It Gets Hard Sometimes (Camren)

Chapter 7

**5 years later**

Camila's pov

I walked into the the building of my old management- Epic. I hadn't been here in years and I felt out of place. Things had changed... I had changed. A lot actually. I didn't make music anymore. Of course I wrote songs, that will always be a part of me. But in regards of actually producing music? I couldn't.

"Camila!" Jeff, who had called to meet me, said with his arms open, "Nice to you again."

"You too Jeff," I said. He was always nice to me but I also haven't spoken to him in many years.

He led me down a few corridors that were vaguely familiar to me. We passed posters and frames of artists that Epic had managed over the years and all the awards they had won. Jeff tried to talk to me and made small conversation but they all died quickly. This I think, proved how much I changed. I don't know why I just couldn't stay focused during the dialogue.

"The meetings in here," Jeff said, stopping at a door in our left. I noddedand opened the door expecting the room to be empty, but it wasn't. Sitting in front of a huge round table was my ex-bandmate, Normani. She turned around in her chair and met my eyes. I could tell she was also obviously surprised by my appearance, as me hers. I stepped back a bit.

"What is this?" I asked Jeff, "You didn't say anything about anyone else being here."

"Camila please, just take a seat. I'll explain everything when the other girls arrive."

"The others are coming?" I asked. He nodded. Slowly, I went to sit in the seat opposite Normani at the table, not looking at her at all. I put my hands over my mouth, they were shaking and I could feel my axiety rising already. "Oh my God, oh my God," I whispered softly. I glanced at Normani, she just stared at me, complete hate in her eyes.

As time went on, both Ally and Dinah arrived, both being shocked by and the other girls' appearances. After Dinah was shocked at seeing me, she completely ignored me, only recognizing me when she looked at me with a hate worse than Normani's.

Last to arrive was Lauren. Instantly, her eyes found mine and I quickly looked down. She slowly walked to the table, sitting down in the only empty seat- the one next to mine. In five years, her style hasn't seemed to change much. She wore black skinny jeans, with a black shirt that had some band in it, white converse and a leather jacket hanging at her shoulders.

"Well now that we're all here, we can get started," Jeff began. "I know you all have had your differences in the past, but it's been quite a while since then. I'm guessing none of you have spoken to each other but the fans have spoken. They want you back. They want a Fifth Harmony reunion tour!" We all stared at him and for a while it was dead silent. Then, a small chuckle came from beside me. I turned to my right to see the sound coming from Lauren. She didnt say anything, she only laughed.

"A Fifth Harmony reunion tour?" Ally asked dis-believingly. Jeff nodded.

"So why am I here?" I asked softly, looking up to see them all staring at me.

"As much as I hate to agree with her, she's right. Camila left. She wasn't part of Fifth Harmony anymore," Normani said. Jeff nodded again, a faint smile playing at his lips.

"But the fans want her. There was a vote online and majority won," he said. Was he serious? Did some people actually still want me to be in Fifth Harmony? Because when I left, I got a lot of hate, and I mean a lot. So many people sent me hate messages and called me a snake. It was horrible. I looked around to see the other girls faces. None of them were looking at me. I sighed.

"Okay but even if the fans did want me," I said and gestured to the other girls, "they obviously don't."

"But that doesn't matter," Ally spoke. "None of us have spoken in years, but even if we do this, we should do it for the fans. They miss us. They miss Fifth Harmony. And we all know it. So even if we don't do it for each other, we should do it for them. I'm in," we all stared at her. Wow, she must have grown up a lot spiritually in these last few years.

Jeff smiled and looked at the rest of us expectantly.

"I'll do it," Normani said, "Got nothing better to do."

"Same here," Dinah shrugged, "I miss performing," she smiled. Now there was only me and Lauren left. The other four sat, waiting for our answers. I slowly turned my head to look at Lauren.

She was already staring at me, a small smirk in her face. We both just stared at each other like for a while, neither of us saying anything. She looked... angry? I couldn't blame her I guess, not after what I did.

"I'll also do it," I suddenly said and tore my brown eyes away from Laurens green ones. I had to make it better with her somehow.

"Lauren?" Jeff asked, "Come on. Please?" She turned to look at me again. She stared right into me, almost as if she were searching for the answer.

"So you think you can just come back and fix everything? You think you can just agree to be part of Fifth Harmony for a reunion and nothing will be wrong? That no one will be angry at you? That everyone will just forgive you? That I will just forgive you?" Lauren wasn't smiling anymore. She only stared at me, her eyes now empty.

I shook my head. I knew that was the right answer.

Lauren chuckled softly and shook her head too then stood up, "I'll do the tour, but this doesn't change anything. I don't forgive you Camila. I'll never forgive you Camila," and with that she walked out, not even stopping when Jeff called after her.
