Lauren Jauregui Imagines |ABANDONED|

Backup Dancers pt. II

Y/N

I watched Sean as he taught us the dance Simon wants us to do and join in when the song starts again and focus on the moves when the second verse comes on and stop when the music is paused and look at Sean.

"Y/N, girl, you're blushing." Sean says and I sigh.

"It's a thing I do when I'm focused." I lie and smack Y/B/F when she looks at me with a furrowed brow.

"No it's n- Ow!" She cries out, clutching her arm where I hit her and I glare at her to tell her to shut her big ass mouth. "Yeah, she always blushes when she learns a new piece." She says and looks at me with a 'what the fuck' look.

When we get back to our apartment, I groan and Y/B/F walks up next to me.

"What was that?" She asks and I sigh.

"If you didn't know, Lauren's on that track."

"So?" She asks and I huff.

"I like Lauren! Okay!? I like Lauren and it's fucking the worst because I can't get her off my mind no matter what I do and ugh!" I say, punching the counter and feel Y/B/F take a couple steps away from me.

I look at Y/N as she keeps her fist pressed against the counter with her entire arm tensed to the point of it looking like she's flexing.

"Y/N/N." I start and she looks over at me. "Calm down, okay? I'll help you through it." I say and she relaxes a little. "Do you actually want to date her? Or do you just want to not feel anything?" I ask her and she huffs.

"Both." She says and I sigh.

"Alright, five years from now. Where are you?"

"Dancing with you, and dating...Lauren....Fuck. Y/B/F. Help me." She says and I smile.

"You go shower and I'll handle it." I say and she nods before disappearing into her room while I go sit on the couch and call Dinah.

"Y/B/F! Yo girl! I wasn't expecting a call for another two hours!" Dinah says excitedly and I chuckle. "You and Y/N ready to go get a bite?" She asks and I bite my lip.

"About that, D, I need your help." I say and Dinah pauses.

"I'll be over in a second." She says before hanging up and a minute later, someone knocks on the door and I open it to let Dinah in. "So what's up?" She asks and I point up at Y/N's closed bedroom door. "What's wrong with Y/N?" Dinah asks and I sigh.

"She likes Lauren, D, but she's freaking out about it."

"Freaking out how?" She asks and I sigh.

"During rehearsal a while ago, we were learning this new number for this new song that Simon wants us to do, she started blushing and when we got home, I asked what was going on and she freaked out and punched the counter, and she doesn't know what to do. She's in the shower right now."

"I'll talk to her after she gets out, you go shower too, girl." Dinah says and I go to my room and get in my shower.

I sit on the couch when Y/B/F leaves and text the girls on my phone, but look over when I hear Y/N.

"Dinah?" She asks and I look over my shoulder and smile at her.

"Hey girl." I say and she comes and sits next to me and puts her feet on my lap.

"What are you doing here?" She asks and I shrug.

"A little birdie told me that you needed help." I say and she sighs.

"Yeah, I actually do."

"So you like Lauren. She likes you too, boo, go get her."

"There's no way Lauren likes me. She's with Lucy." Y/N says and I scoff.

"No they fucking aren't. Lauren came out to Simon and automatically put her and Lucy together for publicity. Mostly for Lucy, but it's kinda helped us, too." I say and shrug. "Point is, she's only taken by fantasies of you two together. Go talk to her, last time I checked, she was in the living room." I say and watch Y/N get up and hop over the back of the couch and leave the apartment.

I sigh as I lay on the couch looking through social media and stop when I see a Twitter video of Y/N dancing in rehearsal, it doesn't have any audio, but it doesn't really matter, I watch as her body moves and jump when someone yells my name and look over the back of the couch to see Normani pointing to the door.

"It's for you." She says and I groan as I get up after leaving my phone on the coffee table and go to the door and smile when I see Y/N.

"Hey, Y/N what's up?" I ask and she takes a deep breath and looks me right in the eye.

"Can we talk?" She asks and I nod, letting her into the house.

"Let me get my phone and we can go to my room to talk, because if we don't nobody will leave us alone." I explain and she nods and waits for me to get my phone and follows me to my room. When I close the door, I tell her to sit on the bed and she sits on the foot of the bed, so I sit by my pillows. "What's up?" I ask and she takes a shaky breath.

"Lauren, I like you, and it sucks because I can't focus on anything but you except during dance, but today we were dancing to Back To Me and Sean and Y/B/F were giving me shit over the fact that I was blushing." Y/N blurts out and I stare at her for a second.

"You like me?" I ask and she nods, blushing bright red and I smile wide. "The feeling is mutual, Y/N, don't worry, okay? If you want to date, we can." I say and she looks up at me with wide eyes. "Did you not expect me to say that?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"Not at all." She says and I smile at her, curling my index finger to silently tell her to come closer, and when she's close enough, I grab her shirt and pull her to kiss me and smile into the kiss as she kisses back.
