The Only Cure

Episode 17

*Lauren's POV*
I wake up early and am completely showered, dressed, make up on, teeth brushed, etc. Everybody should be waking up soon. I head downstairs and smile at the sight of Barrett sleeping in his crib.
* END OF POV *
Lauren: Baby, wake up my love, it's 9:00. I let you sleep for an extra hour. You know I need my morning cuddles to function!!
Lexi: mmm, morning babe, you look gorgeous.
Lauren: I cuddle with Lexi kissing her neck and cheeks until Christina ruins the moment. What's up Chris?
Christina: I just wanted to tell you that you have to take your gummy vitamins.
Lauren: Thanks Chris, I love you!
Lexi: Babe, I need to tell you something. Christina, Katherine, Lisa and Amy are already aware. I have to go out of town today and won't be back until tomorrow, I am going to see my relatives. I already asked my parents if there was room in the car for you but between my brother and all of our stuff you won't fit. Don't worry babe, I'm gonna make sure they keep you safe and happy and I'll be back before you know it.
Lauren: But baby, I'm gonna miss you, wait before you go can we make out pleaseee!!!
Lexi: Of course babe! You will be fine, I will come back first thing tomorrow morning. I lean in making out with Lauren aggressively kissing her lips.
Lauren: Mmmm baby, I love you so much it's indescribable, your kisses are amazing. I break the kiss embracing Lexi in my arms.
Lexi: Babe, I have to go now, okay? I love you so much and I will see you tomorrow.
Lauren: I love you too baby!
Christina: Bye Lexi, have fun!
Katherine: Bye Lexi, good luck!
Lisa: Bye Lexi, see you soon!
Amy: By Lexi, safe travels!

Later that day...

Lauren: Hey Chris, I think I'm going to go for a run. I'll keep my phone on and I'll text you when I'm on my way back home.
Christina: Okay, have fun!

* LAUREN'S POV *
Ugh, I really miss Lexi, I feel so lonely and depressed, I know I shouldn't vape but I need to relieve my stress. Luckily I had $10 on my debit card, I ran to the gas station and bought myself a puff bar. I put the puff bar to my lips and inhale slowly immediately feeling a buzz. I decide to walk home and text Christina telling her I'm on my way home.
* END OF POV *
Lauren: Hey Chris, I'm home!
Christina: Hi Laur, can we talk real quick?
Lauren: Sure
Christina: I need you to be honest with me, okay?
Lauren: Okay I sigh.
Christina: I got a notification from the bank that you bought a puff bar at the gas station. Why Laur?
Lauren: I'm so sorry, tears start rolling down my face. I miss Lexi and felt so lonely, I can't live without her, she's my twin flame. I was feeling so depressed that I didn't know how to cope with her being gone. Chris I'm so sorry, I know I messed up and I really don't deserve your kindness as I'm sure you have better things to do than to look out for me I say bawling my eyes out.
Christina: Lo, shhhh calm down, it's okay. I might have other things to do but looking after you is one of my biggest priorities because I love you and want the best for you. I'm not mad at you and I'm here to help you. Here's the deal. You take one last hit, then you are going to submerge it in water and you are going to pray with me okay?
Lauren: Okay, I take one last hit making it long. I then submerge it in water as a few tears fall down my cheeks. I kneel down and pray with Christina.
Lexi: Babe, I'm back honey!!! Come give me kisses!!
Lauren: Baby, I scream!!! I MISSED you so much, I start making out with Lexi not realizing I was drawing an audience.
Lexi: Mmmm babe, okay honey, we can kiss some more later my love. Babe, I heard what happened and I'm not mad at you or upset with you. I understand why you got depressed and lonely so I made sure to rush back when Christina texted me. It's going to be alright babe, I'm not going anywhere else and I'm here to stay, I might have even moved in with you already.
Lauren: Baby what are you talking about?
Lexi: I was talking with Christina and thought maybe I could live here with you and Amy that way you and I can be inseparable from each other. What do you think babe?
Lauren: Yes, yes, yes, yes! Let's do it I say passionately kissing Lexi on the lips.
