We're Better Together

The Concert that changed everything

*Camila's POV*

Everyone was dressed and going to sound check. Something was wrong with me. I had no energy to want to do anything at all. Lauren came in and got me."Camz are you ready to go?"

I wasn't ready to go but I lied to Lauren.

 "Umm i'm just trying to find my other shoe."

Lauren helped me find my shoes "Here I have it, are you okay Camila?" I sat down and put my shoes on,

"Yeah lolo i'm alright i'm just tired. We've been on the go again lately. Come on Lauren let's go to sound check. I'll race you!" 

*Lauren's POV* 

I let Camz win at racing me. If she was happy, So was I. "I beat you Lolo!"

I smiled "Yeah I guess you did." Before we did sound check I pulled Ally to the side "

Can you watch camila tonight, during the show since you dance next to her?" "Oh yeah sure Lauren is she okay?"

"Well she keeps telling me she is, but I don't wanna believe it." 

*Camila's POV*

I felt fine during sound check so maybe I was just tired I wanted to believe that's all I was, I thought that until I got back into the rehearsal and I went to the couch and fell onto it, I just felt so much pain leave my body, then everyone went to change but lauren and I.

"Camz! what's the matter?" I could hear the fear in Lauren's voice. I hated scaring her like that.

I calmly questioned "Lauren..I'm okay can you get me Ally?"

"Yeah i'll be right back sweetie."

*Lauren's POV*

I've never ran so fast in my life i was screaming, "Ally!Can you come here? Camila wants you"

She rushed to pull her skirt all the way up "Okay Lauren calm down i'm coming it's going to be alright."  

All the other girls looked concered too, but they contuined to get themselves ready.

When we got into the other room Camila had her head cupped in her hands, I heard her faintly crying. Ally went over and started rubbing her back. "Camila are you okay?"

Ally looked at me with sad eyes and mouthed "She's in pain."

 I sat down next to her and she put her head in my lap. She answered Ally, 

"Yeah I am,just really tired, but tonight during my solos can you help me sing them? When we introduce ourselves i'll just tell the fans i'm sick and that you're backing me up."

"Yeah sure Camila, but if you don't feel good, then don't over do yourself."

When Ally left the room Camila sat up and out her arms around me.

"Lauren?"

 "Yeah camz." 

"I would be lost without you."

" I softly kissed her neck ,"I would be lost without you too Camz."

We got called to get our outfits on and then we did our before show prayer. After that Me And My Girls  started playing and that was our cue to go on stage. 

*Camila's POV* 

Ally lead us on stage, then Normani., Dinah, Me, and then Lauren. During Me And My Girls  I felt perfectly fine. Then we had to introduce our self's

Hi i'm Ally 

Hi i'm Normani 

Hi i'm Dinah Jane! 

Hi i'm Lauren 

"Hi i'm Camila! With that i would like to say we are so happy to be in Dallas Texas! I'm not feeling to good tonight, so Ally is going to help me through my solos, I might be sitting down some tonight, But i promise were still going to have fun! I love you Dallas who's ready for some Better Together?"

Everyone cheered!

During One Wish I walked off stage. Lauren looked me right in the eyes. I went to the rehearsal room and i broke down into tears our hair stylist Shelby came over to me,

"Camila...are you okay?"

"No don't make me go on stage again"

 Shelby started to hug me and she said, "Sweetie what's wrong? You only have two more songs after this."

I am in so much pain right now, I can hardly stand up." 

Once One Wish ended the girls came back stage before there encore with Don't Wanna Dance Alone and , Miss Movin'' On Lauren found me and hugged me, 

"Shelby you can't make her go back on stage like this." 

Shelby replied to Lauren "Lauren she has two songs left she can sit down or do whatever she needs to do. I;m not letting her quit. She's been sick this whole concert.."

 I took Camila and whispered in her ear "Camila, you're okay I promise." 

I could hardly stand up I was leaning all my weight onto Lauren at this point.

Shelby said "Listen go on stage last two songs and then come off stage and then we will leave and go to the hotel and we will sleep."

Then the crowd started yelling Fifth Har-mon-y!!!!! i figured I had no way of getting out of it so i took Lauren's hand and Ally's hand. Normani grabbed Ally's hand and Dinah grabbed Lauren's other hand.

Coming back on stage hand in hand, i figured why not.

I looked out and saw all of our beautiful Harmonizers screaming so I smiled and said,

"Oh so you thought we were done Dallas? NOPE! we have some Don't wanna Dance Alone action and Miss Movin' On left so lets get this started!'

Don't Wanna Dance Alone was fun, I held onto the back of Ally's arm, i'm sure some fans noticed but it was honestly the only thing getting me through this.

Lauren looked at me and mouthed "it's almost over."

When we did Miss Movin' On  it was alright until the last chorus.

I started to feel lightheaded, Ally went and sand my solo and she had to let me go, that's when I couldn't rememeber where I was. I heard the song end, but I heard my body hit the floor."

 I heard the faint screams from the girls ''Camila!?"

I heard the cries of fans. I knew something was wrong, I couldn't bring myself to figuring it out. My eyes wouldn't open. 

 I heard Lauren whisper "Camz, you're okay."

Then all the screaming stopped and everything was dark. I was alone in a world I didn't know existed. Everything was calm and there was no rushing around. What was going on? 

The last thing i heard was Ally was crying,

I heard Lauren say "Thank you Dallas! It's been a pleasure!"
