Something about her

- 11 -

"So, you're telling me that.. You don't want to be with Camila, because you're afraid of what might happen in the future, but you're sat here crying because she's with someone else?"

Lauren sighed and nodded, wiping her tear stained eyes with a tissue that Tyler had given her earlier. She woke up surprisingly early this morning and decided to go see Tyler before her audition later. She found herself thinking about a certain brunette on the way to Tyler's apartment and before she got out of the car, she was already in tears. Tyler immediately pulled her in for a hug and led her to the living room. He made her a cup of coffee before he sat next to her on the couch and let her cry into his shirt.

"That's messed up, Lo" he whispered.

Lauren looked at Tyler with a baffled expression on her face. Wiping her tears from her stained cheeks, she made herself more comfortable on Tyler's shoulder. "You're supposed to be making me feel better, you idiot" she laughed pathetically.

"Lauren.."

"Oh God, I know that tone" she sighed as she sat up and sat cross legged on the sofa.

Tyler frowned and sat back, looking away from Lauren with a pout on his face. "If you don't want my advice then that's fine" he shrugged nonchalantly.

"I'm sorry, go ahead.." she pushed his shoulder playfully.

He turned so he was also sitting cross legged opposite Lauren. "I think that you should give Camila a chance"

"I was gonna-"

"Just listen, okay? From what it sounds like, Camila really likes you.. Like, a lot. I mean, she played the piano and sang to you, then told you that she's never done that for anybody before. She got you an audition for a movie as soon as you told her that you've been trying to look for a job.. And she got you and your friends VIP passes to her gig at Element, Lauren. The hottest club in LA" he laughed, "she met your friends on your second date, and she wasn't hesitant about it either.. I mean if I was with someone and they asked me to meet their two best friends when we'd only been on one date, I'd run a mile"

"She's-"

"Ah ah ah!" he interrupted again, "Listen.. She really likes you, Lauren .. She wouldn't do all that stuff for you if she didn't want to be with you.. You can't let rumors ruin your chance of being with the one person who thinks the world of you.. And I know that all the shit that has happened in the past has basically ruined your ability to trust people.. But not everybody is going to leave you, okay?"

"I know.. I do want to be with her but she's with Kylie now.. She's her ex, Tyler .. They have a past and- and I'm just some girl who she found in a coffee shop" she sighed.

Tyler let out a loud laugh and buried his head in his hands as he laughed it out, gaining a questioning and hurt look from Lauren. He calmed down after a few minutes and looked at Lauren who had a blank expression on her face. "Oh, you're serious?" he smirked.

"Well, yeah.. I mean she's known her for so long and we've known each other for.. Not even a week."

"You know what, you're right" he sighed, "she doesn't want to be with you. I guess you'll just have to get over it."

Lauren's face dropped, "Tyler!"

Tyler let out a breath of air in annoyance. "Are you serious?! Everything I say is wrong" he closed his eyes and stood up, "you just want people to say what you want to hear" he said, walking into the kitchen.

"That is not true!" she shot back suddenly defensively.

"Well what then Lauren?!" he turned around, Lauren winced at the seriousness in his voice, "what else do you want me to say? It seems like everything I say, you just find a reason to tell me that I'm wrong!"
