It's Always You

48

Double update ;o

Normani's POV

Lauren Jauregui.

Judged by everyone, known by few, my best friend. My high as fuck best friend.

I guess you could say when things get crazy or beyond Lauren's control she likes to have a temporary slice of amnesia? And here it is, in full swing, I'm sure the way she is right now isn't down to this terrible collection of weed we're currently smoking, she's out of all her good stuff, I think that's my fault? She probably doesn't know that.

She's off her rocker, another level of high, usually she mellows out, speaks a load of crap, but right now she's literally rocking and rambling.

"You know Mannequin, I'm glad you've joined me on this conquest" Lauren patted my head harshly as she lit up again, four. Conquest? She's losing it.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I quizzed shoving her hand off of me, I could feel my eyes getting heavier with each drag I took "And stop calling me Mannequin"

"Oh touchy, what did you do to Dinahsaur?" Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked down at the burning paper in her hand, messed up Lauren was always more adorable than your everyday Lauren, her question hit me hard. Had I done something to Dinah? I don't know, she went off on her adventure with Mila and we sort of lost communication, so we're both to blame, but when she decided to message me to explain the lack of trying I shut her down, stupid old me.

"Where did that come from?"

"She's sad, I saw her yesterday, I wanted to get her to tell me where she left Camz but then she just cried you know? And she doesn't cry, at least I've never seen it, oh except that one time Ally hit her with that baseball bat but that ended bad for Ally anyways, and I don't think those were real tears, just a watery eye? You know what I mean?" Laurens face lit up and fell within seconds, the though of Dinah crying because of me? No. We need to sort it out.

But I can't leave Lauren in this state, I mean I could, but I'd miss the comedy gold.

Allys POV

Babysitting. Is this a joke? So help me Lord.

Its not a joke.

"Hello bubbles" Lauren squeaked from Manis grip. Her black hair up in a messy bun, her The 1975 t-shirt had what looked like spaghetti down it, charming, always attractive is Lauren, and she was wearing some sweats.

"You said she was basically out of it, she looks like she's about to chase down batman in her fucking joker mobile, after snorting a million lines of coke" I whisper shouted to Normani, kind of feeling bad for the third girl here.

"Batman!" Lauren squealed as Normani passed her to me.

"Joker mobile? What is wrong with you? She can't drive in this state"

"Are you joking right now? Did those words actually just leave your mouth?" I quizzed with my eyebrow raised as Normani made her way down the steps of Laurens home.

"I just- Sometimes when things are-" I held my free hand up to interrupt.

"Just go, and yes I'll keep you posted" Normani practically ran out of Laurens gates, leaving her car behind, smart.

Keeping Normani posted for Laurens benefit? No, for Normanis twisted need to have a one up over Lauren.

Its gonna be a long night.
