Halsey's POV

"Camz...jusss talk to me...please..." Lauren slurred drunkenly as Zayn and G laid her down gently on her bed.

"Where'd you find her?" Cara asked with concern as I took off Lauren's shoes and jacket.

"The pub downtown," Bebe replied solemnly, looking worried.

"Camz...? Talk to me..."

"She's out of control," Cara said heatedly, "This is the third time this week. This needs to stop before it gets worse."

"Yeah, but she won't fucking listen to us," Zayn said in frustration, "How the fuck are we supposed to get her to stop binging on booze every day?"

"I think we should ask Luce to talk to her," G suggested.

Don shook his head and said, "That'll just make Lo mad. Luce's been getting loads of good modeling gigs up in New York. If we tell her how out of control Lo is, she'll probably drop everything and come back, which Lo won't like at all. I think we should handle this ourselves."
