ALLY'S POV
I wake up with a smile on my face.
We are still in San Francisco, seeing as we sometimes do double shows in one city. San Francisco was one of them.
I get off of my bed to see Lau's bed empty.
I walk into Mani, DJ, and Mila's room. My whole world lights up when I see Lau sitting next to Mani.
She spots me, smiles and pats her lap.
I walk over to her and sit in her lap.
I turn my head to kiss her. She kisses back.
"Oh my gawd, no! My Alren heart! No! Help me! Losing air!" I hear Mani, fake choking. I giggle into the kiss. We pull away at the same time.
"Hi, babe." Lau smiles at me. I can't help but smile back.
"Hello, baby." I kiss her cheek. She chuckles.
"Let's head down to the venue early, just so we can hang out." DJ suggests. We nod.
"What time is it?" I ask no one in particular.
"Um, 12:30. You woke up really late, Allycat." I look at Mani, my mouth dropped. I hardly sleep in, though I'm not a morning person.
"Let's go get ready and head down, then." Mila smiles. We all nod.
Lau and I walk off into our room. I run into the closet before she can. I smile.
I slam the door, accidentally, in her face. I giggle.
"Allyson Brooke Hernandez!" she yells and pounds a fist on the door. I laugh and jump back, scared by her fist.
"I love you!" I shout through the door.
"Yeah, yeah. Love you too." she mutters. I smile and roll my eyes.
I pick out leggings and a long sleeve fleece red sweater.
I change and slip on slippers.
I walk out to see Lau on her bed, on her phone.
I walk to her and sit next to her.
"Your turn." I whisper. She nods and gets up.
I turn and jump onto her bed.
I snuggle into her covers with her stuffed frog, Lennon.

*WARNING: INTENSE LANGUAGE AHEAD. PLEASE DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO.*
I lay down on the couch we have in our dressing room.
The other girls are still on stage, rehearsing.
I lay my head on a pillow and grab my phone from the coffee table.
I decide to go on twitter.
I scroll through my timeline, watching the tweets go by.
But one tweet catches my eye.
#LaurenDoesntDeserveAlly this is true. Lauren deserves someone way better than little Ally. She's too awkward and unnatural for Lauren.
I furrow my eyebrows and tap the hashtag.
1.89M tweets about this hashtag.
I stare at the number, stunned.
I scroll through the tweets. Hate comment after hate comment. Occasionally getting an '#allydefensesquad ' tweet.
What did I do to the harmonizers?
So Ally is the little shit that stole Lauren from us. I'm so terrified that she'll break Lauren's heart. Again. #LaurenDoesntDeserveAlly
ALLY YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE YOU. GET AWAY FROM LAUREN. SHE DOESNT DESERVE YOU. YOU SUCK AT SINGING AND YOURE WORSE AT DANCING. YOU SUCK. GO DIE IN A HOLE. #LaurenDoesntDeserveAlly.
YOU FUCKTARD GET AWAY FROM OUR LAUREN. SHES SO PRECIOUS. I DONT LIKE THAT YOURE DATING LAUREN. SHE DOESNT DESERVE YOU. GET AWAY FROM HER. #LaurenDoesntDeserveAlly.
My eyes become glassy, making it hard to see the screen in front of me.
I rub my eyes, trying to get the water to go away.
I can't let this get to me. It's just a couple tweets, right?
No, Ally. It's a million tweets and counting.
I sniffle.
Does Lauren know about this?
If she does, wouldn't she have told me?
Would she keep this from me?
Does she really love me?
A million questions roam around in my head.
I sit up and walk to the candy bar. Popping a few skittles in my mouth.
I shake the thoughts and tweets away, thinking they mean nothing.
I hear the door open. I wipe my eyes one last time and turn around.
Mani stands there with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Mani." I sit down on the arm of the chair.
"Hey, Al. Have you seen Will anywhere?" she asks. I smile.
I hear the door open and look over her shoulder.
"As a matter of fact, I have." I raise my eyebrows, tilting my head towards him. She spins around.
"O-oh. H-hey Will." she stutters. Obviously, my best friend has a crush. I smile at the two, thinking they'd be cute together.
"Hi, Normani." he says.
"I heard you wanted to talk?" says Normani. I catch Will's eye and nod, getting the message he's sending. He and I have always been like siblings, nothing more. I can't imagine myself with him. And I think we're happy with where we stand.
I walk past the couple. I look back placing my hand on the door. Will's back faces me.
Normani and I lock eyes and I wink at her, causing her to blush. I laugh silently and walk out.
I walk down the hall, towards the stage.
I walk up a set of stairs and end up backstage.
I put on my ear set and walk on stage, hearing the others.
I sit down on the steps.
Mila is the first to spot me.
"Oh! Hey Allycat! I didn't know you came!" she exclaims smiling. I laugh.
"Hi, Mo-Mo." I look at Lauren. She stares at me, smiling. I smile back at her. Her smile grows bigger.
"What's up, Als." DJ says. I turn my attention to her.
"Hello, Dinah." I say. She smiles and waves. I wave back.
"I'm like hey, what's up, hello." Lau sings, causing us to laugh.
"Where's Mani?" Mila asks, turning her attention to me.
"She's with Will." I wiggle my eyebrows, causing everyone to erupt into laughter.
"Does she like him?" Lau questions.
"Yup. And I'm pretty sure he likes her too." I say.
Will and Mani come onto stage.
"Let's go, time for the meet and greet." Will says.
We follow him off stage.

I lay awake, in my bed.
Lau looked peaceful, I didn't want to disturb her.
I look at the alarm clock that rests on the nightstand.
1:13 am
I inwardly groan and turn onto my back, staring up at the ceiling.
My mind slowly wonders to the hashtag from earlier.
Lauren doesn't deserve you.
So Ally is the little shit that stole Lauren from us.
Ally you little asshole you.
The tweets swim around in my head.
I begin to tear up, thinking they're probably right.
I don't want them to be right, but I'm pretty sure they are.
I sigh inwardly and close my eyes drifting off into sleep, trying not to think about the hashtag.

WHOA! LOOK WHO'S ALIVE!
