Lauren’s POV:

Ever since me and Camila had fallen out, everything is so sad. All the girls know about it and keep trying to get us talking again but it’s no use, we can’t even look at each other. I really do miss Camz and I know she misses me too. There’s been a few news reports saying that ‘Camren have broken up’. They don’t even know if we were dating or not!

“Babe?” I heard someone say next to me on the couch. It was Dinah.

“Yeah?” I whispered.

“Are you okay?” Dinah shuffled closer to me, embracing me into her arms.

“No. I don’t know how much more of this I can take! Camila leaving me, all these fucking news reports thinking they know everything when they know jack shit, the cyber bullying hasn’t got better either!” I cried into Dinah’s chest.

“I know, I know.” Dinah hushed me, rocking me in her arms. “You haven’t done anything have you?”

“No…” I mumbled.

“Maybe you could try and sound a little convincing.” Dinah whispered, reaching for my wrist which I was covering with my hoodie.

“No, Dinah, no!” I wept trying to break free.

“Lauren! You can trust me! I need to see right this second!” Dinah commanded. I gave in and let my arm go weak. Dinah slowly and gently pulled up my hoodie sleeve to find several deep red cuts on my wrist.

“LAUREN!” Dinah yelled shocked, tears running violently down her face.

“I’m s-sorry.” I stuttered through tears.

“What did you use?” Dinah whispered.

“The blade of a pencil sharpener.” I mumbled.

“Why do this to yourself? You can’t let them big-headed cunts win! It looks so painful…” Dinah gently ran the tips of her fingers over the scars.

“It really was painful but it helped me express my feelings.” I wiped tears from Dinah’s face.

“Lauren, this is not the answer! You need to stop, now!” Dinah warned.

“I will, I won’t do it again!” I promised.

“I don’t believe you, I’m sorry. I think I need to tell someone…” Dinah whispered.

“NO YOU CAN’T!” I screamed. “DINAH PLEASE!”

“What if the fans see Lauren! What if the world sees!” Dinah panicked.

“I’ll keep them covered.” I mumbled.

“Lo, we’re on tour, all our outfits are sleeveless!” Dinah reminded me.

“I’ll wear bracelets!” I cried.

“I don’t know Lo…” Dinah said honestly.

“Please one chance” I begged.

“Okay, one chance…”
