Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter twenty five

Lauren's P.O.V
"We finished with the all the tests you should be able to go home now. Remember to take the medication the doctor gave you this morning everyday until you finish the prescription. You can sign out at reception" the nurse said with a smile. They were very kind and tried to help the best they could. Anyway, me and Steven made our way to the desk at reception and signed out. I felt so happy that I was going home, they had to keep me in over night. I hated it. I'm never doing that again.

"Laur. Laur. Lauren!" Steven said trying to get my attention.

"Hmm? What? Sorry I have no clue what you just said." I'm a very truthful person. Sometimes it's not that good, but he laughed.

"Well at least I know you listen. I said have you spoken to Emily yet? She's been worried sick about you" he said with a smile on his face.

"Oh yeah, I texted her earlier." I said earning a nod from him.

We walked outside with our arms linked and both of us smiling, until I saw someone glaring at me. It made me stop in place.

"Hey, you okay?" I glanced to Steve then back to where the person was standing... He was gone.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Just tired." I lied. Geez. Five minutes ago I said I was truthful.
I calmed myself down. The person looked like a man. Especially, how there figure was, but I could never see close. He was the one at comic con, and outside my apartment twice. Who is he? It was actually creepy.
Steven drove back to my place. He parked the car and we started walking through the building, when I saw him again. Down the hall.

"S-Steve..." I was shocked. I didn't know what to do.

"Laur, what's wrong?!" He sounded worried.

"He... He keeps following me!"

"Who?" He asked confused.

"Him!" I pointed. But it was too late, he had already gone.

"Lauren, you had a head trauma. Maybe you should--" I cut him off.

"No! I swear he was there! He was at the meet and greet! And outside the apartment! And the hospital! Steve you've gotta believe me here.." I begged. I didn't want him to think I was going mental. He took me into the apartment and I started pacing around, rubbing my temples to try and calm myself. It wasn't working. My eyes were filled with tears but I didn't let them fall. Steven was still trying to figure out by what I meant.
"I'm not joking. He was out there! I don't know who he is or what he wants but... It's something! Or he wouldn't be following me at all. I just don't understand!" I sighed. It was stressing me out way too much.

"Lauren. Think about it. When you saw him, you freaked out. You couldn't breath, but you saw him well. He was then printed in your mind, so when you don't concentrate hard enough your mind just makes you think that "he's" are there." He said trying to also calm me but once again it didn't work.

"Y-you think I'm mental..."

"No, Laur, I didn't say tha--"

"You didn't need to say it. It's written all over your face. You know what, if it is the head trauma, then how come I saw him before that? Huh? Any explanations? No, ok." I said keeping my cool the best I could at the frustrating moment.

"Look, everything will turn out just fine. You'll see. In a few days you'll be laughing at the way I fail at making pancakes" I chuckled. But he was right. "And you'll come over and try and fix them, and we'll both laugh even more. Anyways, Emily and Norman are coming over tomorrow, maybe they will lighten up your spirit."
I just smiled I had nothing to say to that. But I felt like he was 110% right. Even though he could be completely wrong, it didn't phase me.
"You gotta keep calm, and gave as minimum stress as possible...

...for the baby's sake."
