Scotty McCreery Imagines and One Shots

True Love Lasts (McLaina)

Lauren Alaina's POV

I couldn't get him out of my head. It's been years since we actually hung out, but I'm still not used to him not being around.

From day one of Hollywood week, Scotty and I were inseparable. We just sort of clicked, and not just our voices. Through the months of the live performances, and even throughout the tour, we both knew there was more than a friendship between us. There were times when we'd sneak out of our rooms at 3 am just to go out by the pool and look up at the stars. I loved him; I still love him.

After the tour, we went out separate ways, promising to not let go of what we had, but we did. Scotty's career skyrocketed while I was left in the dust. I was happy for him though.

I saw him at award shows every few months, but we barely talked. Although his hugs weren't any less magical.

A few months after the tour ended, I saw The Trouble with Girls music video and recognized the lead female role as the girl he went to prom with. I texted him and found out she was his girl. Her name was Gabi.

Of course I was upset. I loved him, but I didn't let his happiness stop mine.

Within weeks of finding out about Gabi I met Alex. We became best friends and he eventually asked me to be his girl.

After 3 years, relationship with Alex ended about a week before Scotty and Gabi's.

I had no clue why they broke it off, but Alex was only after money and my virginity. But I didn't let that happen.

Now, here I am 2 months after our breakup thinking about Scotty. Does he still feel the way he did 4 years ago? Does he still think about me too?

Only him and God knew the answers to those questions.

After fighting myself about it for the past 2 weeks I think I'm finally gonna do it. I'm gonna text him. I don't care if he's in North Carolina and I'm in Nashville, I'll fly out there right now if that's what it takes to get back what we had, if we can get it back.

I picked up my phone, hands shaking, and pulled up his contact. I typed in a simple message praying he would reply.

"Hey. How are you?"

I wasn't expect him to text back anytime soon, but he did.

"Hey, Stranger. I've had better days but I'm still thankful."

My heart started racing. I could never stand the thought of him being upset.

"What's wrong bud? You know I'm willing to help if I can."

I was praying he would tell me, but I didn't want to push him away.

"You wouldn't believe me of I told you."

What would I not believe? Was he hurt?

"I wouldn't? Try me?"
I wanted to help him. I wanted to know he was smiling.

"Are you at your apartment in Nashville?"

Why did he want to know?

"Yeah, why?"

Was he going to call me? Send me something?

"I'll be there in half an hour. I wanna talk about this in person. It's important."

HOLY CRAP HE'S ON HIS WAY OVER! I HAVE TO CLEAN!

"Alright see you soon. Drive safe."

I put down my phone and ran around the apartment, cleaning like a mad woman. I did the dishes, swept the floor and picked up all the crap on the floor.

About half hour later there was a knock on the door. My stomach filled with butterflies, knowing I would see his face any second. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Before I could get a word out, he hugged me, tight.

"Hey La." he said quietly while still hugging me.

"Hi Scotty." he released me and scanned me with his eyes.

"Dang, you've grown up on me. You look great. You must've lost 80 pounds."

"Well it has been 4 years. You've grown up yourself. I see you're finally able to grow that beard you always wanted." I chuckled pointing to his scruffy chin. He just smiled. "Come on in and take a seat. I'll get us some tea."

He made his way to the couch and I went to the fridge.

"So, what's gotcha so glum chum?" I asked while pouring our tea. I walked in and he patted the cushion beside him. I sat next to him and looked his way as he began.

"Gabi and I broke up 2 months ago because I found out she was only with me to try and have my child so she would be forced to be in my life forever. She didn't even like me. Of course she got mad when I told her I was waiting until marriage and refused to do anything more than kissing before then. Ever since then I've been trying to think back to when I was the happiest, and all I can think of is...well... "

"Well what? "

"When I was with you, Laur. You made me so happy. I was never upset when you were around. I've missed you. I've missed us. I wish I would've never lost touch with you and I wish I never would've been with Gabi."

"Do you really mean that?"

He reached over and held my hand in his.

"With all my heart."

I looked down.

"I've missed you too. I wish I had never met Alex. He was after the same thing as Gabi. In all honesty I texted you because I missed you too much. I love you Scotty. I always have."

He set his tea on the coffee table in front of us and so did I. He took his empty hand and placed it on my cheek. He leaned forward and planted on my lips the kiss I have longed to feel for the past 3 years.

"I love you to Lauren. I always will."
