Intertwined

Chapter 7

Once we arrived home, we headed towards the living room where the others were. As we approached the living room we hear music and loud laughter, then there was a loud thud. When we entered the living room, Dinah was laying on the ground while Ally and Normani laughed at her. "What happened?" I ask, furrowing my brow in confusion.

"We were dancing and Dinah decided to dance on the coffee table. She started twerking and then lost her balance and fell off the table." Normani says still giggling. Dinah groans in pain as a response. I walk over to her and help her up. "I think I broke my twerking bone." She says in a serious tone. There is a moment of silence and then we all burst out laughing, including Dinah. I help her over to the couch and sit her down. I decide to sit down with Dinah and watch Camila, Ally, and Normani act like dorks while dancing. 

Soon enough, they get tired and sit down next to me and Dinah. "Lets watch a movie!" Ally yells excitedly. We nod our heads in agreement and she gets up to choose a movie. Normani and Camila go to the kitchen to get all the junk food. Ally puts the film in and Camila and Normani come back with mountains of food and drinks in their hands. Camila mostly has candy piled up in her arms but still, it's a lot of food. They put it down on the coffee table and join us on the couch. When Camila sits down next to me, I instantly wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer. When all the trailers have passed and Ally has pressed play, we finally grab our food. Camila urges me to grab something and I hesitantly grab a cup and fill it with Sprite. I look over to Camila for approval but she shakes her head at me. I scan the table for something small and end up with a beg of Skittles. My choice satisfies Camila, since it is candy. I sit back and watch the movie. Ally had chosen "If I Stay".

By the time the movie ended Dinah was upset and yelling at the TV while we all just sat there thinking about life and love. "THEY CANNOT JUST DO THAT! THEY CAN'T END IT THERE! THESE LITTLE SNOTBUTTS BETTER MAKE A SECOND MOVIE SOON OR I WILL LOSE MY CHILL! SHE CAN'T JUST WAKE UP AND THEN THE MOVIE ENDS! WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY DO WE LIVE IN!" I finally decided to tune out Dinah's yelling and go to the bathroom. It's only 4 pm, what do we do now? I made my way back to the living room and everyone was on their phones. I sat down and took out my phone as well. For the next hour and a half, we went through our twitter notifications, DMs, and did some other stuff on our phones. This afternoon is pretty dull. But we have a concert tomorrow so this is our resting day before we have to spend our whole day tomorrow preparing for it. The concert tomorrow is our rescheduled concert. The one that our management had to reschedule because I passed out. I really do feel bad. I ruined it for a lot of people and put a lot of work on management. I hope this time I can make the concert worth it. I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

The next few hours were spent watching TV shows, blasting music, singing, and dancing. At around 9:30 we decided to get ready for bed since we had to get up early tomorrow. I went and took a shower and then changed into pajama shorts and an oversized long sleeved t-shirt. When I entered Camila's room to say good night, she wasn't there. I guessed she was in the bathroom so I just went to my room. When I got there, Camila was sitting by my window looking out at the sky. She turned around when she heard me. "Hey," she said with a smile. "Hi" I responded, clearly confused. "I'm gonna sleep here with you. I don't want you to be alone. I rather fall asleep knowing that your safe then going to sleep and worrying that you are suffering and not sleeping. I want you to go to sleep with a smile on your face, not in tears. I hope you don't mind if I sleep here for a few days." She explains. I just smile at her and get in bed, patting the spot next to me. She happily jumps into bed. We cuddle up together, our legs tangling and our arms around each other. Happiness bubbles up inside me causing me to smile. My eyelids begin to get heavy and my breathing slows down as I finally fall asleep...with a smile on my face.

"Laur, I just want to thank you for being such a great friend. You have brought so much happiness upon my life. You have always been here for me and I can never repay you for all you have done. Just know that I love you so so much and I will always be with you. I'm sorry. Goodbye Lauren." She says through the phone. I instantly drop the phone and run downstairs and out the front door. My feet don't stow down until I reach the front door of her house. I open her front door and run up the stairs to her room.
