Previously on True Love:
Lauren auditioned for a show, and made it, however she has to kiss Riker in it. Lauren is also going to meet her dad.

"What are you thinking?" Mom said smiling.

"I don't want to meet him." I growled. She frowned.

"Lauren... he's your father!" She sighed.

"That tried to kill me! Never!" She got a big scowl on her face.

"Lauren get in the car."

"No!"

"Be mature! You can handle this!" I did NOT want to meet him. I felt like crying getting into the car.

JAIL

"He is ready to see you now." A police officer nodded and walked us through a short hall to where a white room with that special glass was. They opened the door. 2 police officers were guarding the inside. I saw sitting in a chair with an orange jumpsuit on, a man that had long brown hair, and a huge beard.

"Jim!" My mom smiled and try to run to him to kiss him. The guards stopped her.

"Miss, he isn't allowed to make contact with any previous family members. Who knows what he'd do." The tallest one said. I stared at my dad.

"Lauren sit down." He frowned. I blew up.

"Um no! Just so you can try to kill me again? Why? What did I ever do to you for you to kill me?" Mom sighed and walked forwards.

"Lauren apologize to your father! He tried to be great!"

"Great at killing people!" I sat down on a stool in the corner. I watched my mom melt for him. After all he's done why does she still love him? After all Ross's done, do I still love him. Why am I thinking about this. Eventually our half an hour was up. My mom was crying as we walked to the car. She was mumbling things I couldn't hear.

After a tense car ride I got in my car and went to work. When I got there Riker was in the studio with Jenn. He smiled when I walked in.

"Hey, is Aubrey here yet?" I asked.

"Not yet. You're early though." Jenn sighed as she stretched on a ballet bar.

"Oh... I'm sorry. Should I wait in the lobby?"

"No no no! It would help for you to start learning the dances since this is your first main role. Aubrey could help you as well, but she's not here right now." Riker looked at the clock. "Jenn, can you get Karen?"

"Yeah I can." She said as she walked out. Riker ran over, shut the door than ran back to me.

"I need to tell you something." He whispered. I sighed.

"Fine."

"Ross isn't... I don't know, functioning the way he used to?"

"Oh, my, God."

"Seriously! He's gone home drunk at least 15 times in the last 30 days... and he always comes back with a different girl. Even the slutty six have been grinded on."

"That isn't my problem!" I whisper yelled. "You know I have my issues too! Just leave me alone! I need to fulfill this role! Maybe, just maybe, it's not my fault he's a FRICKING ALCOHOLIC!" Then Jenn walked in.

"Hey, is everything good?" Karen asked as Riker backed up.

"Oh it's marvelous! We were just talking about the characters right?"
Riker smiled.

"Yeah." I nodded and began stretching. Jenn sat next to me.

"I'm sorry about Riker." She said as she patted me on the back.

"He's not always the most... negotiative person. Stubborn."

"Oh I KNOW!" I regret the words as her mouth flies open.

"What?" She exclaimed.

"No it's just that like... I know, for the short time I've known him."

"You are a lying SLUT. I thought you would come clean.

"What?" My turn.

"You went on stage with him! Don't act so blind!" She stood up and without another word, walks away.

I finally saw Aubrey walk in and she walked to her spot. Karen taught us the dances as Aubrey clearly was outdoing herself.

Sweat dripped down her red hot face. She was going very slowly because of fatigue. I knew when learning something, don't start off full steam. Just work your way into it.

Now it was script practice. Here was the script:

SCENE 1:

Aubrey-Charissa
Riker-Mikey
Lauren-Lela

Mikey: Charissa I don't want you in my life, or in my house. Get out.
Charissa: FINE MIKEY! (runs out)
Lela: Mikey, I guess you want leave to leave too...
Mikey: No! I... I love you.
Lela: Kiss me.

Our LIPS TOUCHED. It was more gross than I thought it would be. I thought maybe it would feel like how it felt when Ross used to kiss me. But nope. It. Was. Disgusting.

How Jenn does it I have no clue. Help me please. When I pulled back quickly Riker looked embarrassed. He raised his eyebrows and walked to the other side of the room with Jenn. I sat down on the floor.

"Riker I can't do this. I just, I can't." I said as I grabbed my stuff.

You're so immature Lauren! I thought as I started to walk out. Riker followed me out.

"Lauren stop by at 9:00 please. You have to sign papers saying you quit."

"Fine. Bye."

Ross' POV:
------

"Let me show you how the real you is like?" Rocky asked as we wrote F.E.E.L.G.O.O.D together in the basement. Riker wasn't here so Rocky took his spot. I looked at the ceiling and strummed my guitar.

"Yeah I like it." I said back. Right then Ellington and Ryland ran downstairs.

"Dude Lauren is here!" Ellington laughed. I put my hands on my face.

"I don't care I'm busy." I said as Rocky threw out another lyric strip.

"Just come here! She's about to leave." I took a deep breath, then walked upstairs.
