All Night

Prompt: All Night by Steve Aoki ft. Lauren Jauregui

Damn, it was over. Her audition for X Factor completely done. Lauren couldn't believe it.

It was all over so quickly. She barely remembered singing, but hey she must've done because now she was leaving. Well, leaving that room and joining the others in the main hall.

She was just walking out when she looked up from her shoes, eyes surfing through the crowd to see if her family was nearby when she accidentally made eye contact with another competitor.

In fact, this girl was adorable. In a quirky kind of way. But Lauren could just tell if she was this gorgeous now, then holy cow she was going to be beautiful.

Lauren couldn't figure out why her heart skipped when the girl grinned at her; so bright and hypnotising. Lauren didn't even realise she'd stopped walking until the girl was weaving through the crowd and stopped in front of her. Paralysed by this girl, she just couldn't help herself.

"I like your shirt." She said chipperly, smile wide and eyes shining with nerves and friendliness.

"Thanks." Lauren stuttered out after just staring at the girl for a few seconds.

Before the girl could say anymore she was grabbed by one of the competition's officials and guided towards the audition room. Lauren watched the girl go. She smiled when the small brunette waved over her shoulder at her.

Lauren found herself thinking about that girl often over the next few days. Then days drifted into weeks and Lauren found herself growing closer to her.

Camila Cabello was her name. They'd stumbled into each other again at the bootcamp stage and had kind of bonded over being Cuban. So that was nice.

Yet Lauren just couldn't wrap her head around these feelings in her heart; little fluttering butterflies in her stomach and a skipping sensation in her heart.

Camila just stumbled into her life, literally, she did trip when they met at bootcamp. Messed up that perfect little routine of life Lauren had before X Factor.

She was a surprise. And honestly Lauren really liked her.

As a friend.

Best friend.

Lauren had an inkling though. About Camila. Specifically Camila having a crush on her. Well Dinah may have accidentally mentioned it one night when they'd snuck off to share a bottle of something potent and alcoholic on their last night at bootcamp.

But Lauren couldn't cope. Not with those butterflies. And definitely not on top of the competition. She could wait. Wait until this was all over.

So, it was all over. Yet it was only just beginning at the same time. It was a paradox that Lauren was still struggling with.

Fifth Harmony. Lauren was in a girl group. And had a career. It was overwhelming. Hence why she hadn't opened the box of emotions sitting at the bottom of her heart anytime she looked at Camila.

It was dangerous now. They had to perform their first few shows as a band and Lauren just couldn't look into Camila's chocolatey brown eyes. They were too good to look away from. And Lauren did not need to be dazed on stage.

Except something pushed her to examine that box.

Camren.

It rose from the fandom with power and proof and Lauren was stuck. If she actually opened that box fully then all her stupid hopes would tumble out and she'd be a love sick puppy for her best friend.
