Smoke flew out the window rapidly as Isaac took his drags. Probably hitting Lauren on its journey. I look back and see I teary eyed Lauren, fiddling with her sweater sleeves. What made her so upset? Was it the cigarettes or the fact that we basically committed a crime? Well I know I'll find out sooner or later. I just hope that she trusts me enough to tell me what happened.
It seems that every time something happens I start back at square one with her. It was a surprise to me that she trusted me in the first place. That she got in a strangers car and asked to go across the country with him. I'm just worried that her 'dad' had permanently damaged her. I mean, I would love her either way but for her sake. He's probably already scarred her enough as is but I would never ask for details. What kind of man would I be if I made her relive all of her painful memories.
She can tell me if she wants to or when she's ready, but until then I'm not going to make her. We pulled into yet another hotel. I made Isaac pay for it since he almost got us arrested. He deserves it, what can I say? We went up to our room and ordered a pizza which Isaac went out to get, leaving Lauren and I alone in the room.
"A-are you angry with me?" She asks sheepishly. "No,no why would I be angry?"
"I-I snapped at Isaac in the car and I didn't m-mean to, I-I'm sorry." She started to sniffle and hiccup as tears spilled from her gorgeous eyes. Eyes that pretty should never cry. "Hey," I put my hand on her shaking shoulders. "It's okay, you weren't mean. You're the sweetest most kind person I've ever met. Despite everything that's happened to you, you always remain positive. And I love that about you."
Her eyes started to well up with tears again but this time they were happy tears. Tears of joy. The only tears she should ever have to cry. "If you don't mind my asking, why do you hate cigarettes so much?" She fidgeted and shifted. Was it something personal? "It, it wasn't that it was just... I feel like Isaac just doesn't appreciate the life he has. I would give anything to have a normal, carefree life yet he throws it all away like that. Never mind it's- I'm being so selfish I'm sorry, I'm usually not like this."
She had a point, she never got a normal happy childhood which was all she wanted, and Isaac was right next to her lighting cig after cig taking a risk each time. I understand her. She's not being selfish, she's being completely reasonable. "I don't think you're being selfish."
"You don't?"
"No, I don't. When I look at you I don't see someone who's selfish. I see someone who has missed so many great things about life. So many years of lost experiences. And I promise I will get you all of those years back." I said tucking, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She buried her head in my neck and said. Thank you......so much
