Secrets part 2

Lauren's POV

I eventually collect myself enough to continue driving, I set off with my destination in mind and focus only on the road. After a few minutes of driving in the dark I arrive at my destination, I turn off the car, grab my phone and purse then make my way up to the apartment, I knock on the door and wait a few seconds for it to open revealing Jaime, she smiles at me but instantly her smile turns to a frown as she sees my state "what's wrong" she asks bringing me into a hug and guiding me inside.

"Me- and, Joey. Had a- fight" I say struggling to get my words out through sobs, "it'll be alright, it's just a fight you will get through it" she says and I shake my head "no, I've fucked everything up Jaime, he hates me" I say sobbing into her chest, "he doesn't Lauren he loves you, I've seen it. Why do you think he hates you?" She says rubbing my back, I shrug "he just does, we barely spoke the past week and we're keeping secrets from each other" I say thinking back over our argument, maybe he didn't hate me but I definitely couldn't go back now, "can I stay here tonight?" I ask, Jamie nods "why don't you go have a shower" she says and I nod back bearing a smile.

Joey's POV

I stay crumbled on the floor for a few minutes sobbing, Lauren definitely hated me, I fucked everything up. I pick myself up off the floor and swept up the broken glass pieces throwing them out, I locked the door and made my way to the bedroom, Diane was huddled in her bed quite traumatised by the events that had just occurred, "it's okay Diane" I say leaning down and picking her up and cuddling her in my arms, I sit down on the bed with Diane still in my arms and look around the room and notice her purse is missing from where it usually lays and presumably she also took her phone as that was not in sight either, at least she had those I thought to myself. As my eyes scan around the room they land on a small object by the door, curious I place Diane on the bed and walk over to it, by closer examination I see it's a pregnancy test, a positive one in fact. My mind races, is this what she's been hiding, I'm such an idiot I was out here stressing out so much that I didn't realise she was bearing this huge news.

I immediately want to wrap her in my arms and let out everything we've been hiding from each other, but she needs time first. I pick up my phone and type and retype a quick message to her eventually finishing with 'goodnight I love you' I hold my finger over the send button for a few seconds going over the message one last time then send it, I then text Jaime presuming she had gone to her I type out 'hey, is Lauren at yours. Is she ok?' I go over the message and send it much less hesitant than the message I sent to Lauren.

Jaime replies a few seconds later 'yeah she is, she'll be ok she just needs some time' I sigh, at least I know where she is, 'thanks, do you think she will be ok if I come over in the morning?' I send her, 'yeah you can come over in the morning' she sends back, 'I'll come by around 10, just make sure she answers the door', 'cool can do, sleep well Joey', 'thanks you too.'

Lauren's POV

I hop out of the shower and change into a spare change of clothes Jaime lent me, she was slightly taller than me so they hung off me slightly. I exited the bathroom to find a new message from Joey, 'Goodnight I love you' I read, reading the message made me feel slightly better but I didn't reply.

I walk out to the living room and see that Jaime has set up a makeshift bed on the couch, "come on Lauren you need some rest" she says guiding me over to the couch and lying me down under the covers. "Do you need anything else" she asks and I shake my head, "alright get some rest" she says rubbing my arm then turning off the lights and leaving the room.

I slowly blink my eyes open readjusting them to the morning light in the room, I feel way colder here not waking up in Joey's arms. The smell of bacon and eggs reaches my nose and I sit up, "Morning, would you like some bacon and eggs?" Jaime asks smiling, "that would be great, thanks" I say smiling back, I lean back so I'm sitting on the couch with my legs crossed, I take out my phone and look at the message from Joey, I think about what he'd be doing right at this moment, my thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door, "can you get that" Jaime calls out from the kitchen, "okay" I call back.

I walk up to the door unlocking it and pulling it open revealing. Joey. "Oh my god, Joey" I say surprising myself as I fling myself into his arms, "I have so much to tell you" I say stuttering slightly, "I know, I was such an idiot" he says and I pull back "you know what?" I ask confused, "I know what it Is you need to tell me, I'm sorry I was so wrapped up in my own world that I didn't realise what you were going through" he replies and I'm even more confused, "how?", "I found this" he says holding up the positive pregnancy test, I feel my pocket suddenly remembering having it in my pocket yesterday, It must of fallen out at some point without me noticing.

I feel tears prick my eyes again and I fling myself back into his arms, he holds me tight rubbing my back, "you still love me?" I ask shaking in his arms, "yes, so much Lo, I love you more than anything else in the world. In fact I've been so stressed because I've wanted to do this" he says pulling back, I stand confused for a few seconds then he kneels in front of me, I let out a gasp "Joey!", "well this isn't what I had planned but Lauren I love you so much, I never thought I could love something or someone as much as I love you, I can't even put it to words how much I love you, you make me a better person and you have taught me so much over the years and I want you to be by my side for as long as I live. So will you, marry me?" He asks while I stand there crying tears of happiness, "yes" I manage to get out before he slides the ring onto my finger, I pull him up from the floor and wrap my arms around him, "I love you so much" I say connecting our lips, I wrap my legs around his torso our lips still connected as Joey walks into Jaime's apartment and brings us both to the couch as we kiss each other so hard, holding very tight to each other.

"Would you like some bacon and eggs Joey?" Jaime asks from the kitchen, we pull apart "yes please" he calls back then immediately connects back our lips, I hold onto him so tightly for fear of losing him again.

A/N I was planning to upload this a few days ago but I've had quite a busy week and just never got the chance to.
