Lauren's POV

I glare at Y/N for a split second before turning off speakerphone on the call from my mother.

"Hi mom." I say nonchalantly.

"Don't 'Hi mom' me! When were you going to tell me you had a girlfriend?" She asks, catching me off guard.

"I'm sorry? Who told you that?" I ask. Mom laughs from the other end of the line.

"Why it's all over the news!" She says, and my eyes go wide. Shit!

"She's not my girlfriend, yet

"She's not my girlfriend, yet." I say, whispering the last part. I shoot a quick glance around the car, noticing Y/N's eyes focused on me, her head cocked. For some reason, I suddenly tense up.

"Right, can we meet her sometime? I'd like to meet this girl who made my daughter go head over heels for her." Mom says.

"Um, I don't know. I'll have to ask her." I say.

"Why don't you as-" I quickly interrupt her.

"Mom, I really have to go right now. I promise I'll ask her tonight, alright?" I ask.

"Okay, take care sweetie!"

"You too!" I say, ending the call. As I lift the phone away from my ear, I feel Y/N lay her head on my shoulder, sending sparks flying through my body. I quickly pull up my web browser, searching for the local news.

Fifth Harmony Star Lauren Jauregui spotted in her hometown Miami! Singer reportedly getting touchy with a'friend'? More details below!

I didn't mean for this to happen; I mean, I'm supposed to be the one protecting her here! How will she react to this? Ugh, she'll probably hate for this. I use my left hand, and gently poke Y/N's stomach.

"What's up Lo?" She asks.

"You might want to see this." I say, handing her the phone, waiting for her reaction. Surprisingly, she was rather calm about it.

"Looks like we were caught, huh?" She asks, causing me to look down at the floor.

"Uh, yeah." I reply.

" I was somewhat expecting this, I suppose. I mean, you are THE Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony." She says. I nod, simply stroking her long, beautiful hair.

"But the way I see it, you're just a regular girl with tremendous talent. I see you as a normal person, not as this huge celebrity, because that's what you are to me, an awesome friend." She says, making me blush. I couldn't help but smile widely, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you for understanding. I really appreciate what you just said. It hits home harder than you might think. A lot of people treat me as some sort of goddess, you know? But, you're absolutely right, that's not who I am. I am Lauren Jauregui, an average dorky girl who never graduated High School but fell in love with music. Although I'm not as dorky as Camz over there." I say, causing Camz to give a death glare.
