Viridescent Flares

Y O U

We're halfway through the tour and today before our show, we're going to film a video with The Vamps. It isn't required to be taken together but they're going to be on the same studio while we're working on it.

We are going to record ourselves playing one of their songs and after that, they'll record one while singing ours. It was Halsey's idea and said that she'll be uploading this on our YouTube account. We couldn't argue although I don't really want to sing The Vamps's song. It's ridiculous.

When we got there, we interacted with some fans waiting outside the building for a while. Some even asked me if Kinsley and I are dating, and I said 'no.' I had to repeat it to people that we're not a couple and just really close friends. It's not that I hated people asking about it but it just goes on and on and I kept on repeating myself.

When we got to the studio, the producers explained what we have to do and we started recording the video as soon as possible. We still have an interview after this anyway. We settled on our own instruments and when the cameraman said that it's rolling, I started plucking on the strings of my guitar.

"You just know

Sometimes you feel it in your bones

Though we've heard that hearts can still be wrong

Something's telling me that you're the one," I sang, letting my fingers flow smoothly through acoustic guitar I had to use.

"I just know

Even if I had a heart of stone

You could make it bleed all on your own

You could break it but I hope you won't," Normani followed, her vocals on point although we're quite foreign at the song.

"I'd burn it down, I'd light it up

For you, I'd risk it all." When Lauren sang those words, I felt chills run down to my spine at how raspy and sexy it was. This isn't supposed to be a sexual song but when she sings it—oh God—it's giving me eargasms.

"I'd rather crash, I'd rather crawl

Than never have your love at all

With only bricks to break my fall

For you, I'd risk it all," all of us sang, our voices harmonizing effortlessly. Through the times we've spent together—even Lauren arriving late—we have managed to master our blending.

"Stand your ground

Win or lose I gotta see this out

Go ahead, I'll let you watch me drown." It was Dinah's turn and her soft but sensual voice rang in our ears. "It takes more than this to keep me down."

"I'd give it in, I'd give it up

For you, I'd risk it all," Camila hit it while playing her own guitar. She had her eyes closed as she sang and I know that she's feeling the song too well.
