"What do you think Simon is going to talk about?"

"I don't know. Probably just some rules about the live shows." Normani shrugged whilst scrolling through her tumblr feed.

"Good morning girls." Soon greeted once he entered the meeting room.

"Good morning Simon." The girls replied in unison.

"Okay so the agenda of the meeting today, I need you girls to understand the rules of this competition and how all this will change your lifestyle. Got it?" Simon asked and the girls nodded.

"Okay so here are the rules, take your time to read through it. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask." He smiled and handed the girls their files.

Camila took the file in her hand and started reading through the paragraphs, slowly allowing the words to sink in. What she's reading isn't what she had expected. She looked over at Lauren who was reading intensely, a frown forming on her face. Turning to the other side, she saw Normani looking worriedly at Ally who was practically pulling her hair out.

"May I ask why isn't dating group members allowed?" Lauren questioned, voice hoarse and scared.

"This are the rules, I can't have dykes in a girl group. It would ruin my reputation and what would people think if I allowed that? Plus, I don't want any of you to be thinking of anything else other than winning this completion." Simon explained, unconcerned that what he just said might affect the girls.

Camila's heart stung at those words, how can Simon say something so hard heartlessly, does he have no empathy at all?

"But I - "

"No buts Camila. Whatever is going on between you two." He said glaring at Camila and Lauren, "And also the both of you." Simon added pointing at Normani and Ally, "Has to end. Right now. I don't care what you think. I have to leave now." With that, he stood up and walked away.

"I can't believe that just happened. What the hell did we get ourselves into?" Camila groaned, dropping her head onto her arms.

"Is there something the both of you didn't tell us?" Dinah asked, "Are you guys dating?"

"Sorry girls, we didn't tell you because we're afraid of how you would react. Well, Simon saw through us, so I guess we're out?" Lauren replied, "But our parents don't know yet so please don't say anything about this to them."

"I just knew it!" Ally exclaimed, "I win!"

"Because I let you." Normani said.

"No you did not." Ally rebutted sticking her tongue out.

"Yes I did and stop sticking your tongue out unless you want mine down your throat." Normani joked.

"Eww Mani. Stop being so disgusting." Camila whined scrunching up her nose in disgust.

"Yeah, please keep it PG 13, we have a little kid here." Lauren giggled pulling Camila close into her embrace.

"I'm not a kid!"

"Whatever." Lauren chuckled, "I promise that we will get through this okay? I love you."

"I love you too LoLo." Camila sighed, pecking Lauren's lips gently.

Live Shows Semi Finals

Lauren's POV

I can't believe we made it through the semifinals. The girls and I are at the mansion provided for us while we're still in the competition. Camila and I had been keeping out relationship for a while now and thank god Simon hadn't found out yet.

Normani and Ally on the other hand was caught making out in the dressing room and ever since then, they weren't allowed to interact publicly or on twitter. They were forced to break up but on a brighter note, they're still talking. I could see that they still love each other though, the way that they would look at each other and not to mention, they secretly go to each other's rooms at night.

Camila and I now share a room and that makes it easier for us, it's like we have our little own secret place where we can be just us - no need to worry about anyone else catching us running into each other's room.

"Help me tie French braids Lo." Camila asked and I immediately agreed to her request.

"There you go." I said as I finished off the braid, "You look beautiful."

Camila stood up and flushed her body against mine, "You're more beautiful. More than anyone else in the world." She said and leant in.

Our lips connected, slowly moving in sync with one another, until we hear the door open.

"What are you doing?"

A/N: I see that many of you don't want Camren to break up, but I promise that of they do they'll eventually get back together alright? Ily'all (:
