It was very late at night when Shawn entered Lauren's hotel room. After he had brought back Camila, he had stayed awake thinking. Even though he was probably the happiest guy alive, there still was something bothering him. So he made his way to his best friend's best friend and hoped that she would open.

Which she did. Without questioning.

"Do you want something to drink? Or cookies?", Lauren asked and crossed her arms. "Coffee would be fine", Shawn replied thankful. She nodded and pointed to the balcony. "Wait for me outside. It's not too cold and there are two chairs."

Shawn also nodded and watched Lauren disappear. But when he stepped outside he immediately noticed a thick photo album lying on the table. It seemed like Lauren had spent the last hours looking through it. He couldn't help but became curious as soon as he saw the picture on the open side.

Dear Lauren,

I spent hours looking through everything and finally decided that this photo is perfect. It's from back in the days. Full of light and joy. Do you still remember how excited we were when 'Miss Moving On' was first played on the radio? Or when we announced our first tour?We were truly living our dream. It's crazy that we actually had the chance to do so. And even if you don't believe me - without you or any of the other girls that wouldn't be possible. Fifth Harmony gave me all the love I needed at that time and I'll never regret being part of it. I couldn't imagine it otherwise.

I miss you.

I miss the moments where we got caught up in talking about a band or a book and got lost in the conversation like two totally normal girls in High School. Or how we always cracked up at each others jokes even when nobody else got them. We understood each other so well and always comforted each other. I really could need one of your hugs right now.

I know you probably hate me but if you ever change your mind, please call me. Whatever I did - besides leaving the band - let me fix it. 

Love only, Camz

PS: Happy belated Birthday. I hope you had a special day.

Shawn smiled sadly. He remembered that Camila used to write Lauren and Dinah after she left. He never read any of the letters though. He recognized that Camila had a very special way with words. He always thought she underestimated herself in that direction. She could easily captivate huge crowds and bring them to tears. Of course Camila was all dorky and cute but often she just suddenly switched to deep and thoughtful.

"I never responded her. But I kept all of them." The door behind him had opened and Shawn was torn from his thoughts. Quickly he sat back and pretended to look at the skyline. But Lauren wasn't naive enough to believe that. "It's okay", she said calmly and gave him his coffee. But Shawn noticed that she felt a little uncomfortable. That's why he didn't watch her when she put the stuff together and brought it inside.
