A New Start: Fifth Harmony

Chapter 11

CAMILA'S POV

        Soon there after Normani, Dinah, and Ally come back into the room with 5 movie options and pillows, blankets, and snacks.

        "Okay guys, what movie?" Ally asks.

        "Im picking" Dinah quickly says which

       She jumps up and quickly puts on Camp Rock and goes back to her seat snuggling up with Ally. Those too are so funny when they cuddle up because Dinah is so much taller than Ally so it looks like a mother and a child.

        I am on one side with Callie laying right next to me and my arm around her making sure I have constant contact. Normani and Lauren are sitting next to each other both on their phones texting people and tumblr.

        As the movie plays Dinah and Ally belt out the songs and Normani hums along more focused on her phone. Lauren is texting me throughout the movie and I am too nervous about Callie to sing. Callie is laying on her side with her back to me staring at the wall.

TEXT CONVO

C: Is she still staring?

L: yup. and Im staring at her and she doesn't seem to notice or be bothered by it.

C: What are we gonna doooooooo. Im so scared for her. 

L: I dont know camz. I love her so much already. We need to just give her time and we need to find one more person that will be able to hold her when you cant.

C: Yea. I'm gonna say that I have to go to the bathroom and see what happend.

----------------------

        "Callie?" I whisper into her ear. She doesnt even respond or make a note that I was talking to her but I know she heard.

        "I need to go to the bathroom and then facetime my little sister.  I'm gonna pick you up and give you to your mom because thats what I assume you would rather hold you." I tell her. Again with no response I pick her up and carry her over to Lauren.

        I gently place her on her mothers lap but continue to hold her hand to see if she will freak out. I slowly let go. She tensly sits on Laurens lap but continues to stare at the wall.

        With that I walk out of the room and to the bathroom. Im probably going to go back to my bunk to stay close to the door just in case she needs me.

CALLIE'S POV

        I can hear everything thats going on.  I am terrified of whats going on in my mind but determined not to talk. I know it sounds stupid but it makes sense to me. When Camila lifted my up to bring me to my mother I was pretty nervous. I didnt want to freak out but it was just an instinct. So to not feak out I am going to put myself in numbness.

        If I talk that lady will make me regret it. I dont want to hurt any of the girls so I am just not gonna talk. Sounds like a plan.

LAUREN's POV

        She is slowly relaxing into my grip but not at fast as I would have liked. I really love her and she doesnt seem to realize that.

        "Hey babe." I say into her ear.

        She makes a slight motion but continues to stare at the wall. I sigh in defeat.

        "Im gonna pick you up and carry you to the front area of the bus ok? I wanna talk with you." I say.

        She turns around on my lap resting her head on my shoulder to make it easier to pick her up. Walking out of the room I open Mila's bed curtain to tell her to come with us. I am gonna need her there just in case something happens to Callie.

        Camila quickly hops out of her bunk and sits across from Callie and I at the table.

        "Cal? Im gonna need you to either sit by yourself next to me or Camila, or turn so you are facing Camila" I say to her. She doesnt move and just stays with her head resting on my shoulder.

        As much as I love her cuddled up to me, we really need to talk to her. Fighting against her somewhat I turn her around on my lap so shes facing Camila but she looks at the ground. 

        "As you know Callie, our job is very time demanding. Much more time than we would sometimes like. Today in about 2 hours we have to go and do a meet and greet and then preform after." I say and her face drops. "I know this is a hard time right now and we would love to stay with you but we cant for the time that we are on stage." I continue.

        Camila lifts up Callie's chin so they are making eye contact. "I know its hard sometimes but we really need your help.  We arent going to force you to talk if you arent ready but we need to have some communication." She said. "just common yes, no, shake of the head and when you are ready, you talk." She finished

        "Deal girly?" Camila asks

        Callie nods and I sigh of relief.

        "For the meet and greet we can have you either sitting behind the curtain so no one will see you or have you sitting off to the sides but fans could see you." I ask. She shruggs.

        "Okay we are going to practice right now. So Lauren is gonig to take you off her lap and place you next to her. We arent going anywhere. Trust us" Camila says and I nod starting to gently place her on the  couch next to me. 

        Her eyes shot open in fear and her mouth opens as she would say something but nothing comes out. She starts to breath really heavy and grips on to my hand tight.        

        "Shhhh Shhh baby its okay, we are right here." I say holding her one hand. It's so hard not to comfort her and hug her tight but I know this is for the best to make it easier for her when we have the meet and greet.        

        Camila sits on the table leaning up against the side of the bus close to Callie.

        "Its gonna be alright Callie" She says with her soothing voice.

        Callie just sits there and nods and I start to loosen my hand from her grip until she isnt touching one of us.

        "Good job sweets. You know that we dont always have to be like this but when we are at interviews, meet and greets, and shows we sadly cant always be besides you. No matter what though, you will always see one of us in eyesight." I say giving her a light kiss on the head

        She nods and starts to relax leaning into my side which I gladly accept putting my arm around her.
