How Did You Know? (Cody Simpson/ Lauren Cimorelli, Jai Waetford/ Dani Cimorelli)

Chap. 10: Ex.... Ex- Manager, That Is

If you were waiting for drama, just know that it starts in this chapter.

Lauren's P.O.V.

It's our last free day before we have to leave to go on tour. I pack almost all my clothes. I will keep my iPod and its charger with me. I take a lot of photos to remind me of home. I pack all the toiletries I need and consider myself done. That's when I decided to film a cover of just me singing. I decided to do Come Back... Be Here by Taylor Swift.

"Hi guys, I was bored so I decided to film a cover of just me singing Come Back... Be Here by Taylor Swift. This is our last day before the tour starts, so get pumped! Anyway, this is dedicated to all the friends and family I'll be leaving behind for a really long tour. I'll miss you, but I'll be back!"

I began to sing, accompanying myself on the piano.

You said it in a simple way

4 a.m. , the second day

How strange that I don't know you at all

Stumbled through the long goodbye

One last kiss, now catch your flight

Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself, "Don't get attached",

But in my mind I play it back

Spinning faster than the plane that took you

This is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back... be here. Come back... be here.

Lisa walked in, and sat on the piano bench with me. I stopped playing and singing.

"Can I help?" She asked.

"Sure." I said, and we started to sing together, finishing the first chorus. No harmonies, just the lyrics together. It was great. Two are better than one, as they say.

"I guess you're in New York today

I don't wanna need you this way

Come back... be here. Come back... be here.

Delicate beginning rush

A feeling you can know so much

Without knowing anything at all

And now that I can't put this down

If I had known what I know now

I never would have played so nonchalant

Taxi cabs and busy streets

Can never bring you back to me

I can't help but wish you took me with you

This is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this.

Come back... be here. Come back... be here.

I guess you're in London today

I don't wanna need you this way

Come back... be here. Come back... be here.

This is falling for you in the cruelest way

This is falling for you when you are worlds away
