The two stayed like that for a long while. Charlotte was snuggled into Camila as the older girl traced her scars and whispered sweet-nothing's into her ear. Camila was so incredibly worried now about the younger girl. How were they meant to introduce her to fans and try and protect her from hate? They hadn't officially met her yet and still people sent hate, the hate was on a small scale but it was clear it would get larger when Charlotte was brought into light.

And if people saw her scars? All the things that she could possibly worry about were running through her head. She wanted to protect the young girl with everything she had. She had gotten hate and it made her doubt everything about herself, Charlotte was insecure as it was. The girls worried if she'd cope being in the public eye but now with her demons being worse than they expected, everything was now six times more complicated and complex.

Camila hadn't even noticed Charlotte had fallen asleep until she heard soft, adorable snores fall from the young girls mouth. She smiled to herself, enjoying how Charlotte was comfortable enough to fall asleep with her wrists fully exposed whilst sat on Camila's lap. Soon, the peace was broken by the bedroom door being opened to show a tired looking Lauren.

"She told you?" Lauren asked as she sat beside Camila. "No, Olivia told me, I asked her then she told me." Camila sighed. "you know this makes everything a little more complicated now right?"

"I know Camz." Lauren sighed as she moved her hand through her hair, moving it to one side. "I'm so worried about her it's rediculous."

Camila shook her head. "She's your daughter," The younger brunette smiled, "if you weren't worried I'd be concerned."

"I know, but this is just another fucking thing stopping her from being happy. It's not her fault, it's mine. If I hadn't of abandoned her those last weeks, she may of never gone back to the orphanage and go down this path." Lauren beat herself as she bit her lip lightly. "This is all my fault Camz." She whimpered. Camila immediately shook her head. "It's not Lolo, it's all our faults. We should of done something to. We broke our promise. Maybe you're right and it was beacause we did neglect her. But it wasn't just you Laur, it was all of us. But she's here now, we have her back and she's safe."

Charlotte stirred to find herself between Lauren and Camila. Her leg was draped over Camila's waist and her arms were some what holding the brown eyed teen like a teddy bear. To describe it best, she was almost doing a kaola hug on Camila, but they were laying down and she was on Camila's left side. Lauren was snuggled up behind Charlotte, spooning the younger girl in a way, with her arm protectively around Charlotte's and Camila's waist since they were all very close together.

Charlotte was to comfortable to try and get out of the grip. She she closed her eyes once more and focused on Camila's and Lauren's in sync breathing, making her relax even more into the close cuddle. She couldn't fall back to sleep though. Her mind was awake and all she could think about was the feeling of a blade cutting through her skin. It made her skin feel like there was something under neath it that was crawling to get out, the small voice in her head egging her on to do it, even though it would be impossible to do here at Camila's house, there was no harm in looking for something to harm with right?

with that thought in mind, she very carefully climbed off of the bed and left the room into the hallway. What could she possibly harm with?

"Char!" Olivia yelled as she ran out of Sofi's room.

"Hey girly!" Charlotte forced her smile slightly. "What are you going?" Olivia asked as she tugged on Charlotte's hand. "I was looking for the bathroom." Charlotte explianed. "I'LL SHOW YOU!" Olivia quickly tugged on her hand and pulled her to a door. "In there, wash your hands after!" Olivia smiled, before skipping back to Sofi's room. Charlotte went into the bathroom and locked it. She had a slight smile on her face from how content Olivia seemed, and also because she was finally alone.

Immediately she began rummaging through the cupboards. Looking for anything sharp. She wasn't sure why, but she began shaking and her stomach began to twist and gurgle, making her feel light headed and queazy.

••Lauren's POV••

Lauren stirred awake slowly, letting her eyes flutter open and adjust to the natural light in the room. She yawned and realised she had rolled over. She stretched and rolled to her right to see the Charlotte was no longer asleep beside her and Camila.

"Camz!" Lauren woke her bandmate. "Whaat?" She whined, attempting to snuggled up to Charlotte once again, but her eyes quickly flew open at the realisation that Charlotte was no longer beside her. "We've got to find her." Lauren jumped out off the bed and bolted towards the door, nearly knocking Olivia over but managing to pick her up. "That was fun!" Olivia beamed as she wiggled happily in Lauren's arms.

The emerald eyed girl smiled lightly. "Do you know where Charlotte is?" Lauren asked. Olivia nodded, "she went to the bathroom."

Lauren immediately began to think the worst. she was alone in a bathroom and probably triggered. Quickly placing Olivia down, Lauren ran over to the bathroom door and tried to open it, only finding that it was locked. "CHARLOTTE!" Lauren yelled, "Let me in!" Lauren tried opening the door again. She heard soft whimpers and gagging noises.

"Charlotte baby let us in!" Camila was now next to Lauren, trying the much calmer approach even though she was fearing the worst.

"What's going on?" Sofi asked in a confused tone, as Olivia hang onto her shirt. "Charlotte isn't well, can you go get Mami and Papi please?" Camila asked. Sofi nodded and went downstairs with Olivia at her side.

The two tried getting Charlotte to open until Alejandro and Sinu came upstairs. "What's happening Mija?" Sinu asked as she balanced Olivia on her hip. "She's looked herself in there and it's gone quiet." Lauren said shakily. "Alright, stand back." Alejandro said before he knocked open the door, revealing a very pale, shaky and vomiting Charlotte hunched over the toilet.

"Oh baby girl!" Lauren cried as Charlotte lifted her head, revealing tear filled eyes. Lauren Crawled over to her and placed the shaking girl in her lap. "I'm sorry..." Charlotte whimpered as she shook in Lauren's arms. "It's okay baby girl." Lauren cooed as she rubbed her daughters back and played with her raven hair.

"It's okay."
