Our Little Secret ➳ Camila Cabello

forty-one

Her green eyes glowed brighter once she completely entered the fluorescent lit bathroom. I was highly confused, "Why would you post that?"
"You need to see how talented you really are, and how amazing you sound. I'm tired of you putting yourself down and now there are over 3 million people who can agree." Lauren replied taking Ally's spot in the glam chair.
I was frustrated, "Look it was sweet okay? I can admit that, but you had no right. I don't want anyone to see it because I don't want the hate or the fans to say that I'm just around you all for the money or fame. I could care less about all that. I'd rather us all be little friends who lived in the suburbs and went to house parties every night, but they won't care. I wanted to make my own way without having you all help me. You do too much for me anyways. It's like I have 5 God damn mothers."
Ally walked by and smacked the back of my head, "I'm warning you, y/n. Say his name like that again and I'll send you right back to the hospital."
I rubbed the back of my head as I heard Camila groan, "I'm not a fucking mother. Let's get that straight right now."
"Stop your language now. AwesomenessTV is coming back to film in two minutes so chill out." Normani scolded us all. "Plus my Mom will be back in here and she hates when you all curse."
I walked into the dressing room, grabbed a bottle of water to take my pills, and sat on the couch across from Mani. "You do it too, though."
Normani smirked at me, "She doesn't need to know that." I hurried to swallow the pills down with some water before anyone bothered me about it. "I hate seeing you take that stuff."
"I hate having to do it, but if I don't it's like my side wants to split apart. Plus, my wrist is killing me." I replied taking in a chug of water.
A camera man walked in and so did a blonde lady that goes by the name of Rachel. She's the one who tells the girls to explain what's happening for the takeovers. "Mani, I was just looking for you." Her New York accent was deafening. She was definitely from Queens, but I've never asked to assure myself.
"Whatcha need?" Mani asked putting her phone down on the table.
"We need all the girls in the bathroom to practice their vocal exercises so we can get it on camera."
"But it's not even time to get ready for the show." Mani gave her a weird look.
"I know, but just do it for the cameras. Okay?" Rachel had a bitchy tone and Normani rolled her eyes before getting up and walking into the bathroom with the rest of the girls.

After about 10 minutes of annoying sounds from the girls, they ended the practice session and walked into the lounge area. Ally was told to sit by me and when she did, she draped her legs over mine. "Now, introduce the little lady, Alls." Rachel requested.
Ally put on her signature smile even though I could tell she was getting a little annoyed with Rachel already. "Hey you guys, so I want to introduce y'all to one of our best friends in the world, y/n." The camera turned to me and I waved awkwardly. "Now she's not only our friend that has just went viral only a while ago, but she's also a part of our technical crew. She's been behind the scenes with us ever since the X Factor."
"Too bad she'll probably leave us to create an album for herself soon." Camila whined before sitting in between Ally and I.
She sat on Ally's legs causing the small Latina to yelp out in pain. "Ow, Mila."
"Sorry." The tiny Cuban giggled. "So, is there anything you want to say to our fans, and be appropriate." She was warning me to follow the rules.
I smiled at the camera, "Buy Reflection on February third."
"Aw!" Every cooed before piling on me and making me cringe because of the pain. "Ow, get off. The love hurts." It wasn't the love that hurt. It was my bruises, stitches, and wounds.

Jeremy, one of the techies, came into the room in a distressed state. "Thank God, you're here y/n. Sorry girls, I shoulda knocked."
"It's cool, J-Romy. What's up?" Dinah asked seeing how nervous he was.
Jeremy could see that Rachel was in the room and didn't want to say anything on camera. "Can I see you outside, y/n?" He asked. I nodded and got up to walk outside the room and lean against the wall so he could talk to me. "Y/N, Josh got really sick and he was supposed to be running the soundboard for the night. Since you're the one that's most qualified, will you do it?" He begged me.
"Why can't you or those disrespectful little shits you call interns do it?" I hated the interns. They were cocky, and idiotic. They didn't know the difference between a light and a microphone.
He looked worried, "First of all, Nadine and Cameron can't do anything on the board because they'll fuck it up. And I'm spread way too thin already. I have to worry about the light board and make sure everything is completely secure for the cyclorama."
I gave him a deep sigh, "Fine, but Josh owes me a huge favor."
"I'll tell him that ASAP. But come on we need to patch mics again." He rushed me grabbing my left forearm.
