Lauren:

Since the day that Dinah finally revealed why she wouldn't go to New York with me she's been a little quiet. I can tell that she's been thinking about it too much because she's not her usual playful self. It worries me because whenever I ask if she's okay she'll say yes even though I know that she's not. I really need to understand what's going on with her.

Dinah's been in the studio since this morning while I've been at her apartment with Gabby. I didn't want to be stuck in the house all day so Gabby and I have been hanging out for a few hours doing a little shopping.

"Here, sit and let's try on a pair of shoes, pick the ones you want." I told the small two year old as I unbuckled her from her stroller. Once she was out she ran over to a wall filled with different colored Adidas. I chuckled and walked over. "Which ones?"

She pointed to a pair of purple ones. "Purple!" She shouted.

"Okay; we'll try those come on," I turned around to see a guy who worked in the shoe store walking over to us. "Excuse me, hi could we try this shoe for her?"

He nodded and took the shoe from me. "Sure, give me one second."

I nodded and turned my attention to Gabby. I picked her up and balanced her on my hip as I made my way over to a bench and sat down. "We're going to see Mama after this okay?"

Gabby smiled and nodded. "O'tay."

"Awe, your daughter is so cute."

I looked up to see a taller woman with blonde hair walking over to us. She had on what the previous guy was wearing so I figured that she worked here.

"Thank you." I said politely not bothering to correct her.

She flashed a smile but it wasn't a genuine one so a part of me knew that she was up to something. "Yeah...hey pretty girl." She said as she knelt down in front of Gabby.

Gabby rolled her eyes. "No. Go away."

I know that I shouldn't allow her to talk to an adult like that but this woman wasn't sitting well with me. "She's a little feisty one...ma'am did you need anything?" The woman asked putting on a fake smile.

"No thanks. Appreciate it though." I said as I returned the fake smile

She looked at me for a moment before slowly standing up. "Hm...well if you need anything let me kn-"

"Zendaya! Boss needs you to restock."

We both turned to see the same guy from before coming over with a shoe box.

The blonde haired woman rolled her eyes at me before walking off.

After trying on and purchasing Gabby's shoes, we got into the car and headed to Carl's Jr. to pick up lunch for Dinah then we made our way to the studio. When we got inside we were greeted by Normani who had the biggest smile on her face.

"Mani!" Gabby screamed as she ran to her.

"Hey boo!" Normani shouted in excitement as she reached down to pick her up.

"Hey Normani." I greeted politely.

She looked at me and smiled. "Hey."

What surprised me was the fact that she hugged me. Don't get me wrong Normani is cool and all but she and I never really got the chance to really sit down and talk, especially since I threatened her about Camila. We weren't exactly friends but whenever we were in the same room we didn't interact with one another much.
