•••

We had all taken our showers and while everyone was getting their beds done I decided to go and get my pillow from Danny and put it in my bunk

"Umm... What are you doing?" Lauren asks me

"Putting my pillow in my bunk?" I say confused

"Funny,You mean my pillow?" Lauren says

"No... I mean the pillow that I asked Chris to ask Danny to get me" I say

"No... you mean the pillow that I asked max to ask Danny to get me" she says

"Well shit" Ryan says

"It was such a good day" Jai says

"GIVE ME MY PILLOW Y/N!" Lauren yells

"THIS. IS. MINE!" I yell back

"Are you filming this?" Dinah asks

"Of course!" Normani says

"Thank God" Ruth says

"Mani your the og" Ryan says

"I know" Normani says

And while they were congratulating Normani on filming this mess, me and Lauren were playing tug of war with a pillow

"LET GO!" I yell

"HELL NO!" Lauren yells

"Guys please shut up and go to bed" Ally says

"Ok this was fun like 5 minutes ago but now, I just want sleep" Dinah says

"LAUREN THIS IS LITERALLY MY PILLOW GET AWAY!" I yell

"LIKE HELL IT IS!" She yells back

"Someone please shut them up" Jai says

"I CANT SLEEP WITH ONE PILLOW I NEED THIS!" I yell

"ME EITHER, YOU ARENT SPECIAL!" She yells back

"Ha good luck" Ruth says

"WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING-" I yell before Ally snatches the pillow away from both of us "HEY WTF!"

"You two are getting on my last nerve! Here!" She says as she pushes us both into my bunk

"If neither of you want to give up the pillow, you're both gonna share it!" Ally says

"No I'm not." Lauren says attempting to exit the bunk

"What did I just say." Ally says pushing Lauren back into the bunk and closing the curtain

"Damn Thanks momma Ally" Ruth says

"Ally saves us yay!" Dinah says

"Ally you are my hero" Ryan says

"I hate them" Lauren says

"Scoot you fat ass head over" I say pulling the pillow towards me

"Bitch please" she says pulling it towards her

"If you really think that I'm about to allow-"

"Do you really want to finish that sentence" she interrupts

"-that I'm about to allow you to have more pillow than me." I say turning to face her

"Hey wtf are you doing?! Turn back around" she says

"No! You get more pillow facing this way so I'm facing this way!" I say

"My face is this way!" She says

"I don't give a fuck" I say

"...Whatever me either." She says

"Whatever." I say back

Now here we are, face to face, and here those emotions come.

"What?" Lauren says

I was staring at her, I couldn't help it. She was so close and there was only one thing on my mind.

"What!? Umm nothing" I say

"Why are you staring at me?" She asks

"I'm not" I say

"I clearly felt you staring at me y/n." She says

"I literally opened my eyes for a second" I lie

"Whatever." She says as she closes her eyes once again

"Whatever" I say back as I stare at her once again

"... y/n what-" she says

And the minute I hear her speak I press my lips against hers. She denied me at first but, after a second or two our lips were in sync.

"... I'm sorry-" I say as I pull away from her

"-No" She says reconnecting our lips and pulling me into her embrace

Then my body goes stiff.

"What's wrong?" She asks

"Nothing" I say as I turn my body away from her and face the other way once more. "I'm tired" I say

In reality I wasn't tired, I was more awake than I ever was. That kiss made me realize that no matter what I did, I couldn't not want to kiss her. I wanted to kiss her, a girl, a female, a women... and I couldn't force myself to be something that I wasn't, not for my parents, not for my family, and most definitely not for myself.

That moment opened my eyes to a scary but, important decision I had to make. I had to choose between my family and her. I knew my family would love and kind of accept me but, their eyes would forever see me different.

"You're tired?" She asks

"Yeah..." I say

"Okay... goodnight?" She says also turning the other way

"... y/n what do you want from me because I'm not-" she sits up and starts to say

"Cuddle me" I say turning to lay on my back while looking up into her eyes

"What?" She says

"I want you" I say

"You want me? ...To cuddle you?" she says

"Lauren come here" I say pulling her arm around me

And as I felt her arm wrap around my waste and her head nuzzle into the back of my neck I felt both content and scared at the same time but, everything was finally so clear. I had to choose between her and having my family never look at me the same way,

I chose her.
