Dressing Room

Part 3

Laurens POV

"Hey Lauren are you Ok? Hey talk to me?"

I looked up tears stinging my eyes and saw Halsey. A wave of relief washed over me as I pushed her back into the bathroom with me. Luckily it was just us in here.

"Sorry I didn't mean to run into you like that. I wasn't thinking straight."

"Hey it's ok but what's up. You look like you're about to cry."

"Camila" is all I managed to say before I started to cry. All the anger in me suddenly turned into frustration and then sadness and I just stood there and sobbed.

Halsey was the one person who understood me. She'd already sat through hours of my thoughts and feelings. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in close.

After what seemed like a lifetime I pulled away and looked into the nearest mirror. I was a mess and I had less than 20 mins until we had to perform. Halsey luckily had a plan. We quickly touched up what we could of my makeup and headed out of the bathroom.

I appreciated the fact that I didn't even need to explain myself to Halsey. She just knew. She took me down the hall to her room and got her team to finish fixing me up ready to go back towards the stage.

Camila's POV

I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my body. The crowd tonight had sung every word to my songs, I'd not felt this good in a long time.

Coming off stage I ran into Demi. "Hey!!! I didn't know you had arrived." I said as she gave me a hug.

"I came to do a meet and greet. I just checked out your set. You were amazing Camila. I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks, that really means a lot after everything this year. I'm super excited to get my album finally out to everyone."

"I bumped into Lauren earlier... I know you probably don't want to talk about it now. But I'm here if you do, alright?"

"Thanks Demi. Things are so far so good it's just hard y'know?"

"I get it just dont let it get you down. I'm sure you two can work it out eventually. You were practically inseparable for 5 years, that doesn't just go away."

"I guess... we will just have to see how it goes." I gave her another quick hug and headed back off to my dressing room.

Laurens POV

Singing on stage with Halsey always calmed me down. She had this great energy about her which I could easy feed of. I left the stage feeling high. I knew now I'd been on stage Twitter would be going nuts. I took my phone out and had a brief flick through my timeline. Camren was currently trending...fuck. This wasn't going to help.

I was half way through a Twitter rant about it when I stopped and realised that the more fuel I add to the fire the bigger the fires going to get. I deleted my tweet and switched off my phone.

Tonight, there was only one person I needed to talk to.

Backstage was now a lot quieter a lot of the earlier acts had come and gone. Once again I found myself staring at the grey door to the dressing room. C'mon I quietly told myself you can do this.

Camila's POV

I had been sat staring at the wall for what felt hours. I knew Camren was trending on Twitter so I was expecting Lauren to come back in a foul mood. What was I even still doing here? I could of left straight from my set. Cursing at myself under my breath I got up to get my things. I needed to leave.
