Riptide (a lauren jauregui love story)

Part 38

Lauren's pov
I started the twitcam. I was so happy to see when I got home that the top 2 trends on Twitter were #laurenisourprincess and #standupforlauren.
"Hey guys is this on." I got comments saying yes
"As you guys probably saw early today I got into an argument with a radio caster. I said something's and it got really bad. I want to apologize to everyone who heard it or saw it. I should not have acted the way I did. His questions didn't call for my reaction. Were they inappropriate yes but should I have yelled and said the things I did, no. I should be teaching you to carry yourselves with pride and dignity but I didn't do that. I'm sorry. I should be a role model and deal with it rationally. I didn't do that. I'm so so sorry. I have a temper and sometimes I let it get the best of me, although that's not an excuse. There is no excuse for what I said to him. You all should stand up for yourselves and be strong independent ladies but do not ever take away your own dignity to do so." I start to tear up. "Shit I'm crying now! We are supposed to treat human beings with respect and that's not what I did. I am so so sorry guys. Thank you so so much for the support but please be kind and caring and respectful of others. I want you all to stand up for yourselves no matter what but do it in a respectful manner. Don't curse at them or scream your head off. Don't get violent. Don't call them a 'fucking white male American supremacist' although he was, not the point. I didn't have to say that. I chose the wrong thing and in so so sorry for not setting the right example. I learn from my mistakes and I know what to do next time. We all learn from our mistakes. This is one of those lessons that in gonna learn. Please don't grow up to think that yelling and screaming and cursing for your cause is defending it or yourself. I'm sorry again i hope you all can forgive my irrational behavior." I wiped my face and gave a cheeky smile.
I looked at the comments and they were all like
'You don't have to apologize'
'He deserved what he got'
'I love you, you didn't deserve that'
'No apology necessary
'You're so sweet for apologizing for standing up for yourself.'
"You guys are too sweet. I love you guys so much. I have to go but I'm definitely gonna do another one of these soon." I turned it off and went to go on tumblr.
I felt a body mass next to me on the couch. Someone had their arms around my waist. I looked over at Camila.
"You know your gorgeous no matter what he said right." I shrugged.
"Lauren you are gorgeous he's an asshole."
"I'm fine." Is all I said. She sighed.
"Just open up to me." She whispers as she walks out of the room. I sigh and go to Ally's room to cuddle.

Jackson's pov
I decided to do a U stream since I've been like absent from the world for a month and a half. I got it all set up and ready to go in my living room and I decided why the hell not and I invited the girls and Justin over.
"Hey guys it's me I'm back!"
"It's Britney bitch!" Kylie says not looking up from her phone.
"Why are you so extra?"
"Why are you such a dick?" Kendall rolls her eyes at me and her sister and says the first question.
"Anyways. First question. 'Why are you such a dick?'" The girls laugh.
"Next question. Do you have a thing with Jackson?" They burst out laughing.
"Do you see how rude they are." They continue to laugh, and it's not just regular laugh they are on the ground clutching their stomachs laughing.
"Ok ok sorry. Just no! Next question what is your view on the Lauren Jauregui controversy?"
"Love her." Kylie says. "She stood up not just for herself but for women everywhere. Who gave you the fucking right to decide what girls are hot or not. She's sexy and he said she's not hot. Come on dickhead." Kendall decided to chime in next.
"He like attacked her she didn't have anywhere to go. No one came to get her. She was trapped. What choice did she have. He was bashing her and Jackson and their relationship. I mean trust me if we were dating it wouldn't be while he had a girlfriend. That's a terrible thing to do, break up a relationship. Plus breakup my OTP I think not." Kylie chimed in next going back and forth with Kendall.
"That guy he tried to make an issue out of nothing. He was picking apart her daily activities. Her ex went to lunch with some girl who looked like her. Come on you know how I know that's not her. That girl was wearing a bun in her hair and there was no tattoo on the back of her neck. Yeah guys I'm a harmonizer get over it. That girl was so short she was the same height as Brad. Plus Lauren doesn't have time for sleazy ass ex boyfriends not with all of the business stuff going on."
"They're about to release an album she doesn't have time for him. That interviewer interrogated her and she stood up for herself from the get go. First thing she said when he got too personal was oh my god I talked to him last night. You don't hear her personal conversations. You don't know anything. So what she doesn't post pictures with him that often. Get over it. Just because she chooses to keep the majority of her private life, private doesn't mean that there's issues. He made assumptions, he forced the questions down her throat, put words to otherwise meaningless pictures. Home girl represented and he got his ass handed to him, he should know not to mess with a sassy Latina. He was signing his death certificate."
"Justin how about you?"
"She stood up or herself she didn't go too far. She cursed so what those words are in the dictionary. She yelled because he was attacking her. She was feeling threatened. That apology though was so unnecessary. She did the right thing. A role model shows others what they should do, how they should act, that's what she did. She is a strong independent woman, sassy as hell but she gets her point across, she stood up for herself instead of giving to violence like me and many other people might have done. That's what matters here. How do you feel Jackson?"
"Proud. She stood up for me and herself. He's lucky I wasn't there, I would've beat his ass. She didn't resort to violence, she didn't so much as bang the table. I probably would've wrastled him into a choke hold. The fact she apologized for just speaking her mind was amazing. She didn't do anything wrong. She was right the only people who get to tell us what's going on in our relationship is us. Well not even me only she can tell us what's happening. She tends to be right. I didn't cheat on her, I would never cheat on her. Why was I hanging out with these girls. They're honestly the sweetest sisters. They're so nice and fun to hang out with. Honestly it didn't click that rumors would be created because I don't see anyone but Lauren. She's beautiful, smart, talented and I'm so proud that she stood up for herself. That guy was so out of place. I don't even want to say the things I would say to him had I been there."
"There you have it. Now next question who was your celebrity crush growing up?"
"Growing up.....Meghan Fox!"Justin and I say at the same time. We high five.
"Boys..." Kendall mumbles. "When are you gonna release new music?"
"Whenever I can get to record."
"Ok Uhm who was your first kiss?"
"Sandy who was my first kiss?" I ask because I saw her finally come out of her room.
"Uhm wasn't it that shady Ali character."
"She wasn't shady."
"She like disappeared whenever I showed up. I only saw her once."
"Her name was Ali Simpson and we dated for 2 weeks when I was 13."
"Wait like Cody Simpsons sister?"
"Uhm she had a brother named Cody so I guess."
"They're famous now."
"Woah cool!"
"Ok moving forward how much do you miss your dog when you're away."
"Like a child misses their blanket." I sing and she rolls her eyes but I grin cheekily.
"Hey guys here's an idea go outside. It's such a nice day I don't care if it's pouring rain or snowing go be active. I have to go be active right now because losing my six pack can't let that happen."
"6 pack more like 4 pack!" Kylie mumbles.
"Do you see how mean to me they are."
"Sorry."
"Ok bye!" I turn off the camera.
"Ok now let's go exercise."
