Ch. 5

- ALLY'S P.O.V.-

"THANK YOU HOUSTON WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!" I grab Lauren and Normani's hands as we all take a bow together and wave at the screaming audience. I blow kisses to a few girls in the front and make heart symbols with my hands, trying to give our Harmonizers the same love they give us. Finally we all leave the stage and walk down the small hallway out of breath. 

"Good show guys. I feel really good about what we did tonight!" I huff out, trying to keep our minds on the show and not the eventful evening we are about to endure.

"Yeah, thanks Ally. You were great too." Mani smiles weakly at me as she gives me a side hug, and we all walk into the large dressing room. Lauren plops herself down on the cushioned chair swinging her legs over the armrest and immediately takes out her phone. Dinah slides across the counter and admires herself for a few moments. Then she reaches down, grabs the nearest comb, and starts brushing out her tangled web. Mani has her arm around my shoulder holding me into her side, feeling my anxiety. 

You could cut the tension with a knife. 

"I'm gonna go pee" Camila whispers before exiting out the dressing room doors. 

The door slowly closes. No one has moved a muscle. 

"Hey Mani, can you toss me a water?" Dinah questions while continuing to comb out her knotted hair.

Normani steps over to the mini fridge and tosses the young girl the water she asked for. Then leans up against the ledge to try and relax her aching bones. I look over at Lauren who hasn't adverted her attention away from that small screen since we walked into the room. I slowly walk over and gently sit down next to her. I put my hand on her shoulder and give it a little squeeze. 

"Hey Lolo, are you okay?" I question, with a motherly tone. The dark haired girl acts as if I don't exist. Her attention never leaves her lit up screen as she scrolls through pages and pages of tweets. 

"Lauren....are you okay? Do you need me to get you anything?" I say while playing with her tossed locks. Still nothing. Gosh, I wish Lauren wasn't so shut off all the time. I sit staring at her beautiful side-profile and playing with her hair.  She finally locks her phone screen and tosses it on the couch next to her body and rests her head on the backrest.

Nothing seems to have changed in the room besides the fact that Lauren is no longer glued to her phone screen. 

After a few quiet minutes I hear heavy breathing coming from next to me. I know something is going on in Lolo's head. "Lauren sweetie....is everything alright?" I rest my hand on her knee as I see her shake her head and cover her face with her hands. I glance at the two other girls and motion them out of the room. They quickly and quietly exit and start their curious chatter before the door swings shut. 

I pull Lauren into my arms, desperate for answers. "Is this about Camila? Is that why you're so upset?" I ask still playing with her hair, hoping to calm her down. 

The young rebel rubs her hands across her face and sighs. "I just don't want things to be different. Our relationship is already so complicated from the press and fandom world. I don't know how much more strain Camz can take." she looks over at me. Her green eyes no longer vibrant and lively. 

"Lolo I promise you we will try our hardest to make things the same. Your happiness is so important to me and I will do whatever it takes to keep that smile on your face" I smile widely as I tap her nose. 

The green-eyed beauty re-positions herself on the couch and folds her legs underneath her. She stares at the surface below her, very deep in thought. "Ally....can you please take care of Camila?" she fidgets her fingers showing her obvious nervousness. "...Even at like 3:00am when she's crying about missing Sofi can you make sure someone is there for her?" Lauren's gaze never leaves the cushion underneath us.
