Camila's POV:

"Babe, did you call the U-Haul people back?" I asked.
"Yea, they'll be here at 3:00."
"Okay. We still have time. We're almost done, so we'll have time to chill before the big move."
"Yea." Lauren said with a sigh.
"Something on your mind?"
"I'm just going to miss it here. It's where I grew up. Every memory I've ever had was in Vermont."
"I'm going to miss it too. But now we're going to have a new beginning. We will be able to start over, there will be new opportunities. And besides, NYC is the city of love!"
"Camz, I'm pretty sure thats Paris."
"Tomato, tomato. Potato, potato."
She rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to call Dinah. I don't know if her and Normani are done packing."
"Kk."
I picked up my phone and dialed Dinah.

Dinah: Hey Camz! What's up?
Camila: Hey Dinah! Are you guys done packing?
Dinah: Almost. Just putting our clothes in boxes and the we'll be good to go. When are y'all picking us up?"
Camila: Whenever you're done packing.
Dinah: Okay sounds goo- Normani!!! Stop it!! Ahhh!!!
Camila: Dare I ask what just happened?
Dinah: Normani just attacked me with kisses!
Normani: Yo Camz.
Camila: Hey Mani.
Dinah: Mani babe, I'll right back. I'm talking to Camila about when she's picking us up.
Dinah: Sorry about that. As I was saying, that sound good. Pick us up around 4:00?
Camila: Haha! Okay, sure! I'll see you later.
Dinah: Bye.
Camila: Bye.

I put my phone down and walked over to Lauren.
"Lolo, we're picking them up around 4:00."
"Okay."
-
"Phew! We're finally done." I said in relief while wiping a bead of sweat off of my forehead.
"Thank God."
"Let's go get Normani and Dinah."
"Okay."
I walked over to the man in the U-Haul truck.
"Hi, I'm Camila."
"Ian, Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. So me and my girlfriend are gonna drive to our friends house. Can you follow us there so they can put their stuff in here too?"
"Sure!"
"And are you sure your fine with driving all the way to New York?"
"I'm sure Camila."
"Okay, thank you!"
"No problem!"

I sat into the seat of Lauren's car.
I looked at the house and waved.
"Camila, what the hell are you doing?"
"I'm saying goodbye to the house! Say goodbye Lauren!"
"Foodbye...I...I mean goodbye." She said embarrassed.

I looked at her and tilted my head slightly in confusion. I turned my head back to it's regular position, knowing she wouldn't respond to my look. She put the key in the lock and started the car. Then for the last time, we left our apartment.

By the time we got to Dinah and Normani's house, they were already outside waiting. They put all their belongings into the truck and then entered the car.
"Hey guys!!" Normani said.
"Hey!" I said. "Are y'all ready for the move?"
"Hell yeah!" Dinah yelled.
"Let's go!" Lauren yelled.
She started up the car once again and drove away.
-
After about an hour of driving, we got to the airport. Lauren and I talked a bit in the car but I didn't hear a peep from Normani and Dinah. I turned around to see Normani on top of Dinah, kissing her so much that I wasn't sure if she would survive.
"Hey love birds, were here."
Normani jumped up startled and slightly embarrassed.
"O..ok..." Normani said shyly.
"Don't get yourself worked up. Lauren and I made out God knows how many times." I said.
"Yea. In fact our first date ended up with us sleeping in the back seat." Lauren said.
"Oh yea, I remember that!"
"Okay guys, we don't want to miss our flight." Lauren said.

We grabbed our belongings and walked into the airport. We took off our shoes and went through the scanner thingy. Then we put our shoes back on and let the security inspect our bags.
"Ma'am." The security lady said to Lauren.
"Yea?" Lauren asked nervously.
"I'm afraid you can't bring whatever this medicine is." She said holding up a bottle of pills.
"Miss, those are my depression medication. You can't just do that! Once the medicine wears off I'll be depressed and go crazy!! And...an-" Lauren was cut off by the security woman.
The woman lifted up her sunglasses.
"Hey, aren't you Lauren Jauregui?"
Normani, Dinah, and I exchanged confused looks.
"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"
"I saw you on YouTube! That song is amazing!!"
"What song?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"Don't be ridiculous! She wrote a beautiful song!" The woman said.
"What was it about?"
"It... It was about you."
"Me?!" I asked in shock.
I wasn't shocked in a bad way, I was just surprised she wrote a song about me.
"Yea. Well it was more to you."
"Well when we get to NY you should show me."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"Fine."
"Okay ladies, you have a plane to catch. Lauren, I'll let it slide. You can bring your medicine, but just because I really admire you." The woman said.
"Thank you!" She said.

We ran to catch our 6:00 airplane. The airplane that would bring us to my home. To our home. Nothing would hold us back. We would all be able to chase our dreams. Nothing can stop us now.

I hope you enjoyed! Please comment and vote. Love you😘😘
