Music Is My Medicine

Chapter 1: Preparation

1 month before the tour

All the girl's sat listening to their managers about the Neon lights tour, they were beaming with excitement.

"Guys this tour is going to be awesome" Normani exclaimed as the five exited the meeting

"I know I can't wait!" Ally said excitedly retrieving similar expressions of joy from the others

After hanging out for a little while the five had to catch their flights back home. Camila and Lauren had the same flight back to Miami. They found their seats and took off "Lauren can we cuddle?" Camila gave pleading eyes at the raven-haired girl "sure Camz" they snuggled and watched a few movies. After they landed they separated to be with their families "see ya in a couple weeks Mila!" Lauren waved as she joined her parents "see ya!" Camila waved back.

1 week later

Camila groaned and curled under her covers, she felt terrible. 'This is the worst cold I've ever had this couldn't be happening, not now, not this close to tour' she thought. Camila's mom came in to check her daughter's temperature, she placed her hand on her forehead cringing at the warmth. Sinu sat on the edge of Camila's bed stroking her hair out of her face. Camila was praying that her mom could just take the pain away, her mom spoke soothing words in her ear till she fell asleep.

Sinuhe adjusted Camila so she was comfortable under her blankets, then wiped the sweat dotting her forehead. She left the room to find some supplies that would help her feel better, making her way downstairs she grabbed, water, medicine, tissues, and a thermometer. Camila hadn't moved when she placed the materials on her bedside table. She carefully put the thermometer in her ear it beeped revealing a 102० fever, she sighed then put a damp washcloth on her forehead before leaving her to sleep.     

Camila jolted awake feeling her stomach hitch, she sprinted to the bathroom dropping to her knees in front of the toilet emptying her half-digested food into the toilet. Tears stung her eyes after the second bout of sickness, she sniffled she wanted to stop feeling so bad. A moment later she heard footsteps approach her, it was her dad he came and rubbed her back and held her hair till she was done.

Alejandro helped his daughter to her feet and he assisted her to her bed. The pair sat on the edge of Camila's bed, Camila laid her head on her dad's shoulder and he stroked her hair. Camila's mom came in holding a bowl of Sopa de Pollo and sat beside her to try and coax her into eating but Camila only shied away not wanting anything in her stomach to throw up again. Sinuhe didn't take no for an answer and ended up feeding her daughter a few bites before Camila turned into her dad's shoulder. Her dad gave her some more medicine and water that made her drowsy as ever, he adjusted her so she was propped up slightly on her pillows, he then placed a small kiss as did Sinu on her boiling forehead before leaving her to rest again.

Camila didn't fall asleep due to her head pounding instead she turned on her tv to watch something to make her fall asleep. That's when Sofie came in "Hi Kaki!" she said loudly

Camila smiled "Hi Sof" she mustered all her strength to say that

"How are you feeling?" Sofie said while climbing into bed with her

"Fine. Wanna watch a movie?" Camila spoke weakly

Her sister nodded and cuddled up to her.

An hour into the movie Sofie fell asleep, Alejandro carried Sofie to her room when he came to check on Camila. Camila fought sleep for another 2 hours then crashed.

It was at 3 am that Mila got up, she felt like she was gonna throw up. So she slowly trudged to the bathroom feeling weaker than ever she paused to steady the room spinning but fell to the ground.
