Someone's Hero (Lauren/You/Camila)

Chapter 2

Your POV

As I look up I am met with a stunning pair o f emerald eyes. Wow, I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life. Looking at them was like gazing into my own personal galaxy, with swirls of green, blue, and grey. With a just a splash of gold.

I realized I was staring, so I closed my eyes and shook my head. Reaching out my hand I said, "Hi, my name is Y/N."

"I'm Lauren." She replied with a hint of a smirk on her lips. She reached for my hand. I helped her to her feet and she looked me up and down. "You must be the girl who saved my dad from that mugger."

All I could do was nod yes.

"You out must be pretty strong then, huh?" She extended her arm to reach for my bicep. She then gave it a firm squeeze.

"Umm...y-yeah...I g-guess so." I stuttered out. Well gee there goes my tough girl exterior.

She giggled. God that was adorable. I wish I could record that and have that sound on repeat. That's not creepy at all. Gosh dang it I'm doing it again, I'm staring. She probably thinks I'm some kind of wierdo. The sound of someone clearing their throat brings me back to reality.

We both turned to the door frame to see who it was. It was a tall slender boy with short dark hair. His features resembled Laurens almost to a t. This must be her brother.

He extended an almost eager hand tward me and said, "I see you have met Lauren. I am her brother Chris. I hope she's not bothering you." His lips curved upward into a crooked smile.

Lauren rolled her eyes. "We were doing just fine until you came over here."

I shook his hand. "I'm Y/N by the way." I returned a toothless smile. I couldn't help but think to my self, 'Damn this family has some good genes.' I was brought out of my thoughts by Clara's voice."Dinner is ready, go wash up."

"I'll show you where the bathroom is." I hear as I am being pulled by my hand. Her hand is so soft and it fits perfectly in mine.

Along the way I looked at all the photos, which aline the hallway. I couldn't help but notice the smiles that appeared on all their faces. They were all genuine. It was nice to see a family that showed love for each other. Oh how I wish I had that growing up. Then maybe things would be different. I know my mom loved me, I just wish I could say the same for my father. After my mom passed everything at home, if I could call it that, changed for the worst.

*Flashback*

A few days after the funeral.

I just got home from school. My father calls me into his office.

"Y/N. Come here I need to seek with you." His voice rang through the house.

I rolled my eyes, 'what could he possibly want this time?' I asked myself as I slowly a proceed his office. I enter to see him completely focused on his computer screen. "Yes sir, you called for me."

"Have a seat, there are a couple things I would like to discuss with you." He looks up from his computer now looking me in the eyes. The look in them is cold, and emotionless.

I nod my head and take a seat. Now sitting across from him he continues, "First matter of business upon turning 18 you will be considered an adult. Thus meaning, I will be expecting you to move out and be on your own. I will no longer be responsible for you. Second on that day you will receive access to the money your mother has been putting aside for you since she found out she was pregnant. Now with that being said this concludes our meeting."

All I could do was nod my head as I rose from the chair. Still trying to process everything he just said as I exited the room. Everything just hit me like a ton of bricks at least I had some time to figure something things out. Hopefully 2 years will be enough time to get it together.
*End of flashback*

We enter her bathroom, it's pale green in color with pale blue accessories. It gave me a calming and serine fewling. I turned on the water and began to wash my hands. I looked up in the mirror and saw her staring at me.'At least I'm not the only one who stares.'

Her tounge traces her bottom lip, then she bites it. 'God she's so hot.' What I would do to kiss those lips.

"Like what you see?" I say as a devilish smirk makes its way onto my lips.

She blinks rapidly a few times, "huh...what? No-no I umm...I was just..." She stutters out be for I cut her off.

"It's okay. I don't blame you, who could resist looking at this." I say while Turing around from drying my hands, with that smirk still plastered on my face.

She rolls her eyes and leaves me standing there.

I make my way to the dinner table. The only seat remaining is the one right across from Lauren. I took it gladly.

The conversation and dinner were great. I would steal a few glances at the green eyed goddess every now and then throughout the meal.

"Do you play any sports?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, actually I play lacrosse. I was the captain of my high school team for 3 seasons. I was offered a full ride to Miami U. So I will be attending the in the fall."

"I guess I will be seeing you around campus then." I turn my head to look at Lauren, and she has an unreadable expression on her face. But her eyes, they say something different. I'm just not sure what it is but I know it has to be a good thing. If you know what I mean.

"Yeah, I guess you will." I replied with a toothless smile and a wink.

Her checks flushed pink. Awe, she's blushing and it is so aborable. She then bows her head down a bit hiding the small blush from sight.

I turn back to Chris and we talk a bit more about sports until everyone finishes their meals.

Mike approaches me, "Alright kiddo, you ready to go?"

"Yeah, sure." I grab my backpack and sling it over my shoulder and we head out to his car. I open the door and hop in.

"Where do you live?" He asked as he started the engine and gives it a rev.

I took a moment to think before I answered. "I don't know. I was on my way to find a hotel to stay at for the night when I came across you and that guy. So I don't know where I am staying tonight." A small tear excaped as I hung my head I defeat. Only now feeling the severity of my situation. Just then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Mike looking at me with warm comforting eyes.

"Don't worry about it, you can stay here with us. It's the least I can do." He flashes a smile and cuts off the engine. "Come on, let's go inside."

I followed him as he went up the stairs. He turned to the left and stopped at the second door. He opens it and walks in. "This will be your room during your stay." He walks over to a door and opens it. He turns on the light. "This is your bathroom, the closet in here has plenty of towels and other toiletries you may need."

He then shuts off the light and walks over to exit the room. Before teeing he says, "If you need anything Lauren is next door, I'm sure she will be happy to help you." And with that he left and closed the door behind him.

I can't believe it I am going to be living under the same roof as HER. Lord, please help me.
