Lauren Jauregui always had a life long dream of making it to Broadway and to do that, audition to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts for a musical theater degree. Camila Cabello also had that dream.
After a summer of starring along side each other...
And here comes the worst part, "A Heart Full of Love." Camila and Austin had to sing this number while I came in at the end. I honestly wanted to die every time. They sang with such passion and emotion that it was hard to tell if they were just acting or if they were actually in love. But Camila always said to not get worked up over it. After all, it was just a musical that we've been at for months and in real life, I had her. But I still couldn't help but get a little jealous. It would have been different if it was some other guy, but the fact that Austin was Marius made it so much worse.
I was not acting when I sang in the background near the end of the number. I sang sorrowfully but acted like I wanted not Marius but Cosette. It made my performance better. And when they kissed, thank God I had to look away in sadness because I couldn't bear to watch them. The same thing happened in "One Day More" when they sang their verses to each other and I had to be by Austin's side, witnessing their romantic exchange.
I was quickly pulled out of my depression when I sang "On My Own." I knew that I had to be sad during this song as well but I just wasn't. It's hard to be upset when I'm not alone for once. I mean I acted like that, but deep down I felt happy when I sang it. It was a Broadway classic and I loved belting out the poetry of the lyrics. I mainly focussed on the emotion and used it to turn it into a powerful, show stopping number.

Camila's POV
"Great rehearsal today, everyone! Have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday," Mrs. Diggins waved goodbye to the cast and crew. Finally, rehearsal was over and I could go home and sleep. I had an exciting Valentines date tomorrow with Lauren to get ready for. I wasn't so sure where she was taking me but I knew it was going to be amazing. She'd been jumping around all day about it, I couldn't help but laugh at her adorableness. For her gift, I got her another thing from Pandora but this time a ring.
It was a sterling silver Pandora Luminous Leaves Pearl ring and it was beautiful. I was so sure Lauren would love it as she loves pearl rings.

"Hey, Camila?" Austin tapped my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes before turning around, facing him. "What?"
"I don't think I'm going to pick you up for the 'date' tomorrow," he said. I was having him come by my house to pick me up for my date with Lauren. It would be good for my parents to see.
"Why not?" I wondered confused.
"I don't care about telling your parents anymore. I won't tell them. This thing has gotten to the point of you just using me as your beard and I want to be let go," he pleaded.
"B-but you have to. Tomorrow's Valentines Day and it's important for my parents to see that we're together."
"Ugh it's exhausting. I don't care about it anymore. I just want to be left alone now and I know you guys do too. Have Lauren pick you up like she should. I'm done," he huffed, walking away upset. Shit, what was I gonna do now?
