A New Start: Fifth Harmony

Chapter 7

LAUREN'S POV

        "Okay, since you guys seem serious about this, I am going to need to tell you a brief part of Callie's life.  I am not going to go too far into detail since that is Callie's business on when she wants to open up, which by the way will take some time.  Callie is a very kind hearted and lovable girl but she has very small trust in people and it will take her a long time to open up with people." Mary spoke ad Ally and I nodded. "Anyways, Callie came here when she was 4. She has been here ever since. She has been adopted 6 times and either brought back or abused and sent back.  She is allergic to spider bites and some medicines like penicillin. She has a mental disorder and has to take pills for her anxiety.  I will give you the rest of her information in this packet and now all I need you to do in sign here, here, and here and you guys should be good to go." Mary finished.

        Ally and I signed the papers as fast as we could and hurried into the main area hopping that they were done picking up Callie's things. Opening the door, I see Camz, DJ, and Moni with Callie and a duffle bag. Geez... this girl needs some clothes.

        "Alright Callie, everything is set up and ready for you. You will be well taken care of.  If something happens or you ever need anything please know that we will always have a room for you. Stay in touch and please come back and visit." Mary says with a smile of hope.

        "I will, and thanks Mary. For everything, you saved me when I thought I was worthless and deserved nothing.  I will never be able to repay you." Callie said with tears brimming her eyes as she hugged Mary.

        "LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!" Camz said rushing toward the door and out onto the bus. We all followed knowing that this was the start of a new chapter in Fifth Harmony.

CALLIE'S POV

        I just set up my bunk which was the old guest bunk.  I am actually really excited to be starting a new life with these girls who I am surprisingly really enjoying.  I just don't trust them yet, well... only Dinah. She was there for me last night and I don't know, it seemed like she had a lot of experience dealing with kids. 

        Sitting on the front lounge couch all of the girls were doing there own thing.  They all seemed happy and just genuine people.

        "Hey girls, I was wondering if I was able to know a little about you all?" I asked shyly.

        "Yea, no problem! Girls come sit on the couch." Mani said sitting next to me.

        "Okay, can you guys just tell me a little about your family and your hometown. I'm not sure if this is too personal but like if you have a boyfriend or a close guy friend or basically any guy that will be around at any point. I am not that good with men do to past experiences with adoptive families.  I get better after a while I just need to know in advance." I said looking to the ground.

        "Sure, I'll start." Lauren said. "I'm 18. I live in Miami, I love to sing, listen to music, read, and paint.  I have a mom, dad, sister and a brother who are both younger.  I actually just got out of a relationship so currently single but we do have a body guard named Big Rob, who comes everywhere with us and our tour manager is also a man." She said.

        "I'm 21. I live in San Antonio, I love to sing, go to church, and bake. I have a mom, dad, and a brother. I am in a relationship with a guy named Troy.  I have been dating him for a while and he is a great guy.  The girls all love him too." Ally said as the girls all nodded.

        "I'm 18, I live in Houston Texas. I love to sing, dance, and do gymnastics. I have a mom and dad. I am in a relationship with Dinah's cousin Masi. Hes pretty cool." Mani says.

        "I'm 17. I'm from OC California. I love to sing, hang with my siblings, and babysit. I live with my mom and dad and a lot of my siblings and cousins. I have a huge family." Dinah laughed and the girls nodded. "I am also in a relationship with a football player named Nela.  He's really nice and caring." She finished.

        "Well, I guess that leaves me.... I am 17 also. I am from Miami, Florida like Lauren. I have a mom and dad and a little sister named Sofi.  I am not in a relationship but some of the guys we are going to be touring with might come around to hang out. Don't worry though.  no one is going to hurt you.." Camila ended.

        "Okay, thanks guys. What should we do?" I asked

        "Definitely movie time" Ally said. "Ill go and pick one." she continued as she walked into the bunk hallway to get the movie. She soon returned with Cheaper By the Dozen 1.  I love that movie and we all quickly walked into the back lounge.

        We all sat down on the couch and threw blankets over us. We had at least 4 bowls of popcorn and chips so that should last us.  The order of people was Ally, Normani, Dinah, Me, Camila, then Lauren. 

        The movie turned on and I watched it intently. Hal way through the movie I realized that no one else was paying attention and some were sleeping. Normani was asleep cuddled into Ally who was on her phone.  I was resting my head on Dinahs shoulder as she pulled my closer wrapping her arm around me on her phone. And Camila and Lauren were snuggled into each other whispering and laughing.  I looked up at Dinah and asked.

        "Whats up with them?" nodding over to Camila and Lauren.

        "Sadly, nothing.  They have been inseparably close best friends since they met on x-factor.  Most people make the assumption that they are dating but they sadly are not even thought I am their biggest shipper.  The fans all assume that they re dating and made it really awkward for them a while ago. Management said that they could not interact in the public eye so it kinda of started some tension but it quickly faded. I guess it just became second nature to them to shut off their friendship.  But since they had boyfriends not too long ago they started to interact more.  About 4 months ago everything went back to normal and they are all good." Dinah said into my ear. I nodded.

       "Yo Camren, get a room lovebirds" she said smirking. They both groaned and rolled their eyes at Dinaah

        "Whos Camren?" I said out loud.

        "It's our ship name" Camila started.

        "Yea, fans want us to date and everything. If Camila and I have an form of interaction a fan will flip about Camren." Lauren finished chuckling

I nodded closing my eyes falling asleep into Dinahs chest leaning back. The last thing I heard was a small whisper of girls saying I love you and gently placing me back into my bed.
