Chapter 21: Out Of The Band

~Lauren~

I sat on a bench in the morning across a tv shop where you can watch tv while walking by.

I ate my doughnut slowly as I watch the news. I was in a small town in Louisiana, still far away from home.

Back in Texas, I stole food, water and anything I need, I didn't like what I was doing but knew I had to in order to survive.

It seems as though I missed San Antonio so I couldn't get a ride but I just kept walking.

I haven't talk to my girls in weeks, no in months.

Who knew walking to Florida takes a long time?

It's been two months since I last talk to them or even see them, I wonder how they were doing.

I watch the news reporter announce that Fifth Harmony was going to be on their show today. I sat up and decided to stay and watch the show, it wouldn't hurt right?

Right?

"Please welcome Fifth Harmony!" The interviewer says and my girls walk on stage, my face falls as I saw their faces.

They were sad.

No, they look like they just finish crying.

They sat down on the couch and eyed the end of the couch, probably thinking I should be sitting there.

"Girls! How are you?" The interviewer says and shoots them a look of pity as tears welled up in their eyes.

"We're fine." I heard Camila say very softly and she looks down at her lap.

I frown and stood up, walking to the glass and put my hand on it, watching them.

They are not fine, they are falling apart.

"How are you girls holding up with the disappearance of Lauren?" She asks them and I groan, why would she ask that when they are clearly breaking down?

At this, Normani and Camila let a sob break out and hug Dinah and Ally who were next to them.

My lower lip quiver, I wanted to comfort them but I'm not there to do so.

"Okay." Dinah says and she glares at the interviewer.

So the interviewer moves onto another subject. "Is it true that you girls are breaking up the band? Rumor has it that you will soon." She says and my eyes widened.

"Yeah, it's true." Ally says and I shriek in shock.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" I yelled and look around for anybody with a phone, a business man was walking by and he was talking on the phone. I grab his phone and look back at the tv to get their number.

The guy says, "Bitch! That's my phone!" I spun around quickly and glare at him, shoving a finger to his chest.

"Watch who you call a bitch, I can hurt you." I say to him and turn back to the tv, the line ringing as I waited for them to pick up.

"Well we have a caller on the line, what do you think of this?" The interviewer says and I growl out frustrated.

"You wanna know what I think of this?! Bullshit! I never agreed to any break up! The band is not breaking up!" I yell into the phone and the girls jump up at the sound of my voice.

"Lauren?" They say in unison and look around for me but I wasn't there.

"Yeah it's me you dumb asses! What the hell does it make you think that we are gonna break up?!" I scream into the phone and they stood up, shock clear on their faces. I didn't care that people will know it was me, I didn't care that I needed to mask my voice, I honestly didn't care because my only focus was my girls and the band.
