Look into the Mirror (Camren)

Chapter IX

The boys have just finished setting up the two tents. It was almost dark when we were gathered around the campfire, catching up with each other's lives and telling random stories. I was sitting there, roasting some marshmallows as I listen to Ally's story about how Troy proposed to her. I have always knew they would last.

"So, I was eating my cupcake when I bit onto something hard." Ally chuckled, "I was confused and pulled it out. I was surprised when I saw that it was a ring. I looked at Troy as he dropped on one knee then took my hand. I started crying and oh my God, you don't understand how happy I am."

"Really? If that was me I would've swallowed the ring, thinking it's just candy." Dinah laughed.

"Yeah. I was so worried that she'll swallow the ring. It could've killed her and I'll probably die too if that happened because I can't live without her." Troy looked at Ally then smiled at her. Ally smiled back and kissed him.

"You two are so cute!" Normani whined. "I'll probably end up living with 20 cats."

"Dinah likes you, you oblivious mother trucker." Ariana rolled her eyes. Dinah shot her a look which made her laugh nervously. "Just kidding."

"Yeah. Dinah likes you, Normani. She always talk about your abs and she always forces me to listen to her everytime she does." I smirked at Dinah, earning a death glare from her.

"Really?" Normani looked at Dinah, smiling at her amusedly.

"W-well uhm.." Dinah stuttered.

"Aww you're blushing." Lisa teased Dinah. We all laughed at Dinah as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah. Ha ha ha." She mocked. "I'm gonna kill you all later while you sleep."

"Enough with the gooey stupid love stories. It makes me puke." Luke scrunched up his nose then shook his head. "I have a little song for y'all. I hope you like it."

Luke stood up then grabbed a guitar. He swent back to his seat then cleared his throat as he strum on the guitar.

"Lets gather around the campfire
And sing our campfire song" Luke sang. "Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-"

"For fucks sake Lucas, we're not 8 year olds." Wesley said in an annoyed tone. Luke stopped then frowned as he put the guitar down. "Let's tell horror stories!"

"Ooh, I have one!" Harry raised his hand then cleared his throat. "My mothe-"

"I'm out." I said as I stood up and enter the tent. I heard Dinah call out "loser" before I put my headphones on and lay down.

I woke up in the middle of the night. It was really hot. My shirt was sticking on my back because of the sweat. I looked at the girls and they were asleep. They aren't even sweaty. Heck, they were even tucked in their blanket like this is the coldest night they have experienced. I looked around and I noticed that someone had removed my headphones so they were placed beside me, along with my phone that's turned off. I always turn my phone off when we go on camping to save the battery so I could use it if I wanna listen to music later. Someone also put a pillow under my head and tucked me in a blanket. I didn't know who's blanket it is because I have never saw if before but I think it's either Ariana's or Lisa's.

I had the sudden urge to get out of the tent and just chill outside but I don't want to because I'm coward af. Who knew what could be out there? We're in the middle nowhere filled with trees and it's really scary. I imagined that when I get out, a random crazy assed killer will jump out and attack me using a chainsaw or a monster that'll eat me alive.

I sighed and sat up. The heat is really going to kill me. I unzip the tent a little to allow some air to enter the tent but guess what? It became even hotter. I didn't even know that was possible. I'm really scared to go out, but something tells me that it's okay, and I won't get hurt.

×××××

I am currently sitting outside the tent. I don't even know how I convinced myself to get out but so far, I'm still alive. I signed in content as I feel refreshed by the cold breeze. It wasn't hot anymore. It's really cold now. I looked at my left when I saw someone walk in from the corner of my eye. That someone wasn't looking at me, though. She was busy gathering branches and sticks on the grass. I wanted to run inside the tent and wake everybody up but I couldn't move. I just watched her pick up some brances on the grass until she looked at me. She looked like I startled her. We stared at each other for a while until she decided to drop everything and run away. Of course, being the stupid person I was, I ran after her. I don't know if my mind was only playing tricks on me but my heart was telling me it was her. I know that sounds crazy because, hearts lie sometimes but this feeling, it was different.

I just didn't care. I don't wanna lose Lauren again.

A/N: Bet ya didn't see that coming. Y'all better prepare for more plot twists tho
