Harmony[Lauren/You]

Chapter 12

Troy wiped the tears off his eyes and sniffed, coughing loudly pretending that he just felt sick. Sergio pats his brothers back with tight lips, jotting his head at him signaling that it's going to be okay. They both turned back around and watched the scene infront of them. Ally was so happy, they have never seen her like that before. She do really love him that much, and the thought of it shattered Troy more that the first.

Camila smiled at what she's watching. Her smile slowly faded as she remembered something. She turns to Lauren. "Lo, I forgot to tell you tha-"

"Where's my favorite girl."

Lauren's head shot towards the entrace, a huge smile erupted on her lips seeing her boyfriend entering the room. "Brad!" She bolted towards the boy, jumping into his arms wrapping her feet around his waist. Lauren snuggled her head for his warmth, tightening her arms afraid that her boyfriend might disappear.

Brad reciprocates, planting a quick kiss on Lauren's temples. "I missed you too babe."

The twins watched with jaw's dropped, for Troy there were too much event to take in. First was another Troy coming in to the picture, second is Brad, the person he despised the most even though it's the first time he have seen him.

"Camila!" He whisper-yelled to the brunette.

Camila approached Troy and Sergio. "Yes?"

"What's this?" Troy signaled his hand towards the couple, mainly at Brad. "Why's that piece of s**t here?"

Camila placed her hand on Troy's shoulder. "Calm down, I know-"

"Of course you knew!" Troy hissed, glancing briefly at Brad. "We don't exactly know what Y/N's reaction when she see's him but we know it's going to be negative."

"Calm down, Troy." Sergio chimed in. His brother looked at him. "How the heck am I suppose to calm down in this situation."

Camila sighed loudly, massaging her temples. "Look, I personally wanted to tell Y/N about this, but she's been locking herself in her room so I didn't have the chance to tell her."

Troy run his hand through his hair frustratingly, huffing out a breath. "This is going to come out bad."

"Is there any problem here?" The three turns towards the voice and see Brad looking at them, with his arm wrapped around Lauren's waist.

Troy forced a smile and nod his head. "Nothing that concerns you."

Camila grabbed Troy from the elbows. "What are you doing?" She whispered but Troy ignored her.

Brad shook his head. "Actually, I don't really care about what you guys are talking about but it's getting everyone's attention so I suppose you can keep your voices down so nobody would be disturbed."

Troy chuckled. "Well yeah but, this is the living room, everybody can do much noises they want in here." He turns his head towards Ally and her boyfriend shortly then back to Brad. "If you couples don't want to be disturbed I suggest you find your own room."

Troy gave him a taunting smirk that struck a nerve on Brad. The curly brunette furiously grabbed Troy by the collar, swinging him back and fort.

"Listen here you small piece of s**t!" Brad hissed.

Troy laughed at what Brad said. "Small piece of s**t?" He scanned Brad from head to toe. "Are you talking about yourself? 'Cuz you're the only one who's small here."

Brad pulled his rolled fist back to punch Troy but was pulled back by Troy, Ally's boyfriend, and Ally herself. "Sto-"

The room fell into silence when they hear the door knob twist. At the edge of Troy's eyes, he see's a figure appeared after the door swung open. Everyone's attention switched towards you, ambling inside the room while looking at Brad, his back facing you.

Troy noticed how your face slowly changes when you get closer to them. He opened his mouth but Brad turned around revealing himself to you. You stood in front of him with wide eyes.

Brad jot hus chin up to you. "Hey sis." He smirked. "Never expect I'd see you here."

"Y/N!"

"Brad!"

Brad fell backwards when you swing your rolled fist and land straight to his mouth, surprising everyone by your action, Troy almost burst out of laughter but helt it in for the sake of the current situation.

The twins pushed you back with them when you took another step forward for another punch, you admit to yourself, you looked stupid at the moment as you try to break free from the twins .

"You had one job, Brad!" You hissed at your brother, trying to swing your feet towards him. "But you had to open that cocky mouth!"

Brad stood up from the ground, with Lauren helping him up from the side. He wiped his bloody mouth. "For a girl like you, you sure do pack a punch."

"Why are you even here you little moron, don't you have presents to wrap this Christmas?" You glared at him, still trying to push your way out of the twins grasp.

"Whatever" Brad wrapped his arm around Lauren's waist. "Come on babe, we still have a lot to catch up." He rolled his eyes at you, pulling Lauren with him to the exit.

You clenched your jaw averting your gaze away from the two, not being able to see Lauren hesitating in Brad's arms, glancing black at you every now and then. The scene seconds ago helped Troy forget the heartache he felt, he glanced at you.

"Hey uhh, Y/N," You look towards him. "Is there by any chance that you're taller than your brother when you were a kid?"

You looked at him confused, shaking your head for a no. "If I could remember, I think he was taller than me back then."

"Really?" Sergio said dumbfounded. "Damn, Y/N. You're even taller than your brother."

