"Lauren I'm telling you. They're just making it up. Why don't you believe me?" I pleaded, knowing that we are on the brink of breaking up.

"Maybe because it is pretty believable. I mean he's holding your face near to his. I'm pretty sure you two kissed." She hissed. I shook my head wiping the tears.

"We did not Lauren. He's my bestfriend. I would never do that to you. He was just pinching my cheeks for crying out loud." I exclaimed while she just glared at me and looked down.

"Maybe this isn't just gonna work out." She sighed, rubbing her forehead. I then broke down and got down on my knees holding her hands.

"Please don't. Don't give up on us. I love you so much Lo. I can't." I begged her while hugging her knees. She just put her hand on my shoulder.

"Okay." She muttered and I got up hugging her. I kept on saying thank you while she just stood there with her hands on the side.

"Y/N!" I smiled, holding out my arms. She then hugged me while carrying me. I giggled and smacked her on the arm.

"I missed you!" She exclaimed.

"Aww I missed you too Dinah." I said side hugging her. She chuckled patting me on the head.

"Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" She asked curiously while I just gave her a look. Hey eyes widened and she clapped her hands.

"She's gonna be so surprised and what's in the bag?" I looked to the bag and smiled.

"There's a stuffed animal and chocolates." I said proudly while she just awwed. She patted me on the head before leaving. The show was about to start. So I stayed backstage and watched them from there. They were amazing. As always.

The show ended and they were about to go backstage so I hid. I watched them as they all sighed, taking a drink from their water bottles. Dinah winked at me before going to Lauren.

"So Lo...what you gonna do after?" She said to Lauren while winking at me again. I facepalmed myself. Way to be subtle Dinah.

"Oh I'm going out with Zayn." Now that took all their attention. Even mine. Who's Zayn? Dinah cleared her throat.

"Who's Zayn? I mean what about Y/N? Isn't she your girlfriend?" Dinah asked. Lauren raised her eyebrow, laughing at her. That kinda hurts.

"Me and Y/N? We broke up." That was the last straw and I finally revealed myself.

"What do you mean broke up?" I asked, my hands shaking already. She just stared at me, shocked that I was here. Surprise.

"I..I thought we already broke up. I mean it's clear that we were not working out Y/N. And we never were just meant to be. We were always just good friends." I sobbed now, Dinah hugged me while glaring at Lauren.

"What the heck Lauren?" She said with anger in her voice. Lauren raised her hands.

"Woah there. Why are you putting the blame on me? It's not my fault that we didn't work out." She said and I just couldn't hold it in anymore.

"It's not. But you gave up on us so easily. You didn't even put effort on trying to work our relationship out. I mean is that it? We had a misunderstanding, and you just give up. I thought you were better than that." I looked at her disappointed. She didn't budge.

"Well you thought wrong." She muttered and I just ran away after that.

Lauren's POV

"Nice going Lo." Dinah said before leaving. Camila was about to say something but she just shook her head and left. While Normani and Ally just gave me disapproving looks. I then sighed, brushing my hair.

3 months later...

"Hey. Why did you call me? Is there something wrong?" I asked, kissing him on the cheek before sitting down. He just sighed before looking at me.

"It's just better if we stop pretending." He said, breathing out. I didn't flinch or anything because I knew this was gonna happen. I held his hand.

"I'm sorry." I said politely.

"No I'm sorry. I never should've gotten in the way between you and Y/N." I then felt a pang in my chest when he mentioned Y/N. Fingers then started rubbing on my cheek. I looked up to see Zayn, looking at me apologetically.

"You were crying." He stated. I was? I then started to wipe my tears. But I ended up bawling my eyes out again. He went on my side and rubbed my back.

"I was stupid for letting her go." I said while he just comforted me.

"But you can still do something about that." He said and I looked up at him. He was right.

I don't know why I was here but I just had this feeling. That I should be here. Well maybe also because I'm hoping she would be here. I then looked around, it was beautiful here just like before. I kept on walking until I stopped at a bench. I frowned because she was not here. I then shook my head at myself. I was hoping for my ex girlfriend who I hurt a lot to be here so I can ask for her forgiveness and make her mine again. Stupid me.

I sat on the bench, smiling. I felt like she was just here with me.

"Hey you. Long time Y/N. I'm surprised you could actually last long without me. Okay okay I was kidding. I'm surprised too that I lasted long without you. But wanna know something, I lasted long because of the hope that I'll get to see you again. And tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry Y/N." I said to no one in particular. But I continued anyways, because it feels good to just let it out.

"I'm sorry for not believing in you. For giving up so easily. For not making an effort. Only after you left did I realize how much you meant to me. And how much I loved you. Yes, I love you Y/N. But if you decide that you won't take me back, it's okay. I'll probably just be depressed for a couple years. But I'll live. Knowing that you'll be okay. But I just want to know, if I still have a chance?" I asked. I looked at my side and laughed at myself. I was really stupid and maybe out of my mind. I was talking to myself.

"I'm really stupid. Here I am talking to myself." I said. I then stood up ready to leave when I heard someone.

"Yes you are stupid." I turned around to see Y/N leaning on a tree. I stared at her for what seemed like an eternity until she cleared her throat. I awkwardly held the back of my neck.

"Did you-" I started but she cut me off.

"Heard all that? Yes I did." She said walking to me with her arms crossed. I then felt hot under her gaze.

"So..." I dragged out not knowing what to say.

"You hurt me. A lot. Only someone stupid will take back someone who hurt them." I looked down. It hurt. It hurts a lot. I just nodded. I expected that. What I didn't expect is how much it hurts. It was overwhelming. But I should respect her decision. I started to walk away until I felt her pull me. I looked at her with teary eyes and eyebrows raised.

"And you should know that I'm stupid. I'm stupidly and hopelessly in love with you Jauregui." Those were the words she said before pressing her lips against mine.
