Lauren: That pizza was great, I'm so full!
Lexi: Babe, maybe take it slow, I don't want you to get a stomach ache.
Lauren: Good idea! I take a small hit from my JUUL sticking it back in my pocket afterwards.
Lexi: Good job babe! Your getting a lot better with controlling yourself!

Lauren: Ugh, uh, what time is it, where is everyone?
Lexi: Christina, Katherine and Lisa went home. You fell asleep babe after you ate too much. It's 2:00 in the morning, let's go upstairs in bed.
Lauren: Okay. Baby, do you know where my JUUL or my lighter is?
Lexi: Babe, didn't you have it when you fell asleep? Isn't it in your back pocket? Here's your lighter, I took it for safe keeping as I didn't want you to lose it. Why babe, did you want to smoke?
Lauren: I did want to smoke but I'm too tired to do anything right now, I just wanna go to bed.
Lexi: Okay babe, let's go.
Lauren: Goodnight my beautiful baby
Lexi: Goodnight babe.

THE NEXT DAY

Christina: Good morning Lauren and Lexi. Laur, we are going to be doing something a bit different today, okay hun? Dani requested the jail warden that she wants to Skype us. Apparently she has something to tell you.
Lauren: O-o-okay, baby will you sit by my side and hold my hand?
Lexi: Of course I will babe!

* LAUREN'S POV *
We are all showered, shaved, clean and dressed. Lexi and I head downstairs where we are greeted by Christina, Katherine, Lisa and Amy. I have never been this nervous before in a long time.

*END OF POV*

Officer Steven's: Hello, can y'all hear me alright?
In unison: Yes we can!
Officer Steven's: Ok Danielle you have the floor. Please be respectful and mindful of how you act and what you say.
Dani: Yes sir! Hi Lauren, I know we haven't talked in a long time ever since I attacked you that night. I just wanted to say I'm so sorry I did that to you. It's just that ever since you started doing drugs everything changed, you were the sister I looked up to, the sister I idolized, the sister I admired, etc. When you turned to drugs I felt like I couldn't look up to you anymore. I'm really sorry for the hate comments too, I never meant to make you feel like crap. Listen, you don't have to quit smoking cigarettes if you aren't ready yet, I understand it's something that helps you, I just hope you will one day quit. Some of those hate comments though are not all me though, I wanted to make you aware of that. Hopefully if I get out someday maybe we can start over?
Lauren: Y-y-y-yeah, I'd like that a lot, thanks Dani. I promise I will try and become a better role model, I love you!
Dani: I love you too! Chris, if you can hear me give Laur a cigarette, I know she's been through a lot and I know she's going to fully ditch nicotine soon, right Laur?
Lauren: Absolutely, I am going to quit right after this, I promise guys!
Christina: Okay Laur, here you go!

5 minutes later...

Lauren: Chris, I feel so much better, here's my JUUL and all the cigarettes. I'm gonna stick to the herbal cigarettes though, okay?
Christina: Alright hun, I am proud of you. Why don't you go and freshen up!
Lauren: Baby I am coming downstairs!
Lexi: Okay, can't wait to kiss those lips!
Lauren: Hey baby, did you miss me?
Lexi: Yes I did, come here my love! You smell so good and your lips taste great, I don't smell cigarettes anymore! How are you feeling so far?
Lauren: I'm doing fantastic! My lungs are not hurting and are no longer sore. I'm so ready for a smoke-free life!
Lexi: Babe I am so extremely proud of you! I love you so so much!
Lauren: I love you more!!!
Lexi: Damn, my girl is sexy
Lauren: Awww stop baby, you are too sweet!
Lexi: Babe I say whispering in her ear, you wanna go to our room and I can give you some hickeys?
Lauren: I thought you'd never ask!
Lexi: Okay babe, lay down. Can I do your neck?
Lauren: Yes please! Mmmmm I moan, baby don't stop I say letting out a long moan.
Lexi: Can I do your chest babe?
Lauren: Oooooh yes baby, make sure you find my good spot!
Lexi: Of course! How does that feel babe?
Lauren: It feels good, actually no, it feels great!
Lexi: Babe I think I hear the others, we should go downstairs.
Lauren: Okay baby!
Christina: Hey guys! I have a big announcement! We are doing a show at the Nashville Concert Hall, it's free for the public! It's happening tomorrow. The set list is as follows; Up At Night, I'm a Mess, I Know you Know it, Before Octobers Gone, I Like It, Your Worth It, Renegade. We can't do the entire set list as it can't be too long.
