For Crying Out Loud

Chapter 5

Once our plane landed, we had a meeting with our PR people regarding the video that was posted on YouTube of the argument that Camila and Lauren had and what Camila revealed. I understood that it would cause some gossip but our Harmonizers has had #CamrenIsReal trending worldwide for a while and not to mention all the gifs that were on Tumblr from the video. We were told to not respond to any tweets regarding the video and pretend like we didn't know about it. This was fairly easy for me since whenever anything drama related happened with the girls, I made sure to stay out of it but I know it would be a bit tempting for the other girls well except for Lauren. I think she would have no problem not responding to any of our fans tweets or Tumblr asks. When we arrived at our hotel, I decided to room with Camila and Dinah while Lauren and Normani shared a room. I promised Troy once we landed that I would do a Skype call with him. I realized it was better to talk to him in Lauren and Normani's room since Dinah's snoring was really loud. I was in Lauren and Normani's room setting up my laptop when Lauren walked in.

"Oh sorry I thought no one was in here" Lauren said.

"It's okay I thought you were going to hang out with Normani and her mom for her birthday" I said.

"I am I just forgot my money" Lauren said digging around in her bag to retrieve her credit card.

"How are you holding up?" I ask.

Lauren zipped up her bag and looked at me. "I feel humiliated and I've been ignoring my parents and Luis's calls because I don't want to hear what they have to say. Why would Camz do that?" Lauren said.

"Why did you do what you did to her? I told you Lauren that Camila is sensitive and she doesn't like people taking advantage of her. Camila is not the way she was before thanks to Dinah who has taught her to toughen up. You had to know sooner or later that she was going to snap" I said.

"Why are you taking sides Ally?" Lauren asked.

"I'm not taking anyone's side I'm just merely observing. Tell me Lauren what do you feel when you kiss Camila compared to kissing Luis?" I said.

Lauren gave me a confused look. "Why would you ask me that?"

I shrugged. "Well why not? How a person feels when they kiss someone tells a lot about how much they care for a person. When I kiss Troy it feels like it's just me and him and nothing else matters and everything else is just background noise. Do you feel like that with Luis or Camila?" I said turning on my laptop.

Lauren looked down running her fingers through her hair. "I don't know it's like that with both of them. I suppose" Lauren said.

"Is it stronger with one than the other?" I ask typing in my password on my laptop.

"You know the answer to that Ally" Lauren said.

"Actually you're the only one that knows the answer to that. Just because I think I know who it is I could be wrong. I agree how Camila handled things at the airport could've been better... worded than the way it was but in a sense she gave you that extra push that you needed" I said.

"No... she has made my life worse and more complicated than it already was" Lauren said frustrated.

"You can't put all the blame on Camila and you know that. You're both to blame when it comes to this situation" I said as my phone lit up again for the tenth time revealing that Clara Jauregui was calling me yet again. I declined the call for the tenth time. "Lauren please call your mom" I added.

"Are you crazy? I'm not calling her. I'm avoiding her for a reason" Lauren said.

As if on cue I got an incoming Skype call from Troy. I looked at Lauren and then she nodded her head at me.
