Sing To Me

Chapter 27

Lauren POV

All the girls ended up staying a night at Camila's. Dinah and Normani both disappeared early tough. That is one thing I don't understand about Dinah. She complains if you wake her up early but she is always gone early mornings on sleepovers. Maybe she is one of those who needs to sleep on her bed if she access to it.

Since our date is later, I decide I should go home so Camila and I need space. "Do you want a ride?" Camila ask as we walk outside.

The storm from last night is gone and tis actually nice out. "I'll walk. I need to get fresh air anyways."

"Do you want me to walk with you?"

The offer is tempting. "You don't need to because then I'll be tempted to walk you back and it will go back and forth." I give her a quick kiss. "I will see you later though."

She gives me a toothless smile. Right before I reach the gate she yells out. "You need to wear an all white shirt and jeans you don't care get ruin. Also something to changing into but it doesn't need to be fancy."

A plain white shirt and old jeans? I can honestly say I have no idea what we are doing but I like it that way.

I walk out her gate and make my way home. I was about a block away when I run into someone.

"What are you doing out this early?" Megan questions me.

I look at my phone. "It's ten, that isn't early."

"You returning from a booty call?" She laughs and I roll my eyes. "Did I catch you on a walk of shame?"

"You got me. I guess you aren't the only one who can whore it out." I say annoyed with her.

"Unlike you, I've been in a relationship and still in one. You have no idea what one of those feels like." She spits out.

It's entertaining how hard she has to try to be mean. I want to tell her I'm in a relationship but she will ask with who. I know Camila asked me to be her girlfriend basically, but I don't know if she wants people to know. I need to remember to ask her about that.

"Well it was great seeing you." I tell Megan. "At least the worse part of the day happened early so thank you."

I walk by her with her throwing nasty words at me. I get to my house and grab the mail. I set my parents stuff on the coffee table and take what's mine into my room.

I jump on my bed pretty excited. I got a package from Austin's team. I guess I'm about to find out if he likes the things I sent him so far. I know I've only sent five so far, so here goes nothing.

I rip the package open and pull out a letter first.

Ms. Jauregui-

We love what you sent so far and hope to get more material soon. Austin and Ally were fond of one of the songs in particular and have already recorded it. On the disc we sent is the studio version that we are planning to release it by the end of October. Enjoy the check as your brilliant words have paid off.

I jump on my bed and do a happy dance. A song I wrote is going to be released! Is this real life?

I plop down on my bed and pull the rest of the things out of the package. I set the disc aside. I want to be around Camila when I hear it. The next thing that comes out is the check. My mouth drops as I hold it in my hands. $67,000. That means the songs average 13,400 per song. This is insane. I look at the time and realize I have an hour before the bank closes.
