Trifecta

Ch 13

The three walked out of their hotel room.
Mia's eyes red and puffy. Charlie and Nicole looked at Mia and held her hands.

"Thanks guys." Mia said.

"Anytime honey." Charlie said.

"Chin up princess. He's dirt." Nicole said.

"I really hope he's not gonna be there today cause I might scream and cry if he is." Mia said.

"Understandable." Charlie said.
Nicole nodded.

"Ladies." Landon greeted them.

Mia bit her lip and shut her eyes tightly.
Nicole shot Landon a glare and rubbed Mia's back.
Charlie shook her head at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Nicky. Please take Mia into the bathroom." Charlie said. Nicole kissed her and took Mia into the bathroom.

"Look. If you're going to tell me I'm an idiot and a dick. I already heard that and almost got beaten with a speaker stand."

"You're not sorry for breaking Mia into pieces and that is sickening."

"I really don't know what you want me to do."

"Just leave us be. Mia can't handle seeing you. Hell we can't even bring you up anymore. Since you are all fine you should understand that broken people need time and space to heal and her seeing you here fucking tears her up." Charlie said. "And seeing her like that tears us up and makes us hate you."

"I get it."

"You don't. Just wait until you get your heart shattered and have to see them almost all the time." Charlie said. "Just do me a solid and fuck off."
She pushed past him and her bandmates walked out of the bathroom.
She put her arm around the younger girl and the three walked away.

Landon shook his head and walked away.

The three walked into the room and Demi wasn't in there.

"Oh god. It's gonna happen." Charlie said.

"We're goin to die today."

"Might as well have some fun." Mia said.

"That's the spirit mi mi." Nicole said.

"Do your Fifth harmony impressions." Charlie said.

"Sing suga mama." Nicole said. "I'll play the piano and Charlie you beatbox."

"Okay." Charlie said. The two set up and Nicole started playing the piano. Charlie beatboxed.

Mia (Camila)-Boy, you know that I want it
I can tell you want me as your lady
Can't deny that your sexy
So what's it gon' be

(Normani) Is you gon' get a job
And make some of that green
You tryna take me out
But you can't pay for me
I guess I got the cash
I'll take one for the team
Baby, can't you see?

(Lauren) Oh, oh
I won't ask you to go

All-But I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
I said, I said
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama mmmmm mmmm
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
And even though I love the thought of you
No, I can't be your... can't be your
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Mmmmmm, yeah

Mia (ally)-I love what you do to me
Ain't nobody love me like, like you do
I won't call you lazy
But how you pay for food

(Dinah) My daddy said, "No."
You ain't good for me
Not ballin' in that dough
But I'm paying for your things
Somethings gotta change, boy
Hmm, please (boy, please)
Oh, baby, can't you see?

(Lauren) Oh, oh
I won't ask you to go

All-But I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
I said, I said
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama mmmmm mmmm
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
And even though I love the thought of you
No, I can't be your, I can't be your
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Mmmmmm yeah

Ain't got that money money
Ain't got a damn thang
Wish you could be my honey
You make me sang sang
Ain't got that money money
Ain't got a damn thang
What you want me to say, oh

[Chorus:]
But I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
I said, I said
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama mmmmm mmmm
I can't be your suga mama
Your suga mama, baby
I can't be your suga mama
And even though I love the thought of you
No, I can't be your, I can't be your
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama
Su-, su-, su-, your suga mama

Mia-Oh I can't be your suga mama

The three laughed.

"Yas Mia!" Charlie said.

"Impressions on point!" Nicole said.

"Thanks. But where is Demi?"

"She's probably off plotting our demise." Nicole said. "Plus she has cameras here. So we're definitely gonna be pranked."
Charlie shrugged.

"How much you wanna bet she's gonna pelt us with water balloons?" Mia asked.
The other two girls chuckled.

Demi walked in.

"Hey girls." Demi said.

"Hey Demi." The girls said.

"Demi."

"Yeah Charlie."

"The girls and I have a song that we wanna perform in the finals. It's an original."

"Let me hear it." Demi said.

"Wow. She considered it." Charlie said to herself.
Charlie handed her an iPod with earbuds.
Demi put on the earbuds and pressed play. She danced in her seat a little.

"This song is great!" Demi said.
The girls smiled and all held hands.
Demi took out the earbuds.
"I love this song."
The girls got excited.
"But."
The girls expressions faded.
"I don't think we should get into originals for the competition. I could try to pull some strings and get you a performance after the competition like just for entertainment."

"I can work with that." Charlie said and nodded. "What about you ladies?"

"Yeah. I can dig it." Mia said.

"Yea. I'm in the same boat." Nicole said.

"I have been social media stalking you guys because I've been extremely bored lately and you have gotten tons of comments to do one song." Demi said and pulled out sheet music.
She handed it to the three girls.

"Run to you?" Mia asked.

Demi nodded.
"Your performances have mostly been upbeat energetic songs and we all love that. But I wanna test your versatility. you three have extremely soulful voices so how about a different vibe."

The three nodded.

"Let's get to work."
