*phone rings*

*phone continues to ring*

"Ugh! Damn it! Lauren answer your phone it's been ringing for god knows how long" An angry Dinah exclaimed from her bed, she was never really a morning person. Well considering that they're at the other side of the world she's not an afternoon person too.

"Who the hell would be calling me?! Damn it" Lauren slowly reached for her phone at the bedside table, she and Dinah agreed to share a room together while Normani and Ally shared another room. The four girls have been sharing rooms with each other ever since the Asian leg of their tour started; it was like a non-spoken agreement between all of them. They were sensitive at the moment scared to say the least. They were trying to understand each other even after four and a half years just to make sure that all of them were alright. 'Communication is key' the oldest Latina had told all of them at the start of the year. This year could make or break them; they need to pull their selves together even if it's at the cost of a lost member.

*phone continues to ring*

"Laureeen your phone!!" Dinah mumbled through her pillow, the Polynesian now had her head buried in the pillow. Lauren swiped the screen of the phone not bothering to look at the caller ID which she later regretted as she heard the voice of someone she wasn't ready to talk to.

"Lauren?" The voice at the other end sounded nervous, 'she should be' Lauren thought to herself as she sat up and rested her back against the head board.

"Lauren are you there? Hello?" The voice kept asking but Lauren stayed silent she didn't know what to say or at least she doesn't want to speak, knowing that she would probably explode from all the emotions she's feeling right now and not to mention being awaken from her lovely sleep.

The voice at the other end sighed obviously frustrated that the Latina had answered her call but isn't talking to her. But can she blame her? After what she had done, she knew the girls would like their time and space... Time and space away from her. She didn't know what she was doing before it was too late for her to realize the damage she caused, the pain she put everyone including her four former band mates through. Her four former best friends.

"Lauren please! I know your there, I mean you answered my call so you have to be there right?" Lauren couldn't help but giggle a bit, 'even now after four years she can still be this cute' she thought to herself but even though it brought back happy memories she was reminded of the painful ones too the ones she purposely avoids so that she could heal fast because as far as she knows she and the girls couldn't afford any more distractions.  Their full attention is needed for their sake.

"What do you want Camila?" at the mention of the name the Polynesian sat up from her bed, she was confused suddenly and then angry afterwards.

"Lauren you okay?" the poly asked as she approached the older girl slowly, she wasn't sure if talking to the person at the other end was good for her or for any of them at the moment. She knows they need to heal before anything else. This time it's their needs first not hers, not again. So she slowly sat down at the foot of the Latinas bed staring at her worriedly.

"Can we please talk?" The voice at the other end begged, Lauren had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. 'Now you want to talk' she thought to herself. She looked at Dinah and saw her motioning for her to hang up, she nodded her head and telling her to wait.

"it's too late...Goodbye Camz" she sighed and hanged up knowing that it's going to be a very bumpy road ahead of them. She chanced a look at Dinah again and saw that the Polynesian had a tear rolling down her cheek; she was surprised though when Dinah had reached up and wiped her cheek. She was crying as well.

"It's okay Laur, we're going to get through this okay? We're going to be alright all four of us!" Dinah then reached out and hugged her as they both continued sobbing. Even after 3 months it's still a sensitive subject for them. It wasn't supposed to be like this, they had expected it to happen but not like this not with everyone in pain.

"I know Dj but damn it's really hard" Lauren ran a hand through her hair when they broke the hug, she was feeling so much emotions running through her that caused her to get frustrated. She knows all of them needs a breather from everything that's happening around them.

"We just got to keep pushing alright ralph?" Lauren laughed at that, it's been long since Dinah had called her with that nickname. The two best friends looked up when they heard a knock at their door.

"Guys? You awake?" they heard Ally's small voice at the other side. Dinah got up and opened it for the small Latina, When she did though both Lauren and Dinah saw the red and puffy eyes on their small friends face and they hurriedly went to her side to guide Ally to Lauren's bed and sat her down. The shorter girl clung to both her friends' arms as she broke down.

"Ally what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Dinah was worried for the small girl as she knew Ally wouldn't cry that fast. She was the oldest of the group, the mother as they called her but for the past few months she had been fragile as the rest of them well not as fragile as Lauren. Dinah stared at her best friends as both were sobbing and she wondered what the hell they did to deserve this.

"I was on twitter and I saw a tweet and it's just been a bad day" Lauren hugged her even tighter she never liked it when the smaller latina was down, she never likes it when any of the other girls were sad.

"I told you to stop looking at them, let's just keep away from all those and enjoy the tour okay? For our happiness. This time it's all about the four of us" The three of them turned to the door when they heard Normani, She walked to them and pulled them all in a hug and they couldn't help the laughs that came out of them. No matter what happens, no matter if things don't go the way they planned they know that their friendship will never end it's a sisterhood that will last a lifetime. In this moment they know it's their time, it's their choices that matter, and it's their smiles that will keep each of them going. This bond is infinite and they're sure it's a forever kind of thing.
