"That concert was dope!" Dinah commented as we made our way into the train, the rest of us muttering in approval. We were all extremely tired, and this ride would take hours considering we were practically across the city.

"Look, seats!" Ally pointed to a pair of seats that were facing each other, and we eagerly made our way over, not realizing that it only held four and we, in fact, had five girls in our group tonight.

"Why did I have to be the one standing?" Camila pouted, crossing her arms just as the train lurched forward, dragging her down with it. Without thinking, I immediately held my arms out, wrapping them around her waist and pulling her onto my lap before she could fall.

Camila smiled gratefully at me, wrapping her arms around my neck so she wouldn't fall forwards if the train decided to make another abrupt stop. "Thanks, Lolo."

"Wouldn't want you falling for someone else," I joked, earning a giggle from her, and a fake gag from Normani.

"Stop being so cute guys, literally." She chuckled, earning light laughs from Ally and Dinah, and a flustered look from me. I stole a glance at Camila, who rolled her eyes half-heartedly as she gave me a 'Can you believe them?' Look.

"Guys, but Demi was so much better in person!" Ally squealed, earning nods from approval all around and the subject changed rapidly as the ride wore on.

I found myself disconnecting from the group, my eyelids almost closing on their own. ~

I snuggled closer to whatever was in my arms, determined to fall back asleep after being awoken by a camera flash. "This is so gonna be used for blackmail!" I heard Dinah say smugly, and couldn't resist opening my eyes.

I recoiled as the light penetrated my pupils and waited for them to dilate before realizing that the camera I had heard before was aimed straight at me, or rather, us. I could feel Camila's soft breath on my neck causing goosebumps to run up my body, and could hear the cute little snoring noises she made as she nuzzled closer to my body. My arms were wrapped tightly around her midsection, while her hands bunched up my shirt as she gripped it tightly.

I slowly lifted my head from it's resting spot leaning on hers, and took at quizzical look at my three other best friends. "How long have I been out?" I knew Camila was a deep sleeper and didn't bother whispering, not even close to unwrapping my arms from the sleeping girl.

"About..." Normani paused to check her imaginary watch, acting bored.

"Let's just say we get off in two stops. Might want to wake Mila up."  Dinah spoke on behalf on Normani, and gave me a smirk as I groaned.

Not only was Camila a deep sleeper, but she was always cranky when someone woke her up. "No way!" I whined, not wanting to be on the receiving end of Camila's negative response to being awoken.

"Someone has to wake her up, Lauren." Ally pointed out, giving me a small smile.

I looked down at the girl in my arms, noting how peacefully slept. "She seems so tired though..." A frown fell upon my lips and I looked back up at my friends, met with awaiting looks.

After realizing there was no way out of this, I sighed and brought my gaze back down to the sleeping girl in my arms. "Camila? Hey, Camila, wake up." The girl only snuggled closer to me, completely ignoring my wake-up call. "Camz, we're getting off at the next stop, you have to wake up." I tried, and no matter how much I pestered her she refused to open her eyes.

Our stop eventually came, and I had no choice but to carry her bridal style off of the train. "Whipped!" Dinah yelled as she walked past us and Camila barely even flinched, but I could swear I saw the ghost of a smile on her lips as I carried her home.
