Healing the Heart

Chapter 6

Stephen p.o.v

My heart skipped a beat..and defiantly not in the good way. No the good way would be when I see Lauren in the mornings, how she smiles shyly when she sees me but doesn't give eye contact. It shows that shes insecure. I have no idea why she would be though, shes absolutely gorgeous which I'v told her before. Shes possibly the most beautiful girl I have ever met.

A lot of girls throw themselves at me. Most of the time I accept it if there hot, but it never means anything or goes anywhere which is just what I used to like. Until I met Lauren, shes girlfriend material,I have never met someone and instantly liked them from the moment I first set eyes on them.

I know Lauren doesn;t feel the same way. I know all this sounds so cheesy or whatever but I don;t care. She does something different to me. She makes me feel so good when i'm around her. Oh which brings me back to what I was trying to say, my stomach dropped. Me and Lauren were at the dance after just having a stupid row. She looked amazing, i can barely be around her without being temped to just pour out all my real feelings for her. I looked over to see her kissing Corey Banks, the school douchebag.

I tried to warn her but she wouldn't listen. I don;t blame her though she obviously really likes him and i'd if anyone tried to warn me to stay away from Lauren theres not a hope in hell I'd listen to them.

I froze for a couple of seconds. My heart sank. It was like I was being stabbed right in the heart but no one else around me noticed. I realised after a minute that I was obviously staring at them so I stopped quickly but out of the corner of my eye I notice Lauren pull away from Corey and stare at me with a look of guilt in her eyes.

Did she know I liked her?

I tried to look away as if I'd seen nothing. Chloe, the tall blond model like girl came over to me and began chatting away but I wasn't interested in what she had to say I just nodded along and made it look like I was listening .

Lauren said something to Corey that looked as though it annoyed him, he then shot me a filthy glare. Before I knew it she was walking towards me and Corey was throwing his hands up in the air in disgust.

I turned to Chloe to make it look like I hadn't notice Lauren and Coreys kiss.

''Stephen, can we talk?'' She said while lightly placing her hand on my arm

I nodded, mainly because I was lost for words.

''Are you okay?'' She asked concerned

''Amazing''

''Stephen...''

''What Lauren? What do you want from me?''

''I want you to tell me whats going on!''

i shot her a livid glare and turned to walk away, this is usually how all our arguments ended.

''Oh for Gods sake Stephen, grow up!'' She roared which caused a good few peoples to stand and stare.

Mark Ryan, my best friend whos also on the football team came straight over.

''All good man?'' He asked

''Perfect'' I responded

''Maybe its not meant to be bro''

''Maybe....'' I said sipping on a drink

''Look man I think I'll head, catch you tomorrow 'kay'' I said

He nodded sympathetically.

I couldn't stay there, I didn't want to spend my night watching Lauren dance aorund happily with Corey. I'll get over her I know I can. It wasn't a big deal...

* * *

I woke up early and had a good few texts. The only one I opened was the one from Lauren. Even though I was mad at her my heart still thumped when I seen a message from her.

From Lauren ;)

Sorry if 'hooking up' with Corey pissed you off. I take it its because you hate him, if I'm wrong and theres another reason why you were so annoyed please do tell me...

Lauren x

She clearly knows by now...

To Lauren ;)

I'm sorry for over reacting. I'm happy that you're happy, ignore me.

-

I have never been heartbroken before, I guess its because I've never liked anyone enough to be upset to see them with someone else. I never spent enough time with one single girl to actauly get to know and like her. It was weird but I guess kind of good in a way.

Until now.

Not a good feeling at all....
