2 Months Later

"Hey it's me Lauren, (AND CAMIIILA!) okay, Camila, relax. I just wanted to say we miss you, wish you were here! Hmmm, mwah!"

I smiled, sitting on a nearby bench listening to Lauren's voicemail. It was nice to hear of her smiling and being happy again, especially since Angelica passed away, and the thing with the Vamps..

The girls had been on tour for 2 and a half months now, it being April, and things were starting to get boring around the house. I picked up a part time job at Hollister in downtown L.A. and I was spending the rest of my time taking classes at UCLA for a while. I had met a few friends, people around my age that either hung out on campus or frequented the ice cream place near my job, and sometimes hung out with them, but other than that, I'd just mess around in the studio, make guest appearances, or spend time home with Pascal.


The tour was going great, said the girls, and they'd be home before I knew it. We often stayed in touch when they could, but when they couldn't it was just me. The shows and the album were getting a lot of attention, and I was super proud.


I called Dinah, and she picked up on the second ring, "HEY GIRLIE! LAUREN! Where's Lauren, Camila?"

I couldn't hear the conversation as I smiled on the other end, "Hey, Dinah, it's fine, I called to talk to you."

"Oh forreal? How are you? Yeah, Lauren's with Dorito Boy 2.0. and his friends right now."

"Who?"

"Tristan, Brad.. you know, The Vamps."

"Seriously, okay, but I'm doing good. Trying to keep up on my homework for class."

"What are you studying again?"

"Business management, psychology, and English. How's everyone?"

"We're fine, missing our baby, though. Prom season is coming up."

"I know," i chuckle, "I'm out of high school, remember? Don't have to worry about that."

"Girl, bye, I was not talking about you! I was referring to me and Nela!"

"You're hoping he asks you?"

"He has to ask me, he's my pe'o!"

"Dinah, stop yelling into the phone, I can hear you pretty well." I laugh, "Well, if he doesn't ask, I'll give him a poly beatdown, good?"

"Good, and I'm gonna join, because that is tacky if he doesn't."I tuck my legs in under my body and hear Normani and Dinah arguing.

"Gimme back the phone!"

"No, way, I miss my Paigey. Hey, babe."

"Hey Mani! What's up?""Nothing, what's up with you?"

"Just sitting here, listening to Dinah talk about No-Neck Nela."

Normani bursts into laughter, "Oh my gosh, No-Neck? That's dead wrong girl. What if we said Lauren..."

"Lauren what?" I smirked, there was nothing they could say."You're right, you got me. Lo is flawless!"

"THANK YOU MANI!!!" I heard Lauren's husky voice in the background, "Speaking of the devil, guess who just got home, Paige?""Hiiiii, Lauren!"

"Hiiiiiii, Paige." She said, I could hear the smile in her voice.

"I'm okay.. I wanna shnuggle."

"Shnuggles? You'll be home soon and we can have a shnuggle marathon." I giggled, imitating the adorable way she pronounced snuggle in her baby voice."Are you staying up on your studies?"

"Of course, I just need a few more credits and I've got my B.A"

"That's amazing, I'm super proud of you. What time is it there?"

"7:30. I just got off of work, you?"

"It's 4 here, show's in a few.""Well, then you need to go get ready, right?"

"Mhm, just wanted to say hey... but we gotta go. Love ju!"

"Love ju, too, Laur. Tell Mila and Ally I said call me after the show if everyone's not exhausted, okay?"

'"Mkay, give Pascal kisses from mama."

"Yes ma'am! Bye!"I slipped my phone into my bag and walked to my car, something Milika had brought me when I returned from Lauren's.


It was a white BMW with GPS and Pandora radio, all my favorite things.I pressed the start, sticking the key thingy into the ignition and pulled off towards the house. I arrived a few minutes later, blasting Where Are U Now by Justin Bieber from the speakers. I turned it and the car off and walking up to the front door, disabling the alarm system as I went.

"Hey Pascal, Mommy is home!" I called out to the adorable puppy who ran up to me, wagging his tail excitedly."Hi, little boy, I wuv you!" I say, kneeling down to his level, he licks my face.I wipe off his slobber, "We'll go for a run later." I head to the back to the lanai and let him out to play in the yard. I on the other hand, decided to grab a snack. I ate some chips and drank a bottle of water, going upstairs to me and Lauren's shared bedroom, plopping on the bed."Hmmmm, this feels nice." I inhaled Lauren's scent, miraculously still there.

A few hours later, I was on my laptop in my pajamas, laying down in the same position as before when my Twitter notification popped up.
