Lauren! Over here!

To the left, please.

Right here!

Front and center!

Ms. Jauregui!

Lauren Jauregui, smile over here, please!

Camera flashes were everywhere as Lauren posed on the red carpet for the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. Lauren tried her best to please as many photographers by looking at their direction. It was still very overwhelming for her, even after the many years she has been in the industry. Though this time, she was not with the girls.

The uprising 26 year-old, solo artist wore a rich black Gucci One Shoulder Silk Georgette Gown with complementing black Giuseppe Zanotti heels with golden snake ankle straps. She had light makeup on which allowed her to cover up her freckles and unwanted blemishes. Though, those features are what contributes to her breathe-taking beautiful face. Her new makeup artist suggested to only use light makeup since she wanted the green-eyed singer to glow on the red carpet, while showing off her natural beauty. Her enticing green eyes seemed brighter in contrast to her dark eye makeup, which struck many photographers and bystanders that were watching the red carpet. The singer's jet black hair was in light curls that flowed naturally through the air. Overall, Lauren Jauregui left everyone in awe. As usual.

As the former Fifth Harmony member moved along the red carpet, she was joined by Stella, the former Fifth Harmony manager from 2016 to their disbandment. Or as Jauregui may say: her girlfriend.

Stella was just starting her career as music manager in the beginning of 2015. As she was working to get everything in order to work with her independent company, she was referred to a girl group called Fifth Harmony. She has heard of them since they were on X Factor, and she was excited for them. She knew they were going to be successful, and was enthralled that they were signed to Epic/Syco.

In the summer of 2015, she started hearing news about them through social media. Yeah, they were successful, however, they were so restricted. Many fans would see how the members of the former X Factor contestants were not as close as before. The girls' management team was also not as flattering as they were in the beginning. There were no coordination with their choice of styles for the red carpet as a group, their makeup sometimes did not match their skin tone, and they did not even stand as a group.

Unfulfilled promises. Unnecessary takeovers that did not benefit them as a group. Unwanted solo career projects that may affect their group's success. Many fans, and the general public noticed this, and they were not happy. They were prepared for the worst. Fifth Harmony was breaking up after only three years together.

Stella decided to act quickly. She wanted these girls to be successful since they have so much potential. She did not want to let their talent go to waste. Each girl was unique and had their strengths and weaknesses. It would be a lot of work and group restoration, but she was willing to do her best to get the girls what they deserve since the beginning.

Therefore, by the end of December 2015, she contacted the girls and their management and sorted out their deal. That is, Stella's independent company has a joint custody of the girls with Syco until their second album comes out May 2016. After that, the girls of Fifth Harmony are released from Epic, and can decide if they want to renew their contract with L.A. Reid's label, or they can get signed with Stella's label, HUDGENS Co. & Records.

The young music manager thoroughly explained what her intentions are and sorted out a contract which allows the girls to freely do what they please as long as their number one priority is the group and the group's success. The girls, then, agreed to sign into HUDGENS Co. & Records.

Stella managed to guide the girls of Fifth Harmony into high success of their career for another five years after their resignation with Epic/Syco. After the debut of "5H2" in May, the girls and Stella proceeded to work on their group dynamics and just improve their relationships with each other.

It was a year long process, however, they made it work. As their bonds with each other were improving, they started to work on their third album, in which they plan on releasing at the end of July 2018. Their solo distributions were distributed properly, and with the help of vocal coaches, their singing techniques made their performances better and insinuated a healthier way to project their breath-taking harmonies. Their dancing improved, too. Altogether, they improved so much and it showed.

In 2019, Fifth Harmony had won their first ever Grammy. They were also working on their EP for their fourth album. To say that Stella was proud of the girls and herself was an understatement. She saved one of the biggest girl group of their generation. After they released their EP on September 2019, success after success were given to them. Their relationship with each other kept progressing and so did the respect from the general public.

Fifth Harmony was the biggest music group worldwide.

As expected, all good things must come to an end. It was not a bad ending, to be honest. The group decided to go their separate ways since life goes on and they need to experience the main reason they first auditioned in The X Factor: to be solo artists. By December 2020, they released their Farewell album, which was also their full fourth album. In January 2021, the group officially broke up. Harmonizers were extremely devastated, but they understood.

After almost nine year together, Fifth Harmony and their harmonizers were thankful for each other and for being so supportive for one another.

The girls of Fifth Harmony were content, but there were some problems, too. Above all the success and improvements, there were still problems. But, that was life. It was more of relationship problems that interfered. A member or two of the group started to fall for each other, but neither knew. The green-eyed girl wanted to move on, therefore, she found interest in Stella. The rest of the group knew it was a bad idea for Lauren to date their manager. But Lauren, as stubborn as she is, secretly started seeing Stella right before the group's break-up in January.

With Stella being one year older than the former Fifth Harmony member, she always supported Lauren. Stella also showed interest in singer, which led to them officially dating as soon as group split up. Stella also volunteered to help guide Lauren into her solo career. The green eyed singer suggested that Stella should also be her manager.

With all being said, it is now present day with Lauren Jauregui posing next her girlfriend on the red carpet as she waits for the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards to start. The singer has her first solo EP out, and she is performing her single for the very first time on stage.

"Ready?" she turned to Stella. Stella nods, "Let's do this." Stella smiled as the green-eyed goddess kissed her cheek.

As Lauren kissed Stella, the clicks of the cameras grew louder, and the flashes grew brighter.

Hello everyone! I think I know where I'm going to take this story. Just be patient with me, I'm a bit busy right now since finals are coming up. I hope you like this. I am not sure what ship I want Lauren to be in, so I haven't put a name for that other member of the group. So, I'll leave it open for now until I decide which one I want.

This was just a quick background info that happened in the past 7 years, and present day is August 2022.

To be honest, Stella just came out of nowhere, I just wanted Lauren's current girlfriend to be named Stella, and idk Hudgens just came up lmao.
