Do you miss it

Communication Is Key

Dinah's POV

It's been a few days since we ran into Camila and let's just say the others aren't too keen to the idea of forgiving Camila. They feel betrayed and I can't blame them. We all tried to help Camila despite what she believes. Let me explain.

She didn't like opening up to us. I lost count of the times where Camila would be upset or annoyed and we would try talking to her. I honestly don't think she saw what she was doing. She spent years shutting us out. Eventually the others got tired of asking the same questions and getting pushed away.

I kept trying. Until I got tired of it to after that one time.

"How do you expect us to help you if you keep ignoring our help!" I yelled, getting frustrated. Camila and I have been talking in our hotel room for at least a half hour and so far all I keep getting is her attitude.

"Help" Camila scoffed to no one particular. "We don't have to even try to help you if we didn't want to" I scoffed back. I'm tired of putting so much effort in trying to help when I get repaid with nothing but a poor attitude and disrespect.

"I didn't know that acting like my feelings and thoughts are irrelevant was help" Camila mumbled as she played with her bracelet. "No one does that" I mumbled as I pulled at the threads on my shorts.

"You think I don't see all the videos? You think I don't see the way you and the others look at me when I talk about anything from solo music to Taylor?" Camila snickered in an annoyed tone. "Nothing about that is helping Dinah. Sorry to inform you" Camila mumbled as she rolled over on her bed to get her phone.

"Maybe you wouldn't be getting looks if you weren't always going behind our backs and acting like we haven't been here for you" I told her making her put her phone down and making eye contact with me for the first time since we started this conversation.

"Oh that's the problem. I've been going behind your backs this whole time right?" Camila laughed looking at me. "Yeah most people in a group wouldn't go off and make a solo song without acknowledging their band mates" I told her what I was thinking. 

"So that explains why you girls couldn't care less about me" Camila said as she got up and started to put on her shoes. "Good to fucking know" She mumbled as she made her way towards the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked as I rolled my eyes. This is what Camila does. We try to help, she gets mad, we get mad, she leaves. It's been this process for months now. I love Camila but a person can only take so much of this before they get tired. Can you blame me.

"Don't worry about it. It's not like you really care anyway" Camila said to me as she was grabbing her jacket. "This is the stuff that makes us not want to help you" I mumbled as she huffed before looking at me.

"Then stop. Stop trying to help me and saying you care when you sit there and agree with all the bad things they say about me. They hate me already right? Just save yourself a bunch of time and join their little group. Or better yet save me from the annoyance of going through your little 'therapy sessions with Dinah Jane'. You cant fix everything" 

Camila told me before snatching the door open and leaving.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Ally calling my name. We're at MTV news to talk about the Down and stuff of course. The girls and I make our way in and take our seats and soon the interview begins.

We're almost done the interview when the interviewer asks us our last question. "So what is the importance of girl groups today?" She asked us. First Ally got to speak, then Mani, then Lauren, and then there was me.

I thought now was a good time to mention how important communication is.

Of course I was going off of what happened with Camila. It's the truth in the end. Communication is key and it was just something we struggled with when we needed it the most. All we can do now is live and see what happens.
