I Need You Now (Lauren / You)

Chapter 2

Your POV

"She's dead."

"W-what?" I choke on my words.

"The cancer, we thought it'd progress slowly and we could stop it. And with the Alzheimer's, it just made it worst, I'm sorry." Doctor Grey explains. (Haha Greys Anatomy)

I look down at my hands, my throat dry. I feel the color from my cheeks drain, leaving me pale and frozen.

----

I don't cry, I don't sob, I don't shout or yell. I don't do anything as I watch the coffin being lowered into the ground.

I feel pats on my back from fellow friends and family. I kick the rest of the dirt in, then placing black roses on the dirt.

I look up, my eyes landing on the family who I thought would never be here.

"Mrs. and Mr. Jauregui. " I nod at them, then looking at Lauren, Chris and Taylor. I let my eyes avert down to the grave.

"It's Mike, Y/N, you know this." Mike sighs out, knowing what had happened between Lauren and I.

"Yeah, that changed along time ago." I say, not looking at them. Mike chooses not to respond, nor does anyone else.

"Is this where you went?" Lauren breaks the silence. "When you were out all the time?"

I choose not to respond, putting my hands in my pocket.

"Is it?"

I sigh, wetting my lips, "Yes." I look up to see only Lauren and I, and not her family

"So I..I c-cheated on you..w-when y-"

"It's fine, Lauren." I cut her off. "It is what it is."

Lauren's POV

I watch her walk away in the black suit. I sigh, feeling tears swell in my eyes. I cheated on her when I thought she was doing the same. I broke up with her for nothing. I shouldn't of jumped to conclusions.

Even though she came home drunk with whiskey on her breath, she didn't cheat. She didn't go out with some other girl. She got drunk because she was in pain.

And then her best friend, my boyfriend, Brad betrayed her. God, I ruined their friendship and my relationship.

I feel guilty. No, I am guilty. I caused this. I caused her heartbreak.