"Yeah," Troy crossed him arms on his chest, grinning." Midget."

-

You sat quietly on the sofa, eyes looking straight with a frown on your face. Scooting away every now and then when feeling the skin of a certain person touching yours. The twins looked at each other, with an amused expression on their faces, finding it amusing when their friend suffers from the silent treatment you're giving.

"Y/NNNN," Camila whined, trying to wrap her hands around your arm while you try to move away. "I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you but you've locked yourself in your room."

"Oh, so you're saying that it's my fault?"

"I didn't say that." Camila raised her hands. "I'm just defending myself."

You rolled your eyes. Sergio huffed out a laugh. Camila pouted, pressing her palms together. "I'm sorry, Y/NNNN" Camila adorably begged.

"Shit." You quietly mumbled before swiftly turning to Camila and pulled her into a tight hug. "How would I be able to stand that adorable face?" You said pulling away, pinching her cheeks.

"Stawp, Y/-NN." Camila said, finding it hard to speak when you keep pulling her cheeks.

Sergio and Troy laughed at the both of you, turning to the door when they heard it opened. "Your so f*****g cute, you little monkey." You said in a cute voice then kissing Camila on the tip of her nose, making her scrunch it up, she giggled.

"Aww," You retreated your hand back, turning towards the voice. You see Normani and Dinah entring the room looking at you and Camila as if they're looking at a cute dog.

"Are you two sure you don't like each other?" Dinah asked with raises brow. "You two would really make a cute couple."

Sergio tensed up in his seat after hearing what Dinah said. Normani nod her head. "I'm Y/Camila/Ship all the way." She cheered.

Troy chuckled. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"And why's that?" Dinah asked.

"Because Camila likes Gio." Troy fearlessly blurted out.

Camila shot her head at Troy, her face red in embarrassment. "What the f**k Troy?!"

Troy faked gasped. "Oops, It slipped."

You burst in laughter and watched Camila chase Troy -who bolted from his seat- around the room . The little brunette tackled Troy to the ground and wrapped her hands around his neck, trying to strangle him to death. Troy only laughed at her ad he tries to push her hands away.

"You promised that you won't tell!" Camila whined, swinging Troy's body back and forth.

"I'm sorry." Troy laughed. "I was getting impatient, You won't confess and my brother's too shy to make a move."

Sergio has his face red through the whole time, covering his face with his rolled fist. "You should've let me handle it." He muttered shyly.

Troy lift his head up from the floor and rolled his eyes. "It'll take you years before you ask Camila out."

"Damn, Serg." Dinah shook her head in disappointment. "You won't be able to get your girl if your too slow like that."

You lean your chin on your palm, crossings your legs. "Ask her now, Sergio." You told him.

Sergio coughed, turning to Camila. "Camila I uh.." He paused. "Can I take you out for a dinner?"

Camila's cheeks burned, nodding her head shyly at Sergio. Troy's head fell to the ground. "Finally!" He exclaimed dramatically, acting so relieved. "Sergio and Camila down, Y/N and Lauren to go." He mumbled quietly, sighing.

-

Your fingers slowly touched the surface of the piano keys, you applied pressure, hearing the high pitch sound emmiting from the instrument. You then placed your other hand on the keys, moving them on to the preferred position to play a chord.

You paused and turn your torso around, hearing the door to the music room open. Camila didn't even care and slammed the door shut, hurrying down the room, the pit pattering of her heels echoing in the quiet room.

"Sorry I'm late." She smiled sheepishly, taking a seat on the empty space beside you . "Girl problems." You looked at her confused. "Oh, uhm, we have a bit of a Ally problem."

You just nod your head, even though you didn't quite understand what she meant. "Ready?"

"Ready when you are."

[You]:

It's all my fault, you can do better,

(that's what you always say to me)

You ain't good enough, get it together,

(that's what you always say to me, oh yeah)

[You & (Camila)]:

In the middle of yes or no, half way between stay or go

(It's a struggle daily trying to love you girl)

So do we live and learn, or do we crash and burn

I don't know if this is what I want

[You]:

Do we make this goodbye, is it even worth fightin'

Walk away from love 'cause we're so tired of tryin'

And all that we built is fallin' down now

Do we work it out now

My heart is lost

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here

[Camila]:

Can't get my space, you clean your...

(that's what you always say to me)

You suffocate, I'm barely breathin'

(that's what you always say to me)

Your lips stretched into a smile. Camila's voice was pleasing to the ears, no wonder she had a very supporting fans, not only because of her pretty face, but because her amazing voice as well.

