Remember When...

Chapter 10

"Well, a couple nights after our date..."

*Start of flash back...again*

The next day Lauren had band rehearsal, but we texted all day. Have I mentioned how cute she is? Man, I love her! Anyway, before I knew it it was 10pm and I had done nothing all day. I thought I should text Lauren goodnight so we could get some sleep.

C-Hey, I'm gonna go to sleep
L-Okay. We'll hang out tomorrow right?
C-Is that even a question?
L-True. Haha. I love you
C-I love you too. Good night
L-Good night
C-Dream of me
L-Maybe
C-Wow
L-Just kidding! I love you
C-I love you more
L-I love you most
C-Impossible
L-I'm possible
C-Whatever!
L-Lol
C-Okay seriously this time. Goodnight Laur
L-Good night Chels

I put my phone on charge and started drifting off to sleep. After sleeping for about five minutes, something was put over my eyes and mouth. I tried screaming but it was hard with whatever this thing is that's covering my mouth. After what seemed like forever of getting dragged around by what I heard, maybe three people. I was slammed onto the ground. The blind fold on my eyes was taken off and I saw Mr. Cimorelli, Mike Jr, and Christina.
"We didn't want to do this Chelsea but we need you to break up with Lauren." Christina said
I tried talking but this handkerchief was still covering my mouth. Mike Jr took it off allowing my to talk.
"Why?!" I said immediately
"We never really accepted you both. We thought Lauren would get over it this by now. Also, it's bringing down our family name." Mr. Cimorelli explained
"But Lauren and I love each other!"
"I can't have you being around my daughter. You will break op up with her tomorrow. Do you understand?" Mr. Cimorelli asked
"No! I won't do it! I love Lauren with all my heart! I won't just give up on her!"
"I don't care! You will break her heart and you won't tell her that we told you to." Mike Jr said"
"No!"
Suddenly all three of them started beating me up until I bled.
"Break up with her!" Christina said kicking me in the head.
"No I won't! I love her more than anything!" I said my vision blurry from crying.
"Do it. Or I'll pull this trigger." Mr. Cimorelli said pulling out a gun and pointing it at me.
"Fine! Fine. I'll do it. I'll break up with Lauren." I said with pain through out my voice.
"Good. Do it tomrrow." Mr. Cimorelli told me.
"Just to make it worse. Find someone else soon."
"But-"
"Do it!" He said punching me again.
"Fine." I said. Tomorrow is gonna be rough.

*the next day*

"Let's meet up at Starbucks! I want drinks!" Lauren said cheerfully through the phone.
"Okay." I said painfully. I didn't want to leave my house because I don't want to break up with Lauren.
"Are you okay?" Lauren asked
"Yea. I'm fine."
"Okay you just don't sound it."
"I'm fine, Lauren."
"Okay. See you there then!"
"Okay."
"I love you!"
"I love you too." I immediately hung up the phone because I felt tears in my eyes. I don't wanna do this but if I don't Mr. Cimorelli, Mike, and Christina might beat me up again and threaten me. Or even kill me.

Once I got to Starbucks I saw Lauren sitting at a table drinking her drink. I felt sick to my stomach so I didn't get anything.
"Hey." I said sitting down
"Hey!"
I need to get this over with. I got up from my chair and have Lauren a huge hug.
"What's this for? Not that I don't like it! Haha!" Lauren asked
"I just needed one last hug." I whispered
"What do you mean?"
"I'm breaking up with you Lauren."
"What! Why?" Lauren said
"I just don't feel anything anymore." I lied
"No please. Chelsea no! I love you!"
"I'm sorry." I gave her one last hug. Enjoying her scent and presents. I'm gonna miss this.
"Goodbye Lauren." I started walking away. Walking turned into running. I ran to the beach where no one else was and just cried. I didn't know what else to do. The pain I'm feeling is the worst pain I've ever felt and it won't go away. It won't stop hurting. After a while I went back home and went straight to bed. I cried myself to sleep. It killed me knowing I just Lauren. I suddenly remembered that Mr. Cimorelli told me to find someone new immediately. I didn't want to but I had to. Just as that thought came across my mind Charlotte walked in.
"Hey Charlotte."
"Hey Chelsea."
"Do you still like me?"
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Well, um, yea of course I do."
"Wanna of on a date tomorrow?"
"But you're dating Lauren."
"We broke up."
"Awe I'm sorry." She said with a slight smile.
"Yea. So wanna?"
"Yea of course!"
"Awesome! Can't wait!"
"Neither can I!"
"Good night." I said
"Night!"
I turned out the lights and went to sleep. I had a huge empty feeling in my chest and I don't think it'll go away so easy.

*Lauren's POV*

I ran home crying. Chelsea just broke up with me out of the blue. I don't know what to do with myself right now. I ran up to my room closing the door. I fell onto my bed crying like I've never cried before.
"Lauren?" I heard Lisa
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing okay. Girls problems."
"Come on! Please tell me!"
I gave in after thinking about it for a while.
"Chelsea broke up with me."
"Oh Lauren I'm so sorry!"
"It's not your fault you don't have to apologize."
"I'll be right back." Lisa said before storming out of our room.
I sat on my bed and cried into my pillow. But it wasn't tears that came out of my eyes. It was pain.

*Chelsea's POV*

"Chelsea!" I heard Lisa from outside my bedroom door
"Crap!" I said under my breath
"What the hell?! Why did you break up with Lauren so suddenly?!" I'm suddenly thankful that our bathroom in the girls room is broken and Charlotte had to go to the other one. Because now she can't hear this conversation. If she heard it she'll know that I'm playing with her feelings. It makes me feel horrible but I have to do it.
"Because your dad, Mike, and Christina kidnapped me and beat me up until I said I'd break up with her! Your dad even pointed a gun at me!"
"They would never!"
"They said they didn't actually accept us! You have to believe me please." I said with pain in my eyes. You could tell I'd been crying.
"I see it in your eyes. I believe you."
"Thank you Lisa."
"I'll figure out what's wrong with them. Proud and Lauren are perfect for each other. They need to see that."
"Thanks Lise. How's Lauren doing?"
"She's been crying. For the past hour."
"My baby! No!"
"Why don't you tell her that you were out up to it?"
"Because they said if I told her they'd do worse than beat me up. They also said I had to get with some one straight away or they'd make it worse."
"Oh. I won't tell her then."
"Thanks."
"Okay I'm gonna let you be. Sorry that this is happening. I'll figure out why they hate your relationship with Lauren."
"Okay. Keep me updated!" I said before Lisa left.
I turned the light outs when Charlotte came back from the bathroom half asleep. Then I went to sleep.
