Behind The Mask (Normani/you)

Your POV

When I woke up I realized I was alone in my bunk. I rubbed my eyes as I yawned. I slowly got out of my bunk and started towards the kitchen area when I heard laughter coming from the back. I changed my direction and went towards it. I opened the door and I saw the girls laughing including Blair. I looked at them confused. Blair was the first to notice me. "Oh hey, Y/n," she greeted. "Wanna join us?"

"What is it? An orgy?"

Blair glared at me. "No idiot. We're just hanging out."

"Since when do you hang out with them?"

"Since they stopped being bitches. So hang out with us."

"I'm good." I turned to leave when I heard Normani say:

"Please stay." I stopped in my tracks. "Please." I stood there with my back turned to them. Did I dare stay where I would only be torturing myself by being around Normani? Or should I go and play it safe until I can get over Ellie's death? "Please." I could hear the begging in her voice.

I sighed. "Fine." I could practically hear her smiling. I turned around with my face down and sat next to Blair. They continued to talk while I just sat there. I felt eyes on me so I looked up and I met none other than Normani's eyes. She smiled at me. I stared into her chocolate brown eyes which for some reason seemed dull. That's when I got pulled into a memory I'd rather not recall.

"Y/n/n," Ellie squeezed my hand, "I love you."

I shook my head as tears filled my eyes. "Stop. You're talking like you're gonna die."

Ellie gave me a weak smiled. "That's because I am."

"No. You're not. I won't let you."

"You can't stop it, Y/n/n."

"I'll find a way, just please, stay with me." I let out a small sob.

"I wish I could," she squeezed my hand once more. "But I can't. It's just my time. Here." She pulled out a letter. "I wrote this for you." I grabbed it. "I love you Y/n."

"I love you too. So damn much."

"I love you more."

"No. I love you more."

"I love you more than-"

That's when she stopped breathing. "No!" I cried out. "No no no no! Nooooooooooooo!"

Tears filled my eyes and I let out a small sob as I brought my hands to my mouth. "Y/n," Blair put her hand on my shoulder, "You okay?" I cried harder as I pushed her off and ran to the front of the bus.

"Stop the bus!" I yelled. The bus came to a screeching halt and I ran off. I brought my hand to my pocket. I've always carried it with me. No matter where I went. I had to read it again. I had to.

Normani's POV

"What just happened?" I asked once Y/n ran off.

"I have no idea," Blair answered honestly. "But I have to find her." She stood up.

"Let us come with you," Ally spoke up standing herself. We all stood up after her.

"We'll cover more ground with all of us looking," Dinah explained.

Blair thought about it. "Very well. But we have to start searching now before she gets too far away." We all nodded and ran off the bus. No we had to find her.

I know it's a bit short but I Hope you enjoyed. Tell me what you thought.
