Camila's POV:

Lauren is hanging with her friends today, so I'm home alone.I think it's the perfect time to start making some other covers, I don't know which songs I want to do, though.

It's currently 12 pm, and i've been sitting at the kitchen island for at least an hour, trying to think of some songs that I like.

I've already done my makeup when I got out of bed, two hours after Laur left to go to her friends' house, so I'm all ready to start.

I look through my spotify list, and see some songs. I think i'm gonna do 'Royals' by Lorde, since it was requested a lot in the comments of the other cover. I'm gonna start with that one.

Thinking about the other cover, I haven't checked the views today, so I'm gonna start with that.

I open my laptop, going to the internet page and to Youtube, clicking on my channel and on the video, I'm shook. 13 MILLION VIEWS?! How?! In only one night? What?!

I can't believe it! There are so many positive comments, and so many likes!

I go off the internet page, and my email is still opened under it. I can't believe my eyes as I see what email I got.

An email from the Ellen show, asking if I would like to go there for an interview, I'm so shocked, but I'm still able to reply, that I would love to go and would like some more information.

I start filming the cover of Royals while I wait for the reply with more information, and as I'm editing the video, I get another email.

It says the plane ride and hotel room for 2 people is included, and that I can bring a guest. I will do an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, and sing a cover after it. We will stay in LA for 3 days, and the plane ride back to Miami is also included. We'll have to go the day after tomorrow though.

I'm gonna take Lauren of course, if she wants to come at least, I'm gonna text her if she wants to come.

[Camila, 1:03 pm]Hey babe, I just got an email from Ellen, asking if i would go on the show! There's an hotel room included and I can bring a guest, you wanna come? If you want, then we're going the day after tomorrow x

Not soon after I hit send, I get a reply.

[Lauren, 1:05 pm]BABY! That's great news! I'm so proud of you! Of course I want to come! I'll be home in like 2 hours and we can celebrate! Love youu x

Great, she wants to come! I'm super happy right now! I edited the cover, and upload it on Youtube, closing the laptop.

I lay on the bed, deciding to take a nap while waiting for Laur to come back home.

I didn't realize it's been 4 hours when I wake up, and that Lauren is cuddled against me, also sleeping.

I smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she moves, indicating that she's waking up.

"Hey baby" I smile, watching her fluttering her eyes open.

"Hey" She says, pecking my lips."You wanna go out for dinner? It's 6" I say, laying my head back on the pillow next to her.She nods her head and gets up, giving me her hand to help me up.

She's still dressed in her clothes from when she went out today, but I have to change, so as I go into my walk-in closet, she lays back in bed.

I quickly change into some jeans with a pair of dark blue Vans and a simple dark blue Ralph-Lauren shirt. I grab my Louis Vuitton purse and walk out, seeing Lauren laying on her back on the bed. She's not really paying attention, seeing she's probably playing that game on her phone again, so I grab my phone and make a quick snap of her. Captioning it with "my wifey" before posting it on my story, I love how I can do this now I'm out of school.

"Ya ready baby?" I ask, and she looks up at me cutely."Ya!" She squeals, jumping up from the bed and taking my hand, pushing her phone in her jeans pocket as we walk out of the condo. We get into her range rover driving to the italian restaurant we both love.

We eat and talk for a few hours, it's a little date night. And when we get home at 10, we have some more fun;)

—————(2 days later)

It's finally time to go to LA! I'm so so so excited! Lauren is sitting next to me in the jet, snap chatting it, since it's her first time in a private jet.

"God, this is amazing babe!" She sighs, as she places her phone down on the table and leans more into me, resting her cheek on my shoulder.

"It is, baby, it really is." I sigh.

After 6 long hours, we're finally in LA. We just have to go to the hotel, where we're gonna put our stuff in the room, and have to get ready to go to Ellen. Lauren's gonna go with me, and she's either gonna sit in my dressing room backstage, or on a seat at the side of the studio to watch me.

Getting out of the cab, we grab our bags and suitcases and walk into the big hotel, seeing a woman I recognize as the woman I've been e-mailing about this all.

I grab Lauren's hand and pull her towards the blonde woman, who's standing by the modern looking couches in the lobby.

