It Gets Hard Sometimes (Camren)

Chapter 4

Lauren woke to the sound of Dinah banging on her and Camila's door, yelling for them to wake uo.

She groaned and looked at the time on her phone. It was 7am! Why the hell were they waking up so early? Lauren had only fallen asleep at four, which means she's only slept for about three hours.

Camila slowly got up, rubbing her eyes and walked to the door to open it for Dinah, who was still banging against it.

"What?" Lauren heard Camila asked Dinah, who had obviously taken this as an invitation to walk into their room.

"Get up," she said, "we're going out for breakfast," both girls groaned.

"Its seven in the morning Dinah!" Camila whined, "You could've waited another hour?"

"Well," the taller girl scoffed matter-of-factly, "the rest of us are up so it was only logical to just wake you guys up 'cause we're all hungry." Lauren rolled her eyes, "Now get ready!" Dinah shouted over her shoulder while leaving. Camila chuckled to herself. She looked over at Lauren and found that she was already staring at her.

"Morning," the smaller girl said with a smile.

"Morning," replied Lauren, whose morning voice was raspy and sweet.

They quickly got dressed and ready: Lauren wore black ripped jeans and a 1975's shirt that was cut under the arms. She grabbed her sunglasses before they left their room and stole a glance at Camila. She was wearing skinny blue jeans, a loose white shirt and a black hoodie. It wasn't anything special, but to Lauren, she looked perfect.

How was that? How was it that Camila could wear something so plain and casual, but still make Lauren feel this way?

Both girls walked out of their room to find Ally, Normani, Dinah and Coacoa, Dinahs sister, waiting for them in the lobby. They all made a few comments and jokes about how if they had taken any longer, they all would of starved to death, but soon left.

At Ally's request, they had all walked around until they had found a Waffle house.

"I swear girl, if you eat any more waffles, you're gonna explode," Normani said after they had ordered. Everyone around the table started laughing and making fun of Ally's waffle addiction.

"May I just ask?" Camila spoke up, "why were you up?" She pointed to Dinah. "You're usually the one who's always difficult to wake up," Dinah laughed.

"It was her fault," she said pointed to her sister, "she woke me up at six and wouldn't let me go back to sleep!"

"Hey! In my defence," said Coacoa, raising her hands in surrender, "I had jet lag."

"Well we were sleeping," Lauren spoke, "like normal people," she looked at Camila, who laughed.

"Yeah," she agreed, "Jeez, you should've just let us sleep. We could've ordered room service and binge watched a new TV series."

"Oh my gosh yes! Apparently'" Lauren squealed.

"Well," Normani interrupted her a bit too loudly and a bit too dramatically, "We didn't want you two to kill each other, but it seems like you weren't planning on doing that?" She raised her eyes grows and the other four girls, including Coacoa, looked at Lauren and Camila expectantly.

"You didn't make up for you?" Dinah asked. They looked at each other, smiled, then shrugged.

"Maybe," they both said simutaniously. The other girls all whooped in excitement, which caused them all to laugh loudly. It was nice for them all to laugh together without there being too much tension between Camila and Lauren.

"Its only been one day and you're already friends again. Look how well my plan worked out," Dinah gloated, smiling sheepishly. Normani gasped and hit her on the arm.

"It was my plan, not hers," she said, "so you can thank me." Dinah opened her mouth to speak but Ally cut in before she could.

"Both of y'all should just stop trying to say it was any of y'alls plan 'cause we all know I'm the only one smart enough to come up with a plan to complex," everyone laughed then finsihed their waffles. Camila smiled at Lauren and Laurens heart nearly fell out of her chest. Wow, it was going to be a long day.

Today, the girls had done a few interviews for magazines, and different entertainment franchises. Camila and Lauren and interacted in every single interview. Not too much though, just as much as they could. As in, they looked at each other, and laughed at each others jokes and so on.

As much as they could do without getting trouble from management.

Either way, it was the best Camila had felt like in a while. She always felt out of place and missed being like this with Lauren. The tour was nearly over and then they had the Jingle Balls concerts to do. She was excited for that because they got to perform with other artists and it was fun. She also wasn't excited though because that means she couldn't spend as much time with her family as she was hoping.

Camila hadn't seen her sister, Sofi, for quite a long time now. Her mom was currently on your with them, but she still missed her dad and her sister. Nothing was better than just being at home and just relaxing.

But it was what it was, and for the mean time, everything was fine.

Or at least, Camila wished everything was fine.
