Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter three

Steven's P.O.V
We were joking around for about half an hour and Lauren made me forget everything. We simply kept our minds on the good things and kept laughing about what happened on set.

"Seriously though, I needed to pretend to be asleep and all I can here is 'when you were pouring the bisquick, were you trying to make pancakes?' How many times did we have to do that scene?" Lauren laughed then took a sip of her coffee.

"I'm sure it was close to 12, 13 times" We were both smiling and I was loving it until she asked a question that I dreaded to answer...

"Steve, what happened with you and Molly earlier? I know it's none of my business but--" Before she could finish I interrupted her. I didn't feel comfortable talking about my personal life out in the open.

"Let's go back to mine and we can talk it out there, ok?" I felt like that would be better. Even though Molly was at my apartment I knew that she would leave quick since she really hates Lauren. Lauren nodded as we walked outside to my car.

As we got to my apartment I was dreading talking about it, or anything to do with 'her'. I walked up to the door, unlocked it and walked in with Lauren next to me, to only see the most horrible thing I've seen.

Lauren's P.O.V
As me and Steven were walking in he suddenly stopped.

"Steve, what's wrong?" I asked all confused, until I looked where he was looking.
"Oh my god..." I slightly whispered as we saw Molly with her hands all over another man. I thought to myself "Geez its like they're eating each other's faces!" Not the best thing to think, but hey brains are weird. I looked over to Steven who had tears down his face as I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Get out..." He just stared at her and had no emotion in his voice "Get out!!" Suddenly, anger went through his tone as they both started to walk out the door. Then Molly decided to turn back to talk to him but, OOPS I was there to talk instead.

"Look Steven, I'm so sor--" nope not today. No talking from her.

"Look Honey, he doesn't want to hear your pathetic whining. If you're aware, he's not in the mood, so scurry now. Go on" I said in my 'nice bitchy' tone. As she walked out and closed the door I hear and see Steven brake down right in front of me. He had his head in his hands and tears were falling to the floor. With no hesitation, I hugged him tight, which made him move his arms and hug me back as his tears soaked my shoulder.
And then what does my brain do? Think it would be best if I tried to make him laugh...

"Hey it's ok. If you think about it, this is good" someone stop me. Please. This could get out of hand.

"How?" He mumbled on my shoulder.

"You have a reason to drink alcohol and get totally smashed!" This could go one of two ways: 1) he's gonna laugh and love it. Or 2) he's gonna tell me to leave.
Well I've said it now.

"Yeah, I guess so" he said while he chuckled. Yes! He laughed at it! Phew.

"Come on then." I was ready for a bit of a drink so I think Steven would be too.

"What?" He was all confused. Cute. I don't think he's much of a drinker, to be fair.

"Let's drink!" I shouted, it must have been like 5-6pm? And we were gonna get so drunk.

Steven's P.O.V
Smiling. That's all I could do. She was trying to make me laugh and feel better about everything and all I could do was smile and laugh. All her silly, stupid jokes. The way she's trying to make me feel loved when I feel like no one does. She's amazing. Any other friend would say 'I'll give you your space then' which didn't help anything but Lauren... Lauren was something else. And to be honest, I don't know how I feel about her. Not like if I hate her or not, actually the total opposite...
I think I'm falling for her.
