OUT - What happened to us (Camren Fanfiction) #5

CHAPTER 5

- This would be so much easier if Camila was here… - Dinah let out while they sit on a studio with notebooks on their hands and worked on their music. Their manager had left them with the task of checking the songs that would possibly be on their next album. They had a lot of lyrics to read and demos to listen to so they could define the tracks that would be part of a new era.

- Oh, that’s true. - Ally replied with a smile on her face, remembering the ex band mate. - She’s a very good composer. I mean, how does she have so many ideas? Where do they come from? - She laughed lightly and Dinah did the same.

- If it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have “No Way” the way that it is. I really like that song. - Dinah shared. - Such a talented girl… - She said with admiration.

- Yeah, and she never claimed any rights for that. Remember when… - Ally started to speak with enthusiasm, but someone stopped her from finishing.

- I don’t know if you guys have realized… - Lauren’s strong voice made everybody stop for a moment. - But we have work to do here. - She sounded extremely rude, which caused Dinah some discomfort.

- Oh come on, Lauren, we were just talking a little, we gotta relax a bit too. Besides, the situation is very likely to make us remember…

- Camila? - She questioned before Dinah could even finish. The anger on her voice was starting to worry the girls. Those green eyes looked extremely dark.

- Well, that wasn’t exactly what I was gonna say… - She answered in a defensive way.

- She left! Get over it! - She let out in a heavy way.

- It’s not like we could erase the past five years and pretend she was never here. - Dinah started getting mad too and differently from Ally, she had no hesitation at confronting Lauren.

- I wrote some verses to “Dope” along with her and contributed to “No Way” as well, but who’s asking for credit for that now? Perhaps I should leave too! - She shouted and got up from the floor, leaving the notebook behind and walking away in a very aggressive way.

- Lauren, chill out! - Dinah said. - We just… - Seeing how mad her band mate got, she tried to be nice to her in an attempt to get her to calm down.

- You grow up! She’s not here anymore. Fucking pointless conversation about the past! - Dinah was shook by the amount of anger on the green eyed girl’s voice. She saw the water on the brunette’s eyes before she left the room.

- Oh my God! - Ally said in a whisper when they were the only ones in the room. - I had no idea she was so hurt and sensitive about it. - She expressed her concern.

- It’s Lauren… - Dinah answered. - We never really know, Ally.

- Small advice… - Normani, who watched everything quiet, finally spoke. - Don’t bring Camila up whenever Lauren is around, unless you want to see her getting mad. It’s a very easy way to trigger her, so if you guys want to see her blow, do it, if not, act like that girl never existed.

- But it’s ridiculous, Mani. - Dinah answered. - We have nothing to do with what happened between them, she should control herself.

- Tell me when Lauren controled herself… - She rolled her eyes like if she was saying something extremelly obvious.

- Whatever… - DJ let out, clearly upset with the situation. - And what was that about her writting some verses with Camila for those songs? Wasn’t Camila who did it all and presented to us?

- Lauren did stay with Camila on the day she was doing it. - Ally mentioned. - We all went out, but she didn’t.

- I thought she had stayed because she simply preferred Camila’s company. - Dinah commented.

- Well, I thought she was interested on making out. - Normani let out an evil laugh at the end of her sentence. - I even thought she wouldn’t let Camila do anything and on the next day she’d have nothing to present.

- Yeah, I remember what you said when we left. - DJ said while she looked directly at Kordei. - Now I’m feeling curious about it…

- Ask her. - Normani said in a simple way.

- Guys. - Ally called. - Let’s change subject, she might just come back. - The oldest girl in the group wanted to avoid any kind of fight and she knew that if Lauren heard the things the girls were saying at that moment there would be a terrible fight there. The green eyed girl had showed she could get brutal easily that day.

Lauren walked out of the room, but she couldn’t walk away from her own mind. The memories would follow her wherever she went and in a matter of seconds she was taken back to a time in which her heart hadn’t come to know such strong pain.

- Perhaps if we changed few things about the song we could include it on the album. - Camila said during a discussion about the songs that would be part of their latest album intitled 7/27. They were in a great moment and the producers were giving them more voice over the production of the CD.

