Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter forty five

Lauren's P.O.V

As soon as we got back to the hotel, leaving everybody puzzled about our sudden exit, Steven got out mine and his bag.

"What are you doing?" I asked, distressed by this whole situation.

"What does it look like? I'm packing because we are going to see your mom." He said quite sternly only to earn a confused but annoyed look from me.

"Well to them, there is no us. We, as a thing, don't exist! I never told them because there was no need. I don't want to go." I obliged.

"We are going." He said putting clothes in the bags.

"No." I replied once again, taking them out.

"Yes."

"No." I replied, more sternly.

"Yes we are!"

"No we ain't!" I shouted back louder than I previously did.

"Laur come on! It's your mom! And your sisters! You gotta see them!" He fought back, as he threw my clothes back into my bag, which I pulled out once again.

"Enough. I'm not going. That's that!" I tried to end it, I stepped away and folded my arms earning a sigh from Steven.

"Lauren..." He said with a much softer tone. "You've got to see your family. You may not see it now but this will do you good"

"Good? Good?! How will this do me good! If anything it'll give me a heart attack!" I snapped, not caring much as he mumbled an annoyed "or maybe not." which I ignored.

"Well I'll go with you" He said, trying to solve the solution to only make it worse.

"Steve. She doesn't know about you! She doesn't even know about the baby! Or Jay.." I replied starting loud but getting quieter.

"Hey. No. Do not bring him into this, especially after we've had a good week. I'm sick and tired of hearing his name and I'm sure you are too. So we're going to see your parents. And we're gonna tell them everything." He finished.

"If we go, she's gonna ask about him. She'll want to know what happened, why we broke up, when did it happen. Endless questions I'd rather not answer." I replied to only earn a sigh from him.

"What about Christmas?" He said randomly.

"Huh?" I replied since Christmas is like 5 months away.

"I know she sends you Christmas cards. You keep them all on the coffee table. And there is always one from your mum that stays in the envelope. But, just as a recap, who was it to?" He said getting cocky.

"You know who..." I mumbled looking down, knowing he had a point.

"Exactly, so it'll be a constant reminder. And when you don't go she'll send letters, emails the whole lot and I bet a lot of the time he'll be mentioned. So we've got to go. Get all this over with and end it." He finished once again.
I just nodded and started to pack my things, clearing up all the clothes that were flung around after our bicker.

We didn't fight much. Hell. We didn't really fight at all. But even with my stubbornness, he can win me over.

We were almost packed. Steven was getting the last of the toiletries from the bathroom like shampoo and toothbrushes. I was sat on the bed, next to the heavy suitcases, shaking nervously.

First, it was a seventeen hour flight, one of the longest I've been on yet. Sure I've been to England from America but that was usually from LAX (Los Angeles airport) which is only seven hours, but seventeen? That's ten. More. Hours.
And second, I haven't seen my mum in three to four years.

That's why I'm a nervous wreck. I can't and don't deal with stress very well. Since I was getting lost in my own scary mind, I didn't hear Steven mumble something, meaning he walked out of the bathroom and looked over to me.

"Laur?" I heard him say as he sat beside me on the bed making me look up. "You okay?" He asked, rubbing my back.

I simply nodded, not know if I could trust my voice. My voice gets shaky and croaky when I'm nervous or worried about something, which then leads to Steve knowing somethings troubling me. He kissed my head sweetly and looked into my pale green eyes.

"I've booked the flight for seven. Which is like, 4 hours from now so we've got time." He said, making me sigh and tap the heel of my foot on the floor. "If your nervous, don't be. It's gonna be fine. The time will go by quickly and before you know it we'll be in England."

"I know... But that's what I'm nervous about. Being back in England, with my family." I said sighing once more.

"Hey... I mean it. It will be okay." He said, putting emphasis on the word "will" as he hugs me tight which I return.

"I don't want to go"
