Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
Lauren Jauregui groaned when she heard that song in the bar, after she performed on the stage she went to the bar counter and ordered a drink to forget but that song, everytime she heard it she remember the past she wanted to forget, she guesses that no matter how she do she always remember it, especially Camila Cabello, her first love and she really fell for her hard but the brunette was so numb to feel her love for her and found her with another guy that she hates the most, the fucking Shawn Mendes and she don't know what Camila found in him, he's a playboy, a fuckboy, but she disregard it. Leaving Miami is her only choice to forget the brunette and stay in LA for years now but man she couldn't forget her no matter what she do, she engage in sex so many times and had a few girlfriends but all she could think is the brunette. The brunette consumed all of her time, she's always in her thoughts invading it like she owns it and she's frustrated.
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
After seeing them together and happy she felt numb, she knows that her and Camila are only just best friend but man it really hurts her that there's someone who could put a smile on those lips that she wanted to kiss for a long time now but didn't get to. When she met Camila, it was love at first sight and she can't get enough of her, she's not obsessed she just really love her because of her witty personality, her kindness eventhough she's clumsy sometimes but she found it cute. She really believe in forever when she met her but it all fade when Shawn came in the picture and stole her moments with Camila, their time for each other are long gone like she didn't exist anymore. Maybe Camila found out that she's a freak because you know she had extra appendage eventhough she's a woman, it freaks her out and avoid her like there's nothing going on between them, like they didn't shared memories, happy memories.
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
She raised her glass and chuckled bitterly when she heard it but she's really hoping that everything is gonna be alright because even until now she can't move on and it's been 4 years when she left after college, the last time she saw Camila and she don't know if Camila asked where she was, or maybe not. She's a successful architect now but because of the past she took a break and took a side line by performing in this bar that her new best friend Dinah Jane Hansen owned together with its wife Normani Kordei.
"I thought you already left."
And Lauren looked up because she buried her face in the counter table and saw Dinah serving drinks and she sighed, "I'm not really in the mood," she replied flatly.
"You're always not in the mood, thinking about Camila again?" and she saw her nod, "you really love her huh?"
"I am, but she doesn't feel the same, I really want to forget her but she didn't let me."
"Man that's hard."
"I know right, no matter what I do it's always her, I really thought leaving Miami is the answer, engage in sex like you told me and have a few girlfriends but didn't end well."
"It's because you're thinking of her."
"No DJ, do you remember Lucy the woman I'm almost engage to?" and she saw her nod, "I later found out that she's cheating on me, I really thought that she really love me but she's not, she is using me and it hurts," and she grab her glass and drank it in one swift and she push it towards Dinah and the tall Polynesian gladly pour it and Lauren drank it again and push it again towards Dinah, "maybe I'm not good in love and live alone with a lots of dogs, what do you think DJ, be honest with me."
"You need closure," Dinah simply answered, "once you have closure with this Camila girl then it's time for you to move on."
"You think so?" and saw her nod, "but how can I face her, I'm so vulnerable everytime I saw her."
"It's okay to be vulnerable sometimes since you love her, it means that your feelings for her are true."
And Lauren began to sob, "I felt pathetic, she might laugh at me and it's not good."
And Dinah sighed then she smiled when she saw a brunette walking towards the counter.
"Hi, I want to add."
"Same order?" Dinah asked to the brunette.
"Yeah."
"Even in a place like this I still hear her voice, why?" and Lauren cried.
And Dinah grinned, "just let her, broken hearted," she said to the brunette when the brunette stare at her best friend, "she's also drunk."
The brunette nod, "okay," and she bit her lip.
Dinah raise her left brow because the brunette keep looking at her best friend and she shrug it off because maybe she's one of the fan.
"Here's your order," Dinah said to the brunette.
The brunette accepted it and walked away leaving last glance to the raven haired woman.
Then Dinah nudge Lauren, "hey Lauser please tell me you're awake," and she nudge her again, "JAUREGUI! Don't you dare sleep on me I will not really carry your Cuban ass on your vehicle!"
"Jauregui..? Lauren...?"
Dinah saw the brunette from earlier and she looked at to Lauren who lifted its head lazily.
"What, I didn't sleep," Lauren said groggily to Dinah.
"Uhm—"
"Lauren is that you?" the brunette asked once again, this time walking towards the bar counter once more.
"What?" and she turn around and met the brunette and she chuckled, "I'm going crazy," she mumbled when she clearly remember the face of the girl she loved.
