Lauren.

I was kinda shy back in the day. Shocker huh? Now these days you give me something to defend or argue and I can't shut up ha. Being in this group made me come out of my shell and fight for my opinions. The one thing that I have always have been for as long I could remember was that I was thankful for the things I had and have. My parents always talked about gratitude, appreciation, thankful, and care for the things, and people you have met. Be polite. Treat people as you wanted to be treated like.

From the moment I laid eyes on Allyson, I have always been thankful for the light and her kindness in my life. Her laugh can make me laugh wherever we are.  She would look to find me if we are at events or even on the bus.  Being her best friend, is always grateful but the best thing is being her girlfriend.

I can't believe I get to be in her presence everyday and when we are apart, we're texting or on the phone.  We may have fooled people who were pretending dating. Will as our manager was purposely with Ally and I had Ty but I really don't like him in that way. He's just my cover. I never been this happy in a while.

"Baby, hi!" she said as we were heading for a interview with the girls.

"Hi babygirl." I said as she we sat next to each other. I hugged my girl and she snuggled up to me. I played with her hair.

"babe." She asked.

"Yes babe?"

"Can you brush my hair for me?"

"Sure thing babe." I looked around and our friend, Amanda who had a mini brush. She handed it to me and I started brushing her hair.

She held up her phone and started recording on her Instragram story.

"When my hair needs touching up, my girl comes to the rescue."

"Mini brush! "She said said laughing at the camera

"Amanda's brush!" She flipped the camera to Amanda

"Yes thanks, Amanda."

We both started laughing at that point. We had a cute moment. She sat back down on my lap.

"Thank you baby."

As were finishing up or day, we all sat in the room back in the bus and starting talking about our upcoming projects as we like to be informed of what's next for us, as we're best friends and still in the band we all know the band comes first and we all make sure its our priority. Normani was doing a song with Khalid which is so awesome for her. I gave her a high five. She laughed and smiled at me. Dinah wanted to get away for awhile and spend time with her family, which we all understood. For her being the youngest, we knew family is really important for her.  gave her a hug as she was trying hold back tears.

"It's going to be okay, D."

"I know, I just feel like I'm missing a lot back at home."

"We get it, D, it's okay, we love you."

"Love you too dorks."

"What about you babe? Ally asked me.

I smiled at all of them, and told him I got invited to tour with Halsey for her Latin American in June. They all crashed into me and gave me hugs. I looked at Ally, who seemed happy but not as the other girls were.

Dinah and Normani excused each other and I nodded at them as they left, Ally looked at me as I did something wrong.

"Babe, its just 9 days and I didn't tell you because I didn't get the green light until this morning."

"Okay so you knew since this morning, and you still didn't tell me because?"

"I wanted to tell you in private. We've been with the girls all days till now right?"

"You could've pulled me to the side or tell me when were in the bathroom."

"Okay yes I could've, and I'm sorry I didn't. I'm sorry babe."

"Baby, I'm happy you get go on tour, I'm just mad because you didn't tell me first. As your girlfriend, we got to tell things upfront."

"You're right."

"Of course I am." she said with a smile.

"I'm not mad anymore, Lo, I'm so proud!"

" I love you babe."

" I love you more."

I hugged my babygirl and then got the others to watch a movie on the bus.
