For you

Chapter 2

(P.s the song doesn't go with the chapter but it's my favourite song of the week)

Lauren POV
I don't really like scary movies.

"Blair witch project, I-l can't watch this. " I whisper to Steven

"Why?" He asked, looking down at me, there was a look in his eyes I couldn't read. Was it confusion, annoyance? No it looked like worry. Why was he worried?

"Because I'll get scared. I don't like scary movies" I say, embarrassed

"Its okay, we're in the same boat" he replies giving me a small smile.

Everyone is under covers so Steven and I go under as well. It's so warm and cozy. Emily looks over to me and smiles. She knows that I like Steven. She's been trying to get us together. However she stopped because Steven was now dating Victoria. The opening music started I tensed up. I think Steven could tell I was nervous because, he took my arm and started to rub it. This calmed me down, a little. It made me happy, I had butterflies in my stomach. I know Steven is with another girl, but having this moment just makes me surge with happiness. There was a jump scare. I screamed. My heart beat quickened. Fear spreads across my face. Everyone looked over to me and I give a light laughed And blushed.

"It's not funny guys," I says laughing also throwing a pillow at Josh.

"It's ok, it made me jumped a little too," Steven whispered, to me.

I look at him and smile. knowing that both him and I don't really like scary movies.

Steven POV
I'm glad Lauren sat next to me because I hate scary movies. I looked down to her, she was tense.

"Blair witch project. I-I can't watch this" Lauren whispers,

"Why?" I look to her this made me concerned, confusion flickers across her face.

"Because I'll get scared. I don't like scary movies" she says, I feel the same way.

"it's okay, we're in the same boat," I smile. I could see it in her eyes as we began watching the movie. I did the only thing I knew would calm her down. I took her arm and began to rub it. I could tell she was calming down because the look in her eyes softened. This moment right now, made me fell at ease. I see Lauren as my best friend. Lauren screams. This makes me jump. I wasn't even paying attention to the movie but her scream made my heart drop for a second. Her fear level raised. Horror crossed her face. Everyone laughed, I wasn't laughing. Her scream scared me I thought something went wrong.

"It's not funny, guys" she says, her face I light shade of red. She threw a pillow at Josh who was still laughing. I watched panic still wild in her eyes.

"It's ok, it made me jump too." I reassure her. She smiled.

Lauren POV

Once the movie was over all I could think about was how scary it was. I'm gonna have a night terror for sure. I feel very nervous for going to bed. I just stopped having them, from the movie I just filmed The Boy.

"So we are all gonna sleep down here?" I asks, looking to the floor which barely had blankets on Steven's and mine side.

" Yeah I have sleeping bags upstairs, if you want I can go grab them." Emily says, perfect now I won't freeze tonight.

"I'll help," I respond, running up the stairs behind Emily. Once we reach the top we take a left and go into a closet where on the top shelf two sleeping bags sat. One was really big and cozy and, the other was small and very light. I grab the big one but before I could go back downstairs Emily grabs my arm.

"your gonna sleep next to Steven tonight, and I don't care what you have to say." she states, I laugh. She is still trying to get us together.

"Ok." I say lifting my hands up as if I were surrendering.

"Come on lets go." she laughs, we turn around and head down the stairs. The tile at the bottom of the stairs caught me off guard, and made my feet turn freezing cold. As I look up everyone is in there own spot, getting ready to go to sleep. Except Steven he was sitting straight up on the couch waiting for me.

"We got two sleeping bags but one of them is really big and the other is small." I say to Steven, he scatches he's head and says,

"Okay, I think we should open the small sleeping and sleep under it. Then cover ourselves with the big one." He said, this plan sounded perfect to me.

"Yeah, that would be perfect." I respond, we open the small sleeping bag then the we lay under the big one. Steven's body heat radiated on to me. I'm facing him I sit there for 10 minutes, then 20 minutes and 30 pass. Why can't I sleep? I realize that I feel extremely anxious, this is making me sick to my stomach. I can't sleep because of the movie. Everyone was asleep but me. I touch Steven's shoulder to try and wake him up. He wakes up, looking into my eyes.

"What's wrong?" he spoke, I just stared into his calming brown eyes. "Lauren? What's wrong?" concern was hitched in his voice.

"I-I can't sleep" I reply, the scenes from the movie are engraved in my head.

"Here, turn around." I turn my back to him and he began to play with my hair. It did in fact calm me it made my anxity levels decrease. My breathing relaxed I slowly let the tiredness take over me and I fall asleep.

Steven POV

I'm woking by someone pushing my arm. I open my eyes to see Lauren's green eyes. Her face is pale, very pale.

"What's wrong?" I ask, she didn't answer. Why wasn't she answering me? "Lauren? What's wrong?" my words now becoming slightly distressed.

"I-I can't sleep" she says, her voice is heavy with anxiety. It was the movie, it was scaring her.

"Here, turn around" she turns around and I begin to play with her hair I knew this would calm her down because it's the simple things that calm her down. Her tension began to ease. She slowly fell asleep. I let the darkness of the night consume me as well.

Hope you enjoyed. Took a little while to post I will try and start get chapter up faster. I'm just a really slow typer.
