The Wake Up Calls (Camren)

Chapter 15-

Dinah-

I placed Camila down in her bunk, pulling the blankets over her body. She quickly snuggled into the warmth of her pillow.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" A loud voice startled me from behind making me lunge upwards banging my head on the above bunk.
"Ouch!" Rubbing the top of my head I recognized the voice. I turned to face her. "Be quiet! Mila's really tired." I shooshed her motioning to the sleeping brunette under the covers.
"Why should I be quiet! I'm tired, tired from a certain member in this group not making an effort. She missed rehearsals AGAIN. Now you too? What the hell has gotten into her?" She was really angry. I have only ever seen her this angry once since I've known her.
"Woah calm down Lauren."
I heard ally's curtain slide back as she climed out of her bunk.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" Lauren spun around to Ally behind her.
"Can we not do this now?" Ally asked shyly.

"You know what? Fine. I'm done with this, I'm done with all of the crap. If you want to pretend that we're all fine, go ahead." Her voice snapped at me. "But I'm sure as hell not going to."

Over the next few weeks Lauren and Camila grew further and further apart. Each avoiding each other during breakfast and really anytime the whole of Fifth Harmony were together.
Tonight was the first night that we had all sat in a room together for a meal. We all sat around the table at the restaurant, our knives and forks clashing against the small Chinese bowls. Except for Camila who opted for the chopsticks. Of course.
Silence circled the table.
"So guys...you excited for the next leg of this tour?" Normani tried to break the silence but was returned with nothing but silence. I caught her eye giving her a sympathetic smile.
She looked back down to her food, but only minutes later she pushed her bowl into the center of the table and looked around the table.
Mila had barely eaten a thing, pushing the thin pieces of rice around the bowl.
Normani noticed this and gave her a weird look but chose not to say anything to her.
"Come on guys. What's going on with us?"
No one answered.
I looked up at Camila who was still pushing her food around.
Ally cleared her throat and piped up next to Lauren.
"How's everyone's food?"
"Good." Lauren said.
Normani and Camila both murmured a "yeah".
"Camila how would you know. You haven't touched a bit of food in days." Lauren slammed her fork on the table. I think she slammed it a little harder than she meant to because the sound made everyone on the tables nearest to ours as well as the 4 of us jump.
"Chill Lauren." Mani placed a hand on Lauren's arm trying her best to calm her down.
Lauren shook her head, "Whatever." She looked back down to her plate.
"You know what guys I'm not that hungry. I'm gonna go back to the bus." Camila stood up from the table placing two notes of money in the middle of the table.
I could hear a stifled laugh from the other side of the table.
"Oh okay well I'll come with you then." I stood up reaching from my phone and wallet in front of me.
"No. no it's okay. Hailee is coming to pick me up."
"Are you sure? I mean I can come with you? Just until she gets here?"
"Dinah I'm fine." She began to walk away from the table but turned around before she was out of my view. She gave me a smile before mouthing the words 'thank you'.
I always tried to not be hurt by her tone of voice, sometimes it's hard. But I know she doesn't mean it she's just...well I don't really know anymore. I used to be able to tell what she was feeling all the time but now it's different. Now I can't tell whether she wants to fight this thing...or let it overcome her.
I want to help her as much as I can but, sometimes it's really hard to do that when all she does is shut everyone out. Shut me out. I'm one of the only people who know about this and she won't even talk to me about it. Ally said the same thing when I talked to her about it. She said that "Camila will come to us when she really needs us."
But I'm her best friend. Shouldn't she need me all the time?
