Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter eleven

Steven's P.O.V
Lauren was in the kitchen turning the kettle on and waiting for it to boil. I walked up to her and hugged her from behind, resting my head on her shoulder.

"Heya" she said in a happy tone.

"Hey" I kissed her cheek which made her smile.

"You know Emily and Norman invented us to the movies?" She said as she tapped her fingers on the counter.

"First I've heard of it, when did they ask you?" I asked.

"Well, she only texted me about 20 minutes ago so..."

"Ok cool, lets go" as I said that a frown appeared on her face "Lauren? What's up?"

"Its just that they want to see this horror film, and I mean it looks good but even the trailer scared me"
If you can't tell already, Lauren's a scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies. Even with 'the Boy', she still doesn't like them. She just doesn't like being scared, that's all.

"Well we don't have to go if yo--"

"No! I wanna go, I'll be fine I'm just being silly" she forcefully laughed
She fake laughed... She fake laughed!! I don't want her to go if she doesn't want to watch this film but unfortunately she's the most stubborn person you'll ever meet. If she doesn't want to do something and she has a choice, she won't do it. But right now I can tell she's trying not to say anything.

"So, what movie is it?"

"The darkness..."

"Oh I've seen the trailer for that it actually looks pretty go--" I stopped myself as I looked over to her with one eyebrow raised and her arms were folded. "Bad, pretty bad, it looks awful." Oops. Ok, yeah I want to see the film, it looks really good, but Lauren comes first. Always.

~~A few hours later, arriving to the movies~~

I had my arm around the side of Lauren's waist as she was playing with her fingers, I could tell she didn't want to see the this film and that she was nervous about it.

"Lauren?"

"Hmm?"

"We don't have to see this film, we can--"As soon as I'm about to tell her we could go back home, Emily comes running up screaming.

"LAUREN!!"

"Hey, ready for the movie?" As she said those words, I looked at her. She looked back and just continued. She's an amazing actor, but I know when she's pretending, like she currently is.

Lauren's P.O.V
We sat in the screening room. We sat in the order of, Norman, Emily, me then Steven. I didn't want to sit on the end, I hate it. As lights started to dim and the last advert finished, I felt Stevens arm wrap around my shoulder as I grunt.

"Oh no..."

"Hey, it's gonna be ok. It's only fake" He whispers as the movie starts. I felt sick.

It was about half way through and I had my head on Steven's chest with my eyes closed. He was rubbing back up and down, which didn't do much. I looked up for a second to see if it was over, like I had been for the last ten minutes. But this one was the worse, I turn around and see the main character with her back hair and blood everywhere. I let out a little whimper as I turn my head back down quickly on to Steven's chest. I hated this I wanted to leave, and I think Steve saw that.

"Hey, you ok? Shall we go?"

"No, it's fine..." I actually wanted to scream out yes please! But I couldn't do that to him, he wanted to see it so I'm doing it for him. For some reason, he stud up but slightly crouched and walked over to Norman and whispered something. I couldn't make it out but I saw Norman looking over to me, I knew what he was doing. He quickly walked back to our seats.

"Get your stuff"

"What? Why?"

" 'cause we're leaving"
I grabbed his hand while I got my phone and coat, before we walked out of the movie. As soon as we got outside, I adjusted to the light and let out a sigh of relief. We walked to the car in silence, like I didn't have a voice. Even though I had a million things to say, I couldn't put them into words. I sat down in the passenger seat while Steve sat at the drivers.

"Why did we leave? I thought you liked it?"

"Nah, it was too much for me, I couldn't keep up with the story and that." He lied.
I just looked at him, waiting for him to tell the truth but when he didn't, I crossed my arms and looked down the road as he started to drive.
"Ok, yes fine, I liked the movie but I like you more so I'd rather see you happy then a stupid movie that I can watch whenever." I just smiled at his answer. That's all I could do, just smile. We pulled up in Steven's drive way.
"You know, you're such a scaredy cat."  He laughed which made me laugh.

"Yeah I know, you gotta deal with it" I said as he smiled at me then kissed me.
God, I really love him, even when he leaves the toilet seat up, I still can't hate him.