- Do you have any practical idea of what to do with this then? - One of the producers asked her. - Because I don’t see this song being sang by you guys. It’s just not good enough, I don’t see pontential to be a success.

- The fans usually apreciate emotional songs. I mean, they love “who are you”, perhaps we could give it a shot. I kind of have an idea, but I don’t know how to put into words. - The brown eyed girl said.

- Fine, Camila. - The producer agreed. - I better just give you a chance right away, otherwise you’ll keep on talking for a while trying to convice me and I really like you better singing. - He laughed in a slightly shady way. - We have a deadline, so give me something more concrete tomorrow and we can vote. - Camila nodded.

- What about “Good”? - Cabello asked.

- I have more sympathy for this one than I have for “No Way”, but I think it’s a little weak too. - He answered. - I can tell you’re feeling inspired today, do you have an idea for it too? - He had a slightly mocking tone.

- Actually, I do. - She answered lowly.

- Have them, do whatever you want.

- Ok, thank you.

- Alright guys, now let’s go have lunch, it’s time, I’m hungry. You all can have the rest of the day off, though I think Camila is not gonna take the day off, she seems to want to work a little more. - He noted with some irony. - We’ll see each other tomorrow morning to continue.

Leaving the studio they had lunch together, without many worries, since they had some time for themselves. Right after finishing their meal, Ally, Normani and Dinah decided to go out and breathe some fresh air.

- Are you sure you don’t want to come? - Normani asked Lauren when they were about to leave.

- Yeah, I’m sure. I’m gonna give some moral support to Camila. - She answered.

- Of course you are… - Normani commented in a suggestive tone.

- I mean, she’s possibly already locked in the studio by now. - Lauren noted.

- She ate really quickly. - Dinah noted.

- Yeah, she did. - Lauren agreed laughing lightly. - You know how she is.

- I do… - Dinah answered.

- You guys have fun. - Lauren said.

- You too! - Ally said back.

Lauren went to the studio she figured Camila would be in.

- Hey. - She said getting in the place, the brown eyed girl was sitting on the floor.

- Hi, Lauren. - She answered with a smile on her face, focusing her eyes on the girl in front of her, no longer looking at the notebook she had on her hands. - What are doing here? - She kept the smile on her features.

- I came to give you moral support. - She explained as she closed the door and walked towards the younger one.

- Moral support? - She asked laughing.

- Yeah. - Lauren said giggling. - Moral support. - She sat in front of her, still giggling.

- You know that I’m gonna put you to work if you stay here, right? - She said with a great mood, among laughters.

- It’s not like a cared. - Lauren answered smiling. - I love it anyways. - Camila saw a glow on those emerald eyes.

- Are you seriously already hungry? - Camila asked looking at the packs of food and the two bottles of water Lauren had put on the floor, beside them. - We literally just had lunch! - She exclaimed laughing.

- Oh, that’s for later. I know you’re not gonna want to leave this place so soon, so we better have something to eat here. - She explained. - This one is mine. - She put one bottle of water closer to herself. - And this one is yours. - She placed the other next to Camila.

- Thanks. - Camila said in a very sweet way as she stared at the girl in front of her, who smiled as someone that said ‘no problem’.

- So, what do we got so far? - Lauren asked interested.

- Well, I’m just trying to feel the song, you know? - She explained. - It’s like there’s something a little out of place, or missing… I’m just trying to feel it.

- I get you. - She said staring at the brown eyed girl. - Press play. Let me try to feel it too. - The intensity of her gaze started to increase as she looked at Camila.

- Alright. - She said simply, not staring back at Lauren.

After a few hours and some attempts to make that song worthy of being on the album, they were both getting tired and frustrated.

- Ok, now I’m hungry. - Camila expressed herself. - Give me something to eat. - She said staring at her band mate, who had some things to eat near her.

- I’m right here. - Jauregui answered while opening her arms and smiling in a playful way.

- Lauren! - The brown eyed girl spoke in reproving way.

- Oh, come on… - The brunette laughed.

