Unrequited

Ally

I was surrounded by idiots. Idiots here, idiots there idiots everywhere. I was surrounded by idiots in love and Lauren and Normani where at the center of it all. The eye of the hurricane if you may.

Everyone was in love with each other and I seemed to be the only one that noticed. Talk about awkward.

Normani was in love with Lauren. Dinah feelings seemed to be centered around the two. Camila had an obsession with Lauren. And Lauren seemed to revolve around Normani.

At first I was going to let those idiots figure it out but wow were they slow. I really didn't want to interfere as I had enough problems of my own trying to keep up with my new demanding lifestyle and the troubles it bought.

But fate seemed to have different ideas forcing me into the role of cupid.

First came Normani, after months of pining and stewing in jealousy she came to me for help.

I sat there and let the words flow from her. She confessed how she had fallen in love with Lauren, not knowing when and how. She confessed how the feelings was suffocating her inside.

I let her vent then helped her see reason. I helped her realize that Lauren could barely function around her. I helped her notice all the less than subtle ways that Lauren tried to show her that she cared. I encouraged her to tell Lauren how she felt Normani was silent for a moment then thanked me and left.

I wasn't sure if you would so I kept a close eye on the two of you. I watched how you gravitated to each other. I watched the slow smiles, the gentle touches and the electric love between you two.

But in watching the two of you I began to notice that someone else was watching as well. I watched Dinah as she watched you and Lauren. I noticed the twinkle in her eyes the blush on her cheeks and love in her eyes grow.

So during our monthly game of truth or dare I decided to test out a theory.
When it came for my turn to dare Dinah, I of course was ready. I dared her to kiss Lauren.

Lauren being the dominant that she was pulled Dinah in and kissed her like your lives depended on it. It was then that I noticed Camila. Seriously what kind of love triangle, or square was this. Y'all have some seriously bad luck. I watched the jealousy burn in Camila's eyes but it was too late to back down now so I dared Normani to give Lauren a lap dance.

Seriously if I knew that y'all had already confessed your feelings and made it official I never would have. Because no matter how hot that was I seriously could have done without watching my two friends practically have sex in front of me. And I really could have done without a actually hearing you two have sex. For Christ's sake Normani what was Lauren doing to you to have you screaming like that. You know what I'm not going to think about that cause I don't want to know.

After the two of you secluded yourselves in your love caccoon I watched our remaining to members. Dinah was squirming in her seat looking everywhere but the two of us until finally she gave a quick excuse and rushed to her room. But Camila just glared at the closed door. Shit I thought.

Since I had already committed to my new job as Cupid I tried to think of how I could help Camila but the more that I analyzed it I realized that Camila would never get her dream ending with Lauren.

Lauren had latched on to Camila that's true but it was less to do with attraction and more to do with familiarity. Camila reminded her of home. Camila was cuban just like Lauren and they were both from Miami, so Lauren held onto Camila like a child held onto a security blanket. She loved her yes but like a friend, like a sister. But Camila wanted more and she would never get that, not from Lauren.

When Camila latched out at Normani I knew it was over. Lauren would never stand for that, she would never forget. Because although Normani forgave Camila the scares would always remain the hurt would always be there, Lauren knew this.

I watched the hurt in Camila when Lauren refused to try to build any friendship with her. It wasn't her fault she had gotten her first love and she didn't know how to deal with the heartbreak or jealousy.

She left before I could help heal the hurt, the pain. I hope Shawn helps her see what true love is. I hope his love will heal the wound that her first heartbreak and I hope in time that she will learn to love him as he does her. Hopefully one day they would be able to rekindle that friendship.

Now back to my cupid job. Me being my nosy self found Dinah's letter to Lauren and Normani and I just had to meddle it wasy job after all.

So I took the note and placed it in Lauren's bag hoping for the best from there. Hopefully my girls will get their happy ending. Fingers crossed.

Love your friendly neighborhood cupid,
Ally.
