Lauren Jauregui portrays Lauren Gomez.

Lauren's POV

"Do it quick",

"It'll be fast",

"You'll like what you feel".

That's what they all say. People think that having sex is all about the fun of it. Sometimes, it just isn't. It hurts being the only one who thinks this.

I don't have any issues that limit me from sex, but sex is literally just sex. Yes, it may feel good for a while, but it's not the same as making love. I've had sex many times, from strangers to the people I've dated in high school.

Now, it's just sex. My band is called Blush, we're a girl band. Everyone in the band had these groupies, which are one night stands that have sex with us for tickets. Of course not everyone does it, certainly not Ally Hera. All of us are equally talented and have so much fun together.

But, back to the point. I am the member who's had the most groupies in the band. We even have a record of it. Mani, real name Normani Kurtis, has only had a groupie twice, Karla had a groupie once, while Dianah and Ally have never had one.

How many I had, you ask? I've had 7 groupies so far, and none of them I knew. That's the point though, you're not supposed to know them, they just fuck you for tickets to your show.

The main point is that I've grown to hate sex so much.

Right now, I'm sitting down in the dressing room, about to get all caked up for the show. Ugh, so not into it right now. I'm just not in the mood, I guess.

I am not depressed! Everyone think I'm depressed because of how I dress and how I act around them. But that's just me. I am equally happy as the rest of my bandgirls. Smiley face, smiley face.

"Lauren!", someone called out for me.
She called for me again. "Lauren, hey! I was looking for you!" It ended up being Ally, smiling when she saw me. I took another look at her before looking down and looking at her again. She was already using her outfit and makeup.

"You're ready?!" I shouted in shock. "Yes, let me get you ready! Our makeup artist ditched the scene. She's so impatient!" said Ally.

I was literally how many minutes late! Punctuality is this band's number one virtue and I broke it. I don't care about myself getting ready though. I only care about the fans. The 17,500 fans that were sitting pretty impatient right outside..

"Come on, the fans are waiting right outside." Telepathy much?

Ally grabbed my hands and led me to the vanity mirror. She gussied me up in less than three minutes. I looked amazing. Cue the flawless emoji. Thanks to my short mama, Ally.

I saw the girls outside the dressing room, all ready to start. Karla stepped forward and handed me my microphone. "Thanks Karz." she smiled dryly and they all walked forward.

Ok den.

I followed them through the maze of wires and roofs and walls, but in the end, we made it to the stage. The lights dimmed a bit, just to the right contrast. My eyes adjusted to the change of brightness. I looked at the fans and saw all the posters. Casual to have posters, but this time, it said my name.

"Good evening everybody!" chanted Karla. "How are you all tonight?!"

The crowd screamed in amazement.

"We are gonna have the best time tonight, right guys?!" asked Dianah.

I was going to say my part, but Mani interrupted. "But first...we have a little surprise for one of our girls."

The girls all turned to me. Then the fans lifted their posters..

What's going on...

I read the posters carefully. They all said "WE LOVE YOU LAUREN!"

I wanted to read everything! I loved all of them!

"Lauren, it's your day today. It should always be! So enjoy yourself tonight and forever. We love you." explained Ally with the largest grin.

I was speechless for a few moments. My eyes started tearing up. Oh no no no, my sensitivity is coming on. They're gonna think that something is up. I'm crying because I like the posters and speech from my girls. Not because I'm depressed like how they all think I am.

I had to say something anyway.

"T- thank you guys so much, I've never felt any better... Now, it's time for you guys to enjoy tonight with me and my girls."

I wiped my tears then winked at the fans. Or course, they went crazy.

Hours Later

The concert is finally over. Gosh, I'm so sweaty. Eek. But then again, I clearly enjoyed tonight. It was great.

Now we had a little backstage moment with the fans. I went to get me a salad and some vodka, until I was shocked at who I saw across the room.

It was Lucy de Ville. She was one of my past "groupies". She's also my ex. An ex that nobody knows about, not even the girls!

She took a look around the room, eventually glancing at me directly in the eye. Of course, once she saw me, she walked toward me.

I looked at my girls, they were looking at me. Dianah lipped these exact words: Go for her!

Lucy came up to me, and struck a conversation.

"Hello, Lauren." Lucy said, looking at me. She scoot closer to me.

"What about we go sit over there." she pointed at an empty couch. She sounded so intimate. I knew what she was up to.

We walked to the couch and of course sat on it, I mean I guess.

"What are you doing here?!" I whisper shouted. I would shout at her but I didn't wanna cause a scene.

"Being a good girlfriend, that's what." she winked at me and bit her lip.

I wasn't feeling it, but I'll give her an A for effort.

"We're not together anymore. Why can't you leave me alone?!"

"Because Laur, I have things that you don't want people to know... Hmm?"

She pulled the blackmail card. The only reason I can't file a restraining order or call the cops is because she knows things that nobody is supposed to.

"Now let's get our asses to my hotel. Tell your girls you're leaving, babe. "

I scoffed. She calls me babe and I hate it! I hate her!

I got up and walked towards my girls.

"How was it Lo?!" Mani asked. "It was great, yeah." I tried to sound enthusiastic as possible.

"She wants to take me to her hotel for a few drinks."

I stood there waiting for a response. All I hear is Ally "So what are you waiting for?" she giggled.

"Go for it Lauren. You deserve it!" whispered Dianah.

"Have fun.." said Karla softly.

I don't think she actually wanted me to have fun. You see, Karla is my ex, and things aren't so smooth yet.

"Yeah. Thanks guys! See y'all tomorrow."

I decked the scene and ditched the most important girls in my life for someone who doesn't even care for me.

Life sucks.