- That’s not what I meant. - She explained laughing. - And you know that.

- Fine. - The green eyed girl said putting her arms down and taking a pack of chips, which was thrown at Camila’s direction.

- Gracias. - She thanked.

Lauren quickly finished eating some cereal bars, while Camila still ate the chips she received from the girl that kept her company that afternoon, who couldn’t stand being quiet having the latin in front of her.

- Give me some. - The older girl asked, approaching.

- This is literally ending. I’m not giving you the last chips. - The brown eyed one answered and ate faster with a playful expression on her face, making it clear she was into joking. - You already ate.

- Oh, but it wasn’t chips… - She said getting closer.

- This is the last one. - Camila showed the food between her fingers. Lauren made a puppy face, indicating she was asking for that, which caused Cabello to laugh in a light way. For one second she really thought about giving it to the black haired girl, but she felt like teasing at that moment and so she simply threw it on her mouth in a swift movement. The surprise on Lauren’s face made the act worthy.

- I can not believe it! - She let out laughing. - I actually though you’d give it to me.

- I was going to, but then I couldn’t resist denying you this. I knew you’d make a funny face. - She said after swallowing.

- I wanted to feel the taste. - Jauregui explained, with a disappointed expression.

- I still feel it… On my mouth. - She let out in a playful and suggestine way. Lauren didn’t take long to get the message and found the brunette’s lips in a fun kiss, followed by laughter.

- It’s actually better like this. - The green eyed girl commented with a smile on her face, to then close the distance between them again in a kiss that grew in desire at every second. Lauren had always been a huge dependent of Camila’s touches, who wasn’t any different, but the older one expressed it differently, being extra sexual at times. - You’re dope. - She commented among kisses on the younger’s lips, to then find her neck in sensual touches. Camila always had an immediate reaction to that specific touch provided by her band mate, her body moved in response to Lauren’s mouth while her skin showed chills. - You’re pretty fucking dope… - Jauregui let out in a whisper, close to Camila’s ear, her raspy voice sounded extremely pleasant, almost like a song and Camila’s brain worked extremely fast.

- Wait! Say that again! - Cabello said backing off, which caused Lauren to be surprised.

- What? That you’re dope? - She asked laughing.

- No, you said “pretty fucking dope…” - She noted while her brain worked on a thousand thoughts.

- Yeah, I said “you’re pretty fucking dope”. - Lauren repeated in a confused tone. - What’s the point of it, Camila?

- I don’t know what else to say, you’re pretty fucking dope… - She let out and the older girl simply stared at her. Cabello started snapping her fingers in a rhythm. - I don’t know what else to say, instead of you’re pretty fucking dope… - She sang. - This is not right… - She pointed while thinking, to then go back to snapping her fingers. - I don’t know what else to say, but you’re pretty fucking dope. - She kept singing the sentence to make sure the rhythm was right. - I don’t know what else to say but you’re pretty fucking dope.

- Just so you know… - Lauren continued, following Camila’s finger snap, who continued the act but stopped singing, allowing the girl in front of her to use her voice. - I’ve been thinking about ways that I wanna hold you close, just so you know…

- This sounds great! - Camila said stopping the finger snap. - I gotta write it down! - Lauren smiled at the girl’s reaction, who quickly took her notebook and wrote the lyrics. - By the way, it sounds better when you sing it…

- Thanks… - A fool smile showed up on Lauren’s features.

- So, instead of “I don’t know what else to say, instead of baby you are so good” we sing “I don’t know what else to say but you’re pretty fucking dope”. - Camila pointed. - And we add “I’ve been thinking about ways that I wanna hold you close”.

- That’s great, Camz, it sounds so good. You’re really good at this. - She said honestly.

- Thanks, but I’m pretty much just using your words.

- You’re making them musical. - They smiled.

- Just had an idea! - Camila shouted excited after a few minutes, Lauren simply stared at her waiting for the following sentences. - “And now I’m trying to find the words to tell you how I feel and show you that it’s real”.

- That’s much better than “baby I wanna see us both building something real, having something real”.

