Behind The Mask (Normani/you)

Your POV

I woke up to Roger shaking me. "Y/n wake the fuck up!" I groaned. "You have a concert is ten minutes!"

My head snapped up eyes wide. "Say what?!"

"Yeah, so let's go!"

I threw Blair's arm off me and jumped out of the bunk. I ran to the bathroom, brushed my hair, brushed my teeth, and did my make up. I ran to the arena and saw the girls backstage. I glared at them as they chuckled at me except for Ally and Normani. "Seriously?" I asked. "You're that childish as to not wake me?" They shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

"Y/n! You're on in three!"

I walked towards the stage and jumped up and down getting ready. That's when I was tackled in a hug. I didn't even need to look to know it was Blair. "Good luck love," she whispered in my ear.

"Thanks," I smiled and then ran on stage causing the crowd to go wild. "Hey everybody!" I shouted. "How's life?" There were choruses of goods. "Good good. So, what song should I sing?" I heard some songs being shout out.

"Castle on the hill!"

"Shape of you!"

"The A team!"

"Perfect!"

"Galway girl!"

"Wow, that's a lot of choices. Let's go down the list, yeah?" The crowd screamed. I went down the list starting with Castle On The Hill and ending with Galway Girl. "So what'd you guys think?" They screamed so loud I had to cover my ears. "Wow, okay because you guys are so fucking amazing I'm going to sing a new song for you guys." The crowd went wild. "This song is called Save Myself. Hope you enjoy." I started to play the guitar. Once the song ended they screamed like no tomorrow. "Okay that's all folks! I'll see you . . . Next time." I did a little bow and ran off the stage.

Blair hugged me. "Great show."

"Thanks." I felt a tap on my shoulder and went to turn around when Blair stopped me. She shook her head. I looked at her confused until it clicked. 'Normani' I mouthed. She nodded. I bit my lip and didn't turn around.

"I know you don't wanna look at me," Normani started, "but I just wanted to tell you you did great."

"Thanks," I whispered. I heard her walk away. I let out a sigh of relief.

"You good?" Blair asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm good." I heard the crowd cheering so I turned around and saw the girls on stage. I looked at Normani and my heart raced as it dropped at the same time. I looked away. "Can we go back to the bus?"

Blair nodded. "Of course." We headed back to the bus and relaxed. "Whatchu wanna do?" I shrugged. "Do you Maybe," she hesitated, "Wanna talk about her?" I shook my head. "Are you sure? It might help."

I shook my head again. "There's no point. It's not gonna bring her back."

"I know, but it could help you," Blair pushed. "You've only talked about her once since it happened. And that was when you told me. You need to get it off your chest."

"Why?" I stood up and faced her. "So I can cry about it more? So I can't forget? So I remember how I couldn't help her? What's the point of remembering that?" I turned around as tears filled my eyes.

"Hey it's okay," Blair hugged me. "We don't have to talk about it until you're ready." I nodded as I hugged her back. We heard the door to the bus open and I quickly wiped away my tears. They looked at us as I turned my back on them so they wouldn't see my puffy eyes. I didn't want them to know I was crying. Thankfully I heard them walk away. They still had no idea. Or so I thought.

Normani's POV

I got to the bus first and as I waited outside I may have overheard Blair's and Y/n's conversation. Now I wasn't ease dropping. It was on accident. But what can I say? I'm a curious person.

"Do you Maybe," I heard Blair hesitate, "Wanna talk about her?" There was a pause. "Are you sure? It might help."

"There's no point," I heard Y/n say. "It's not gonna bring her back."

What does she mean bring her back? Who's her?

"I know, but it could help you," Blair pushed. "You've only talked about her once since it happened. And that was when you told me. You need to get it off your chest."

"Why? So I can cry about it more? So I can't forget? So I remember how I couldn't help her? What's the point of remembering that?"

What was she talking about? Who's her? Who couldn't she help? My mind was going in all different types of directions when the girls finally showed up. They went to go in but I stopped them. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not?" Ally asked confused.

"Y/n's having a rough time."

Lauren scoffed. "Yeah, like I care." She pushed pass me and they all went inside. I followed and I saw Y/n turned around not facing any of us. She was probably crying and didn't want us to know. I mouthed 'sorry' to Blair who gave me a small smile. Then we went to the back room. Now I just had to find out who Y/n was talking about. Easy said than done.

Oooooo so what do you think happened in your past? I dropped a couple hints this time. Tell me what you thought. Hope you enjoyed.
