If It Makes You Happy

Chapter 27

The sound of my alarm blared throughout my room and I reached over and hit the snooze button. I buried my face back into my pillow with the intentions of going back to sleep, but I felt movement next to me. I was hoping that she wouldn't get up or move.

"Lolo, time to get up" Camila said.

I know her face was close to mine because I could feel her breathing on my face, but my eyes remained closed.

"It is Saturday Camz," I mumbled.

"It is not. I counted and it is not" Camila said.

There was a knock on my bedroom door and then the door opened. My mom's voice filled my room.

"Why aren't any of you up?" my mom said loudly.

Normani groaned from the floor. "Do we have to go to the police station?" Normani asked, sitting up and letting out a yawn.

"Yes, you are all part of the investigation" my mom said.

"There shouldn't be an investigation on a dead person" Natasha mumbled from the couch.

"You all need to shut the hell up. I'm trying to sleep" Dinah said placing a pillow over her head.

Ally stirred a little by Normani's side, but still remained asleep.

"Is Elise the only one who slept in the other room?" my mom asked.

"She slept in Taylor's room" I said.

"What about Maia, Tori, and Noah?" my mom asked.

"They slept in the spare room" I said.

My mom nodded her head, but I saw her start to tear up. I could tell she wanted to hurry up and leave the room before we all saw her breakdown.

"You all need to get ready and be ready when it's time to go" my mom said before leaving my room and closing the door behind her.

"Are we leaving now?" Camila asked holding the stuffed animal in her arms.

"No, not yet. Go back to sleep Camz" I said.

"Okay Lolo," Camila said and then lay back down on the bed.

I sighed and covered my face with my pillow. I was waiting for sleep to take me again, but I knew the events of what happened would play in my head before that happened. It all happened so fast, the gun shot and then the dead body that lay in front of Camila and I. Sinu's eyes were still open when she was killed, but what stayed ingrained into my brain was the single tear that fell from her eyes. The cops searched us to see if we had any weapons on before taking us outside. We were put into squad cards and taking down to the station where we were all reunited with our families. Well at least almost all of us. Natasha's family was still in Canada and so were Elise's. Camila at the moment didn't really have any family. No one knew where her father was, but my parents ended up taking in Sofi. My mom was still guarded when it came to Camila, but that changed when Camila spoke to her.

"Hi, I'm Camila and I'm seventeen" Camila said to my mom.

My mom looked at me in complete shock. Taylor started explaining to our mom what happened to Camila. Our mom wasted no time getting her to the hospital to see a doctor. Turns out Camila's condition was nowhere like mine, but it was going to take her a while to catch up to things. The doctor's conclusion was that Camila's condition was due to trauma and a bit of brain damage.

Ally turned out to not be taken at all, but saw something and went to go alert the cops. She has refused to tell us what it is that she actually saw. Maia, Tori, and Noah were found by the cops first but no one seemed to be able to find Brad. We explained to the cops that we had tied him up and put him in a closet, but he was no longer there and Dinah was found tied up in there instead.
