairing me with them, I don't think it would feel this amazing if I was a solo artist. I start rolling out of bed when all of a sudden I realize .. ITS MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY! How could I forget? Omg tour life really does get to you! I made my way to the bathroom when three of the four girls literally attacked me and screamed happy birthday at the top of their lungs. Dinah was holding a cupcake with a 1 candle on it and Normani was holding another cupcake with a 7 on it. Of course Ally was there just being her cute, energetic self. I couldn't help but cheese because in that moment I realized I meant as much to them as they meant to me. After a long chit chat I finally showered and changed to start the day. As I put on my beats and started jamming, a Lana Del Rey song came on and I realized Lolo wasn't around.
"Dinah where's Lauren? I haven't seen her all morning" I shouted.
"Uh I don't know, she went somewhere obviously but she didn't tell me" Dinah shrugged and walked to her bunk.
I checked my phone.. No texts from Lauren. That's strange she usually lets me know when she's going somewhere and she would be the first one to say happy birthday to me. Instantly I felt down, did Lauren forget my birthday? I decided to go on her Instagram to see if she made the typical happy birthday post that every best friend makes and nothing! But I realized something -- pictures of her and Luis all over her page. Were they official now? I mean we all knew they had a thing but Lauren said it would never be anything since she's never home and our schedules are so hectic. Wait what?! Prom?? My blood started to boil. What's wrong with me? I should be happy, obviously she looks very happy in these pictures. I locked my phone and went back to my music. Even though my beats were blasting and pandora was on point today I couldn't stop feeling what I was feeling until I decided to admit it to myself.
"Camila Cabello you are jealous of Luis" I said to myself in my head. Where is she?

Lauren's POV
I woke up to realize it was Camz birthday! Wow already 17? That little squirt. I was going to go wake her up but once I laid eyes on her peaceful face I remembered how late we both went to sleep last night. I decided to let her rest since we rarely get days like these, no glam just straight afternoon Twitter Q&A. I was brainstorming on what to do when she finally decided to wake up. "YES PERFECT!" I yelled. I covered my mouth immediately when I remembered everyone else was sleeping and giggled. I went to our tour manager and bus driver and put them on to my little surprise for Camz and they agreed to drop me off so I can buy certain necessary things. After a quick bath, I heard my phone go off. Luis. My boyfriend. I can't believe I still haven't told anyone that we decided to make it official after his prom. It wasn't my choice, he asked me and I just couldn't say no. Luis treats me very well but I'm still skeptical about long distance relationships. I wonder how the girls would react but that'll have to wait until after today. Today was all about my Camz. After doing some quick shopping, I called our tour manager to let him know I will be meeting up with the girls at the hotel and there was no need to stop and pick me up. 5 texts? Wow from who?

iMessage from Camz <33:
Camz <33- Lauren where are youuu?
Camz <33- It's 9 in the morning where did you possibly have to go?
Camz <33- miss you already :(!
Camz <33- and your breakfast lol
Camz <33- we need to talk .

That last text scared me a little. Everyone knows when someone tells you " we need to talk " it's usually not anything good. I made my way to the hotel and was so excited to surprise Camila, she probably thought I forgot her birthday but how could I? She's the most important person in my life.

Camila's POV
"Finally a real, big bed! I said while throwing myself on the hotel mattress. It's crazy how touring can make you miss the smallest things like being able to take a 30 minute long bubble bath. I still couldn't get that picture out of my head, the way his arms were wrapped around her hips and the expression on her face -- is she falling for him? My thoughts were disrupted by someone singing Happy birthday to me and slamming the hotel room door. It was that husky voice. Lauren. I rapidly turned around to see her holding a huge birthday cake, balloons, roses and of course some bananas. I started laughing once I saw the bananas but tears were rolling down my face. Lauren didn't forget my birthday she was just fooling me like she usually does! While she was singing I totally zoned her out, my eyes locked with hers and I lost myself in them. Lauren makes me so happy. She's always there for me and makes me feel so special. I love her. "Camila! Blow the damn candles!" the husky voice interrupted my thoughts and I did as I was told.
"I wish I find my Prince Charming and that the group just keeps progressing" I thought to myself. Lauren cheered once I blew the candles, put the cake down and put her arms around me
"Happy birthday Camz. Love you" she whispered in my ear. Chills ran down my entire body,
"Thank you beautiful.. I love you too" I smiled. We sat down and started eating away when the image returned.
"Lauren are you dating Luis now? Since when do you like going to proms? I thought you found those type of things cheesy." I started questioning her and didn't realize how angry I sounded. She opened her mouth to answer my questions but I didn't give her a chance.
"You barely post pictures with me... Or anybody else but I sure see you have no problem posting such cute, romantic pics with Luis".
