The Aftermath (Little Mix/You/C.C)

Chapter 1.

"Honey, I'm home." Camila called out, her voice echoing the only response she recieves. "Y/N?"

After a while, Camila hears a small sniffle, and she immediately drops the grocery bags and ran to Y/N's bedroom. She swings the door open, observing an oblivious Y/N, watching something with her headphones in.

"Y/N, what are you watching?" Y/N almost jumps out of her skin, instinctively turning her phone off. "What was it?"

"Uh, the Titanic. It just get's me every time." If Camila didn't know Y/N any better, she would've believed her, but Canila could hear the slight difference in her tone.

"Was it the girls?"

Y/N eyes widened at her bluntless, but she couldn't hide the sadness that washed over her. "They said that they've never felt better. That they feel closer then they ever have. That they don't need me."

"Oh, Y/N." Camila circles her arms around the girl, stroking her hair. "They're probably just saying that. The girls used to do that with me."

"I know what they sound like when they lie, and Perrie was the only one that sounded like she was lying. Not even Jade."

Camila can feel something in her snap when she hears the name. Jade, one of the few people Camila can say she hates. Jade had been the one that made Y/N feel the worse, she had never really been there for her, even during her hardest moment. Even when they were together.

"Forget about her, cause now you have me." Y/N laughed at her, which made Camila smile. "And, you also have a bunch of fans rooting for you."

"Most of them just your family."

Camila mock gasped, clasping her hand to her chest. "You take that back."

Y/N laughed at her, pulling her into another hug. "You're annoying."

"I know. But you love."

"I do. I really do."

"Okay, let me get this straight. You and Y/N met at a cafe, and the first thing she said to you was, 'Have you heard that new Havana song?"

Camila chuckled at the memory, remembering how she instantly knew she wanted to be friends with her. "She hates me telling this story, but um yeah, thats how we met. I wouldn't have asked for any other way though."

"Okay, no wonder people ship you guys so much, you seem perfect for each other."

Camila found herself almost cackling at the interviewers words, a small snort escaping her mouth. "I bet if we ended up dating, someone would die."

"Fair enough. Anyway, thank you very much for your time with us, everybody give it up for the lovely Camila Cabello."

Camila bowed at the applause she received, waving to the audience one last time, before she walked backstage where Y/N was. Y/N hopped up seeing her, her eyes jokingly glaring at her. "Out me in front of the whole building, why don't you."

"Too late now, isn't it?"

"Whatever." Y/N hooked her arm around Camioa's, a grin growing on the both of their faces. "Shall we?"

"We shall."

The girls could barely remember a time where the bus was filled with laughter and joy. Now, basically anything that was said would echo down the bus, allowing anyone to hear it. That is why everyones eyes were on Perrie, but her she didn't notice as she was concentrated on her phone.

A video of Y/N hanging with Camila had popped up on Instagram, and curiosity got the best of her. When the video ended, Perrie finally acknowledged the stares she was receiving by looking up. "Was that Y/N?"

Perrie wants to roll her eyes, obviously it was and Leigh-Anne knew it. Perrie nods slowly, a frown growing on her face, "I miss her." Perrie admitted, her words travelling down the bus.

"Well you shouldn't." A dark voice adding much more tension to the room. "It won't help."

It hurts Perrie to hear how angry Jade sounded, how broken. She could remember a time where Jade was the happy and innocent one in the group, those days long gone now.

"She's right, y'know." Jesy gives Perrie a look of sympathy as she says this, trying to soften the blow. "It'll just make everything worse."

"I know." Perrie sighs. "I just want everything to go back to normal. Back when we all had each others back, back when we use to sing each other to sleep."

Jade pushed herself up from the couch, her face showing nothing but anger. "Grow up, Perrie, this is life. Nothing will ever stay the same, nothing will ever go back to normal, and thats just how it is."

"Jade-"

"I'm going to bed." She mumbles, cutting Jesy off. Perrie stares as the girl walks away, the want to cry growinf inside her.

But what she didn't know was that Jade was already crying, tears streaming down her face, sobs silently escaping her mouth. Jade had forced herself to look at photos of her and Y/N, then look at Y/N's new photos. It was torture, but she couldn't sleep without it.

She couldn't sleep without Y/N's smile. And she hated Y/N, and herself, for it.
