*Lauren's POV*

I woke up on the couch, confused for a few seconds before remembering I'd given Nadia my bed to sleep in after she'd awoke. She needed it way more than I did.

I went to check on her and she was peacefully sleeping and I sat beside her, caressing her cheek before pecking it softly.

With that, she smiled and rolled over sleepily, sitting up, yawning. I smiled realizing its been years since I've seen that. It made my heart swell.

"Hi, stranger," I whispered, fighting off more tears. She smiled and yawned back, "Hi." I'd already explained everything that had happened yesterday, but she was still confused, so I would ease onto that discussion again.

I let her shower and borrow some clothes so she felt better. I made breakfast while she was showering, but got a call, mid-cooking. It was from Bo.

I almost dropped dead, finally hearing from her. I answered quickly, "Bo? Are you alright?" She laughed and said, "Uh, yeah, how about you? You just disappeared and never even called me back."

I sighed and I couldn't tell her. Yet she still asked again. She grew more concerned as I told her not to worry. She finally gave up and before we ended the call, I heard her lightly whisper, "I love you, Lauren."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I imagined what she looked like today, what she was wearing, if she'd fed today. I've only ever wanted to keep her safe, but I did the exact opposite. I sold her soul to a demon.

Before I could get even deeper on thought, Nadia came in, humming. I smiled through the sadness and handed her a plate of food. "Mmm, this smells yummy, babe."

I turned and cringed when she called me 'babe'. I was only used to Bo calling me that, now it felt wrong being called that by anyone else...

I shrugged that ugly feeling off and sat down at the table beside her and we ate in a comfortable silence. After, we finished our food, we cleaned he kitchen together, like we used to.

Then, we settled in to watch a movie, her cuddling up to me. It was nice to have her back, but I don't know why, I had a horrible feeling in my gut that this wasn't us anymore. It wasn't me.

As I was lost in thought, she caressed my cheek, bringing my attention back to reality. She smiled softly and I did, too. Then, she leaned in and kissed my lips gently, and the only person I could think of was Bo...

*Bo's POV*

I rolled over in bed for the hundredth time today, trying to rest, but I couldn't get my mind off of Lauren, who sounded more tense than usual. I tried to let the feeling go, but it stuck like glue.

I finally decided I needed lunch and got up, walking to the fridge, settling for normal food for now. I rummaged and found some bagels and cream cheese, so I decided to eat that and spoil Kenzi's mid day nap. If I was awake, she was too.

I jumped on her bed and poked her side, "WAKE UP, KENZ!" She groaned and rolled over, and I couldn't help but laugh. She frowned and sat up, groggily.

After we at around being lazy and eating, I decided to shower and go surprise Lauren. Kenzi whined when I told her where I was going, but I finally made it out of there.

I decided to walk today, because it was decent. Not too hot, not too cold. With my leather jacket on, the breeze kept me cool and comfortable.

It took about thirty minutes to walk to Lauren's and I was so grateful to see her car parked in the driveway. I walked to the door and knocked lightly, hoping it was loud enough.

I heard some rustling going on inside and finally Lauren came to the door, looking very sad. I immediately asked her, "Lauren, what's wrong?" She shook her head and told me to come in.

I looked around something felt off and there was definitely something wrong with Lauren. I walked into the living room to find another woman sitting on her couch, crying with her head resting in her hands.

I looked intently at the girl an then at Lauren who immediately pulled me away, explaining.

"Bo, this is Nadia. Somehow Evony could save her. And well, she's my.." I cut her odd, before I got sick hearing it come from her. ".. Your girlfriend. I already know about it. The Morrigan filled me in." She let out a huge sigh and I couldn't help but feel bad for her.

I mean, here I am, ruining what relationship she and her coma-girlfriend had. I'm a home wrecker.

Before I could open my mouth to say anything else, Nadia came towards me, but talked to Lauren. "So this is the other girl, huh? The one you want to be with instead of me?"

Lauren opened her mouth to reply, but Nadia kept on, making me more angry than I felt already. "Lauren, don't open your mouth. You don't have to explain. Of course you'd want her, I mean, she's hot." She smirks towards me and I rolled my eyes, controlling my anger, for Lauren's sake.

Nadia went to grab a bag and a few clothes before she walked past Lauren and I, but Lauren tried explaining more and again, Nadia cut her off.

"You know what, Lauren? Fuck you and your little whore. I hope you enjoy one another because you surely deserve each other." And after she said that she spit on Lauren and I lost all composure I had.

I turned her around and slammed her against the door. "LOOK! Obviously, you don't love Lauren enough to let her be happy, so how about you go and run, like you were doing. I'll take care of her from here on out, whether I'm with her or not. You know why? Because I LOVE her."

I could see the fear dripping from her pores and heard Lauren whisper, "Bo. Stay calm." I loosened my grip on her shirt collar and backed up some. "Stay away from her, you crazy bitch." Then I pushed her back against the door.

She quickly turned and slammed the door behind her. I felt horrible for doing that. Especially in front of Lauren, but I was not going to let her disrespect Lauren like that. Or anyone.

I turned to meet Lauren in a warm embrace as she began sobbing in my arms. I stroked her hair and calmed her as she cried on my shoulder. Hopefully, this would all get better soon.

Hopefully...
