Lauren's POV

*3 weeks later at Simon Cowell's House*

So Camila got released from the hospital and has really made improvement. She can say a few words like 'yes' and 'no' but she hasn't been able to say any sentences.

Relationship wise, Camila and I are still friends. She's been pretty nice so far. I think now that she's seen how life can change so fast she's being more grateful for the things she has considering she could have lost it all not too long ago.

The five of us are waiting for Simon at his house. We just took a long plane ride so I'm pretty sure all of us are exhausted right now. I'm still not over how big this guys house is.

"Hey Lo don't mind me I'm gonna sleep on you until Simon gets here. I'm half dead right now." Ally says. I giggle and let her sleep on my shoulder.

A few minutes later Simon walks in and I wiggle my arm trying to get Ally to wake up.

"Hello girls" Simon says to the 5 of us.

Ally getting startled by his voice wakes up.

"Hi" we all say back. Camila only waving because she's tired and resting her voice, not that she really has much to rest anyway.

"You're all probably wondering why I brought you girls here." He says.

"Actually I'm pretty sure we all know exactly why." Normani says.

"Well just to be clear." He starts. "We are canceling all performances, interviews, and basically avoiding the media in general until Camila here can begin singing again. We have to work out a story to tell the press about what all happened with Austin."

I see Camila look up at Simon looking kind of confused. She takes the pen and paper she had taken with her out of her bag and begins to write.

"What do you mean 'a story' "? She writes.

"Can't we just tell them the truth about what happened?" She continues.

"Well you see Camila, Austin has a lot of fans and is a role model to a lot of people. We can't just say that he was drunk and is now being put in prison for the rest of his life." Simon says.

"But that's exactly what happened." She writes.

"How do you think I feel? I can't talk. I can't sing. I can't even yell at him for doing this to me." She continues to write.

"And what about the family's of those 3 people he killed? You can't just let him off that easy. He did this to himself." She finishes.

I can see a single tear rolling down her face before Dinah takes Camila's hand and wipes the tear on her cheek away.
"It's okay Mila." She says trying to comfort her.

"Everything will be just fine. Your voice will come back. I'm with you on this. Austin isn't gonna get away with this." She continues.

"Yeah she's right." I build up the guts to say.

I see Camila look at me. She looks surprised but starts to smile a little. I probably look like a human tomato considering how much I must be blushing.

"This isn't Camila's fault. Austin is the reason she can't talk and sing. Singing is Camila's life." I continue

"None of this is Camz's fault. We know more than anyone how awful she must feel right now. Her passion was just ripped away from her. We love music just as much as she does and it isn't fair that he gets to have some story made up to clear his name when Camila is stuck here not able to do the one thing that she loves." I finish.
