"Rise and shine, you'll be seeing your lover in a few hours." Gerald muttered, throwing a pillow at Camila.

Groaning, Camila rubbed her face and stood up, walking over to the bathroom and washing her face.

Looking in the mirror she sighed and began brushing her teeth. The tour bus moved smoothly, sending her in a certain eased feeling. Her mind was racing a thousand miles an hour at the thought of spending three days with Lauren. Three days with her, alone. Sure, her and Lauren had a history of being close friends but that was long gone. Lauren never fully owned up to it, but she completely practically ruined the trio's relationship.

She spat the water and toothpaste out of her mouth, splashing water onto her face. "Jeez." She mumbled, rubbing a towel against her face. As she looked at herself in the mirror she sighed and tried her best to stay calm. Last night she didn't exactly have a dream, but she was disrupted multiple times. The thought of actually staying in a hotel room with Lauren for three days makes her anxious, intimidated and overall scared in general.

"Camila! Hurry up!" Gerald knocked on the door lightly, before leaving to grab some different clothes.
Camila opened the door and sighed, looking entirely at the ground beneath her feet. Once she looked up, Gerald was undressed, only wearing black skinny jeans. "Oh, um, I'm sorry!" Camila said surprised, trying her best to cover her eyes while half laughing.

"It's iight, I'm just shirtless. No biggie." Gerald shrugged, putting on a fresh new shirt.

"It kind of is a 'biggie', since you're uh..." Camila trails off and sighs heavily.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be with Lauren today? You know, in your fancy hotel room and all?"

Camila rolled her eyes, not wanting to make subtle eye contact with Gerald. The thing was, she was starting to believe Lauren did nothing wrong in the first place; Gerald was the one who sparked the fuse. When the trio were together, it seemed like Gerald didn't want to share Camila. And, at times it seemed like he didn't want to share Lauren. Gerald and Lauren both had their fair share of secrets held only between each-other, but Camila never felt as if that would cause a relationship fall out.

"Yeah, actually. I should give her a call, but I won't until we actually stop and stuff.." Camila trailed off at the end, biting her lip slightly.  She was starting to second guess her decision to stay three whole days alone with Lauren because who knows, maybe there could be another horrible fall out or vicious fight.

Lauren was known for being the most defendant in their trio. She stays her ground, proving her point until she decided to give up. No one could change her opinion, views, nothing. The only person who could do that was Lauren herself, no one else. Lauren wasn't viewed as weak, not in the lease. Most of the time, Lauren was intimidating. Of course, Lauren didn't scare Gerald, but she sure did scare the hell out of Camila.

In fact, a few months ago Lauren and Gerald got in a physical fight, blood everywhere. Of course, Lauren was holding herself up and trying her best but of course Gerald was more experienced with fighting and he was winning sickeningly. It all started because Lauren mocked Gerald's dream to make it as a full on rapper, saying he wa ridiculous for thinking he can become successful in the rap industry. Gerald was clearly offended and told her to fuck off, telling her if she didn't stop then he would make her. Yet, Lauren wouldn't budge. She kept her statements and reassured Gerald by saying it was out of his league. Once Lauren said this, he snapped. He walked away form her, but Lauren snorted; mutter he was stupid for even thinking such a thought. Gerald then quickly turned around and socked her right in the jaw, causing Laurent to throw a punch in return and turn it into a feud.

Camila never knew the whole story, hencing the fact Gerald told it differently from Lauren. Lauren said Gerald was being cocky, saying he would be the hottest of the hot. She explained to him that he shouldn't be so sure about that, since there are other rapper in the industry, but Gerald began to snap. He allegedly started saying things such as "What? You don't think I'm good enough Jauregui?" At this point Lauren wanted their conversation to end since they were getting nowhere besides bickering back and fourth, but Gerald didn't. He started shoving her backwards from the rough push on the shoulder, leading her into falling onto the wall and defending herself. No, he wasn't actually hurting her but she was done. She didn't want to deal with him so she threw a punch.

Sometimes Camila envied her. Most of the time, Camila let people walk over her; tear her down. The aggressiveness in Lauren made her feel weak, almost less of a person. She couldn't defend herself so quickly, and her vocabulary isn't as high as Lauren's.

Sighing once more, she decided to text Lauren a short message. "In Seattle, gonna pick out a hotel and text you the address. Stay tuned!"

She clicked her phone off and shoved it in her pocket, going to the small kitchen and grabbing an apple. "This is so dumb." She mumbled, turning away from the fridge to see Gerald looking into her eyes with practical venom.

"What's stupid?" He asked, his voice full of demanding aspects.

"T-the whole situation." Camila was stuttering. She never stutters, why is she stuttering?

"So, this tour? Inviting you on MY tour was stupid?" Gerald scuffed, a practical smirk plastered onto his face.

"I didn't say that! I was referring to the whole you, Lauren and I situation."

Gerald knitted his eyebrows, looking at her puzzled. "There is no 'situation', it's complete bullshit."

"Sorry.." Camila mumbled before inhaling deeply, desperately wanting to change the subject but how?

She walked past Gerald and opened the tour bus doors, letting the wind practically brush against her cheeks. "I need a break." She mumbled, allowing her legs to walk to the end of the parking lot where they decided to park. 

Closing her eyes, she looked at the ground and sighed. All she's been doing lately is sighing, rolling her eyes, or being irritated. It's not that she didn't like Gerald, no, it's just that she didn't understand the fact that he was being so difficult. Before, he was nice and more reaching towards her. He lacked care for Lauren and didn't even mention her, but now he's being extremely difficult. 

Camila didn't know if it was something that sparked him overnight or during a secret phone call, but something happened to make Gerald's view points change. Sure it didn't make sense to her, but it's Gerald and Gerald never really opens up to his fights or anger with  Camila. It's more of a, he only shows the positive side of himself to her so she doesn't get scared. 

That's how Camila interpreted it, anyway.
