Hold Me Over

Twenty-one

I take off the robe as silently as I can and slip into bed, I wrap my arms around her mid-section and pull her in close, I stick my face in the crook of her neck and breathe in her scent.

“Hey…” she says her voice barely a whisper “how’d it go?”

“It went better than I expected, I think will all be OK… soon enough, we will all be OK.”

Mila turned around in my arms so she was facing me and pressed her lips on mine “I love you”

I smile “I love you too.”

She kisses me one last time then lays down on my shoulder and we both drift off to sleep

LAUREN

Two weeks later

 “It was stupid of me, I was just jealous of what they had, how to people could be so happy together when I wasn’t. I was sad and lonely and insanely jealous, especially since it was Camz with someone else.”

Simon nodded “I understand Lauren, but either way I’m very glad you told me. I think you all needed to understand what can happen when it comes to groups dating within each other you need to all be aware of the things that can happen. I never planned on you all staying apart for long but it’s been a month, you’re voices are rested and I think you guys now understand and are ready to get back in the game.

“I’ve called the rest of the girls and you guys will be meeting again at Topshop. I’m pretty sure that paparazzi will be there so make sure you look you’re best, and you guys have to be ready to sing Telling Me, I believe that should be you’re next single.” Simon stands up and gives me a hug “I’ll see you soon OK?”

I nod my head enthusiastically as he makes the way out the door.

I finally get to see all my girls again!

Over the past month we made plans to see each other but we haven’t all been in the same room together.

When I finally made it to Topshop I could see Ally and Normani inside, so I pushed the door wide open and ran inside.

“Ally! Mani!” I called and ran at them

There squeals of excitement reached mine and we collided into each other laughing and hugging each other tightly.

“God, I missed you guys” I said when we pulled back and heard “miss you too” 

“Hey! What about me?” and we all turned to see Dinah Jane, hands on her hips, extensions in looking beautiful.

“Dinah!” I said and was instantly running at her, smashing into her and squeezing tightly, but the best part of it was when another two hands wrapped around all of us and we all turned to see Camila hugging us all, her head resting on Ally’s.

“Camz!” and “Camila” erupted through all of us. We all hugged her tightly then broke away.

“I missed you guys” Normani says smiling

“I missed all of you too!” Ally says and then we’re hugging again.

It takes us about 20 minutes to calm down and stop hugging and to talk about our time off and then we were shopping laughing and posing for the paps.

After shopping we sat down with L.A. and Julian to talk about what our next single should be. Our harmonizers didn’t forget about us but most of the public did, it wasn’t that we were forgotten but the world needed to be reminded that we existed.

We decided that Telling Me was going to be our next single and since it wasn’t on the Better Together EP it would freak out the Harmonizers because it was one of their favorites. Then after that we met with our Chorographer (and Normani) to come up with new dance moves for it.

It was like we never left, which made me happy we all fell back in the flow of being together.

Yes, Camila spent more time with Normani, but it didn’t give me that sickening angry feeling that it use to give me. I was OK with their choice and I knew they loved each other so it was OK. I made sure that I spent time with Alexa and Vero while I was gone and they told me by being the bigger person I was doing the right thing. Camila also told me whenever we spent time together that she was proud of me and thanked me every time.

I would always hug her and kiss her forehead I still loved her a lot but it was something I was getting over. Camz would always be something like a first love to me but she was happy with Normani and I was happy to see both of them happy.

Normani now feels like a fling to me, what we had, just random kisses and hugs. I don’t think it meant much to either of us.

But the band was back together and we were all friends again. It wasn’t awkward like I had expected it to be. But I now that were right when we always say that we are Better Together

 

 

One more chapter to go guys! I really hope you guys liked the way this turned out and sticking with me through all this :) I love you guys for it
