The girls are back in LA for a couple days, recording for their new album Reflection, which is supposed to be released in 2015.  It’s been a couple weeks since Camila broke up with Austin, but she is still not over it. That damn dorito cheated on her with some fan, but being the kind-hearted girl Camila is, she blames herself for not giving Austin what he wanted. She wasn’t ready, and she hates that she couldn’t give him that. The girls had their day off today, so Camila is currently lying on her bed, with her laptop on her chest, scrolling through tumblr.

Lauren is in her room, typing away at her computer. She’s posting on tumblr about the Brauren rumors. Someone told the press/radio that they saw one of the girls from Fifth Harmony making out with one of the boys from The Vamps, and everyone thinks/knows it was Brad and Lauren. The funny part about this is that it wasn’t. Honestly, whoever told the radio that obviously didn’t know anyone from Fifth Harmony or The Vamps because they all talked about it, and no one made out with anyone at the HALO awards. Lauren and Brad are really good friends, but not that good.

Because Camila was always giving her attention to Austin, Lauren didn’t have anyone to talk to. Yeah, she had the other girls, but they had their own things going on. That’s how her and Brad got close. Brad was there for Lauren when she needed to rant about how Camila is like a lost puppy when around Austin, or when she needed a shoulder to cry on because she missed her family, or when she needed to get her mind of Camila because she wasn’t home yet from her date with Austin, or when she just needed to get her mind of Camila in general. The night of the HALO Awards, Lauren was casually drinking the contents of the mini bar with Brad in her hotel room. They didn’t think much of it. They were just hanging out, drinking, and talking. He told her about the girl back at home that he has been crushing on for years. He kept talking about how funny and cute she was. After drinking quite a lot, Brad was teasing Lauren about the rumors of Brauren, saying that she is totally into him, because who isn’t? After repeatedly hitting him with a pillow, emphasizing that she really wasn’t into him, he asked her who she was into. Without hesitation, she replied “Camila.” Maybe it was the alcohol that was in her system to make her confess what she’s been hiding all these years, but she said it, he heard, and she spent the rest of that night crying in his chest. They woke up the next morning with raging headaches, but full memory of what happened that night. Brad promised the be there whenever Lauren needed him and that he won’t tell anyone about last night. They constantly texted each other-teasing each other about Brauren. Somehow, one day, they ended up making a bet that if one of them made a move on their crush, then the other would have to also. This was in Brad’s liking because there was obviously no way Lauren was going to make a move on Camila because of Austin, and Brad wouldn’t put Lauren in that position either.

Lately, Brad has been getting a lot of hate because he was spot with another girl while back home in the UK and the Harmonizers were, as usually, protective of Lauren. Lauren finished writing out her post, and published it.

I wasn’t going to confront the rumors about me and Brad, but because this is seriously getting out of hand and on my nerves, I’m going to go out and say that me and Brad are nothing but really good friends. Brad is literally like a brother to me, and he feels the same way. He is not interested in my whatsoever and I’m not into him in that way. He’s my best friend, so please, stop with the hate. He’s the sweetest guy ever and doesn’t deserve any hate. He’s my best friend, guys, and I’m happy he finally pulled a move on Erin ;)

She screenshotted her post, and posted the picture on Instagram and Twitter.

@TheVampsBrad: @LaurenJauregui I believe it’s your turn to make move L ;)

Lauren shook her head side to side, with a grin on her face. Stupid bet.

@LaurenJauregui: @TheVampsBrad I have no idea what you are talking about (;

A minute later she gets a text message from the boy.

Go get her Jauregui.

-I don’t think so, B

Come onnnnnn. Sweep her off her feet. She’s single and heartbroken. You got this. She loves you. Everyone knows that.

-“heartbroken” is exactly why I shouldn’t. She just barely got out of a relationship, I should give her time.

Everyone can see she loves you though, way more than that dorito.

-Why do you keep calling him that? xD

Before she can see what he said, someone comes running through the door of Lauren’s room.

“JAUREGUI, WHO ARE YOU INTO?”

“Jesus Christ, Camz! Knock would you! I could’ve been busy” Lauren smirked.

“Okay gross, but you’re not…busy… so back to my question.”

Camila jumped on Lauren’s bed on her stomach, her head in her hands, looking up at Lauren expecting an answer to her previous question.

“No one.” Lauren said, turning her head back to her computer.

“How come Brad gets to know and I don’t?” Camila pouted.

“Oh no, nuh uh. You don’t get to do that.”

“Do whaaat?” Camila whined innocently, bringing her bottom lip out in that adorable pout. Jesus, who can say no to that face?

“Stop it Camila.” Lauren warned.

“Make me.” Camila challenged.

Lauren gulped. Camila raised her eyebrows. Lauren kept her gaze on those chocolate orbs in front of her, getting lost, until Camila blinked, kicking Lauren out of her trance.

“Do you really want to know?”

“Yes, duh, I didn’t almost fall down the stairs to get to your room for fun.”

“You almost fell down the stairs??”

“Unimportant, who is it?”

Lauren sighed. She can’t do this.

“I won’t tell you who, but I’ll answer questions about…this person”

“Is it Brad?”

“NO!”

“I’M KIDDING I’M SORRY”

“fine, and no straight up questions, just details. Then you can figure it out for yourself.”

“Just tell me about him. What he likes, what he looks like, what his name is…”

“Camila.”

“sorry. Go on, talk.”

“Fine… I don’t know where to start. This person is the raddest person I know, smart, funny, quirky, you know name it. They are always, always there for me whenever I need them; they make me feel better when I’m down. They understand me when no one else can. They are passionate about everything, they are kind and sometimes too kind to people who don’t deserve it, and it frustrates me that they think they aren’t good enough for anyone.”

Lauren took a deep breath, and then locked her green emeralds with the chocolate orbs.

“They don’t like to be called perfect, but that’s the word I would describe her. She’s beautiful in everyway possible.”

Lauren watched as Camila’s faced dropped a little, and her eyebrows furrowed together.

“She?”
