Camila

"Mila... Mila wake up..." I hear a soft familiar voice whisper, but choose to ignore it considering how exhausted I am. I've only gotten an hour of sleep and am not in the mood.

"Move Ally, I've got this." I recognize Dinah's voice.

"Dinah don-"

"Mila! Wake up, loser!" Dinah jumps on the bed, causing me to nearly fall off.

My eyes snap open and I glare at her and her goofy smile.

"What?" I ask with a loud sigh.

She crawls over to me places her knees on either side of me, looking into my eyes. I raise my eyebrows curiously, waiting for her to answer my question.

"We have an interview." Ally informs me before Dinah, who is still looking at me with a grin, can respond.

"Oh..." I reply simply, my eyes still locked with the Polynesian hovering above me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask slightly confused.

"Like what?" She furrows her eyebrows.

"Like... i dont know... you're just so happy and smiley."

"Oh..." She pauses for a moment, the smile going away while she thinks. "i dont know..." She shrugs but smiles again.

We stay in silence for a minute, Dinah still hovering above me, looking at me with big brown eyes. For some odd reason, it's not awkward at all. We just continue to stare at each other. I don't even realize that there's a smile on my face until it disappears due to one thought.

Lauren.

"Wait an interview? What about Lauren?" I frown.

Dinah's smile falls immediately at the mention of the older girls name.

"We're just going to have to do it without her." Normani shrugs, making her presence in the room known.

"Oh..."

We're all silent for a moment. It's an awkward silence, now. Dinah is no longer looking at me. In fact, she suddenly removes herself from above me and crawls off the bed again before clearing her throat.

"Well Walz, we'll, uh, leave you to get ready." Dinah says as she exits my bedroom.

"Try to be quick. Chase will be here in ten minutes to pick us up." Normani added as her and Ally followed Dinah out the door, closing it behind them.

I lay there for a moment, just staring at the ceiling.

I wonder how Lauren is. This is only the second day without her. My heart aches not having her around. I never thought I could miss someone so much.

I wonder what she's doing right now. I wonder if she misses me. Is she as much of a mess as I am? Does her heart hurt without me around? She said she needed a break, so probably not.

I take a deep breath, trying to clear my thoughts as I slowly get out of bed. Dragging myself over to my dresser, I grab some sweats and dig around for a hoody since we're going to have glams once we get there.

Of course, the first hoody I pull out is Lauren's. It's not my favorite one, but it's in my top five. My heart clenches and I can't help but miss her more.

Why didn't I just tell her?

"Mila! Five minutes!" I hear Ally call.

"I know!" I call back as I walk to the bathroom.
