Teach Me To Love Again

A/n: just to save some detailing that's what they'll be wearing this whole chapter.. Enjoy

hmm.. what should I wear? on one hand I can be comfortable and wear; a grayish hoodie with black pants, or be hot and wear a black and red plaid shirt that stops at mid thigh with black shorts underneath...

Well it's a 4 year old party, I think I'll stick with being comfortable. "Laureeeeen" I heard Camila yell from downstairs, after I was done getting dressed I pulled my hair into a ponytail and put a navy blue hat on. My door opened and revealed my best friend Camila "what's up camz?" the younger girl sat on my bed and just stared at my outfit "something is missing"

I walked over to my jewellery box and took out a black necklace with a light blue pendant shaped like a moon, I showed it to Camila and she gasped "I got that for your 11th birthday because you was insanely obsessed with the moon" she giggled. It's true I loved astronomy; the stars, the planets, and most the moon "man, I was so happy" I stated while putting it on "better?" I asked Camila and she only nodded her head.

Silence took over the room and that's when I spoke up, "do you wanna go with me? I'm pretty sure king would love you" the younger girl twisted her lips, "no I'm ok.. Dinah will most likely be there and I don't wanna run into her anymore" I nodded my head forgetting all about Dinah, I honestly don't know what I would do if I saw her "I don't mean to sound rude but.. Why are you here?" Camila sighed before shrugging her shoulders, "I just needed to get away."

I walked over to the Cuban-Mexican girl and wrapped my arms around her, "I understand you can stay in my room" I said kissing the top of her head. She smiled a little bit, "thanks" I gave her my remote and left for King's party.

Today is King's birthday and I am freaking out because no one showed up, I saw King sitting on the doorstep not bothering to play the games we have set out for his party "sweetie.. are you positive that you told your friends about your party?" I asked taking the spot next to my son. He nodded his head, "yes mommy" was all he said before bringing his knees to his chest.

I could've sworn I invited his whole class, I gave the invitations to their parents also "well your Auntie Ally and Auntie Dinah is coming" King didn't take his eyes off of the ground yet.. Aww my baby is upset on his birthday I have to cheer him up "you know who else is coming?" I asked waiting for the 4 year old to ask or at least guess, but he continued to stare at the ground without muttering a word.

"They don't wike me mommy" I was shocked at what my son revealed, who wouldn't like this boy? "Don't think like that baby, who wouldn't like the cutest, sweetest, most intelligent 4 year old ever?" I asked tickling his sides making him laugh. I then let him calm down and take a breath "you should never let anyone or anything take away that smile King" I said kissing his cheek, "mommy who's toming?" The brown eyed boy asked and as if it was on cue we saw the raven haired girl walking towards us.

King's face lit up and he ran to Lauren with his arms spread wide, "Wauren!!" the 4 year old boy leaped into the pale girl's arms hugging her tightly, "happy birthday buddy" she kissed his cheek making him giggle. I enjoy watching them interact with each other, it's honestly so cute "am I early or..?" she asked with king still on her hip.

I shook my head, "you're actually almost an hour late but King is happy to see you so.." I trailed off while shrugging my shoulders. "Mommy I'm hungry" king announced, "go tell Trevor to make you a hot dog baby"  the light skin boy jumped off of Lauren and went in the house.

"Who's Trevor?" Lauren asked, "my old dance partner and King's dance teacher" being satisfied with that answer, she nodded her head in understanding. "You look nice" she complimented, I raised my eyebrow and laughed "only nice? Damn let me go change then" I was only kidding but seeing how fast her smile dropped was kinda worth it "no! You look beautiful how you are, there's no need to change"
