Lauren's POV

My break ends and I stand back in position with the background dancers. The song plays throughout the dance studio and we start the choreography for the pre chorus and chorus.

You got me humming, humming to the beat of the drum
To the rhythm, rhythm, yeah, yeah
Your loving takes me higher, you set my heart on fire
When you touch my body got me singing like Mariah
There is no denying, your kisses keep me flying
When you touch by body got me singing like Mariah

A few more run throughs and we wrap everything up for the day. My single has been out for a little over a month and it's been doing amazing! I performed it a few times on whatever talk shows I did but my first BIG, MAINSTREAM performance is coming up on the American Music Awards in a couple of days. It's nerve racking but also very exciting.

Walking out, I call my friend Justin. Justin went to school with me and Normani up until 7th grade, when he started his career. During my freshman year in college he did a show at the school and we reconnected then.

"Hey there"

"Hey, I'm on my way and I'm getting food"

"Ooooh, two boxes of Pizza, your choice"

"Alright, don't pull that hiding shit Justin, your house is too big to try to look for your ass"

"HAAAHAHA! Fuck that's funny"

"Pull that shit and I'm taking the pizza into the room with me"

"Ima still get some"

"I'm hiding it"

"You're cruel Jauregui"

"See you soon Bieber"

I disconnect the call and place the order, driving towards the restaurant I shake my head in amusement at how my life has been.

When I graduated, I moved to LA to stay with Justin temporarily. I plan on moving to NY once more things fall into place, since most of my schedule will require places located over there. Florida was not the place for me, my college friends moved to either LA or NY too so Florida was gonna be lonely. My parents are still over here with my Aunt but I want my privacy and they'll be going back to Houston soon.

My friends Tori and Zara graduated a year before me and started their singing careers. My other friend Quincy graduated when I did and he's been doing big acting since he was in the college with music on the side. Being that his dad is as big of a person in the industry overall, I definitely had to show him that the friendship is genuine.

With time I got over Normani to an extent for the sake of my mental and emotional health. Although, I know if I was to see her and hear her say she was still somewhat in love with me I would drop everything for her. I miss her more and more everyday though.

Arriving at the house, I grab the food and enter the house, seeing Justin in the kitchen.

"I see you're not in hiding" I smirk

We take the pizza into the movie room and start deciding what to watch.

"We're watching the original spongebob movie" I say
