Camila's POV:

Paparazzi, paparazzi everywhere. "Holy shit." I mumble as soon as I see the hundreds of flashing cameras. "Fuck Camila did you tell anyone we were coming here? I bet you told Dinah, didn't you?" Lauren says walking back to the waiting room, where the cameras can't see us. "Oh my God Lauren I didn't tell anyone, do you seriously think I would do something like that?" I ask her staring into her eyes and hold her trembling hands. "Then how the hell did they know we were here?" She says and my phone starts buzzing. "Damn are you seriously looking at your phone right now? Who's so important?" She asks grabbing my phone from my hands. "Oh Dinah's calling you? How convenient. I'm going to talk to her." Lauren adds with so much anger in her voice. I can't believe she really thinks I would tell anyone about this. "Lauren I swear to God I didn't tell her, come on! You know I wouldn't do that." I say and she throws my phone to the ground. "Fuck I don't know anything Camila, just that there are a shit ton of paparazzi waiting for us out of this stupid maternity clinic, how do you explain the media something like this?" She says running her hand nervously through her hair. "I don't know." I answer softly because her reaction truly left me speechless. "Why is this happening to me? Why can't I just be happy?" She says burying her head on her hands and starts crying. I immediately pull her in for a hug and squeeze her tight. "Everything's going to be okay Lo, I swear. I'm right here." I whisper rubbing her back. When her breathing goes back to normal I grab her hand assuringly. "Come on, follow me." I say walking towards the principal door of the hospital. As soon as we step out they jump on top of us asking us questions non stop. "Girls, is everything alright? Why are you at the hospital?" I ignore them and keep walking, but Lauren lets go of my hand and suddenly stops. "Hey Lauren is it a boy or a girl?" A paparazzi asks her pointing the camera at her face. "Hey douche bag Lauren came here with me, I'm the one you should be asking questions and no, I'm not fucking pregnant." I scream without really thinking about the consequences of what I just blurted out. I just couldn't let this stupid assholes get to her, she has already been through too much. I tightly grab her hand and we make our way to our van. "Please takes us home right now." I say closing the door behind us. "Camila you didn't have to do that." Lauren says as soon as we start making our way back home. "I know, but I wanted you." I answer softly. "You know they'll publish that tomorrow and your family and all of your friends and our fans will know you were taking a pregnancy test." She says staring deeply into my eyes. "They'll get over it, but I don't want you to go through more stuff." I answer resting my head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have snapped at you and I owe you a new phone." She says and I giggle softly. "I love you Lauren." I add kissing her cold cheek. "I love you too, thanks for everything today." She answers almost whispering and sighs deeply. We sit in silence for a while and I try to wrap my head around everything that has happened today. I guess my fake confession could really screw me up, but I don't care! That's what felt right at the moment, I wanted to protect her, and I guess this just proves how crazily in love I am with her. I have always loved her and she's the reason I'm so happy with my life, I needed to do something to spare her some horrible times. She has always been judged so much by the fans, either because she went to a concert or posted a picture on Instagram, people always find a way to hate on her. And that's so unfair and annoying, she doesn't deserve any of this, and having pregnancy gossips around her would make everyone flip. I don't know if she could be able to handle that amount of shit. "I was so scared." She suddenly mumbles softly. i put my arm around her waist and pull her closer to me. "But everything's okay Lo, we're okay." I tell her and plant a quick kiss on her lips. Except everything wouldn't be okay, everything would be far from okay.

Lauren's POV:

Camila is an angel. She really didn't have to lie to save my ass and put hers on the line. This is going to be really hard on her, but I'm going to be there for her every step of the way and we will get through this together. That's the least I can do after everything she did for me today. I still have no clue how the paparazzi knew where we were. I didn't tell anyone other than Camila, and she didn't tell anyone either. The only other person who knew where we were going was our driver, but why would he do something like that? It doesn't make sense. Unless Nomani or Cole or Austin told him to call the paparazzi, but that's just my imagination going wild, someone probably saw us walking into the hospital. After a long drive we get back to our apartment, and after lunch we have dance rehearsal for our upcoming tour in a couple of days. My mind is going crazy and I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the pressure. When we walk back home, the girls jump on top of us. "Oh my God, Camila what happened? You're all over twitter!" Dinah says loudly. "I'm fine, everything's okay." Camila answers sitting on the living room couch. "I just don't get it! Why didn't you tell us you thought you were pregnant?" Ally asks and Normani looks at me with a smirk. "I don't know, I just wanted to be sure first." She says and I sit next to her. "But you're not...?" Dinah starts saying before Camila interrupts. "No, false alarm." She answers softly. "I didn't know your relationship with Austin was... Like that." Normani adds lifting her eyebrows. "You know shit Normani, stay out of this." I snap at her and scoot closer to Camila. "Oh poor little Lauren, no one dare to say anything about her pink princess." Normani says ironically and chuckles loudly. "Its okay." Camila whispers in my ear and rubs my knee. "Girls please stop fighting, the good thing is everyone's okay and we need to focus on our tour again." Ally interferes calming us all down. She's right, but I can't take anymore of Normani's bullshit! We need to tell Simon or someone else about her evil plan before she really hurts us, but she already has some much information about us she could really bring us down, and that scares me so incredibly much. After a while of uncomfortably filled with anger silence Ingrid walks into the room. "God finally, lets go to dance rehearsal before I kill myself." Normani says standing up. She's so annoying! "Actually Normani sit down, today's rehearsal was cancelled. Camila you need to come with me, Simon wants to see you, we leave in five minutes." Ingrid says softly and walks away. "Why does he always want to talk to you?" Normani says groaning. "I have no idea." She answers staring at the ground. "What did he say the last time you guys met?" Ally says and Camila starts looking around nervously. "I didn't want to say anything because I would never in a million years accept the offer he made, but he said producers want me to go solo." Camila says and my jaw drops to the floor. "What? And you didn't tell me?" I ask staring into her beautiful brown eyes. "I decided not to tell anyone because it was the most idiotic thing in the world." She answers brushing my leg with her thumb. "You should've told me anyway, are you serious?" I say holding my head, I can't believe she hid something like this from me. "Why would she tell you and not us? Its not like you're back together, are you?" Normani says smirking again and I really want to punch her in the face right now. "Camila lets go." Ingrid says walking towards the front door. "I'll explain everything when I come back, I swear." She says hurriedly and runs after Ingrid. I still can not believe she didn't tell me, I thought we trusted each other. I lock myself in my room and put my earphones on, I need to escape from everything that's going on right now, its just too much to handle. Without even realizing I fall asleep, I guess stressful situations can be really tiring. Suddenly I feel someone shaking my shoulders softly. I open my eyes and realize its already dark outside, and then notice Camila standing next to my bed. "Hey Camz, how did it go?" I ask her yawning and see a soft smile on her face. Her eyes seem red and teary. "Hey are you okay?" I ask again and she sits down on my bed. "Camila what happened? Did he pressure you about your solo career?" I say holding her hands, but she shakes her head and tears start running down her cheek. "Camzi talk to me, what happened?" I tell her wrapping my arms around her body. "He said... God, this is really bad Lo." She starts stuttering between sobs. "I'm here, just tell me." I keep on trying to get her to say something, it breaks my heart to see her like this. "I... He said... I have to leave the band Lauren." She ends up saying after a long breath, but that sentence leaves me breathless.
