The Only Cure

Episode 25

Lauren: Baby, I'm ready for round 2!
Lexi: Again babe, you want more? I love how affectionate you are
Lauren: Yes, yes, yes, more baby please!!
Lexi: Awww I can't say no to my beautiful girl!
Christina: Hey lovebirds, Lauren looks like you had quite some fun!
Lisa: I had thought I walked in on them having sex as I was not expecting to walk in seeing them aggressively making out.
Lauren: Well, as much as we love Barrett, Dom, Leo and Lily we don't want kids of our own.
Christina: We all 100% respect your decision.
Lauren: Chris I say whining in pain, I'm craving nicotine again, ugh I need nicotine so fricken badly I say getting emotional.
Christina: Laur, you can't have any hun, it's not good for you, remember? You are stronger than your cravings. It's okay Laur, don't cry sweetheart.
Lexi: babe come here my love, it's okay, I'm here, let it out. You don't need nicotine, I'm here for you, I love you.
Lauren: Baby, do you know what it's like to want something you can't have? My mouth begins to water just thinking about nicotine.
Lexi: Babe I understand 100%, do you know what's it's like rushing in the morning trying to look perfect for you not even having a chance to drink a cup of coffee? Sometimes without coffee I too can become irritable but after a while I learn to move on without it because the only thing I really need is you. Do you understand?
Lauren: I'm sure the urge for caffeine is not as strong as the urge to smoke. At least you know how to move on from it, I can't say the same about myself.
Lexi: Babe, your going to get through this, please just trust me, I've never once let you down. I don't want you to start smoking nicotine again babe, I don't, it would break my heart especially because of how much you've accomplished so far finding the strength to quit.
Lauren: Wow, thank you baby I say wiping the tears off my face.
Christina: Hello I say answering my phone
Officer Steven's: Hello, this is Correctional Officer Steven's calling from the Nashville State prison. I wanted to let you know that your sibling Danielle Nicole Cimorelli is requesting to meet up with you soon, she's hasn't given us any details but don't worry,she's in a maximum security unit and won't be able to hurt y'all, if not I can put her on the phone instead.
Christina: Okay, let me talk to her
Dani: Yo, I wanted to tell you, I have a few friends who are coming to get the job done with Lauren, don't even try snitching because if you do Lauren will wind up dead. She as an embarrassment to the Cimorelli family already just by being gay, just wait until the so called "Cimfam" finds out about Lauren's drug problem too." Beep, beep, beep, beep
Christina: Hello, hello? Damn it, she hung up
Lauren: What-wha-what's going on I say shaking nervously. I heard EVERYTHING and I'M DONE. MAYBE I SHOULD JUST RELAPSE OR TELL THE CIMFAM I AM A DRUG ADDICT SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO LOOK UP TO ME ANYMORE I say crying! I can't take it anymore!!!
Lexi: Babe, babe, you need to listen to me my love, calm down, take a deep breath, please don't leave babe I'm begging you I cry out. BABE NO!!!

* LAUREN'S POV *
I bolt out the door going to buy cigarettes, I finally buy them and head straight towards the bridge. I light 3 cigarettes at once numbing all the pain as I get ready to jump.
* END OF POV *
Lexi: LOOK GUYS OVER HERE! Babe please don't do this I cry, listen I know you smoked too and I'm not mad but please don't jump, it's not worth it, please. I can't afford to lose you, my heart would be shattered forever. Please babe, it's not worth it, just turn around and talk to me, I am begging you.
Christina: Please Lauren, listen to Lexi! We need you!
Katherine: I don't want to see my baby sister wind up dead I cry, Lauren please don't I plead.
Lisa: Lauren, no we can talk about this I say sobbing.
Amy: Please don't do this Lauren, our family would be left devastated, we love you, please turn around!
Lauren: Baby!!! I cry out running into her arms, I am sorry. I know I'm not good enough for you, I'm just not, Christina, Katherine, Lisa and Amy y'all don't deserve to have a sibling like me, I'm nothing but "lung cancer Lauren" as Dani likes
to say. I don't know what the Cimfam sees in me, how could anyone possibly look up to me?! I know Dani's been out to kill me, there's no use in going to the police if I'm going to wind up dead as a result of seeking the police's help. I-I-I am just sss-o-r-r-y I say.
Lexi: Babe, before we talk about all of this how about we go home and you can freshen up and put your pj's on okay?
Lauren: Okay