- Right? - Camila said with shiny eyes. - And then we can remove the following verses to repeat “and now I’m trying to find the words” and then go to the pre-chorus.

- Yeah, it sounds better like this.

- More musical, right?

- Yeah.

- We gotta do something about the beat too. - Camila pointed already thinking about something. - It’s too light, it would sound better with some more base.

- Agree! - Lauren commented, letting herself be taken by the music too. - I liked the finger snaps, sounds pretty fun.

- Oh, that’s true! - Camila said excitedly while snapping her fingers again and shaking her body softly to the beat of the song. - I guess “No Way” needs a stonger base too, to make it more meaningful, just like it’s suggested by the lyrics. - She noted after disconnecting herself from the previous song.

- I didn’t know you were so into “No Way”.

- I am. - She said with a smile on her face. - Because you are. - Lauren’s face blushed a little and she smiled in a fool way. - Let’s work on it later, as soon as we finish… - She thought for a moment. - “Dope”.

- Cool, now “Good” is “Dope”. I liked.

- Yeah, because “Dope” is… Dope. - Camila said with a funny voice and they both laughed out loud.

The next hours provided them to make a huge progress on the songs but they couldn’t consider it done yet.

- It’s getting late, we should go to the hotel. - Lauren said, realizing it had passed 9 PM.

- But this is not done yet. - She objected.

- We can continue in the hotel room. - The green eyed argued. - We just need a laptop, which is something we have. - She continued as she realized Camila had a favorable expression on her face. - Besides, we need to have a real meal.

- Yeah, I think I’m getting hungry again… - She let out with a thoughtful expression.

- Come on! - She got up and offered her hand. - Let’s get someone to take us there.

- Ok. - Cabello held her hand as she helped her to stand up.

They usually shared the room at hotels, which made things easier. The girls were already used to that, Camila and Lauren only stayed in different rooms when they had some kind of disagreement.

The idea of going to the hotel room was great. They got to relax a little, which allowed them to get more creative, they needed a little break. They laughed while having dinner and ordered a bottle of coffee, which according to Camila, was a necessary thing to keep awake.

- It’s almost 4 AM… We’re crazy. - Lauren pointed out looking at the time on her phone.

- Friends with insanity, my baby, because people sometimes suck… - Camila confessed in a playful way. - But insanity is quite faithful. - She laughed at the end of the sentence.

- Wait, I liked that sentence… - Lauren’s brain worked fast and provided her a very good idea.

- Which sentence? - She asked with curious eyes.

- Friends with insanity…

- Oh!

- I guess we could put it on the song. - They had “Dope” worked out and at that point they only worked on “No Way”.

- Let’s review the lyrics… - Camila said while she scrolled through the computer screen.

Not sleeping at night got them to feel tired, but they were very satisfied with the work they had done with the songs, they were sure that after the changes they had made their team would agree on including them on the CD.

- You look a little tired. - The producer noted when they started the meeting in the morning. - Did you sleep last night? - His tone wasn’t very pleasant and after working an entire night, Camila’s patience level was lower than the usual.

- Is that important? - She shoot back, making him get speechless, he didn’t expect for that reaction.

- Ok. Show us what you got. - He said, trying to be friendly, after realizing his comment hadn’t been appropriate.

- So… - She started, making the move that was decisive to include those two tracks on the album.

Lauren’s hands were shaking while she held a bottle of water and tried to control her urge to punch something while screaming and crying. She thought drinking some water would help her to calm down but it wasn’t working. She got herself a cigarette and went outside, hoping that the drug would be effective. It was, but not enough to stop a few tears from falling, she was too angry to control that. The pain on her chest was real, she literally felt her body ache.

- Lauren. - Ally said behind the brunette, keeping a distance. - Everybody is there, it’s just missing you to start the discussion. - She explained in a respectful tone. Brooke had always been the only girl who didn’t confront Lauren and who always avoided any kind of fight.

- You can start without me. - She answered without facing the girl. - I’ll go when I’m done here. - She raised her right arm enough to show the cigarette between her finger. Her voice showed no emotion.

- Ok. - The smaller girl agreed and walked back to the studio.
