Smile for me(Laurinah Fanfic)

Chapter 53

*****Dinah's POV*****

"MRS.JAUREGUI!" I yelled into the night, not getting a response. My yelling was pointless as the rainfall picked up. I just continued to walk ad search and walk and search some more, but I didn't see her anywhere. the way I was seeing it, I had no chance of finding her. "Why am I even out here? She hates me" I thought to myself. "Because you're a good person Dinah. You always have been" I heard my mom's voice say in my head. She always said that to me any time I helped someone who was horrible to me.

I ended up downtown, taking a break and resting my feet. "I need to just go home. Lauren is gonna wake up and be worried about me" I thought to myself as I breathed in the night air. But then I looked across the street and saw a lit up bar, lots of people drinking and partying. "No" I thought to myself, "No way she went in there". But her car in front of the place prove me wrong. I stood up and walked over to the front door, putting my hood up, sunglasses up, and my umbrella down. "Alright, it's go time".

I pushed the doors in and saw Clara sitting at the bar, surrounded by big men all in leather jackets. "Oh c'mon, not tonight" I thought. I scanned the scene, seeing it was filled with nothing but men, a few strippers, and Clara and I. She was taking a row of shots and people were cheering her on. "S-set up another round! I-I-I'm goin all night" she yelled in slurred speech.

I walked over to her and called her name to get her attention. "What are ya doin h-here, Fagzilla?" she asked, making me clench my jaw a little. "I'm tryna bring you home, Clara" I said. "Fuck you. I'm not going home to any of those bastards" she yelled loudly. "Please Mrs.Jauregui, I wanna help you" I said, but she just screamed when I grabbed her hand. "Get away from me! She's assaulting me!" she yelled loudly, getting everyone's attention.

"Hey kid" a big guy said, getting off his chair and standing in front of me, "Back off". "I need to take her home to her family for Christmas" I said stepping forward, but he pushed me back. "Please, listen to me. It's for my girlfriend and her family's Christmas fell apart because of me. I wanna make this right".

He and his boys got up from their chairs and we were in a full stare down. He lifted his hand and I closed my eyes, preparing to be hit in my face. But it didn't happen. I opened my eyes to see him being handed a hanker chief to wipe the tears from his face. "Why didn't you say so Ms.Hansen?" he said. "Wait,how do you know me?" "You gave my boy a job as one of your bodyguards. Tory" he said, and then I understood completely. "It was my pleasure, your son's a good man" I said. "Let's get this woman home".

They helped me get her out of the door and into her car. She had fallen asleep and we sat her in the passenger seat and I was gonna drive her home. "You have everything you need, Dinah?" They asked. "Yes sir, thank you for everything" I said to him. "You guys have a Happy Holiday" I yelled as I pulled off.

It was a pretty peaceful drive. Clara stayed asleep throughout it and I was thankful for it. The only thing that made me angry was some of the things she was saying in her sleep. "Give me back my daughter....ya demon" she slurred angrily. I swear by the time we pulled up to her house, my knuckles had turned white from gripping the steering wheel so hard.

I got out the car and went to her side, opening the door. She was still out cold, and I knew if she woke up she would've caused a scene. I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder, closing the door and walked us inside. I carried her upstairs and laid her down in the guest bedroom, covering her with a blanket. I made her take some pills with water to help her hangover be less extravagant tomorrow. "Thank you" I heard her mumble, putting a smile on my face as I closed the door and headed to Lauren's room to lay down.

******Lauren's POV******

I opened my eyes as the sun poured in, smiling widely. "Dinah!" I yelled as I jumped on top of her. "Wake up baby! It's Christmas" I yelled. She just groaned and I jumped on her again. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I yelled. "Okay okay" she yawned, stretching. "C'mon, let's go" she said, standing up with my legs still wrapped around her as she stood up.

"I love you" I said, kissing her lips gently as she pressed my body against a wall. "I love you too" she said back, pecking my lips again. "Let's go downstairs and start this holiday".

Everyone got together on the floor and we started opening gifts. It was nice seeing everyone's face light up. Dinah gave my dad a signed Shaq jersey, Chris got a signed Lebron James ball, and Taylor got a signed softball by the 5 top softball coaches in the US. "How did you even get these?" I asked her, kissing her cheek. "I'm just good like that. But now it's time for your other gift" she said.

She had already gotten me a new dress, ray bands, a Polaroid camera, jewelry, and lingerie(for later), what else could she possibly have planned? She came over with a box, and it seemed like she was about to drop it because it was shaking. "Here Lolo" she said, and I opened the box and gasped. "Dinah! You got him?!?" I squealed while pulling the puppy out of the box. "He's all yours Lo" she laughed as I talked to my puppy. "I wanna name him. I'm gonna call you midnight" I giggled, and he licked my face. "You're the best, baby" I giggled, rubbing Midnight's head as he sat in my lap. "It's all for you, babe" she said.

Then I heard someone start coming down the steps. "I thought eveyone was already awake" I said, looking towards the rest of my confused family. Dinah, on the other hand, didn't look confused at all. She looked nervous. "Merry Christmas family" we heard from the steps, and I turned to the last person I wanted see. "Mom? How'd you get back here?" Chris asked. Dinah sheepishly lifted her hand, "That would be my doing. I brought her here". "YOU BROUGHT HER HERE?!?!" my family yelled. "YOU BROUGHT ME HERE?!" Clara followed up saying.

Everyone started yelling at each other, back and forth about whatever. I honestly think some of them were just being loudly and angry so they could be included. "HEY!" my dad yelled out, causes all of us to stop talking. "Dinah, you brought Clara back home....after I told her to leave my house. Why?" he asked angrily. "Because it's Christmas and everyone deserves to be at home with their families. No one should be alone, even after everything she said and did. We can go back to all the hatred tomorrow, but today is meant to be a happy day" I said.

Everyone just looked at her, blank expressions on their faces. "Listen, family is the most important thing in life. Family comes first, no matter what. Especially on the holidays" I said.

****Dinah's POV****

Clara walked over to me and stood face to face with me. I kneeled a little, trying not to stand over her. "You brought me here?" she asked, and I nodded. She raised her hand up and I shut my eyes, preparing for impact.

But what she did next shocked me and everyone else in this room.
