Once everyone returned to LA a rush of activity ensued. There were meetings with the management team and label of Fifth Harmony, plus the overwhelming number of magazines and TV programs attempting to get the girls interviewed before the start of the new year. The four girls also had to prepare for the Christmas celebration they were hosting on Christmas Eve, which was less than a month away. They were busy, but they were happy to see Willa was keeping up just fine.
Currently, they were sat in another meeting. This was the fifth one in three days, and mind you, they weren't short. It had to be two hours in when something in the conversation caught Lauren's attention.
"Alright, so we're thinking an album drop before the start of the summer and then a four-continent tour between the months of June and February 2019 would be good," Joe, one of the Epic managers stated, looking to Veronica and Will who nodded in agreement
"That's a bit much," Lauren said. Despite the group having done something similar before with a tour between South America, North America, Europe, and Asia for 7/27, it was a lot to keep up with and the new mother now had her child to consider.
"You will, of course, have a month break between each tour."
"Yeah, but we managed to drop an album and tour a few places until the end of summer."
"And the amount of money coming in was very little compared to the album before. Yes, you ladies made new hits and have beat various records made by 7/27, but the touring simply wasn't enough. You need more and you need it now."
"Is this in comparison to something?" Ally asked, confused as to why a decrease in money was a concern between albums. They both sold almost the same amount of downloads and copies, and they were all aware that the amount of tour time was less, but why would that matter?
Joe sighed and glanced at the rest of the 5H team before looking at his notes and saying, "Camila is still touring and has racked up far more revenue and fan base because of her worldwide endeavors."
"She's a solo artist. She is one person working on her own schedule. We're four girls with four different lives and four different needs. We can't just give up everything and go global with our performances," Lauren said, shaking her head at the ridiculous comparison.
"She hosted a concert in India," Veronica deadpanned.
"So what, we have to copy her and go to India because she's doing it? We're not Camila and we most certainly do not need her to be successful in this industry."
"Lo, just hear them out for a minute," Normani said, the thought of not being as big as they once were not settling well with her.
"No Normani, we can't afford to commit to such a long tour."
"We can't commit or you can't commit?" Normani asked, making the room fall silent.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lauren asked, grasping what her friend was alluding to.
The darker woman sighed, glancing to the child sat on the couch with large headphones over her ears as she played something on an iPad.
"You have Willa now. The only reason you can't commit to it is because she's in the picture and will have to come with us everywhere."
"I'm not going to listen to this," Lauren finally said, shaking her head and moving to stand up.
"Don't act irrationally," Ally pleaded, making the Latina freeze mid-rise. "Normani didn't say anything to be mean, and we're not blaming you or Willa for anything. It's just a fact that this kind of tour is only an issue because there is a young child involved."
