Lauren's 22nd birthday group chat

4 days after Lauren's disappearance

7:23AM

C: I just feel so guilty guys

N: Why's that Mila?

C: I just keep going over in my head, you know why I didn't go after her as soon as I realized she was gone. I'm supposed to be her best friend and I left her all alone and she was so drunk...

N: You can't blame yourself Mila. It's not your fault. Everything could of been different. We all could of left at the same time or not of forced her to drink so much...It's not anyone's fault except for the person that killed her. You remember that okay?

T: Normani is right Camila. You cannot feel guilty about this. You're not the one to blame here.

N: It's all over the news now. Trying to find the person responsible for this.

D: I have a feeling that it's only going to get worse isn't it?

N: It's been shit so far...

D: Did anyone think of anyone she could of met that night?

N: Not really, just some guy from a dating app.

C: That weird guy? I forget his name.

N: Yeah umm Calvin I think! We were talking about him on the night out. I just don't remember why were talking about him.

C: Come to think of it Mani you might be right. I remember her showing me some of his and her messages lately. He was trying to find where he could come and meet her. There's no way she would of told him though.

N: Who knows. I mean it's a lead anyway.

C: I think I have his number. She gave me his number before she went on that date, just in case something were to happen. I'll see if I can find it and let the police know.

N: Good idea Mila!

C: So I just checked Laur's Instagram and the caption says "so drnk! But gotta loveeed S bar." She was drunk and posted where she was do you think he could of saw that somehow and tracked her down?

N: Oh my god. You could be right Mila!!! Tell the police now! Let us know what they say.

C: Will do Manibear.
