Teach Me To Love Again

A/n: the story will always be in Lauren's pov until I change it in the story.. If that made any sense😅 long ass chapter ahead literally 3083 words. But this chapter mainly focuses on Normani

I was coloring with King in his DC Universe coloring book, "Wauren!! Wook" I looked at the boy and he pointed to his page. I examined the out of line coloring and saw that he colored wonder woman with brown skin, "ooh it's beautiful buddy" I said in awe. He smiled so adorable "Mommy!" I came to the realization that wonder woman was suppose to be Normani, in a way it's incredibly symbolic but his 3 year old mind probably doesn't understand it.

You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there

I heard my ringtone that I had for Camila go off but it sounds far away, I must've left it in the living room..

And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there

I got up from the kitchen table and walked over to the living room table and picked up my Iphone 6 plus

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to d-

"Hello?" I answered, I heard a sniffle and instantly got worried "Camila. What's wrong?" I honestly hate when Camila cries because it's like watching someone torture a puppy. I looked in the kitchen to keep an eye on King, "she's.." my best friend for 14 years let out a sob.

This must be important I don't recall a time she cried this hard, "where are you babe?" I asked. I saw Normani on the steps staring at me with a blank face, "your house" Camila replied in between breaths. I sighed in relief "Ok I'm on my way. Don't go anywhere" once she said ok I hung up.

I found a piece of paper and a pencil so I could write something to give to Normani, "King come say goodnight to Lauren" the young mother said, he ran over to me and hugged my legs "don't go Wauren" he pleaded. I picked the 3 year old up and he wrapped his tiny legs around my torso, "you'll see me again buddy.." I smiled when I saw his lip poke out aww he's so cute

"Faster than you can say Jauregui" the little boy's face dropped and I couldn't help but laugh, I heard Normani slightly giggle too but it soon turned into an infectious laugh when her son tried to pronounce my last name, oh God that sound is so beautiful. I held out the piece of paper for her to take, the english furrowed her eyebrows and took it "what's this?" she asked curiously

I smirked when I saw her eyes roll, "your number.. really?" I nodded my head and I saw her bite her cheek to contain herself from smiling. I stared the darker woman in her beautiful brown eyes that I grew fond of, "don't worry beautiful that's for King, unless you want to use it for yourself then it's for both of you" I winked at her and she scoffed but you could see the amusement on her face.

"Goodnight Miss Jauregui" Normani said taking her son from me, ugh again with the Miss Jauregui I waved goodbye to the family of 2 and went home.

"I swear to God Camila I'm gonna beat her ass" I said pacing back and forth filled with and anger she betrayed us no.. She fucking used us! She used Camila!! I hear laughter coming from our very drunk blonde friend, "she'll break you like a fucking twig and still have time for screwing over another group of friends" Tori slurred

I arched my eyebrow and felt my face heat up from more anger, "I can take her" I challenged while clenching my hands into a fist "bitch where? To dinner?!" I forgot how fucking annoying Tori gets when she's drunk. The curly haired girl started to giggle "I mean you can try but she's a trained police officer.. She'll beat your ass"
