I pressed my ear on the door and listened closely:

"Are you serious? [....] Oh my god... [...] What do we do at this point? [....] Is that what I need to tell Lauren? [.....] Okay, thank you doctor [..]"

I backed away from the door and sat on the bed as she came in, tears in her eyes. That was my warning that something was wrong

"What'd he say?"

"Nothing" she said as her head fell down

"Normani please."

She sighed "the hospital's power went out due to the thunder storm so Camila's heart monitor, ventilator, everything shut off and they don't know how much longer she can live without them"

"Can't they do something?!" I said fighting back tears

"There's not much they can do Lauren, they have back up generators but that won't keep it running forever"

"I have to go back" standing up and tried to leave

"There's nothing you can do!" she said grabbing my wrist

"I can be there for her and let her know that I'm there with her"

"You need to stop and think. It's pouring out there, you could get in an accident and you could be the one that dies! You want Camila to go through what you're going through?!"

"No" I said my voice cracking

"I know you're worried, we all are. At this point, we can only pray and hope the power gets restored soon and that Camila can hold out"

I nodded and began sobbing, Normani ran to my side, holding me tight in her arms

"Guys, it's still early. We should all get a good night sleep and visit Camila in the morning" Dinah said as she opened the door

Normani and I nodded as I hugged her goodbye, leaving her room and walked towards mine. I closed the door behind me, diving into bed. I knew I wasn't gonna be able to sleep, not with everything that's going on but at the same time, I was exhausted. My eyes grew heavier and heavier until I finally crashed

*Lauren's Dream*

Fifth Harmony member, Lauren Jauregui, attacks paparazzi after Camila Cabello's funeral. Witnesses report that Jauregui has been struggling with Cabello's death just 4 weeks ago. Other Fifth Harmony members say that its been hard to see their friend go through such pain.

"Lauren is struggling big time and we think she's at that edge"

"She needs help but wont let anyone in"

Jauregui has refused to speak to us on this issue first hand but Ally Brooke says that all she does is stay in bed, eating nutella off her fingers. Is Fifth Harmony's career about to end before it begins?

I threw my laptop against the wall, breaking it into multiple pieces. I have been struggling since Camz death but that doesn't mean people have to keep bringing it up. It's hard enough not being able to wake up to her pizza craving eyes, hear her majestic voice fill my heart with love. The other girls were out for some Clevver TV interview, I stayed back knowing that I would just be a buzz kill. I can't take this anymore! I stood up, went into the medicine cabinet, and uncap the bottle. I can't take not having Camila here. If she can't be here with me on earth, I'll be there with her in heaven. I tilt my head back and swallowed all the pills.

*End of Dream*

I sat up screaming at the top of my lungs, gasping for air. I looked around my room to make sure it was a dream. I covered my face as Ally came running in
