Five

Camila found it hard to sleep with the cast on, and it was hard to cuddle without hurting Lauren.

"Ugh god damnit!" Camila yelled as her phone went off.

This was the first time she actually got to sleep and it was 6 in the morning, of course her phone would go off.
She grabbed her phone and went out to the front of the bus, so she didn't wake up Lauren, and answered the call.
She looked down at her phone to see Demi was calling and rolled her eyes, but answered anyways.

"Hey." Camila answered.

"Hey, you seem not mad?" Demi said as a question.

"I just I don't wanna fight anymore, and I know you were trying to help. I'm sorry." The younger girl apologized.

"It's alright Camila, how are you doing?" Demi questioned.

"Good but the cast is annoying, why'd you call?"

"I don't want you to get mad at me again, but have you thought about going to the hospital?" Demi questioned with concern.

"No not really because I don't need help if there's nothing wrong with me Demi. My eating disorder is my problem and definitely not yours! Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm eating." Camila lied.

"I just want you to be okay Mila. You're stick thin now and your cheeks are sunken in. You just aren't the same Camila anymore." Demi tried.

Camila felt her eyes water, was she really a different person now? All she wanted to do was loose weight, I guess pain changes people.

"My eating is fine Demi. C'mon. I don't have anorexia." Camila tried.
Camila heard shuffling from behind her and quickly hung up the phone.

"Dinah?" She questioned while turning around. Her heart was racing in her chest. What if Dinah heard her?

"Sorry I was just getting some food, do you want anything?" Dinah asked.

"Yea sure what are you making?" Camila responded. She was worried that her best friend had heard the conversation between her and Demi, so she just went along.

"Pancakes, you love those right. And good you need to eat something, tiny." Dinah responded.

"Yeah." Camila replied with a warm smile.
Camila went into the back lounge to change, trying not to wake Lauren up.

She put on her bugs bunny sweatpants, and Laurens sweatshirt that said Jauregui on the back. She was drowning in the sweatshirt, but she loved the feeling.
She walked back out to the kitchen area and saw a plate with 2 pancakes with syrup on them across from Dinah.

"Thanks China." Camila said.

"No problem Walz. Your lucky I made them for you. I woke up for no reason and I'm tired, so I'm going back to sleep after I get done eating." Dinah replied.
Camila giggled in response. She was surprised Dinah was up this early.

The two girls kept conversation up while they were eating. It distracted Camila from what she was doing.
Soon enough both girls finished and threw their paper plates away. Dinah said goodnight and climbed back in her bunk.

Camila went back to the back lounge where Lauren was sleeping and easily fell asleep for once.

The girls all woke up around 12 and got ready for the meeting and greet which was an hour later.

Camila just stayed in the clothes she put on this morning. And she left her hair natural.

"C'mon Lern I'm too tired to stand." Camila pleaded halfway through the meet and greet.
