Secrets

TMI

I felt my phone buzzing in my onesie pocket. I quickly retrieved despite it only to see "Krissy Kat" on the display name. I felt my tears already slipping out involuntarily. I felt eyes on me but I didn't care at this point. I tapped the universal green talk button and put my hand over my mouth to avoid my whimpers being heard over the phone.

Hello

"Hm?"

 I avoided making any sentences knowing she'd recognize me crying right away.

"Hey.. We're in the beach house now. It's really nice. Thank you."

I completely lost it right there in then. I realized how much I already missed her, and I could hear how much she missed me. I felt someone take the phone away and I didn't bother to fight it. I felt another person peeling my hands off my face and hugging me. I buried my face in their neck hugging them back.

"Hello? Yeah. She's fine. A bit emotional I guess, haha. She seems a bit more calmer, hold on." I heard Lauren say from the side of me.

I looked up to see Camila giving me a sympathetic look. I smiled weakly at her and took the phone from Lauren's hand avoiding anymore eye contact. I stood up and left the room and was now standing in the opposite side of the room as the girls to avoid being heard.

"Hello." I shakily said.

"Stop crying dork, before I cry too. And trust me, I'm trying really hard not to."

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"Everything..."

"No it was an over-reaction. I'm sorry. But enough of this, what are you really crying about?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play with me. You're not the type to cry in front of others over us fighting and me calling you."

I looked around to make sure I wasn't being overheard.

"It's nothing big. Just Ally is still mad about the whole old manager leaving."

"Is she giving you attitude still? I sw-"

"It's fine. It's reasonable to be mad at me. I'm younger, inexperienced. I don't care about that though."

"What then?"

"You know. I'm a huge harmonizer. When your idol -you know- treats you that way, it gets to you."

"I'm taking a plane and putting her in her place."

"NO! Goodness no. She already hates me as it is. I can't handle anymore. It hurts as is."

"I hate this.. I'll be back soon. Just hold on a bit."

I heard a sudden creaking noise in the hallway.

"Yeah okay. I'll call you later. Bye."

Before she could answer I had hung up and was making my way to the hallway. As I rounded the corner that lead to the other rooms, I saw Ally rubbing her head and Dinah on the floor. I froze in my steps. As soon as I realized what was going on, I didn't know what to say.

"I promise I came here for a glass of water." Dinah said standing up.

"What....?" I said looking back and forth between her and now Ally looking at the ground. "How much did you hear?"

"Ally was here before me." she said pointing at the petite figure beside her.

"Was not!" she said defensively now.

She kept avoiding my eyes.

"I only heard from something about 'she already hates me as it is'. Ally was there before. I was just wondering what she was being all fidgety about and creeping through the side." Dinah said throwing her hands up in defense.
