When I wrote this chapter, I wasn't sure if I watch the video above or not. Anyways, 24:11 is the time this chapter parallels too. I just add more strength to the girls. Hope you enjoy this chapters.

"Okay, girls," Lauren said, letting her hand out in the center. Normani places her hand on top of her.

"This is the time," Normani says.

"I wish all of you good luck, and hope no harm comes your way," Dinah said, placing her hand on top of Normani's.

Camila and I exchange looks and smile. We place our hand on top of theirs. Lauren smiles and nods her head. All of us were shaking in some sort. But we all are here for a reason. Lauren clears her throat and claims, while looking at each and everyone of us, "Okay. We're all in this. I know that we've been down before. We've been hurt before. But we got up before too. On three." We exchange looks. No matter what happens, I wish the best these girls. "One..." We all are in this together. "Two..." This is our time to showcase our abilities. "Three!"

We release our hands in the air, saying, "That's my girl!"

We depart to our duties that we assigned to one another. Camila and I wait behind the warehouse for Dinah to give us Cheryl's whereabouts. Lauren will come interrupt the trading of the money and get Cheryl's whereabouts, and Normani will try to get one of the guys to come to her aid and act as a distraction if they catch Dinah. I pray to God nothing happens to them all. And hopefully, all works as plan.

Camila and I find shelter behind five rows of stack tires. It seem like the most safe spot, but the two of us had to be on a lookout for Dinah. My eyes shift around, wondering, until they land on Camila, who seems more puzzled about something else than this.

"Mila, are you okay?" I ask.

Camila looks at me, showing the same expression as before. "Well, aside from trying not to get caught, Zayn, um, he...he..." she begins but soon gives up. "You know what, never mind. We have to be on a lookout for Dinah."

"Camila," I tilt my head, giving her a 'tell me' look.

She sighs heavily and looks around for no one to hear before she answers. "Zayn asked me to move in with him."

I crease my brow, remembering a fact from one of our previous conversation. "Doesn't Zayn live with his mom?"

Camila nodded. "Yes, but he plans to get his own apartment and wants me to move in with him."

I smile, feeling happy for her. "Congratulations!" But from what I see, she doesn't look too happy about it. "What's the matter?"

Camila shrugs, leaning against the treads of the tires lightly. She sighs and replies, "I don't think I am ready. That's a big step in our relationship."

I grab a hold of her hand, and she makes eye contact with me. "Then tell him you're not ready. I'm sure Zayn will understand. If you're not ready, then you don't have to move in. It will only lead to more issues in the future."

Camila smiles and nods her head. "I guess I can tell him that," she says.

We return back to the plan. We keep our eyes open for Dinah. There was a long moment of silence, and I was trying to resist the urge to pull on my hair. My heart was skipping a beat, and I shake my head. My mind wondered what is happening with Lauren, Normani, and Dinah. It's been a while since we departed. I haven't heard anything loud yet, so that's the only reason why I am keeping calm at the moment.
