Mine (Norminah)

Chapter 10

Dinah's POV

"You okay?" I watched her nod her head as the tears started to brim her eyes.

"Awe, don't cry." I held my arms open for the hug I knew she desperately needed. We stayed like that for about five minutes until we were called to go out on stage. But my mother, being the "Norminah" shipper that she is, caught it all on camera and posted it on my SnapChat. We were all in for a crazy night.

After the show the girls and I went on the tour bus to talk some things over. Well Lauren was late, her and Lucy were having an "I missed you" cuddle session. Once all of Fifth Harmony were on the bus we all looked at each other, trying to figure out how to start the conversation. Camila was the first to speak up.

"I don't want you guys to hate me. I'm not trying to break up our friendships, we just started getting them back on track. I just feel that this is what's best for me at this point. I will continue to support you guys as I always have." At that Mani scoffed, Ally and Lauren just laughed, and I looked at the floor. That probably wasn't the best thing for her to say and I knew that ishh was about to hit the fan.

"Wait a minute!" Mani stopped and laughed hysterically, Camila was really in for it now. "When was the last time that you supported one of us? When Dinah's first solo song was announced? When Lauren's first solo song was released? When Ally got signed to Cranberry Management and was in the studio with Tori? When was the last time you truly cared about one of us? Oh, it must've been when your racist fans were attacking me and all you could say was if they loved you it was enough? I was just a someone to you, you couldn't even be bothered to mention my name! We've all just been someones to you. LA always favored you over the rest of us and you've never seen anything wrong with it. You're a snake Camila and I've tried so hard to look over it these past few months, but I can't. You step on everybody to get where you want to be, you've been doing it since we met. So screw you!" She stopped to catch her breath and wipe the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Mani, you know-"

"Don't call me that! My name is Normani Kordei Hamilton, address me as such. I was really going to sit here and do the whole happy for you thing. But I'm not going to sit here and congratulate you like you're not stepping on all of our backs. So fuck you, I wish you the best. I'm done." And with that she wiped her tears and walked off of the tour bus.

"I'm not going to lie and pretend that I wasn't thinking the same thing. So good luck to you Camila but lose all contact with me. I want nothing to do with you." Lauren stood up with a sigh and left. Ally just looked at Camila, rolled her eyes, and walked out. It took me a minute to get my thoughts together, so many things were swarming through my mind. But by the time I did I looked at Camila and she was staring at the floor with tears streaming down her face.

"They hate me don't they?" I simply nodded. "I knew they were all going to be mad at me but I didn't expect Man-Normani to blow up on me like that. I really thought I was doing what's best for me."

"But did you ever stop to think about what's best for us? I love you, I really do, but I've got to get this off my chest. For the past two years we've been put on the back burner for you. We've had to pretend to be happy and support you like your actions weren't tearing us apart. Mani's words may had been harsh but they were the truth. You're really burning us here Mila. For the past two years you've treated us as if we didn't exist, and that hurt. Then Roger comes and tells us that we only have two more months with you. We've known since October Mila but we were waiting for you to tell us. We just didn't expect you to wait until our last performance to tell us, that was low. How did you expect us to react?"

"Honestly, I wanted you guys to be happy that I was following my dream. I knew that wasn't going to happen. But hey a girl can dream right," she said with a sad chuckle. "Do you hate me China?" She looked me dead in the eyes waiting for my response.
