A Love Like This (Stauren) {Book 1: Completed}

Chapter 4

*Steven's POV*

We had been in Georgia for about a week and I had already gotten used to not as many photographers following me around everywhere. Nothing much had happened yet except for an interview and announcing that I would be at a comic con that upcoming weekend with the rest of the cast. The week after that is when we will start filming season five.

"When's Lauren getting here?" Emmie whined from next to me as I flipped through channels on the TV.

"Uh....when she gets here?" My answer was more of a question which made Emmie ask more things.

"Can she spend the night?"

"If she wants to," I replied.

Then the doorbell rang and Emmie jumped up from the couch and sprinted to the door.

3....2....1

"LAUREN!" Emmie squealed like she does everytime she sees Lauren.

They both walked into the living room and lauren tossed a bag at me. I gave her a confused look.

"Just open it," she laughed. I then opened the bag and pulled out the box inside that was filled with chicken wings. "You wanted chicken wings last week so I hope you still want them."

I gave her a smile and said, "Thanks Laur. I would give you a hug, but I'm way too lazy to stand up." Emmie giggled and sat down on the arm of the couch. "Hey Em, if you go get ready for bed and pick out a movie, maybe we can all watch it."

"Really?"

"Sure," Lauren said.

With that Emmie ran up the stairs. I let out a small laugh when I heard her slam her bedroom door shut. Lauren fell back onto the couch next to me as my phone buzzed from in my pocket. I adjusted myself on the couch and took my phone out and saw who the text was from.

Joana.

I let out a sigh and tossed my phone on the coffee table.

"What?" Lauren asked.

"Eh," I replied.

She playfully nudged my shoulder. "Don't 'eh' me....what's wrong?"

"It's Jo. She's just gotten on my nerves lately and I'm so tired of it. She wants to talk every second of every single day," I replied.

Lauren looked down for a second. "Maybe....you shouldn't be with her anymore."

That surprised me a little bit. "Why not?"

"There are some things you don't know about her," Lauren said, confusing me even more.

"Like what?" I asked.

She took in a deep breath before speaking again. "Because Jo is hurting Emmie."

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"You know that huge bruise on her arm that's all swollen? Yeah, well that was all Jo," Lauren said, not even looking at me.

I then stood up from the couch. "That's bullshit Lauren and you know it. Jo would never do something like that! And I don't really like the fact that you are accusing her of that!"

At that, Lauren stood up too. "Every single time Jo hurts Emmie, she comes and tells me. She doesn't want to tell you 'cause she knows you won't believe her!"

"Stop insulting my girlfriend right in front of me! She would never do something like that to Emmie!" I yelled.

"I'm just telling the truth!" She yelled back.

"No you're not! Now get out of my house!"

She then shook her head at me before turning to leave. Then all of a sudden she stopped and turned around, looking strait at me. She stepped closer and grabbed my shirt, pulling my lips onto hers. I kissed back and held the back of her neck. Then I realized what I was doing and pulled away.

"No...stop. I'm still with Jo whether you like her or not," I said and she nodded.

"If you still do t believe me, then ask Emmie," Lauren said and left the house.

I sighed and ran my fingers trough my head before walking up the stairs and into my room where Emmie was on the bed, looking for a movie.

I sat down next to her. "Whatcha gonna pick?" I asked.

"I don't know yet. There's too many to choose from," she replied and looked through more movies.

"Come here Em," I said and she sat in my lap. "What happened to your arm?" I asked and she looked at the bruise Lauren was talking about.

"Oh....I um...accidentally shut it in the door," Emmie said.

"Emmie...did Jo do that?" I asked and she froze and looked up at me. I saw her eyes start to water and she gave a small nod. I wrapped my arms around her and she sniffled. "I'm so sorry Em, I didn't know. Don't worry, I won't let her ever touch you again."
Then I remembered Lauren. "I gotta go fix something!" I said and quickly ran downstairs and outside.

*Lauren's POV*

I'm so stupid! I looked so desperate.

I sighed and leaned my head back on the headrest of the seat. I hadn't even started my car yet. I wanted to cry so bad. My best friend probably hates me now.

Then all of a sudden my car door was opened and I saw Steven before he brought my face to his and kissed me. I tangled my fingers in his hair and brought him closer so I was laying back and he was on top of me. After just kissing for minutes strait, he pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. "I'm so sorry. I think I love you."
