*Camila's POV*

We were getting ready for the show tonight, I saw Lauren checking her phone and the moment she read what's written a smile crept across her face.

She's probably texting Ryder, her boyfriend, but I wouldn't blame her. He's probably the most perfect man you'll ever meet. His looks combined with his personality makes perfection.

We're gonna meet him again at our next stop or maybe he's showing up tonight, I don't know.

"Mila, are you ready?" I heard Dinah speak.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm ready"

We walked on stage and just as usual, did our songs and choreography. Singing to the audience is the only way to fill up my mind with things other than Lauren.

Lauren looked amazing just like any other time, I can't complain though 'cause I get the opportunity to see her at all times of the day. Especially when she just woke up, her eyes are usually a lot brighter and she looks so cuddly and cute.

We walked off the stage, only to be met by Ryder smiling brightly at us.

"Ryder!" Lauren ran up to him and hugged him wrapping her arms securing around his torso.

"You did amazing out there" he said kissing her on top of her head.

"Don't we get compliments too?" Dinah decided to butt in.

"Of course you do, you all did great"

"I knew I liked you,"

Me and the girls ran and tackled him with a group hug, almost knocking him down.

We all soon started laughing and broke the hug.

"How have ya'll been doing?"

"Didn't eat any chicken wings for a long time," Mani called out

"Mani you had chicken wings last night"

"That's like 24 hours difference, that's a lot of time"

Dinah, Mani and Ally continued holding that conversation with Ryder about the chicken wings and food or whatever other thing they talked about.

I took a shower and changed into my casual clothes.

"What about you Mila? How have you been doing" Ryder asked me

I shrugged, "could've been better" I replied sitting on the couch and taking my phone out.

He looked at me with concerned eyes, but nodded his head. He waited till everyone was busy doing something, then sat next to me.

"Everything alright?" He questioned with concern.

"Why're you asking?"

"Well, from the response earlier I assumed something was up"

I shrugged, "Wanna talk about it? C'mon you can tell me, I won't judge and I'll keep it a secret if you want"

"A lot has been on my plate I guess", I thought for a moment, should I tell him that I have my eyes on someone but they're off limits? I won't mention its Lauren and I won't say it's a girl.

'Just do it' my conscious said. 'Here goes nothing.'

"I'm also crushing on someone, if you call it that"

"Aww, why don't you tell that person then" this is the thing I liked about Ryder, he didn't just assume right away it's a boy, he just mentioned Lauren as a person.

"Because that person is off limits"

"How so? Do you consider that person off limits because they're the same sex? Or do you consider that person off limits because they're in a relationship?"

I bit my lip, thinking, he pretty much guessed it, but he still doesn't know it's Laur. I'm still safe right?

"More of the second option, plus I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship"

"Oh these are the hard types of crush, crushing on your friend is not easy." We sat in silence for a while.

"Well I think you should just try to be there for that person as much as they need you. Telling that person your feelings might not be a good idea right now. But who knows, maybe something will happen in the near future bringing you two together" he smiled softly at me.

I returned the smile, as much as I wanted to hate him I can't, 'cause he's there for me.

"Oh by the way, if that person is from the same sex as you, don't let that stop you" I looked up at him surprised a bit, "What? Why are you surprised? The same sex can be equally as hot in some people's opinions"

"Rid?" Lauren called out, I stood up from the couch and smiled at me again, then walked over to Lauren, still smiling.

"Yeah Laur?"

"Let's go to the bus it's only us left and Camz" she yawned. I got up from the couch and took my things while i watched them interact.

"Sleepy?"

"Yeah, I haven't slept well yesterday"

He smiled sadly, "you guys being on tour isn't letting you sleep much is it?"

She yawned again "not really"

He smiled cheekily and carried her bridal way, chuckling to himself as she freaked out.

"Ryder!" She squealed as he walked out of the building.

I followed them into the tour bus, "Stop disturbing people's sleep, and be quite"

I chuckled at them when I saw Lauren hitting his chest. Suddenly his smile dropped "ouch! Oh and where's Mila? Did we forget her?"

"I'm right here" I said shoving him aside and entering the bus, "couldn't you be a little nicer" he huffed playfully.

"Nope"

I brushed my teeth and went straight to bed after that.

Will I ever be able to tell Lauren my feelings? It doesn't seem like a good idea to be honest, it'll probably ruin everything and make her hate "camren" more because a part of the assumptions are true.

Unfortunately the assumption of us being is a relationship isn't true nor that I have sex with Lauren every night.

I kept on thinking about the situation till my eyes couldn't stay open anymore, and just like that I slept.
