DINAH'S P.O.V

"Wakey, wakey!" A voice rang clear in my ears. Camila's voice. A sound of clashing pans soon followed.

"Come on, Dinah! Wake up!" It was Normani's turn to shout now. I opened my eyes slowly, afraid of what it might open to. Sleeping on my right side, I opened my eyes to reveal a smiling Normani inches away from my face. She briefly explained that Camila and Lauren basically barged in here, planning to wake everyone up. It was definitely one of Camila's out-of-this-world ideas. Lauren was just too in love with Camila to disagree. Haha just kidding... or am I? (A/n: i just had to huehue. Plz dont hate me x). Giggling at my own thoughts, I sat up threw my covers off of myself.

"Let's go wake Ally now!" Camila raced out, followed by Lauren. Normani didn't follow them and simply began scrolling through her phone. I took off my iPhone from the charger as I scrolled through my messages. Surprisingly, I recieved like 5 messages from the same unknown number through the morning.

Unknown number: 5:50am: hey Dinahhhh its Liam
Unknown number: 6:04am: im sad :(
Unknown number: 6:15am: i got your number from niall btw
Unknown number: 6:21am: can we meet up plz. Ill be at the stadium at 1pm today.
Unknown number: 6:33am: WHY ARENT U ANSWERING ME :(
Unknown number: 6:40am: sorry if Im disturbing ur sleep x

I immediately texted back.

You: 7:28: Haiii! Sorry didnt reply quicker but youll feel better dw. Ill try coming to the stadium quicker. Have a great day -Dinah

"Normani!" I heard Ally yell from the living room. I saw Normani roll her eyes before she headed down the hallway to the living room, me following after getting my toiletry stuff as I wanted to take a shower in a while. Ally stood in between Camila and Lauren, arms crossed.

"Did you eat my cereal bars?" She asked.
Normani rolled her eyes once again and answered: "yeah. I did."
"Ugh."
"Hmph. I guess one is never enough for you, huh?" Normani scoffed with a lace of bitterness in her voice. Ally, who was biweldered at Mani's bittereness, raised her eyebrows. Lauren was about to say something but she quickly clasped her mouth shut, realizing it wasn't a good idea. Shrugging with no care in the world, Normani sauntered to her room, slamming the door harder than usual.

"What's her problem?" Camila wondered, beginning to peel the banana that she just took from the fridge. Lauren began heading towards Normani's enclosed room, the hesitance clear in her movements. I decided to shake it off for now as I headed for the bathroom.

ZAYN'S P.O.V

Holding my cup of coffee, I followed Calum, Michael and Louis as the four of us wandered around the empty stadium at half past 10 in the morning.

"You know, its great to have you guys with us again." Louis said, talking about 5sos.

Calum and Michael nodded with agreement. "Yup. It really is great to be on the road again." A grinning Calum said before saying "no pun intended."
I facepalmed myself, letting my laughter fill the air. Good old, Calpal.

"Tell us about Fifth Harmony." Said Michael, changing the subject. The 5sos boys had only met Lauren from the band because she was the one that came with me when we picked the band up.

I spoke first: "well, they're really nice. If you ever need advice, Ally is great for it. She's a great listener. If you want someone to chill with, Dinah's the girl for it and if you want something... unusual but interesting, spend some time with Camila. Normani's the out-and-about one so if you wanna go to the mall or restaurant or whatever, Normani's ready."

"What about Lauren?" Asked Michael.

"She's all of the above." I blurted out quickly. Too quickly, even. I coughed, hoping they didn't hear what I just said. She's all I've been thinking about since that night at the airport. It was quite a night. Its one of those nights you never want to end, you know. Sure we hit it off since the start but it wasn't till last night I actually saw the true colors of Lauren Michelle Jauregui. We continued to banter about basically everything before my phone made a sound, indicating a new text message.

Please be Lauren.

Simon: 11:08am: meet me backstage right now. We need to talk. Come alone.

Oh no. I waved goodbye the talking trio, silently thanking them for not asking any questions whilst I made my way to the back of the stage which was being set up by the crew. I had a powerful gut feeling that this meet-up with Simon was not going to end well. Most likely, I will end up arguing with him like a hopeless little boy because he would always win. Simon's great but nowadays, its just business, reputation and money. Seriously, the last time Simon and I had one of these meet-ups, I had this really sketchy meeting with some guy called Shahid who was supposedly a producer or something. Then, there was another meet-up around 2012. The only reason I remembered is because it was the most memorable meet-ups ever. It was when I was told to fake date Perrie from Little Mix. Honestly, she's a lovely person but neither of us want to be told how to feel about another person.

Well. Thats it. Hope you enjoyed that and please vote and comment :)

Zerrie. Yay or nay?
Was a yay back when they started dating but nay because I believed it was fake some time after. Like, it was some sort of publicity stunt they made Zayn and Perrie do.

Byeeee x
