The gang decided to have a bonfire on the beach and just chill on the sand. They listened to Shawn play a slow and acoustic music while they drink their wine.

"I take it that Lauren is still mad at you?" Normani whispered to Camila who was looking at Lauren.

"She is.. wait how did you know?" Camila snapped her eyes at Normani.

"It's obvious.. she's ignoring you and she's not sitting next to you.. duh"

"Ow.. yeah" Camila replied with sadness in her voice.

"So who wants to sing next?" Shawn looked at his friends.

"I do" Lauren, who was sitting next to Dinah raised her hand before standing up and walking towards Shawn.

"What song?" Shawn asked

"Uhh..." Lauren leaned in and whispered something to Shawn.

"Okay.. I know it" Shawn smiled and Lauren gave him a small nod.

"Do you think she'll sing a song for you?" Normani asked Camila.

"I-I don't know" Camila replied before moving her head down with her feet playing with the sand.

Shawn started strumming the guitar while Lauren took a deep breath before singing.

So I heard you found somebody else

That first line got Camila's attention. She snapped her head up and looked at Lauren who was staring down at the sand while singing.

And at first I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else

I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

Come on baby
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
Come on baby
You said you'd find someone to take my place

I just don't believe that you have got it in you 'cause
We are just gonna keep 'doin' it' and everytime
I start to believe in anything you're saying
I'm reminded that I should be getting over it

Camila can't help but feel upset that Lauren was singing this song. Lauren shifted her gaze from the sand and into Camila's eyes.

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else

I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

The song ended and Lauren went back to her seat. The night just got awkward and silent for the group, no one was speaking before Camila broke the silence.

"I told you I didn't cheat on you"

"What now?" Normani frowned "I thought it was just a small argument"

"I never wanted it to happen.. It was a mistake.. how many times do I have to say it?" Camila stood up.

"I'm outta here" Lauren tried to stand but Dinah pulled her back down.

"Lauren.." Camila sighed.

"No one is walking away.. you guys need to talk about this and fix it" Ally chimed in. "And what are we talking about?"

"Stay out of this" Lauren replied

"Lauren is mad at me because Zayn kissed me" Camila blurted out.

"Really Camila?" Lauren rolled her eyes.

"She should be.. someone just kissed her girl" Lizie replied before taking a sip of her red wine.

"He took me by surprise! I pushed him away when I came back to my senses!" Camila exclaimed.

"Did you kissed him back?" Cole asked.

"At first yes.. but I pushed him away" Camila answered "I'm sorry Lauren.. let me fix this. Please"

"There's nothing to fix" Lauren replied and Camila felt a pang on her chest.

"W-what do you mean?" Camila stammered.

"You know what I mean" Lauren replied.

"Come on guys..just talk it out" Noah added.

"A-are you breaking up with me?" Camila's voice cracked which made Lauren regret what she just said.

"I don't know.." Lauren sighed.

"I'm so sorry.. I'm sorry.. I really am. What do I need to do for you to forgive me?" Camila replied as she tried holding back her sobs.

"I honestly don't know" Lauren ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.

"Oh for fucks sake" Cat stood up and cupped Lauren's cheeks before crashing their lips together earning a few gasps from their friends. Lauren was surprised at first but she reciprocated the kiss before pushing Cat's shoulders gently.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Lauren frowned at Cat.

"What the hell Cat" Lizie glared at her bestfriend.

"Look Camila is mad because I kissed you" Everyone turned to Camila who was glaring at Lauren and Cat. "And you kissed me back.. now you guys are even" Cat giggled.

"What the fuck" Dinah chuckled

"Now you know how she feels" Billie smirked at Camila.

"Well done.. well played" Camila gave Cat a sarcastic clap.

"So..?" Normani shifted her eyes between Camila and Lauren.

"So nothing" Lauren replied.

"Nice Cat.. you just made it worse" Lizie rolled her eyes.

"I was just trying to help" Cat pouted.

"I think it was awesome" Noah chuckled.

"Lauren.. are you gonna let some stupid kiss ruin what you and Camila have?" Shawn asked.

"Good question" Lizie nodded at Shawn.

"I'm tired" Lauren sighed before walking back to the beach house.

"Did she just gave up on me?" Camila sighed in frustration.

"Just give her time" Ally gave Camila a small smile "If she gives up it's her decision.. but the question is..are you gonna give her up?"

"No" Camila automatically answered.

"Good.. then do everything you can to win her back" Dinah chimed in "I don't want my ship to sink"

"I second that" Noah added.

"Don't worry. She just needs time to figure everything out. She'll come around" Billie smiled and Camila nodded.
