Mine (Norminah)

Chapter 3

Dinah's POV

   I've been waiting for two hours for Mila to come back from her "lunch date." Apparently she pushed Manz to talk to her since it was obvious she wasn't going to talk to me. She made sure I knew that by locking herself in the bathroom when I went by her bus to talk to her this morning. She stayed in there for one whole hour, cramped in a small bathroom just to avoid me.

   "Dinah will you calm down? You're making me nervous and it's not even my relationship on the rocks." Lauren must've caught her mistake when she saw the death glare I sent her. "I didn't mean on the rocks, I meant ... Forget it, you know what I meant Dinah," she shrugged.

   Lauren's been trying to help me fix my problem with Manz. But today she's not helping she's just saying something funny or something stupid. And that's why I need Mila to hurry up and come back, I need someone who will actually help me fix this and take this seriously.

   "But like I was saying, if Mani was mines she wouldn't have to deal with stuff like this. I'd eat her and treat her like the chocolate goddess that she is." This is exactly what I'm talking about, Lauren either saying something funny or stupid. Right now she saying some stupid shii though.

   "Lauser one, I'm sure Ally wouldn't like to hear you say that about her little sister. Second, as your best friend and little sister if I ever hear you talking about my Manz like that again I will skin you alive." I love Lauser to death but we will fight today if she keeps talking about Manz like that.

   "Dinah I'm just saying. It seems like you can't handle that goddess of a woman yet. You're just not ready. Maybe you should just go back to Nela and let me have Mani. I'd have two of the baddest women on my arms. Can you imagine that? Caminah," she pauses to giggle, "and The Adults, AKA the best OT3 that there is. There would never be a dull moment in my life," she says as she smirks widely in my direction.

   "Lauren you're really pushing it. You're my sister and all but I'll whoop you ayuss if you keep talking about my girlfriend like that. Watch yourself Planet Green Eyes." She was walking in dangerous territory and pushing my very last button.

   "Come on Dinah, you've seen the fans and what they say. Even they know Norminah is dead, Laurmani is a yacht. You should come on and climb aboard." When those words came out I lost it, I pounced on her and trapped her on the couch. There was no fighting, hitting, scratching, just having her trapped beneath me with her hands pinned above her hand was enough, for now.

   And as if fate had a personal vendetta against me, in walked Mila and a very teary-eyed Normani. You'd think you were watching a Lifetime movie and the woman just caught her spouse cheating. Manz looked between me and Lauren twice before whispering a faint goodbye to Mila and scurrying away. I remained there frozen sitting on top of Lauren's lap as I watched my girlfriend practically run away from me with tears threatening to spill from her eyes. I just messed up again.

   "And you wonder why your relationship is barely hanging on by a thread now! Do you know how much talking I had to do just to get Mani to come to our tour bus to see you? I see why she feels the way she does now. ¿Eres realmente así de estúpido? Tienes que crecer y dejar de actuar como un niño algún tiempo Dinah! Obtenga su cabeza fuera de su culo!" And with that Mila walked to the back of the bus and slammed the door.

   "Lauren I really don't want to know what she said do I?"

   "Honestly, no. But I do suggest that you get from on top of me before you get yourself in any more trouble." And as if this day could get any worse there was a banging on the door as soon as we both got to our feet.

   "Lauren Michelle Juaregui Morgado and Dinah Jane Milika Ilasaane Hansen Amasio open this door right now!" Lauren cautiously opened the door to reveal her fun-sized and currently angry girlfriend. Wrong idea. Ally pushed Lauren inside the tour bus and pushed her on the couch before making her way over to me. I haven't seen her this angry since me and Nela broke up. I must admit I'm scared, and I have every right to be. After about a fourty-five minute scolding from Ally Lauren found herself in the doghouse and I found myself doing my own little walk of shame to my bunk.

   I really couldn't think of anything to make me feel worse than I already did. Not even when Manz moved her seat so she could sit next to Mila instead of sitting between me and Lauren during soundcheck. Or even when she completely walked off stage during Victoria's set all because I walked on the stage. Literally nothing could drag my day down anymore that it currently was. That was until my phone started ringing letting me know I had an incoming FaceTime call. Who would FaceTime  before I was about to get on stage? Mama Drea that's who. I'm dead.

   "Hi Mama Dr-"

   "Don't hi me child! What the heck is your problem? Dinah Jane Hansen answer me girl! What is running through that hyperactive mind of yours?"

   "Mama Drea I-"

   "Child don't talk back while I'm talking! Now answer my question! What is going on between you and that child of mine? This is the second time in twenty-four hours she's called me crying. What are you doing to my daughter?"

   "Mama Drea-"

   "Dinah I know you see me talking,"  she warned. "I love you and you're my daughter, you know that. But I'm gonna give you one day to fix this before I come fix you." And with that she ended the call. So I had that call replaying in my head as I got dressed and ready to go on stage.

   As expected Manz completely disregarded me on stage tonight. But even I was surprised when she ignored Lauren too, it was just awkward tonight. But the crowd went crazy for every Normila and Normally interaction they got, especially Normila. I messed up on lyrics and choreo so many times tonight just watching Manz light up the stage. Despite her personal feelings she went out on stage and gave her 200%. My little warrior.

   I didn't even try to talk to her after the concert. From what I see she's not talking to Lauren either. And by the looks of it neither are Ally and Camila, guess we're both in the doghouse. And to top everything off Lauren's avoiding me too so she can stay out of trouble with Ally. Thankfully tomorrow's the last  show before our two week break. We all need a little space to clear our heads.
