Lauren looks at the time on her phone, reading 5:36 of the bright screen, looking up at Ethan who had a small grin on his face, raising his eyebrows at the girl.
"go" she hears in her ear, looking up at the nosy boy sitting next to her, "i know you want to"
"i do" she says, "but i had this conversation with him yesterday and...it wasn't a happy one"
"Lauren what's the worst that could happen hm?"
"oh i don't know, him telling me his girlfriend found out and she's pissed and now he wants nothing to do with me?"
"okay let's be real, you never actually did anything, she can't be mad"
"yes she can Ron, we flirted, i know how that feels" Lauren says, a large group of intrusive thoughts gathered into her mind.
"look, he's not gonna say anything bad in the Auditorium, it's bad luck, now shut up and go and meet him, like he said, don't be late"
"i mean...it's not but okay, i'm going" Lauren says, grabbing her purse and standing up out of her seat, Ronnie stepping out to let her through.
"hey! where you going?" Dylan says, all of the tables attention on her.
"erm, i'm just really tired okay? ima get a few hours of sleep before the semi final yeah?"
"okay...we will be back in a few hours, the nights only just begun bitch!" Jack says, clinking glasses with Dylan's.
"alright, i'll see you lot later" Lauren says to them, looking over at Ronnie, "and thank you" she mouths to him, walking away towards the door.
She walks out of the door and over to Jacks car, the keys kept in a pocket in her purse. She unlocked the cars and climbs into the drivers seat, pulling out of the Hotel car park and towards the Arena on the other side.
After about 10 minutes of driving, Lauren pulls up to the Area entrance, flashing her card to the security outside and in the lobby, a few people she recognised waving at the girl.
Lauren walks to the other side of the building and up a large set of stairs, passing different rooms, photos of previous eurovision winners and performances.
There was many different thoughts playing on Laurens mind. What was Damiano going to say? what the hell was Quinn doing? Is Damiano about to end things between them? Is this a trap? Am i even going to see Damiano?
All of a sudden, Lauren was standing outside one of the Auditorium entrance doors, no noise being heard in, or outside of the large room.
"fucking hell i'm shitting myself" Lauren says to herself, wiping her hands down her leg trousers, "okay Lauren Davies, you've got this, nothing is going to happen"
"what's not gonna happen?"
Lauren looks around to see Elena leaning up against the wall smirking at the girl.
"oh Elena, i am so glad your here" Lauren says, walking over to her, "your on tonight! arnt you supposed to be getting ready?"
"oh come on, i got 2hours and a bit, i'll be fine" Elena says, pushing off the wall with her foot, "what's up with you?"
Lauren takes the note from her pocket and hands it to Elena, the girl picking at the skin by her nails as she awaits Elenas reaction.
"I'm confused" Elena say dryly, looking up at the girl.
"what?"
"I'm confused" she repeats, "why are you so worried?"
"Elena! do you not remember the conversation me and Damiano had the other day?" Lauren says, rubbing her eyes.
"oh....OH shit!" Elena says, the realisation kicking in, "damn girl, your screwed"
"what? no-"
"um yes, do you not read the signs?"
"i mean...i just read what it said on the note?"
"no no NO" Elena says, walking over to Lauren and placing the note in her hand, "no Kiss on the end, not his real name, the 'dont be late'? bit rude don't you think?"
"Elena i love you, but your really not helping" Lauren says, looking at the girl.
"i'm just being honest babe, i'm just saying, don't get your hopes up too high, but you never know" she shrugs, pulling out her phone of her purse, "you know it's 6:01 right?"
"shit really?" Lauren says, glancing at Elenas phone, "okay okay, i got this, nothing bad is going to happen"
"mhm okay babe, i'll see you on the stage!!" Elena says, running back down the corridor towards the entrance.
Lauren pushes open the large doors, walking into the auditorium and down the stairs towards the stage, no one in sight.
"your late" she hears, looking around her to find the source, "i'm kidding, but seriously we don't have long, there's a semi final tonight you know"
Lauren frowns at the stage, a figure sitting on the edge of the stage, looking directly at her. Damiano was not here.
Lauren walks towards the stage, confusion filling her mind as she gathers a glimpse of the person on the stage.
"vic?"