"Hi! Camila!, So great to see you! My name's Karen, and I'm your 'assistant' while you're here!" She says excitedly.

"Hi! It's great to be here!" I say, looking around the lobby."Well, I'm going to let you guys go up to your room to freshen up and to drop your stuff, and I'll come and get you in 15 minutes so we can leave for Ellen. Here are the keys, you're in room 1432" Karen informs, and hands me a set of keys, before turning around and walking out of the lobby.

"Well, guess we're gonna do that" Lauren shrugs next to me, and we walk towards the elevator.

The room is huge, with a big king size bed in the middle of it, in front of a little vanity and a couch besides it. We roll our suitcases to the side of the room, by the couch, and drop our bags on the bed.

"We're really in LA babe, can you believe it?" Lauren asks, walking over to me and wrapping her arms around me, hugging me.

I don't feel like talking, so I just shake my head, wrapping my arms around my girlfriend.

"You ready to go to Ellen, babe?" She asks, pulling away from me and walking over to the dresser to grab her keys from it.

"Yeah!" I say, and we hear a knock on the door, "That's our sign!" She giggles, grabbing my hand as we walk to the front door.

We get into the car, and as soon as we arrive to the building, we have to go from the back entry towards my very own dressing room, and I've never been more excited.

A woman comes in, gesturing me to sit on a chair in front of a mirror, and guides Lauren to a couch behind me. As we're all settled, she calls in another woman that's going to do my makeup and clothing.

One hour later, my makeup is done and I'm wearing a pair of black ripped jeans, a black and white striped shirt and a pair of white nike air force's. Lauren's guided to a seat in the studio, but on the side so she's not in the audience but still able to watch, and I'm standing backstage by the doors, while someone is fixing my mic.

"Okay Camila, you ready?" Karen asks, and I nod. Immediately after that we hear Ellen introduce me, the big blue doors open, and I walk to Ellen who hugs me and we get seated.

"Hi! I'm so excited!" I giggle. "Oh my god, me too!" Ellen says."So, your YouTube covers are doing really good! Where did you get the idea of starting a YouTube channel?" She starts, and I smile.

"Well, my girlfriend actually gave me the idea, you know, 'cause i was singing literally every second of the day and she was joking about me making a youtube channel so I could sing for that, and it got me thinking, and I did it!"I say and she smiles.

I look up at the huge screen behind us and see a picture of me and Lauren that they took off my Instagram account.

"So your girlfriend huh, she's here today right? She wanna come out here for a second?" Ellen asks, looking around the room searching for the dark haired girl.

A crew member brings Lauren out from where she's seated, and she walks towards me and sitting down next to me.

"Lauren, right?" Ellen asks, and my girlfriend nods."So you got her to make a YouTube channel and let everybody enjoy her voice!" Ellen says excitedly and Lauren giggles."Yeah, Cause this girl can sing! And I knew she could get really big if she posted it on YouTube, Cause that's her dream you know, so yeah here we are now!" She says, and I giggle.

"That's great! I think all the fans will be really thankful! So how did you two meet?!" Ellen asks, and Lauren and I look at each other. "Uh, I think that's a story for another time." I say, and Lauren nods agreeing.

Ellen asks a few more questions to both Lauren and me, and after that it's time for me to sing.I'm going to do a cover of 'Get You' by Daniel Caesar and Kali Uchis.

The entire time as I'm singing, Lauren and the audience clap and cheer me on. It feels amazing.

As I'm done singing, a crew member leads me back to my dressing room, where Lauren is waiting for me. "That was amazing babe! I'm so proud of you!" She says, hugging me.

I get my stuff, and we leave, again from the back, and go to the hotel by the car that's called here by Karen.

As soon as we get into the hotel room, I drop face down on the bed. I'm exhausted! I kick my shoes off, and Lauren helps me take off my pants, and I crawl underneath the white covers.

"Baby, all your makeup is still on" Lauren giggles. She grabs some makeup wipes and takes it off for me, and also brushes my teeth, cause I'm literally already almost sleeping. She quickly takes off her own makeup and brushes her teeth, getting out of her sundress and heels, and gets in next to me.

I close my eyes, ready to fall asleep when I feel her kiss my cheek. "Good night babygirl, I'm so proud of you!" She says, before closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around me.
