Camila woke up to the sound of her girl friends voice. "Camz get up baby we have to get ready for the show." Lauren tried.

"Just wake me up when breakfast is over." Camila replied flatly while turning away from Lauren in her bunk.

"No Camila you need to get up right now." Lauren replied in a slightly harsh tone.
"You never get up for breakfast, so sue me if I want to spend time with my beautiful girlfriend." Lauren tried again.

"Well sue me if I'm tired and I wanna fucking sleep." Camila replied with annoyance lacing her tone.

"Whatever Camila." Lauren ended while rolling her eyes.

"Can you atleast close the curtain?" Camila asked.

"Do it yourself!"

"I can't take my arms from out the blanket. Its too cold." Camila responded hesitantly.

"Are you kidding me right now it's hot in here!" Lauren exclaimed.
Lauren made her way back to the bunk to shut the curtain for her lazy girlfriend and grabbed another blanket out of her bunk for the small girl.

"Here you ice cube." Lauren joked while tucking the blanket around the younger girl. Lauren flinched her hand away when it made contact with Camila's skin. Camila's skin was freezing to the touch.

"Jesus Camz." Lauren said with a concerned tone.

"M'used to it." She replied while closing her eyes. Lauren bent over in the bunk and placed a warm kiss on Camilas temple then walked out of the tour bus.

The small girl laid in the same position for about fifteen minutes before she realized that she wasn't warming up. It frustrated her. Camila groaned and threw the 2 blankets off herself and climbed out of her bunk.

She immediately walked to the back of the bus and grabbed the first sweatshirt she saw and threw it over her head. She changed into a pair of Allys yoga pants, which she had been doing for a while considering none of her own clothes fit her.
She grabbed her phone and her headphones and threw her nikes on her feet and quickly left the tour bus. She made sure no one at the venue saw her leave, and ran down the street and began her morning run.

She ran atleast 2 miles every morning. She would push herself as hard as she could. Sometimes she would become lightheaded and dizzy. But she loved the feeling. She thought it meant that she was doing something right.

The runs were usually relaxing and peaceful. Aside from the fact that her legs were barely strong enough to support her and they were wobbling underneath her. Breathing became increasingly difficult.

"C'mon Camila. Keep going. You need to keep going." She pushed as her legs tried to give out underneath her.

Camila stumbled backwards slightly and landed on the sidewalk behind her. She checked her phone to see how far she had managed to run. Camila was disappointed to see that she hadn't even ran one mile yet.

But she couldn't continue. And even she knew that. She would end up passed out on the side of the road.

Camila unlocked her phone and searched for Lauren's contact. She hesitated before clicking on her girlfriend's name. She didn't have an excuse. And she didn't want to seem as weak as she was.

She pushed past her anxiety and called Lauren. Her girlfriend picked up on the first ring.

"Camila? Where are you?" Lauren's voice feigned concern.