[Camila & (You)]:

In the middle of yes or no, half way between stay or go

(It's a struggle daily trying to love you girl)

So do we live and learn, or do we crash and burn

I don't know if this is what I want

[Camila]:

Do we make this goodbye, is it even worth fightin'

Walk away from love 'cause we're so tired of tryin'

And all that we built is fallin' down now

Do we work it out now

My heart is lost

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here

[You & (Camila)]:

I'm always the cause and

(I'm always the blame)

You make me out to be the bad guy

(Oh, you do the same)

But you're not always right

(But I'm not always wrong)

[Together]:

We should fix the problems or we should move on

Do we make this goodbye, is it even worth fightin'

Walk away from love 'cause we're so tired of tryin'

And all that we built is falling down now

Do we work it out now

My heart is lost

Do we make this goodbye, is it even worth fightin'

Walk away from love 'cause we're so tired of tryin'

And all that we built is fallin' down now

Do we work it out now

My heart is lost

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here

So where do we go, so where do we go, so where do we go from here.

You and Camila breathed out, finishing the song. Camila clapped her hands excitingly. "That was so freakin' good!" She exclaimed. "I'm so glad we wrote this song with you."

"The pleasure is all mine."

You tossed and turn in your bed, irritated by the muffled shouts your ears is picking up from outside your room. You lift your head up from the soft pillow, scratching your eyes with the back of your finger, you look at the time flashing on your bed side table, 6:52 am. You groaned, it's already bad enough that you've spent your whole life being woken up by an alarm clock, now you have to be woken up by those f*****g noise. You pulled your pillow underneath you and used it to cover your head, closing your eyes again and slowly drifting back to sleep.

You woke up again, this time the shouts got even louder. You looked at the time; 7:04 am You let out high straining groan, getting out of your bed and marching towards the door. You swing the door open and the shouts got even more louder and clearer.

"Shut the f**k up!" You yelled, watching the blurry scene through your half lidded eyes. "It's early in the morning, my gosh." You groaned. "If you people don't want to sleep, please, let me sleep." You told them, slamming the door shut.

You jumped back again in your bed, pulling the covers over your head as you close your eyes. You mumbled 'come in' hearing audible knocks on your door, you hear it open. Footsteps neared you and you feel the bed dipped beside you.

"Y/N.." You hear Lauren whispered, poking the duvet. You only groaned, causing her to call you again. "Y/N..."

"What.." You hummed sleeplessly, turning around, your back towards her.

"Can I -uh.." Lauren hesitates. "Can I sleep here?"

"Why?" You asked, snuggling your head in the pillow. "What happened to your room?"

"I..uh..locked myself out...and it'll take the owner to arrive and give the spare key to my room..."

Lies. You could sense lies even if you're asleep. You sighed, still tired to ask her what the truth was. You wanted to say no, because it'll be hard for the both of you to move around, since, the bed is only for one person.

"Okay..."

You can't see, but Lauren had a huge smile on her lips when you agreed. She stood up from her seat and rounded the bed, laying on the small empty space. You scooted back when Lauren squeezed her body in, going under the covers as well. The room fell silent, you almost drifted into sleep again, but Lauren's movement keeps you awake. You knew she's struggling and close to falling off the bed.

"Damnit." You muttered quietly.

You pulled Lauren closer, wrapping your arm around her waist while the other arm slid underneath her neck. Lauren's eyes widened, her cheeks slowly growing red. You pulled her closer to your body, her head leaning on your chest, under your chin. You could feel the warmth radiating off her, her smell filling your nostrils.

You admit, you're enjoying every little bit of it.

"There," You mumbled. "Is this okay?" You feel Lauren shyly nod her head as an answer. "Good, now sleep, we've got a long day ahead."

Your consciousness slowly drifted off to sleep, you didn't know if it was a dream, but you were sure, you felt a warm sensation on your cheeks.

A slim woman, in her mid 40's, wearing designers long coat that is covering her long, thin legs. Even though the woman bore three children, her beauty still haven't wither. Her long, curly brown hair flowed down just abover her bust, a thick sun glasses resting at the bridge of her pointed nose.

The woman tilt her head to the side, her wavy hair falling down from her shoulders to her back. She pushed her sun glasses up to her haid, tucking in those brown fringe that always covered her attractive, long lashed eyes.

She took her phone out, dialing in a number and placing it against her ear. "Hello? Mum?" She hear her son spoke in the other line.

"Honey." She begun. "I'm already at the train station, I arrived early as I expected."

"Really?!" Her son exclaimed, excited evident in his voice. She heard audible shuffles on the line before her son speak. "Will you be able to wait? I'll be there to get you as fast as I can."

"Don't worry, I won't mind the long wait." The woman said. "Besides, the view out here is quite breathtaking."

"Okay," Her son replied. "I'll call you when I arrive, bye"

"See you soon, Bye." She replied before hanging up.

She slid her phone back to her coat's pocket before looking back at the scenery infront of her. Spending most of her years in a city, being there where she stood right now, viewing tall and healthy trees than tall buildings was a very beautiful scene for her. Overly grown grass and wheat farms was better to see than large crowds and busy street.

The woman closed her eyes, sighing. "Now I know why she likes it more in a countryside."
