The Only Cure

Episode 7

Christina: Lo, get up sleepyhead, it's time for dinner, Katherine made your favorite, mac & cheese! Dani will not be joining us for dinner, she will be eating it upstairs.
Lauren: Katherine this mac & cheese is great. Thanks for always having my back you guys, you all make me feel so loved. Kath, would you mind getting me some budlight from the beer fridge that I have?
Katherine: Lo, I don't think it's a good idea to be drinking right now, I think you would benefit from drinking some water to flush out your kidneys, we only want the best for you. Lo, where's your vape, will that ease your mind a little bit? If Chris says it's okay you can only take a few hits but no more than 3, deal?
Lauren: Deal! I love you Kath and your mac & cheese. I think Max would like this, you should try making this for him one day.
Christina: Lo, I'm back, here's your JUUL. You can only take 3 hits but only on one condition, you have to sit here and do it so we can watch you to make sure you only take 3 hits.
Lauren: Ok Chris, I 100% respect your rules. I kissed her cheek happily and gave her a hug.
* LAUREN'S POV *
I take my first hit inhaling deeply as Katherine, Amy, Lisa and Christina giggle at the crackling noise. I exhale some of the smoke from my nose and then make some tiny o's. Christina starts chuckling when she sees it coming out of my nose. I take one last hit and make it a long one.
* END OF POV *
Lauren: Christina, I am feeling sleepy, I don't think I can take another hit. I think I am going to lay down in my bed.
Christina: Okay Lo, if you need anything you can shoot me a text, I love you.
* LAUREN'S POV *
I walk upstairs and go into Dani and I's room not prepared for what was about to hit me next. All of a sudden I get trampled on with Dani kicking my back calling me "Lung Cancer Lauren". I scream in pain yelling for Christina.
* END OF POV *
Christina: OMG, DANI, HOW DARE YOU ASSAULT YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT? PACK YOUR BAGS, YOUR MOVING BACK IN WITH MOM AND DAD UNTIL YOU FIND SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR LAUREN AND SHOW HER EMPATHY AND COMPASSION.
Dani: Fuck you Lauren, nobody loves you, we all hate you, why don't you get high and die, Cimorelli would be better off without you with your horrific voice.
Christina: THAT'S IT, DANI OUT. YOUR DONE.. Katherine, can you please drive her to mom and dads house? I've had enough of this disrespect from Dani.
Katherine: Okay, let's go Dani, I'm not gonna fight with you and your not going to hurt me.
* KATHERINE'S POV *
I finally managed to get Dani in the car even though she was kicking the seats and got the dirt from her shoes everywhere. I explained the situation to our mom and dad and they said they would be happy to take care of Dani. So Dani, Joey, Christian, Nick and the rest of the family are at our mom and dads house. I went to my house and picked up Max, Dominic and Leo to bring them over to our studio house which is the same house that Lauren and Amy live in.
* END OF POV *
Katherine: Guys I'm home and brought some visitors. I brought the twins and Max.
Lisa: Hey Max! Long time no see, aww the twins are adorable, can I do tummy time with Dominic?!
Katherine: Of course you can, babe can you hand Lisa Dominic?
Max: Sure thing as I pull Katherine in for a passionate kiss wrapping my arms around her waist.
Amy: Awwww you lovebirds are so cute! I stan!!
Lauren: Hey y'all, I was finally able to get some sleep, the nicotine really knocked me out so I slept great. I just wanted to thank y'all for helping me. AWWW Katherine you brought the twins, yaaaaa! Can I play with Leo?!
Katherine: Sure Lauren, just promise me, no vaping around the boys or drinking okay sweetheart?
Lauren: Of course! I scoop up Leo and hold him in my lap.
* LAUREN'S POV *
Hi Leo, I'm Lauren your younger aunt. If you can't say Lauren you can say Lolo. Who's a cute lil baby, is it you? Your so handsome bubba, you love me, gimmie kisses.
*END OF POV*
Katherine: Wow Lauren, you did great with Leo!
Lauren: Thanks, I think I'm going to work on mixing my song flames up in my room.
Katherine: Okay Lo, have fun!
Lauren: So I have to mix Flames and tweak a few things, maybe add some more reverb and delay. I'm really craving beer right now, I guess a few sips won't hurt. I end up drinking 3 cans of beer. I'm gonna see what Christina is up to.
Christina: Hey Laur, what's up? Come on in baby girl!
Lauren: Heyyy Chrissy, come hereee.
Christina: Laur, have you been drinking?
Lauren: Ugh, maybe, but I feeling fine, nothing wrong, I was just thirsty, I said giggling. Come here baby, I needs to kiss youuu!
Christina: Come on Laur, we need to get you sobered up.
Lauren: Chrissy, can you pleasee call Lexi for meee.
Christina: Laur, I don't know if your girlfriend is going to want to take care of you if your drunk but sure I'll give her a call.

* CHRISTINA'S POV *
I dial Lexi, Lauren's girlfriend.
Lexi: Hey babe, what's up?
Christina: Sorry Lexi, it's Christina, Lauren's oldest sister. She kind of got a little drunk and she started to quit smoking but I think she needs a little motivation and I'm sure she'll be happy to see you!
Lexi: I'm on my way!
* END OF POV *
Lexi: Baby, I'm here!!
Lauren: Babeee, I missed you, where have you been!!! Come and give me kisses please!!!!!
Lexi: I pull Lauren in for a long passionate kiss, her lips are so soft. I lay down with her still kissing her and wrapping my arms around her waist.
Lauren: Mhmmmm baby, I smile into her kiss and then shortly break it to cuddle with her.
Christina: awww y'all are so cute, Lauren and Lexi y'all make my heart so happy I say with a smile as Katherine, Lisa and Amy are wiping happy tears off of their cheeks.
Lexi: Baby, I couldn't be any happier to hear that you are quitting cigarettes. I don't like when you smoke baby, it's not good for you, you don't need cigarettes to make you feel better, you have me and I will always make you feel better. When your craving cigarettes I will cuddle your cravings away. I won't let you fight through this alone. We are all here for you.
Lauren: Thanks baby, I kiss her cheek softly.
