"What you mean?" I ask, furrowing my brows. She closes the door slowly, letting it click softly before taking her original seat. "I mean, was Leigh the only one you flirted with or played?"

I slump back onto the seat, running my hand over my face. "No," I admit. She raises an eyebrow, "Who else?"

I breathe out through my mouth while sitting up and resting my elbows on my knees. "I actually flirted with them all at one point. Leigh's the most recent." Lauren scoffs, "Wow. So, while you were with Madison, you were trying to get with who? Perrie? Jesy? Jade?"

I clear my throat, "Jade." She chuckles bitterly, "I'm starting to believe that distance isn't what broke you two up." I raise an eyebrow at her, "What's that supposed to mean?" She glares at me, "You're over there flirting with Jade while dating Madison? Don't you think there's something wrong there?"

"You act like I cheated on her."

"Shit, you might as well had!"

"I didn't wanna get with her, though. It was harmless."

"Y/N, you just don't understand girls do you? I swear, you think with your southern head," she shakes her head. I sigh, reflecting back on that year. It truly was harmless. All I did was crack a few jokes. What can I say? I like making girls laugh.

Ooh, I see how that sounds. Damn.

"But that's all pass shit," I start. "If I'm gonna be honest, while I was talking to Leigh, Jade would almost never be around. I dunno if it was jealousy or what?"

She chuckles again, "You're so conceited, Y/N. Maybe she didn't wanna be there to see you toying with her best friend's emotions like you did her. It's no doubt she tried to talk some sense into Leigh, but she can be stubborn when she likes someone."

She scoffs, looking me up and down, judging. I feel like a complete culero.

"I'm actually surprised Jesy didn't beat your ass."

I stayed silent, bowing my head and letting my hair fall in my face. "Was that all?" I nod my head, slowly lifting my head up, "But all those others, like Halsey and all them, I literally flirted with like once or twice."

She takes a deep, steady breath, nodding, "At least you're honest." Her face goes back stoic, making me wonder what's going on in her head. "Lauren, I promise, I wouldn't hurt Ally. I... I think I might love her," I whisper the last part.

Her eyes widen slightly, "You do?" I nod, chewing on my bottom lip. Her lips stay in a tight line. "I'm not gonna mess this one up," I say seriously. "Ally makes me happy," I smile to myself.

She crosses her arms over her chest, "Why am I having a hard time believing you?" I roll my eyes, "Because of some pass shit? Lauren, I'm deadass."

"And I'm deadass. I'll believe it when I see it. As for now, I don't trust you as far as I could throw you," she stands again. "You better love our girl right. Sadly, if you do hurt her, she'd forgive you in a heartbeat, but I guarantee that me, Dinah, and Normani wouldn't."

"What about Camila?"

"She'd be too busy wiping the tears that you caused."

There was a tense silence before she left. Shortly after, Camila poked her head in, "What about me?" She plops beside me. I shake my head dismissively, "Nothin'." Her eyebrows knit together.

"You're full of shit," she giggles. "Babes, I can detect bullshit from a mile away." I remain silent and her voice softens. "Is it about what happened back at the house?" I nod sadly, "Yeah. Lauren lost all trust in me now."

She nods, "Lauren's very protective. After Will, she made it her personal goal not to let anyone hurt Ally. He really fucked her up, if you didn't know."

"I know. Trust me, Lauren made that clear," I sigh, feeling stressed. "What do I do?"

"Just love Ally with everything in you. Prove to her and Lauren that you can be trusted. You're a good person, you just do and say dumb shit." I chuckle bitterly, "I was an asshole in the beginning."

She nods sarcastically, "Y'think?" I flip her off, causing her to shake her head, "Nah, not a fan of penises." I shrug, "I can always tuck it." She groans, "Ew, you weirdo!" We share a laugh before calling down.

"Y/N?" She asks, tone turning serious. "Yeah?" She moves a piece of hair behind her ear. "I need you to be 100% honest with me. Whatever you say doesn't leave this room," she quiets her voice at the last part.

I nod, "Of course. Yeah."

"Do you still have feelings for Leigh-Anne?" My body tenses up at that question. I can't say I didn't see it coming.

I dreaded this day, but I knew I would have to talk about it sooner than later. I take a deep breath, looking down at my lap. "I-I...," I sigh then feebly nod. "Yeah." Camila stays quiet, causing me to look up.

Her expression unreadable, "Okay." Was all she said before it got quiet all over again. The silence was nerve racking. I got a lot of shit going on in my head. I haven't spoken to either girl in months.

"But I like Ally the most. I might even love her, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I do," she places a hand on my knee. "Don't rush it. You can't force your feelings, because you'd be hurting both of you. Waiting it out is what's best."

She finishes with a soft smile and a playful punch to my face. I chuckle and nod, "You're right, Cagayo. So what do I do about Leigh?" She looks at me for a second with sincere eyes, "What do you think you should do?"

I ponder for a moment, "Talk to her?"

"That sounds more like a question, Peb."

"Because it is," I say defeatedly. "If that's what you think is best, then do it. Only when you're ready." I nod, breathing out steadily.

"But Ally has to be the first one you talk to about this. It may hurt her a bit, but it'll hurt her a lot if you don't tell her anything." I nod, smiling at her, "You're right. Thanks, Carwash," I give her a side hug and mess with her hair for the second time today.

"Anytime, Jackson," I roll my eyes.

Dinah then pokes her head in, furrowing her eyebrows at our current state. "Uh, driver said we'd get to the first city in 6 or 7 hours."

Camila calmly breaks from me, "Yeah, okay." Dinah leaves, not before giving me one last weird look. "Do you think Dinah agrees with Lauren?" She shrugs, "Dinah's always neutral until she hears all sides."

I nod, "That's a good trait."

"True dat, true dat," she says in a terrible Jersey accent. "Hey, don't do us dirty like that," I laugh.

Camila can be a donut sometimes, but damn she be throwing facts. She's cool as hell, and know a lot about relationships despite hardly being in any. Presumably.

Damn, I gotta get my shit together.
