Normani and Lauren were childhood friends and they split up from the outcome of suddenly going to different colleges. They meet again now that they're famous and old feelings come back.
My leg bounces as my nerves increase more and more by the minute. After the next performance it'll be mine and I'm an excited, nervous mess.
"You're gonna do great Lauren" Zara says, lightly squeezing my shoulder
"It's gonna be epic" Tori chimes in
I smile and relax more as the announcer announces the next performer.
"Performing her debut single, Big Bad Wolf, here is Normani Kordei!"
"Wait what?" I ask breathlessly
"That's your old friend right?" Quincy asks
"Yea, oh my gosh it's been forever" Justin mumbles
The stage light comes on and there she is, still as beautiful as ever. The music starts and backup dancers start walking forward as her soft, soulful, loving voice comes through the speakers.
Kiss for a kiss, my two lips got you racing Baby we're guilty, wherever we are Angel confess, let me be your salvation I'll carry you through the dark Let me give, let me give you something to believe in You don't gotta, you don't gotta even have a reason You can love me, you can love me baby all weekend Come on, come on over here and sink your teeth in
Her body follows to the beat so freely and majestically as I remember it. I start silently crying and Justin grabs my hand in a comforting way.
"It's really her Lo" He says
Howling blares through the speakers as she walks across the stage, our eyes lock and I notice her body tense up. She looks away and walks faster, making sure to catch her cue.
Mickey comes up to me and starts directing me to my dressing room.
"Mickey that's her" I cry
"I know Lauren, I set this up" He says
He explains what happened and I hug him tightly.
"No time for affection, you need to get ready quick" He says
Within minutes everything is done and I'm ready to go.

We get into a Prayer circle then I start making my way to the stage. NEEEERRRRVVVEEESSS.
As the performance goes on, my worries diminish and I move my body more freely with the backup dancers. Tyga comes out and the audience intensifies. He starts walking towards me and we hype each other up.
Uh, T-Raw on fire, if you're looking for that fly love, I'm your number one supplier Wanna try it, buy it, you wanna ride with the hottest in the city, set your heart on fire Yeah I do it it, I do it, do it, ain't nothin' to it, if you with it, I know she with it, so come and do it Got that pretty, that pretty pretty, you're so sidity, like Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, you stay winning Top down ridin', I'm Big Papa She love when I fly it, Lambo pilot Hop inside it, sit on my lap, angel body I'm a King, need a Goddess, gotta love it
"Your loving takes me higher, you set my heart on fire, when you touch my body got me singing like Mariah" I end with a smile
My smile widens at the amount of applause and I give Tyga a hug before getting off the stage.
"Mickey! Mickey!" I call out
"I'm right here" He chuckles
Justin comes up to us with a smile on his face.
"That was EPIC! DESTROYED!" He grins
"Thanks Jus" I smile while hugging him
"Can I see her too?" He asks
I nod my head and we follow Mickey to her dressing room. I hear my heart thump loudly and feel my blood rush through my veins with each step I take. God really brought us back together, MY HEART IS THUMPING.
Mickey opens the door and I signal for Justin to walk in ahead of me.
"OH MY GOSH JUSTIN!" She screams while running to him
"How have you been, oh shit time has passed, congrats on everything!" She smiles
"Same to you, you fucking demolished it out there, and I've been good" He says
"It's so good seeing you again Mani" He adds
They exchange numbers then he looks over his shoulder to me.
"Ima let y'all have y'all own moment" He says, following Mickey out the door
A wide grin spreads across her tear stained face and she opens her arms. I run towards her and jump onto her, she wraps her and around my waist tightly while mine go around her neck. I cry into the crook of her neck and pull myself closer to her.
"It's really you" She sobs
"I missed you more than words can explain" I mumble
We stay like this for a few more minutes in silence before she breaks it.
"You did amazing, we made it Laurenza"
