"Okay LANGUAGE FOLKS!" Ally screams stopping the speaking...

Well she stopped all the speaking except for the last three words that came out of my mouth

"I-"

"Ooooohhhh shit" Ryan whisper shouts once everyone finally acknowledges me and Lauren's conversation

It was the silent. We all just stared at each other for nothing less that five seconds until-

"WERE HERE" the driver yells as he stops the car

"... uh, let's go guys" Ruth says as she motions for us to exit the car

We had ordered our food and were sat around the table.

"So seriously guys... what are we naming this group chat cause-" Jai says

"I'll be right back" I say walking toward the bathrooms

It had been a long and uncomfortable 15 minutes and all I wanted was to get out of it.

As I walked into the bathroom I took a much needed breath of fresh air.

"Hey"

I hear someone say and as I turn around I see exactly who it is

"Hey" I say turning back to the mirror

"So... you love?" She asks walking closer to me

I turn back around facing her succumbing to every emotion I was feeling

"Lauren....  I knew the second we left. I knew the second you walked out of my life. I think I've always known" I say

"Known wh-" she says

I was so panicked I forgot to finish what I said earlier

"I hate myself for hurting you. I hate myself for being scared. You didn't deserve any of that and I wish I could fix it but I can't and that kills me" I say cutting her off

"Ok but-"

"No! Now we're about to tour the world together and all I want to do is hold you again but I can't. All I want is for you not to hate me. I just miss you and I-" I say before she cuts me off

"Shut up!" She says. "Just shut up" She says not breaking her gaze into my eyes but, that was shortly interrupted by someone entering the bathroom

"Is every ok is here ladies?" The women asks

"Yeah" Lauren says before walking out with me following shortly behind her

•••

"Where have you guys been, the foods here?" Jai asks

"Bathroom" I say

"Both of you?" Normani asks

"Yep!" I say

"Well ok cool...." Ryan says nonchalantly grabbing his phone

Eventually, they were all doing something on their phones at the exact same time

"Oh my God guys get tf off of that group shit chat shit and eat your damn food" Lauren says

"I like it, group shit chat" Ryan says

"Yeah clean and simple" Dinah says

"It still has a bad word in it..." Ally says

"It'll be fine Ally, it'll be fine" Jai says patting Ally's back

"You guys are the worst" I say

It was now night time and we all decided to light a fire pit on the beach and just catch up.

"Lauren No! How tf did you manage to do that!" I see Ryan say to Lauren

They had seemed super close. Almost like they had been talking for years.

"I can and I did" Lauren says making both her and Ryan laugh

Right next to them was Jai, Ally and Dinah

"Jai, stop changing the group chat name!" Dinah says

"I like shittalkers" Jai says

"I don't care!" Dinah says

And Normani, Ruth and I were talking about something. I wasn't too sure because I wasn't really listening to our conversation. I was to busy staring at my best friend and the person I was in love with laughing there asses off.

"Hey, go talk to her" Normani suggests

"What?" I say coming out of my gaze

"Lauren. Go talk to her" She emphasizes

"Good luck getting that to happen" Ruth says

"What? Im gonna talk to her... eventually" I say

"Yeah but not here. Not in front of all of us" She says

And she was right. I wasn't much of a confrontational person.

"I will... later" I say

"Hey Guys let's play a game!" Ryan yells
