..........................................................................................................

“Please welcome, Fifth Harmony!” exclaimed the interviewer.

The crowd cheered as the five girls made their way to the stage, Normani leading the pack, followed by Camila and Lauren, holding hands, and Ally and Dinah came in last. The girls said hi to the audience and the interviewer and sat down.

“Honestly, can you guys be more gorgeous?”

The girls laughed, “Thank you very much,” they happily said in unison.

“And Lauren let me say that baby bump actually looks good on you.”

Lauren laughed, “not so sure about that, but thank you for trying.”

Camila looked at Lauren with a confused look and squeezed her hand.

“So let’s get straight to it, shall we? What’s the deal with you guys?”

Lauren spoke up. “We just want to make clear that Camila will take part of the band for as long as Fifth Harmony exists.”

Ally came in after, “Yeah, there’s been so many rumors of us splitting up or getting rid of a member, we have never been about that, we are sisters and we stick together through everything.”

“And Camila, sorry about your accident, how are you doing?” The interviewer looked at Camila.

“Well,” she cleared her throat, “honestly, everything’s been good. I’ve been working on my vocals little by little and I’m getting better.”

“That’s very good to hear,” the interviewer smiled as all of them nodded.

“Ok, so your plans are an album and maybe a tour later on? What are we looking forward to from you guys?”

Normani responded to this, “well we will start working on the album in a couple of days and things are looking great but I don’t know so much about touring cause of this one right here,” she said, smiling and pointing to Lauren.

“Yeah, we rather take it slow and work our way into a tour maybe next year. We do believe that it is essential for us to be during the baby’s first steps but we’ll see after that,” Camila said, looking at Lauren. Lauren nodded and winked at her sweetly.

The interview went flawlessly, but now it was time to work on the album. The girls were in the studio working on some harmonies and beats. The first step to put everything together, was record the solos. First up was Ally, who, like always, did great. Camila was next. As the recorded her solo she started to feel short of breath but didn’t say anything because she knew Lauren would freak out and probably call an ambulance, or worse, make her stop singing. She had to hit this high note in the first time cause she couldn’t afford to do it multiple times. This was it. She sang the chorus a couple times and got to her solo. She took a deep breath but it seemed to short. She stopped in the middle of the note, coughing. Lauren noticed this and immediately pressed the speaker button from outside, “Camz, you okay?” Camila couldn’t stop coughing, and she grabbed her stomach as if she were in pain. “Shit, shit, shit, call an ambulance!” Lauren said to the other girls, who immediately obeyed.

Lauren ran into the studio, holding Camila. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“I can’t-can’t breathe” Camila choked out.

Once again, Lauren sat in the waiting room, but this time, only surrounded by her band members. She put her face in her hands and just cried. Normani, Ally and Dinah tried to comfort her but she couldn’t stop. Camila did not only lose her voice but she almost lost her life that afternoon. She couldn’t handle the guilt and the thought of losing her.

A doctor came in and all four girls stood up. “Ms. Cabello is still in surgery, apparently there was a problem with her trachea as she overworked her vocal chords which impacted her injured lung. Ms. Jauregui, may I speak to you in private?” Lauren just nodded as she followed the doctor to his office, leaving the rest of the girls behind with a worried look in their faces.

“Ms. Jauregui, I honestly don’t know if Camila is going to be able to sing for a long time and she might lose her voice if we apply surgery to her lung now. There is an experimental procedure recently established by doctors in London that might work, but we need your consent to proceed with the treatment.”

“What are the risks?” Lauren whispered.

“The same as if we proceeded with the typical lung surgery, loss of voice and possibly the need of assistance for breathing.”

“Do it, whatever tiny chance that Camila has to have her life back will be the better option, and I can’t lose her, please, I need her.” Lauren cried.

“We will do our best, don’t worry, our doctors are one of the best in the country.” The doctor offered a polite smile.

“Thank you.”

“So what’s going on?” Dinah asked as she saw Lauren walk in into the waiting room.

“There’s an experimental surgery and I gave them the consent to do it, it’s the only way she’s gonna recover her voice,” Lauren said, her voice slowly breaking.

Normani hugged her tight, “It’s gonna be fine. You’ll see.”

The girls waited for three hours and nothing seemed to happen. Suddenly, Dinah got a phone call from their agent. “I’ll be back,” she said as she stood up.

“Hello?”

“Dinah how is everything?”

“It’s scary but we’re hanging in there, she’s in surgery now.”

“Ok, I’m sorry for the bad timing but the press is all over me and we need an answer.”

“Well, what do you expect us to do at this time?!” she asked annoyed. “Just, I don’t know, just postpone the deadline for the album for now and we’ll take a decision later on.”

“Ok I’ll tell the press that then.”

“Ok, thanks,” Dinah hang up walking back to her seat.

“Agent called,” she said to the other three girls as they heard on the TV.

‘FIFTH HARMONY MEMBER, CAMILA CABELLO, WAS RUSHED INTO THE HOSPITAL EARLIER TODAY, BAND MEMBERS SAY THE ALBUM RELEASE DATE WILL BE POSTPONED FOR NOW’

Lauren sighed, covering her face with her hands, why did this have to happen and why Camila. She would give up her voice for her wife, that’s how much she meant to her, but now, their careers were in the line, and most importantly, her Camzii lied in a hospital bed in an operating room.
