My Best Friend (Lauren Jauregui / Fifth Harmony Fanfic)

Chapter 13

"Come on Emily," I heard someone softly say. "Lauren has to get up."

I groaned and shook my head, pulling my arm away from I think is my mother and slid it under Lauren's other side and pulled her close.

I heard a soft chuckle and knew it was Lauren because I felt her chest move up and down.

I buried my face in her chest, listening to her heartbeat before she lifted one of her hands off my back and to my head to run through my hair.

"Five more years please," I said switching the minutes with years.

I heard multiple chuckles this time and groaned again. I did not want her to leave.

"If you get up, I'll do your hair and makeup before I leave," she offered.

I sighed and slowly looked up at her to have her chuckle once more. "Please don't go."

"I have to baby girl," Lauren said. "I have to work, but you'll be with me in a few weeks."

I sighed but squeezed her once more. "Do I have to?"

She looked at me. "Go on tour with me?"

I shook my head. "No, get up."

"Oh," she giggled. "Yeah and you have school anyway so you have to get up."

I groaned for the third time this morning but got up.

"Not so fast," Lauren said before flipping us over so she was on top of me.

"No Lauren please don't! I have to pee." I whimpered before she laid her hands on my sides.

"But my baby sister is sad and I need to make her happy." She smirked and before I knew it, I erupted into giggles.

"Okay! Okay! Lauren please stop!" I pleaded after a few minutes. She let up and got off of me, allowing me to run to the bathroom, my urge to pee even worse now.

After I used the restroom, I quickly washed my hands and stepped out of the bathroom.

"Go ahead and get dressed in whatever you want, I have to go talk to mom and get ready real quick," Lauren said before stepping out of my room, shutting the door on her way out.

I let out a breath and looked through my closet for a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

I quickly jumped in the shower to wash my hair and body and within ten minutes, I was out.

I dried myself and got dressed, sliding on a pair of vans and walking downstairs.

I made myself some cereal and drank a glass of water before brushing my teeth.

"Are you ready?" Lauren asked smiling, holding a hairbrush.

I nodded and sat in the chair she patted for me.

She curled my hair and put lipstick and eye liner on before embracing me in a hug.

"Do you want me to bring your guitar with me to put on the bus instead of sending it from Cali, or do you want me to send it to you instead?"

"Um, just take it with you. Are you ping to fly back and get me, or am I flying down there?"

"Actually Dinah is going to fly out and get you because I still have things to do. I'll be the busiest out of all of us so I'm giving you a heads up now: when you get on the bus, I'll probably sleep the whole day."

I nodded. "That's perfectly fine. I'll have the other girls as well as Jacob, Mahogany, and Jasmine."

She smiled. "That's good. And don't worry, the three of them are so sweet, especially Jacob and Mahogany."

She opened her arms and I stepped in them.

When she pulled away, I noticed she was only wearing sweatpants and a tank top with a small jacket.

"Oh, and I got you something by the way," she said smiling. She walked over to her suitcase and pulled out what looked like a CD.

She walked back over to me and handed me the small item. I looked at it and my face immediately lit up

"You got me the Reflection album?" I squealed.

"Mhm," she hummed. "There's also some personal notes in there from the girls and I," she admitted.

I jumped into her arms for what seemed like the millionth time today.

"Thank you," I said as I stepped away. "But won't Chris and Taylor be jealous?"

Lauren just laughed. "I brought them one too as well as mom an dad."

"Thanks LoLo," I jumped in her arms, my eyes beginning to water.

A knock on my door brought us out of our moment.

"Come in," Lauren said after she wiped her tears after my own.

"Hey," Camila said walking in. "Big Rob is outside waiting."

Lauren nodded her head and hugged me once more. "I'm gonna go say goodbye to everybody," Lauren said and left the room.

I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand and say on the bed.

"So, you excited for tour?" Camila asked me.

I nodded me head. "Yeah. I can't wait to meet Jasmine, Jacob and Mahogany."

"Yeah me too," Camila nodded.

I waited a few moments before asking, "Do you wanna go downstairs?"

She nodded and we stood up and walked downstairs where we saw a crying family.

"I love you guys so much," Lauren sniffled as she hugged our parents and siblings.

"We love you too mija," my dad said and kissed Lauren on the head.

She gave them once more hug before giving me a hug. "I'll see you in a couple weeks okay?" She pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "I love you."

I held our gaze for a minute before I grabbed her leather jacket and quickly pulled her into my embrace, her arms automatically wrapped around my small body.

"I love you too sissy," I mumbled and took in her smell before letting her go all too quickly.

"Have fun the next seventeen days." I nodded my head as she leant down to my ear. "If anybody bullies you, call me okay? Don't hesitate. If I don't answer, call Camila or one of the other girls."

She squeezed me tight before finally letting me go. "Have fun Lauren," I said before watching her pick up her suitcase.

"Remember, Normani is going to fly out and get you because I'll be busy with recording."

"what happened to DJ?" I asked.

"she won't be able to do it either, plus Mani said that she wants to pick you up so you guys can spent some lost time together or something."

I nodded and we all got into one last group hug before watching Lauren walk out the door and put her suitcase in the trunk.

She grabbed ahold of the door handle and looked back to wave and flash a beautiful smile before opening the car door and getting in, allowing Big Rob to drive the to the airport.

I sighed as my mother shut the door before heading upstairs to get my book bag, dreading the long school day that always comes after Lauren leaves.
