Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter four

*After a few hours of drinking*

Lauren's P.O.V
"Ok, my turn. Umm, I've never been to Michigan." We must have been playing never have I ever for like an hour at least.

"Wait really? I'll change that" he laughed. I laughed at his comment and put the alcohol down followed by Steve, who did the same.

"You know... I was thinking about Jay the other day..." After those words left my mouth he had a dead serious face on.

"Why bring that up?..." He asked frustratedly, obviously not liking the topic.

I shrugged "I want to talk about it" It might sound weird to bring up the past but I wanted to. I like to talk things through, if anything, it makes it better.

"No, it happened! And we need to move on!" He snapped at me. And I wasn't gonna stand for it. Drinking adds to my self of steam. Meaning when I'm drunk, I will say anything and everything.

"What, like you're doing with Molly?!" I'm saying this now, I'm a bitch when I'm drunk.

"Don't use that like its the same!" He was still snapping at me, getting more angrier as I spoke.

"Well it is!" In my eyes, it was the same. We were both trying to forget the horrible past events.

"No it ain't! He did worse to you!" With those words I lost it. Like I've said previously, I've got low patience. But, it's even lower when I'm drunk.

"You know you could have prevented this! You could have broke up with her weeks ago but you didn't! You said you didn't want to hurt her feelings, well news flash, she doesn't have any feelings--" just as I was ranting I was suddenly greeted with a kiss from Steven. At first, I didn't know what to feel, but in the heat of the moment, I kissed him back then pulled away.

Stevens P.O.V
I didn't know what I was doing. I felt like it was the best thing to do. But as my lips collided with hers, I felt butterflies swoop around me, I never wanted it to end. Then she pulled away. She just looked into my eyes, shocked. I could tell she was trying to take it all in.

"Laur, I'm so--" before I could finish, she kissed me back. Did she feel the same?
Then I remembered, on the night that I helped Lauren when she was hurt we talked about something that I thought was just in the moment...
~flashback~
I held Lauren in my arms as tears fell down her face. I tucked her hair behind her ear as she sobbed.

"I'm so sorry Laur! I wish I had come sooner!"

"No it's ok you're here now" she whispered.

"I hate seeing you like this, it brakes my heart! I love you Lauren." Shit! Did I really just tell her that?! I can't even keep my own secrets. But, in that sentence she could take it as just friends.
"I love you too" with those words, she fell asleep.
I talked to her the day after but she said she remembered nothing and I was so upset about it. I wanted there to be an us.
~End of flashback~
I stared into her pale green eyes as she stared back.

"Look Lauren, I really like you..." As soon as I was ready to confess, she suddenly she changed the subject.

"Oh look! Is that the time? I better go. I'll talk to you tomorrow, see ya!" And with that she was out the door. Soon after I was finished hating myself for telling her, I fell asleep.

Lauren's P.O.V
What the hell just happened? Did Steve really kiss me? And did I kiss him back? I must be mad, right? Maybe, he was too drunk to know what he was doing. I'll wait till tomorrow when... Oh, we have a Glenn and Maggie scene to film tomorrow. That's gonna be "fun"...
