Treat you better (final part)

Once the doctor and nurse had left, the room became silent as you looked to the two most important people in your life.

Lauren was still holding your hand, and your mom was running her fingers through your tangled hair above the bandages.

"Mo-mom, i'm so-sorry." You apologized, and she wrapped her arms around you.

"Aw darling! Don't cry, hey thi-this wasn't your fault."

"Thankyou for being here mom."

"You're welcome sweetie, like I would be anywhere else...but i'm not the only one you should thank." She replied, looking to your best friend.

You turned to meet Lauren's emerald gaze. She was slightly shaken by all of the events, but you managed to softly squeeze her hand in yours. "Th-thankyou for being here Laur-lauren, you're amazing."

She nodded in response, and looked to you with concern. "How do you feel?"

"Like hell."

You heard her sigh, and then felt her thumb against the back of your hand. "You scared the crap out of me there." 

"Sorry." You mumbled.

The brunette never broke eye contact with you, and moved to gently kiss the top of your head. "That's okay, i'm just glad you're awake now."

**********

Your mom sensed the tension in the air as the room fell silent again. Your eyes were now closed, as the singer held your hand and just kept a caring gaze on you.

You heard your mom clear her throat, she was starting to feel  a tad intrusive. There was clearly something deeper going on between you and Lauren.

"Lauren, are you hungry?"..."i'll go grab us some food."..."and I should really take a shower- i'll be back soo-soon." She rambled, and stood to leave the room.

You opened your eyes and looked on in confusion.

"Jeez, anyone would think she wanted to give us some time alone." You tried to joke, but then groaned from the pain in your head.

The singer instantly tensed by your side and spoke with a panicky tone. "Oh shit, you okay? Do you need the docto-"

You carefully lifted your bruised hand and placed it on her arm. "Lauren, breathe. i'm okay, it just hurts."..."please can you cuddle me?"

She looked at you as if you had two heads, and ran her fingers through her hair nervously. "I-uh don't know if it's safe, I don't want to hurt you-"

"Jauregui, get over here."

*******

The pair of you were sat contently on the hospital bed. Your head was resting against Lauren's chest and you could feel her heart beating quite fast. Her arm was wrapped over your shoulder, and she occasionally planted a tender kiss against your cheek.

You didn't really know what was happening, but you weren't going to complain...you were in the arms of the person that you truly had feelings for.

Lauren entwined your fingers together and sighed, before breaking the silence.

"Y/n, what happened?"

Looking up to her, she looked back now with desperation. She wanted to know how the hell this could happen to one of the most important people in her life.

"We were in the car outside my house, you know when I left your place?" You asked, starting to give her an explanation.

She nodded, remembering that you had left hers to meet Austin.

"Everything started fine, we were just driving around, then I realized something was off with him."..."I noticed that he had been drinking so we got into an argument."..."I told him that he couldn't drive whilst being drunk and he started to get angry."

"Oh, y/n, okay, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to-"

"Honestly, it's okay." You reassured, and continued. "I-r-remember tellin-telling him to stop and he wouldn't, tha-that's when we swerved a-and hit the other car."..."an-and now, I do-don't know if th-the people in the other car ar-are dead-"

"Hey, don't think like that okay?"..."I promise that they are okay."..."The new's channel said that there has been no fatalities."

"Eve-even Austin?"

"Forget about him y/n...it's all over, okay? I got you, alright? You don't need to worry. I'm always here."..."Just like I said earlier."

***********

You looked up to her and kissed her cheek. She smiled softly at your cute gesture and you spoke up.

"Can I tell you something."

"Of course, anything." She reassured, hugging you closer.

"You know earlier Lauren?"..."When I was out of it?"

She looked down and nodded, slight confusion on her face as you breathed in deeply.

"I heard you..."

The singer's mouth now dropped open, and if the situation wasn't as serious, you would have giggled. "Wh-huh?" You heard her stutter.

"I heard every word Laur."..."How you said that you were scared, and you'd never leave...because-uhm, because you love me."

"Oh." She said quietly, her eyes starting to water.

"Hey, it's okay."..."Wanna know something?"

She ran her fingers nervously through her hair and nodded slowly.

You traced her jawline with your finger and leaned up slightly to press your lips against hers. She tensed for a second, then relaxed, finally realizing that you were kissing her.

Her hands gently moved to each side of your face, as you felt the passion and love between you both.

Eventually, you had to pull away to breathe, and she just traced gently over your lips with her fingers.

"Wow." Was all that she said, making you giggle.

"I have feelings for you too Lauren."..."This accident has shown me that life is too short, anything can happen."..."I have been hopelessly looking around for someone to love, someone to love me."..."and the person has been right in front of me the whole time."..."I've been so stupid Laur, wasting my time with idiots, when I have true feelings for you."

She gasped at your confession, and then gave you a loving smile. You felt her lips against yours once more in a tender kiss, then she kissed your bruised forehead. "Y/n, I want to treat you better."
