I Need You Now (Lauren / You)

Chapter 16

Your POV

"-any interjections? If so, please say now."

I look at Lauren to see her starring at me from the alter. Shouldn't she be looking at her fiancé and not me?

I feel other eyes on me. I guess they want me to say something? Or they're expecting me to.

I look over at Mike, it's like he's pleading me to say something. I look at Chris, who has the same look on his face. I look at Dinah, who gives me a curt nod. I blink, now looking at Shawn, who gives me an encouraging smile.

"Alright! You ma-"

"Wait!" I look at Ally, who is now standing up. "Lauren, do you really want this? Do you really want to marry Brad?"

"Uh, yeah?" She says, more like questions.

"Or, do you want to be with Y/N?" Demi stands. "Who makes you happy, safe. And more importantly, the one who has forgave you for cheating on her, the one who has been beside you."

What the hell are they doing?

Cara stands up from next to me, "I haven't known Y/N that long, but she's a great girl. Lauren, if you don't get back together with her, then you're fucking stupid. Forgive me for swearing."

I look up at Cara, who smiles at me.

"I agree," Camila stands up. "I had a crush on Y/N, in fact, I tried to be with her - but she said no. She said no because she knew that one of her best friends likes me, she said no because she knows you and I are friends, Lauren."

"Y/N is a great girl, I loved her like she was my daughter - I still do. She'll always be apart of this family. Lauren, honey, don't marry Brad. He's a douche bag. I mean, he betrayed his best friend, if that doesn't scream dickhead, then I don't know what does. Y/N will always be apart of our family." Mike states, standing up and glaring at Brad.

Lauren drops Brad's hands, starring at everyone in the room. By now, I'm the only one sitting down.

"I..you're right," Lauren mutters. "I'm sorry Brad, but I can't marry you." She takes the ring off, handing it to him. He sighs, placing the ring in his pocket.

"Whatever." He mumbles, walking out of the room.

"Y/N?"

I stand up, my hands in my pocket. I stare at Lauren. I don't what to say. Or to feel. Or what to do.

I step out into the aisle, then walking up to the alter. The room is silent as they watch Lauren and I.

I step closer, my breath on her lips. I cup her face, my thumb brushing against her cheeks. I lean in, capturing her lips.

I close my eyes, sinking into the kiss. I've miss this. The feeling, everything. I've missed her touch, her lips, the fireworks, the sparks.

I've missed her.

"That was fucking amazing." I pant, letting out a chuckle. Lauren hums in response, cuddling into me and resting her head on my chest.

"I'm tired." She mumbles, closing her eyes.

"Go to sleep, love."

----

I untangle myself from Lauren, getting up. I put on some sweatpants, then a tank top. I make my way to the kitchen, grabbing a cigarette and a lighter, then going outside to the balcony.

I sit down, lighting the cigarette.

The fact that Lauren had to realize from other people that she loves me hurt. I mean, I'm grateful and happy that's she's here now, but t still hurts.

It hurts because she chose Brad first.

But somehow, I seem to keep forgiving her.

goodnight guys.

And if y'all could do me a favor; please don't comment for me to update.

Thanks. I update as much as possible.

-Gracie.
