Against All Odds (Lauren/You)

Chapter 4

March 15th, 2015

Things have been crazy around here. That's why I haven't written in you for at least a month & a half. Between school, hanging with Lauren, Hazel or Normani. My schedule is so full. I may only have a few minutes to get this out of my system but I'm going for it. Things between Lauren and I have been great. We are currently 30 plus days in our 90 day journey and I could not be anymore happier. She makes me so happy I can't help but feel my heart flutter when I'm around her. I'm falling fast and I hope that it will be Lauren who catches me. Crap I've got to go pick up Lauren she's making me dinner tonight and then she's spending the night for the first time. Ahhhhh! The nerves I'm feeling are through the roof.

Your POV

I swear I have only been sitting here for 5 minutes and I couldn't help but have the tightest grip on the steering wheel. Lauren was going to be sleeping in the same bed as me. Lauren was finally making her way to my car, she was wearing joggers and a flowy tank top with a pair of converse and her hair up in a bun. The simplest outfit allowed for her beauty to radiate even more if that was possible. Which just made me even more nervous. Tonight had to be perfect. She got in my car and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

Y: What are you making us?

L: I can't tell you that. You'll find out when we get to the grocery store. 

Y: How do you even know what I like? 

L: I've known you for a while now. I'm positive you are going to like it.

We went to the store and bought loads of fresh vegetables and herbs along with some chicken and rice. When we got back to the apartment Lauren wouldn't let me help with any of the cooking. I got her to agree to allowing me to do the dishes and make dessert. Lauren made baked chicken sauteed with mushrooms, with a side of kale and rice.

Y: Lolo this is so good. Can you just cook for me all the time?

L: Of course Y/nn, whenever you want me to.

Y: Whenever?

L:Okay not whenever. Lol This apple pie is good too. Can I have another slice?Y:Of course. Do you want to watch a movie after this?

L: Only if it's the notebook.

Y: I should have known.

After we finished eating and I washed the dishes we cuddled up together to watch the notebook for the 100th time it seemed like. I was prepared for the sobs to flow from Lauren. The worse flood of tears came when Noah said "So it's not going to be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're going to have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me...everyday." Lauren grabbed the remote and paused it to turn and look at me. Her eyes were wide and she looked shocked. Her hand moved up to my face and cupped my cheek.

L: Babe, why are you crying?Y: I'm not crying.L: Yes you are. Look.

Lauren wiped my face and on the tip of fingers were glistening wet tears. I've watched this movie multiple times but never before have I cried at any part of it. That wasn't until I realized I felt the same way Noah did with Allie. Lauren made me feel things I've never felt before.

Y: I don't know why I began to cry. I guess it just got to me.

L: That's okay. I always cry at that part. Now we can cry together.

Y: Yeah babe we can cry together.

L: Another time though yeah I'm ready for bed.

With just that one sentence my nerves came crashing back like a ton of bricks. We made our way to my bedroom and grabbed my pjs and let Lauren change in my room. I quickly gave myself a pep talk and walked back into my room. I made it back in the room before Lauren came out the bathroom and when she did I couldn't help but stare.

Camila's POV

I know I fucked up what me and Lauren had. I was being selfish. I knew that what I was doing wasn't only going to hurt her but Ariana as well. Ariana came along when things were rocky between me and Lauren and I knew I shouldn't' have flirted back but it felt good to be wanted again. If I could I would go back in time and change it all. When Lauren broke up with me I was devastated. She told me she wouldn't ever leave me but she did. I fell into an all time low and in order to make myself feel better, I kept Ariana around. I know I'm an idiot but what was I supposed to do. I was lonely and I knew she would stick around. It wasn't until the other day that I realized I have to get Lauren back. I will fight for her and prove to her that I am worthy of her love. She thinks I don't notice that she's getting all cozy with that new girl but that won't last long. Lauren Michelle Jauregui belongs with me and I WILL get her back.

A/N: I'm sorry that at the end of both POV's I left a bit of a cliffhanger but I didn't want to have too much in this chapter. Long time no see. Can you believe that I updated because I can't. This story is a little bit more challenging than Some Changes but I try my best. Let me know if you have any feedback, comments, suggestions. I'm always looking for improvement. I love you babies. Have a good day/night.
