Lauren Jauregui Imagines

Silence Broken

Your POV

"Honey! I'm home!" I heard my girlfriend shout from the door. Bounding down the stairs and tripping slightly I jumped up into her arms wrapping my legs around her waist, peppering her face with kisses.

Her giggle was music to my ears and it made me smile more. She pressed her soft pink lips to mine in a passionate kiss and held me up by my thighs. We pulled apart when oxygen became necessary and I stood back on the floor.

"How was your day baby?" She asked in a caring tone. I used my right hand to signal that it was okay but not the best.

"Speech therapy not getting any better?" She further inquired with a sympathetic look in her eyes. I lied and shook my head.

I've been going to speech therapy for just over three years after a car accident left me not only with scars but also with a head injury, I have a speech impediment and stutter but I'm ashamed of it so my therapist said that I should write down how I feel more often. I don't ever talk to ashamed that my voice will come out horrible, Lauren doesn't mind though.

She puts up with my silence and she happily sits for hours reading letters that I write to her telling her how I'm feeling or how my day was. I know she misses my voice though, I'd heard her cry once to Ally because while she's happy supporting me and trying to make me feel more confident she finds it so hard and painful to not have an actual conversation with me m.

That's why I've been going to extra speech therapy sessions and practicing talking small and large sentences at home while the girls or at M&Gs or interviews or in the studio. I've decided that with all the practice and support that I've been given that I'm going to tell Lauren I love her at the dinner table Tonight in front of all of the girls. I haven't verbally said that for 4 years, I haven't spoken to her since the after the accident actually, I'm doing this for us both.

"Hey Bug! How was therapy today?" Normani came up to me and hugged me tight, I wrapped my arms around her tighter. I pulled back and made a sad face to show that it wasn't good again, I lied. Therapy is really helpful but they aren't going to know that yet.

"Aww I'm sorry princess.... why don't you come help me and Smalls make dinner yeah?" My eyes lit up because I love making dinner, I look over to Lauren and she laughed a little then kissed my forehead.

"Of course you can help them baby, just make sure they don't burn our food." You smiled and kissed her lips quickly then held Normani's hand to go to the kitchen.

"Don't worry Lo, you know it won't be much longer till she's back to using her words, Dr walker said so herself." You heard Dinah say to your girlfriend and a smirk appeared on your face.

******************

"GIRLS, DINNER'S READY!" Ally shouted through the house and soon enough I heard the sound of feet rushing towards the kitchen.

I had my phone and the app which allows me to type and "talk" in front of me so that I could have a conversation with the girls.

After we were all seated and Ally and Mani said their prayers, we dug into the stir fry dinner.

"Oh my god this is the best, who is responsible for making such a delight!" I heard Camila half praise half moan with the food she was eating.

"Well it was all Y/N/N who chose to have this and made most of it, so praise her." Was the reply from Ally.

"Mmmm Y/N you should totally replace Allycat as the Fifth Harmony chef." Dinah laughed and quickly held her hands up In surrender when Ally shot her a glare.

"Guys I have an announcement to make." I typed in my phone and the device spoke out. All eyes instantly on me.

"I've been lying about how the sessions have been going. They've been going really well and I've been taking extra while also practicing at home while you guys work just so I could do... well, say this..... and hopefully many more words." I finished typing and put my phone down, the room deadly silent as the girls sat confused.

"Lauren..... I-I love you." I managed to speak out and smiled at how easy it was. Then I hear the sounds of someone choking, cutlery hitting the plates and gasps.

I look down shyly and worry that I messed up.

"D-did you...... did you just... talk?" Camila managed to say while Ally and Dinah helped a choking Normani. Lauren still say wide eyed and mouth agape.

"Yeah.... I guess, I guess I did." I said and Camila squealed while rushing over to hug me.

Lauren came out of her state of shock. She then burst into tears and loud sobs wrecked her body. I ran over to her and pulled her into my embrace.

"Baby, w-what's wrong? Was-was it me?" I asked getting insecure and thinking she didn't want to hear me talk. Her crying only got heavier after I said that.

"N-n-no it-it wasn't you..... you.... just told m-me you... you love me a-and I h-h-haven't heard y-yo-you say that s-since the a-ac-accident!" She wailed loudly into my chest.
"Why.... why are you t-t-talking now? Not-not that I mind." She asked and I smiled.

"Because Lolo, I heard you crying to Ally a few months a-ago and I wanted you to know-to know that I love you. I wanted to try f-for you. It was killing me..... to see you s-so sad so I worked harder to b-be able to tell you I love you." I said and felt internal pride at the so few stutters that occurred during my little speech.

She stood up and pulled me into a bone crushing hug and kissed me deeply, I could taste her tears in my mouth and pushed back against her more eagerly. I probed her bottom lip with my tongue asking for entrance which she gladly gave me. Our tongues brushing each other to explore the now familiar territory, I heard her let out a slight moan when I moved my right hind to her ass giving it a squeeze while my left was tangled in her hair. We pulled apart at needing air and looked into each other's eyes, hers still shining with tears which I wiped away with the pad of my thumb.

After looking into her eyes for a little while longer I felt her lift me up bridal style and start making her way towards our bedroom.

"HEY! We want to have a real conversation now!" Dinah shouted after us!

"LATER! I WANNA HEAR MY GIRLFRIEND MOAN AND SCREAM MY NAME!" Lauren shouted back and I would be lying if I said it didn't immensely turn me on.

We got to the bedroom and she threw me on the bed then locked the door, she made her way back over to me and the heated make out session was quickly escalating again. Our shirts and jeans now somewhere in the room, our hands wandering the expanse of exposed skin and lips leaving marks on each other.

"Lauren... baby." I moaned out and pushed her back gently, she looked at me with blown pupils and adoration written all over her features. I smiled and leaned up to lightly peck her lips.

"Are you okay?" She asked while rubbing my cheek with her hand, she was so beautiful.

"I'm perfect Lo, make love to me." I said with confidence and not a single stutter. Her response was her lips back on mine in a heated yet passionate kiss.

I think I'll be using my voice a lot more often if this is how I get treated.
