Everything felt distant.

Distant while practicing our songs, distant with all the girls, and everything felt pretty black and white.

Why would Normani tell me she wanted me to talk to Camila and then I do and she just doesn’t come home? Where the heck would she go anyway? I mean, she doesn’t have family here, she hasn’t made any friends that I’m aware of and she stays out all not, we actually get stopped by paparazzi now and I even googled her name and nothing new popped up. It’s like she fell off the face of the Earth.

So I told all the girls to sleep over at my place tonight and we all would stay up and wait for Normani to return, because, OK, maybe I was overreacting a little bit, but she’s the one who left when she was the one who told me to talk to Camila.

So I didn’t text her, I didn’t call her, I wanted her to come back because she wanted to, not because she felt she had to.

So all the girls and I were watching Ravenswood and eating popcorn when the door opened, we were all in the back, and we hopped up running to the door.

There was laughing and the door slammed.

We made it to the foyer to see Normani in her white dress with the gold diamonds on the front. Her hair was done and she even had honey brown highlights added to it, she had on white heels to match.

“Where you been dude?” Dinah Jane said hands on her hips, more questions alike where asked but I just stared at Normani who was looking anywhere but me and Camila, Camila noticed it to and she moved to Normani until she was standing right in front I could only see her profile but the tears were shining brightly in her eyes

“Why didn’t you respond to any of my texts?” She asked, her voice was small and she was looking at her hands

Normani sighed and titled Camila’s chin up “Because, you had your own stuff to take care of, and so did I.” Normani gave a small smile “but now it’s dealt with and shouldn’t be leaving like that again.”

Camila nodded her head but I could see the tears falling. I wanted to confront her, I wanted to take her in my arms, kiss her forehead and tell her everything would be OK, I wanted her to know that I wouldn’t ever be leaving her. I wanted to make her blush and make her smile again; I wanted my Camz to be OK.

But I also knew it wasn’t my job, Normani was the one who hurt her and Normani should be the one to make it better, I know she will, that’s how Normani is she doesn’t want to show anyone she cares but she does, more than all of us put together.

But right now Normani was distracted bombarded with questions about where she was, if she was or hurt or if there was something we should know from the other girls and Normani was reassuring them she was fine, wasn’t hurt and if anything she felt better than she had in a long time.

When they realized she wasn’t lying and wasn’t playing games, they let her go and started returning to normal, we were all just about to head to the back and finish Ravenswood when I stepped up to Normani

“Can I talk to you for a minute please” I said my voice obviously proving it wasn’t a question, Normani just rose and eyebrow then pointed to her bedroom, I took her hand and intertwined our fingers together and led the way, once we were inside I closed the door behind us and looked at Normani who was sitting on her bed taking off her shoes.

“Tell me where you were” I stated, I need to know, I need to know that Normani is OK.

“With a friend” Normani said her voice light, she had a little smirk on her face like she actually knew that being discreet with me wasn’t okay. It was almost cocky.

Normani is many things, but she isn’t cocky.

“You don’t have any friends here, all your-”

Normani didn’t give me time to finish “Oh! What are you saying now? Camila and Ally are the only ones who can become friends with other celebrities? Am I not cool enough for them or something?” Normani had an eyebrow raised at me hands on her hips, she was staring me down with her hard, dark brown eyes. I had to look away

“No, Mani, that isn’t-”

“What you meant, I get it.” She sat back down on the bed and sighed “Sorry, I’m just feeling a little jumpy.”

I moved closer to her sitting on the bed next to her “Mani… just know I care about you so much OK? I don’t want anything to happen to you and not knowing where you were scared me, a lot.”

She nods her head “I know, I’ve never been out all night like that I just needed time to think OK? Don’t punish me for that.”

I nod my head “I won’t, I promise”  I take a leap and press my lips to hers, it takes a minute but she finally kisses me back and puts a hand on the nap of my neck twirling a piece of my hair as she kissed me back, I pulled away and had a slight smile on my face.

“We’re OK, right?”

Normani nods and smiles “We’re good, now, let’s go watch TV with the girls.”

I nod “Lead the way”

Normani takes my hand and leads me out the door, we head back out with to the living room and Camila looks up and smiles “Norrrrrrrrmannnnnnni,” she sings “come sit with me.” she was on the loveseat with Ally smiles and says “pleassse” she sings too.

Normani smiles and lets go of my hand and slips down next to Mila, she wraps her arms around her mid-section and sticks her head in Camila’s hair, breathing deeply I can even hear the muffled “Missed you,” Normani says into Camz hair. Camila blushes and leans in a little closer.

I try to ignore the jealously bubbling under my skin as I plop down on the sofa next to Dinah. Dinah gives me a funny look then throws an arm over my shoulder and smiles at me. I try my best to smile back, but again I look back at Camila and Normani, and at the wrong time too, because Normani plants a kiss on the side of Camila’s lips

I sigh I should be kissing Normani and being next to her, or kissing Camila.

God, I’m so fucked up.

I try to ignore the feelings of hurt and disappointment and lean closer to Dinah Jane and start watching Ravenswood.
