Never Be the Same

----

It was the Jingle Ball. A year since she left.

Yet here she was, at a party celebrating Christmas with a bunch of famous artists. Honestly she never expected to be this loved after she left.

It was crazy. The past year had been crazy.

But things were going her way for once; an album set for release in early 2018, a number one song, a supporting tour gig already done. It was all falling into place.

Well... almost everything was falling into place. The only thing she couldn't get right was something in her mind. A longing as it were.

Like an ever growing pounding at the back of her skull. She could feel it pulsing through her veins. Chemicals. Chemicals of a missed chance and a lost love.

Now everything was red, the champagne in her hand not the only thing keeping her intoxicated.

Not since she noticed them here.

Them.

Her.

Not since she noticed her here.

Her vision blurred at the edges, making her head swim, the chemicals in her bloodstream boiling under her skin. It was all too much yet not enough at the same time.

She was an addict and god damn did she want her.

Camila felt a hand clap her on the back.

"Hey there my beautiful Havana." A deep voice laughed as his hand left her back and plucked the glass from her fingers cheekily.

Camila laughed and shook her head.

"You gonna say that to me every time we meet? All we did was a remix." Camila pointed out. The artist in question - Daddy Yankee - winked and handed back the glass, considerably less drink than when he borrowed it.

His eyes strayed over Camila's shoulder and smiled to himself before leaning closer to Camila's ear.

"Your little green eyed love is eyeing you." He whispered. Camila's shoulders tensed, her breath caught in her throat.

"She's not my-"

"Looks like she might come this way." He cut off whatever excuse Camila was going to say and her eyes grew wide.

Camila cleared her throat, flipping her hair over her shoulder and glancing in her direction; over the dancing crowd, spotting dark hair and dark eyes next to the bar, half listening to the girls talk.

She saw the moment Lauren noticed her, the drink in her hand jolting with her surprise, some of it sloshing over the side and dripping onto the floor.

Camila had intended to quickly glance over at Lauren, in pretence of fixing her hair, but all that flew out the window the second those green eyes locked onto hers.

Suddenly she was a fiend... huh that seems familiar. Camila pushed her own lyrics from her head.

It's not about Lauren. That song never was. Ever.

But God all she needed was Lauren.

It's strange how it all comes down to Lauren in the end.

Camila couldn't possibly look away as Lauren weaved through the crowd, inevitably getting dragged into a dance by Halsey, a hand shooting out from the dancing throng and diverting Lauren's attention.

Camila watched as Lauren reluctantly danced with Halsey, her eyes barely straying from Camila.

God Camila forgot about her dancing. Just the way she moved was electric, sending shivers down her spine. She was so focused on Lauren she barely heard Dinah, Ally and Normani coming to join her small group of friends, talking and joking with them while Camila was in her daze.
