- Ally -
Can you believe it has been 3 days since Lauren came into my house to talk we ended up arguing for nearly 45 minutes?? Can you believe it's been 3 whole days since our argument and she's been hanging out with Normani going here and there like nothing's wrong????

They're posting each other on their social media's and every time I turn around, my timeline is full of fans retweeting pictures and videos of them together. No one knows anything.

Lauren's smiling, laughing kissing and hugging all on Normani like it's nothing. She's playing this really well. Pretending like nothing's wrong when it is and it's mostly her fault.

Don't get me wrong, I want to tell Normani. So bad. She deserves to know. Eventually she's gonna wanna hang out and it's gonna kill me to be around her and not say anything about all this. But I can't say anything because she's been the happiest lately. If I tell her about me and Lauren, she'll kill Lauren and never talk to me again. She's my best friend and I don't wanna hurt her.

God knows if I had the courage I would but truth is, I'm still trying to sort out how I feel about Lauren but seeing how carefree and unbothered she is by all this is pushing me to play the same game.

Days later....

Dinah knocked on Ally's door for the fifth time and before she could pull out her phone to call her, the door swung open.

"What Dinah?" Ally said lazily. Dinah frowned at Ally and walked into the apartment.

"I have been worried about you all week." Dinah said as she sat her purse on the bar stool and turned to look at Ally. "I haven't seen you since the party and you left because you had a bad headache. I've been trying to text you and call you all week and you've answered nothing. What kinda fuck shit is that?"

"I don't wanna be bothered," Ally said dryly as she walked to sit down on the couch. "Sorry if I worried you."

Dinah sat down beside her. "Well are you at least feeling better?"

Ally shrugged. She never had a headache to begin with. It was an excuse to get away from Lauren. She didn't feel better. Her heart was still broken and she was still coping with it. Not that she wasn't slowly trying to fix her heart, just she still sort of felt the way she did that night at the party when she saw Lauren.

"A little."

Dinah gave a sad smile and rubbed Ally's back. She hated not seeing Ally smile. Although her and Normani always joke on her and play with her, they love Ally to death and would take a bullet for her. Dinah source of comfortability was seeing Ally laughing and smiling. That's always got her through the day. Ally is her best friend. When she isn't doing well, it really effects Dinah.

"I know you've been cramped up in this apartment all week and you haven't gotten out to get fresh air and that's probably why you feel a little better instead of a lot better." said Dinah with a bright smile.

"Your point?" Ally narrowed her eyes at Dinah. "Like where are you going with this?"

"Lets go hang out today." said Dinah.

Ally slowly shook her head and Dinah started speaking before Ally could.

"Nope, I don't wanna hear it." She said. "It's gonna be fun. We can go out to eat, go to the mall, maybe get our nails done, just go out and hang out. I haven't seen nor talked to you all week and I miss you."

"Dinah I don't feel like it." Ally said sadly. "I know you mean well but I truly just don't feel like it."

"Bitch that's not the correct answer." Dinah said before narrowing her eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with you and because I respect you, I'm not gonna force you to tell me if you don't want to. But whatever it is, it has you in this very ugly mood and going out on the town for a few hours isn't gonna kill you."

"It might." Ally shrugged. Dinah rolled her eyes at her nasty attitude.

"Bitch that still ain't the correct answer." Dinah said again. "Ally's its a pretty day in L.A.. The sun is shining, there's puffy white clouds in the sky. The sky is blue. The grass is green. You need to get out and breathe some fresh air."

"The sun is too bright." Ally said as an excuse.

"Ally no." Dinah shook her head. "I'm not leaving until you're leaving with me. I can't let you stay in this house another day alone. I left you alone all week so that I didn't seem like a bother but as your best friend, I'm suppose to make sure you're always happy and good."

"Dinah-"

"Ally shut up and go get dressed!" Dinah interrupted.

Ally sighed deeply before slowly standing to her feet. Dinah smiled and smack her ass, "Yes! Take your fine ass in there and get dressed. I'll be right here when you get out. Oh! And get cute! I can't be the only one."

As Ally slowly opened her closet door, she remembered how happy Lauren is; pretending like she doesn't have a big problem on her hands. She remembered how carefree and unbothered Lauren is seeming to be by all this that pushed Ally to play the same game.

Ally got her shit together. She had a sudden shift in her mood at that thought of Lauren.

She showered. Brushed her teeth. She did her makeup. She put on a cute outfit. She did her hair. She grabbed her Chanel purse and went to meet Dinah.

"Why every time you come over here you're in my refrigerator?" Ally said in aggravation.

Dinah jumped and shut the refrigerator door before throwing the hand full of chips in her mouth. She hurried and folding the bag of chips before sitting them bag back on the counter. She looked at Ally's outfit and her eyes grew wide.

"Bitch you look good!!" Dinah mumbled through her mouth full. "This is the Ally I like and know."

Ally smiled and she grabbed her phone off the couch. "Thank you. Now let's just go."

Dinah grabbed her purse and opened the door as Ally grabbed her keys off the key rack. "Ugh! And wipe your mouth. You have crumbs everywhere." Ally groaned, looking up at Dinah as they walked down the hall.

"It's better than cum." Dinah shrugged and Ally slapped her arm.

"That was too much. Some things just don't need to be said."
