Lauren's POV

It's now my time to leave this hospital and go back to my own home. I've been staying in the hospital for 2 weeks since i woke up from my comatose. Camila never left me and so did Ally. They were the ones who never got tired of me for the past 2 weeks.

"Hey baby, you ready?" Camila said then held my hand. I was standing in the mirror inside the bathroom that was inside my room. I can see my mom and dad fixing the things that they brought here in the hospital.

"Yeah." I smiled at  Camila and intertwined our fingers together. Since the day i woke up, she's been explaining to me the lifestyle that i have. She said that i am a famous singer that is in a girl group called Fifth Harmony. Her, Dinah, Normani, Ally and I are Fifth Harmony. She also told me that we were called as "Camren" by our fans. A lot of people ship us together and it made me smile that a lot has accepted me for having a girlfriend.

Once my mom was done picking all the things that was on the hospital, i saw Ally packing up all the gifts that were given to me by the fans. She has her hair down and she's just wearing short shorts, boots and a crop top. She has her make up on. She looks so beautiful right now.

"... then after that if you want we can have dinner." I heard Camila say but i didn't caught the first one that she said.

"Wait, what? I'm sorry baby i zoned off. I'm just trying to, you know, cope up." I said and smiled at her.

"It's fine baby. Anyway, i said that we are gonna have a meeting right now with Simon Cowell. Fifth Harmony will have a meeting on about the upcoming tour. Then i though since we're gonna end up late again, we can have dinner outside. If you want." Camila explained again and i smiled at her.

"W-well. C-can Ally be there too?" I asked and i heard her gasp a little. She composed herself again then smiled at me.

"Of course. Why don't you ask her? I'm just gonna help Clara put some stuff in the car."

"Oh okay." I said then walked over to Ally who was putting all the gifts given to me inside a box.

"Hey!" I said then she looked at me. I almost zoned off again the moment she smiled at me. Her smile can swoon any man or woman here in the place. I can look at her all day but then i remembered i have to ask her something.

"Lauren?" Ally waved her hands in front of me and i looked at her. I don't know why i did my next move but i really feel like i had to do it.

I hugged her. Tight.

She put her hands around my neck and i wrapped my hands around her waist. I heard her sniff and that is the moment i realize that she is crying.

I pulled away and looked at her straight in the eye. A lot of things are going inside my mind whenever i look at her. It's like, memories try to free themselves from the cage that they are in inside my brain.

I just wiped the tears that is streaming down her face and kissed her forehead. Why am i doing this? Fuck i have a girlfriend and it's Camila.

"I- I'm sorry Ally. I -- um.. I just want to ask if you wanna go out on a dinner with me and Camila after the meeting?" I said and she smiled at me.

She wiped the remaining tears on her face and nodded her head.

"Yes, of course Lolo. I'll be glad to." She said then continued on putting the gifts inside the box.

I walked outside my hospital room and saw Camila outside.

"H-hey. How long have you been there?" I said and hugged her tight.

"I was just about to come inside to pick up the box of gifts that you have. Are you okay Lauren?" Camila said and i nodded my head. Right after that, Ally walked out the hospital room carrying the box of gifts that i have.

"Here, let me help you." I said then snatched the box from her. My fingertips touched her when she is passing the box into me and i felt electricity going through my spinal cord.

"Let's go. We're gonna be late." Camila said then let me walk first with her on my side and Ally trailing behind us.

-----

We're sitting at Simon's office right now waiting for him to arrive.

The sitting goes from left to right were Ally, Dinah, Normani, Camila then me. We were seated in a semi circle couch. It gives me more access to look at Ally. She has her head bowed down and she isn't talking to anyone since we arrived.

"Lauren, are you okay?" Normani asked me.

"Yeah of course. Is Ally okay though?" I asked and i heard Camila groan.

"Babe, stop worrying about Ally for just 5 minutes okay?" She snapped at me and i just looked at her. I saw Ally look at her too with anger in her eyes. She balled her fist then tried to calm herself down by tapping her foot on the ground.

"Im sorry." I said when minutes had already pass and Camila is still not talking to me.

"It's fine babe. I'm sorry if i snapped. I just got jealous. That's all." Camila said and i smiled at her. I cupped her right cheek then kissed her forehead. After that, my eyes met Ally again and i saw her wiping her eyes. She's crying again. And i don't even know why.

"Good afternoon girls!" A man wearing white t-shirt and pants came busting through the door and sat on the seat behind the wide glass table. Must be Simon.

"How are you Lauren?" He looked at me then asked.

"Still clueless about everything but i've been better. I got my girlfriend Camila here and my friends so im good." I said and he nodded.

"Well, your popularity increased since Camren popped out of nowhere. A lot of fans shipped the both of you so keep up the good work." Simon said.

"It's okay smallz." I heard Dinah whisper.

"U-um Simon? I think i should go. I've got a bad cold and i think i have a fever." Ally stood up and Simon nodded his head for approval. Ally smiled then said goodbye to all of us. Well, except for me.

"So, you're gonna start a tour. Here are the cities that you're about to go to. I think the tickets would still be sold out since your fanbase grew more because of Camren right here." Simon said while he's browsing to a bunch of papers.

"Ah! I want to ask you if this track list is okay? You've got your new and some of the old songs in there. Since you didn't finish recording your new songs, the finished ones were in there then i put some songs from Reflection and Better Together. And i put Ally's solo song in there too. You all can put your own song too if you want so you all can perform individually while the others listen or rest on the stage." Simon instructed then handed the four of us a piece of paper.

I scanned through the paper, reading the songs that we're gonna perform. I don't remember these songs but if i really am a great singer then this should be easy. Then my eyes stayed on one specific song that was written in the paper.

Gonna Get Better - Ally Brooke

My heart sped a little bit. I know this song. I think i've heard if before. But i don't remember where. And i'm not sure if this is really it. But it's familiar. It really is.

Thank you for being patient 😢
