From Mila: Are you headed home?

From Laur: Is school out yet?

Normani replied 'yes' to both of them as she walked towards her car, a cute little bug. Her phone vibrated again not seconds later.

From Mila: Please come over, I need you.

Normani froze. Camila never asked her for help except for when she was really desperate. Another reply shook her out of her thoughts.

From Laur: Can you stop by? It's...important.

The brunettes eyes bulged. Great. Lauren needed her too? 'Important' was their code word because Lauren almost never deemed something 'important'.

Well fuck. What could possibly be wrong with BOTH of them? Maybe the fight? It was pretty brutal. Maybe...the kiss? Normani had walked up to them before Austin approached them and honestly...she was a little too enthralled by what her two friends were doing to even see him coming. If she was mesmerized by it there was no way Lauren and Camila wouldn't be...so maybe that was it? But what would they need her for now...? Knowing those two they probably did or said something stupid. That must've been it. She sighed heavily and typed:

To Mila: What did Lauren do?

To Laur: What did Camila do?

Lauren's message came first this time.

From Laur: Please Normani just come over. I really just need someone to talk to. PLEASE.

Dammit. This was serious.

Normani waited for Camila's reply, knowing that where Lauren would want to wait for her, Camila would probably send a long and vague- oh. There it is.

From Mila: Fucking hell Mani. I fucked up. REALLY bad. I drove Lauren to my place to check on her injuries and we had a moment or something and she...she fucking KISSED me! I panicked Mani. I said a lot of shitty things that I didn't mean and...god fucking dammit why didn't you tell me her dad hit her? God I feel like such a bitch! Please just get over here! NOW!

Oh my god. Normani thought as the message processed in her brain, the pieces coming together.

Lauren's dad HIT her?

But...Lauren said that he didn't? She was lying- of course she was lying! Fucking Lauren Jauregui with her pride. Normani sighed again (really, she had the two most complicated friends)...she knew which one needed her more now.

To Mila: I'm sorry Mila. I can't, I'll be over in a couple hours- please don't do anything stupid. Love you.

To Laur: I'm on my way.

Lauren was currently lying on her couch wrapped up in her favorite blanket- it was covered in unicorns, fraying at the edges and only fit around half her body but she loved it.

That fight with Camila brought up a lot of hurtful things that she constantly tried to forget about and right now she was trying hard not to burst into tears.

"Lo?" a soft voice said. Normani had helped herself in, like always. As soon as saw she saw Lauren she rushed over to her," Aww Lauren..." she cooed, concerned. Normani lifted her head and got on the couch so that she laid on her lap.

"Everything's so messed up Mani," Lauren's voice trembled. She ditched the pillow she was originally holding and clutched onto Normani's leg instead. The badass was more like a little kid at heart, a side of her almost no one got to see.
