The Only Cure

Episode 9

Christina: Laur, I am so so sorry she did that to you.
Dani: Fuck you Lauren and your stupid girlfriend too, she doesn't love you, she hates you.
Lexi: Excuse me, don't you dare tell me that I don't love Lauren, I would take a bullet for her, I would sacrifice my life for her.
Dani: You better watch your back Lexi, you might be next. Bye losers...
Lauren: Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I kiss Lexi and wave goodbye to Lisa.
Lisa: Chris, after I bring Dani to mom and dads would you mind if I bring Lily here with me?
Christina: Sure, I don't see why not!
Katherine: Lo, don't listen to Dani, we love you so much.
Amy: Nothing will ever stop us from loving you.
Lauren: Baby, come here, I have a surprise for you.
Lexi: Babe, what is it? I stare into Lauren's beautiful brown eyes admiring them.
* LAUREN'S POV *
I grab Lexi by the waist and cuddle her on the couch passionately making out with her. There's nothing more that I would rather do than kiss Lexi. I smile in to the kiss enjoying every second.
* END OF POV *
Amy: I so stand the relationship they have, they are so cute!!
Christina: Let's let them enjoy their moment.
Lexi: Baby, that was the best make out session I've had in a while, that was so worth it.
Lauren: Chris, you don't think Dani is going to come hurt us right I say taking a rip from my JUUL exhaling slowly.
Christina: Quite frankly Lo, I don't know what she's capable of but no need to worry, we have your back.
Lauren: You guys couldn't have had my back if Dani punched me right out of left field I say taking a long rip from my JUUL letting the smoke out slowly from my nose.
* LAUREN'S POV *
I know Lexi tried to block Dani from hitting me but the others were no match for Dani. I'm scared for the sake of myself and Lexi. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm under attack. I take a few deep drags from my JUUL letting the smoke pass through my lungs leaving a pleasant sensation in my throat and lungs. I'm almost finished with the entire pod, I am just so stressed out with everything going on, I know Christina won't be happy as one pod is equivalent to one pack of cigarettes. I'm going to have to use the remaining juice in the pod sparingly.
* END OF POV *
Christina: Lo, are you feeling okay, your coughing up a storm, is everything alright?
Lauren: Yes I say clearing my throat. I just may have inhaled to deeply, I'm okay though.
Christina: Laur, the look on your face shows me that you are feeling otherwise. You are buzzed, how much did you vape Laur? Please be honest, if not for me at least for Lexi. We won't be mad, we want to help you.
Lauren: I-I-I mmm-might have almost fffinished the entire pppod I say as my voice gets shaky and I start trembling out of nervousness. I'm s-s-s-sorry I say pulling my knees up to my head covering my face as I start to cry.
Lisa: Hey y'all, I'm home and I brought a little guest. Lily, show momma and your aunts how your starting to walk. Hey Lexi I didn't know you were here, is now not the best time? Lily come to momma, I have some apple sauce for you! Amy would you mind putting the bib on Lily while I put her in her high chair and then you can feed her? I'm just concerned about what is happening with Lauren.
Amy: No problem Lise. Okay Lily, here comes the airplane making a landing zoooom, Lily giggles and smiles.
Christina: Awww Lauren, don't cry sweetheart, come here, let me give you a hug. While I may not be happy with your decision, I can't be mad at you, your still trying hard to sober up and I understand how difficult this is for you. You obviously had a panic attack not knowing how to escape the pain so you went into fight or flight mode doing what you knew would calm you down in an unpredictable situation. Your my baby sister and I don't like seeing you cry, none of us are mad at you but you've definitely had enough nicotine for one day and I'm sure in a few hours you are sure to get a headache and won't feel too great. How about you cuddle up with Lexi and I'll put on a movie for y'all to watch?
Lauren: Okay Chris, I love you as I hug her.
