Lauren.
I slummingly woke up out of bed today. Filming day.. I looked over and saw I was the only one in the room. At that exact moment Lisa barged into the room, "LAUREN CHRISTINE CIMORELLI- oh, your awake." She said disappointedly.
"Yea, I'm awake. How much time until filming?" I asked hoping it was far away.
"When you get dressed, and eat something." Lisa replied.
"Great. Just great." I said aloud jumping down from bed.
"Not in the filming mood?" Lisa asked.
"Not at all. But lately I never am. I'll just suck it up like I've been doing for 2 weeks."
Lisa gave me a confused look, "Look, I'm gonna leave you to get ready but we talk about this later okay?"
"Sounds good." I said sarcastically.
She threw a pillow at me, "Get ready you ugly bun." She joked.
"Oh Lisa, very clever!" I rolled throwing the pillow back. She laughed and left me to get ready.

I stood in my spot in the back smiling as Christina began, "Hi I'm Christina."
"I'm Katherine."
"I'm Lisa."
"I'm Amy."
"I'm Lauren."
"I'm Dani."
"And we're cimorelli!"
Christina cleared her throat, "We're gonna do an acoustic cover of Blank Space by Taylor Swift!"
••
"Lauren! We have enough bloopers!" Amy yelled.
"Exactly we've been singing forever and you mess up every single time!" Dani whined.
"Well I'm sorry god! I'm not feeling too well today, give me a break." I said silently, looking to my feet.
"Ugh, once more." Christina said restarting the camera.
I stood up tall and began to sing.
••
"Okay! I'm done!" Christina said leaving the room aggravated.
"I'm so sorry!" I yelled.
"Thanks a lot Lauren!" Dani yelled towards me.
"Thanks a lot Lauren!" I mocked snobbishly.
"Oh yea. Real mature." Dani replied.
I rolled my eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes, I should be rolling mine since you screwed up filming for today!" Dani began again.
"Oh my god, just leave it alone." I said.
"Guys, don't start." Katherine warned knowing this would lead to much worse.
"Ugh. I'm going upstairs since it's obviously my fault for not filming today!" I yelled running up the stairs and slamming the door.
Whats wrong with me? Why am I not feeling it anymore? Why have I lost my passion for singing? I feel so bad for ruining the film. We promised the fans we would have a new video up by tomorrow, but that's obviously not gonna happen. You have no idea what a major set back this is. I bet Christina is in the recording studio, re arranging things, and blaming me in her work. Ugh, but I just DONT want to sing today. I just had a talk with dani yesterday and a weird conversation with her last night. It's just getting a bit weird for me. I need time, you know?
I grabbed my laptop from My nightstand, changed into sweatpants and a hoodie. Removed my makeup, and placed my hair into a messy bun. I got under the covers of my bed and plugged my headphones into he computer. Headphones in. World out.
Dani's P.O.V
I was sitting in the recording studio with Lisa, Christina, Amy, and Katherine while Lauren was upstairs doing something, I don't know.
"She has been slacking for weeks now, I understand dani and her had a bit of a talk at the coffee shop or whatever. But even before that, she has been lazy, and her voice is loosing it's pitch harmony everything! I had to put her on a lower part for god sake! Her posture is lousy, and her appearance is sloppy. She isn't taking the band seriously anymore. I have had it with her, and I can't deal with her work any longer. One more screw up and she's out." Christina angrily shouted.
Lisa stood up quickly, "the band?! Chrissy you can't do that! Something must be wrong with her. I know my sister, and something's up. This morning she was saying something about not being in a singing mood for the past two weeks or something. I was meaning to talk to her about it but never got around to it. You cant kick her out of the band, she's our sister."
"Well what other option do I have?!" Christina spoke, directing most of her anger towards Lisa.
"Give her a chance! Talk to her."
"If I talk to her, her feelings are getting hurt, you do it!" Christina said.
Lisa gave Christina a death glare, "I will." And with that she stomped upstairs.
"Well?" I spoke for the first time, "anyone agree with Christina?"
"Me." Amy said, "she's right. Lauren is slacking off. Our past 3 videos she wasn't being very productive. Our fans think that we're loosing our touch but it's not us, it's her."
"Well-"
"And Lauren has become so independent lately." Amy added on quickly.
"It's either cimorelli or Lauren." Christina said straightforwardly.
Just then. Lisa came through the door with a sad expression, "she quit."
"What?" Katherine asked with a worried expression.
"Lauren. She quit the FREAKING band." Lisa yelled angrily, obviously on the verge of tears.
"This is all your damn fault." She screamed before running out the room, and out the door.
We were all quiet for a few moments before Christina said something.
"Wow."
I looked up, "Lauren quit?" Still in shock of what had just happened.
"She quit.." I whispered quietly to myself.
