Laurens POV

After I left y/n's house I wandered around aimlessly for some time, trying to keep my mind of the fact that I may have lost her forever. It was already getting dark by the time I got home, I collapsed onto my bed just staring at the ceiling, I was distracted from my thoughts by my phone buzzing, I jumped up trying to answer it as quickly as possible, hoping it was y/n, as I already missed her voice. But instead it was Dinah and Normani, they both knew about how I felt and what I was planning on telling y/n, and both of them immediately started screaming questions down the phone, excited and eager to know how things went. The excitement in their voices reminded me of the hope I felt a few hours ago and how it had been crushed at the sight of Lucy, I started crying telling them how much of an idiot I was and how much I hated myself for letting her slip through my fingers. Both of the girls tried to calm me down so that I could tell them what had happened, after I had finished recalling this afternoon's events for them there was a period of silence,

'Do you think she's happy?' Normani whispered as if she was scared I would breakdown again.

'I don't know. That's what scares me the most, what if she's really happy with this girl and does love her? I can't tell her how I feel if she's in love with someone else, all it would lead to would be the end of our friendship. But Lucy, she didn't seem like the type for her at all,  I don't know what she sees in her. But she was happy guys I don't know what to do' I replied, feeling the lump in my throat returning and my heart slowly breaking more and more inside my chest, 'Do I let her go?'

'NO!' both Normani and Dinah shouted at the same time, 'you love her lolo, you can't let the love of your life be with someone who isn't right for them, she obviously doesn't know what the real Lucy is like, because I would bet anything that if you told her what Lucy had said she'd ditch her straight away. We have to go now, but text us okay? And don't let her go, you two belong together.' After saying our goodbyes they hung up wishing me luck. Maybe we do belong together, everyone seems to think so but her.

I wallowed in self-pity for the rest of the night, trying to figure out what to do and waiting for her to call me, but by 2am I had given up on her calling and so decided that she was too busy having fun with Lucy and had forgotten about me. Maybe I should let it go for the moment, and then if she broke up with Lucy then maybe I would tell her how I felt but for now I wasn't going to be selfish enough to ruin what they had, I didn't want to be the one to stand in the way of her happiness, and if Lucy is what made her happy right now then I'd just have to suck it up and accept it.

The next morning I woke up to a text on my phone, but not from the person I wanted one from, instead it was from Casey, she was inviting me around to their family BBQ. I was happy at the invite but sad at the same time, as normally y/n would be the first to text to insist that I attended. I replied to Casey telling her that I would be there and asked how everything was going and how she liked Lucy. I went to have a quick shower and returned to texts from Casey and y/n, I decided not to respond to y/n straight away, she had made me wait all night so I was going to at least wait a few minutes before responding.

'OMG! She's horrible Lauren, and I'm not saying that just because I ship you and my sister more but honestly, she's really horrible. I don't know what y/n sees in her, last night she was being so nasty towards me for no reason, she was laughing at me when y/n wasn't around and teasing me for random things. You have to get here as soon as possible and get rid of her and win my sister over, if not for your sake then for mine!! I'm sure if you told her how you felt she'd feel the same' - Casey

Reading her message made me feel a little hopeful again, but it also made me angry, Casey is the sweetest girl ever and if y/n knew that Lucy had been horrible to her she'd be so angry, she is really protective over her little sister. But although it made me feel hopeful I tried not to think into it too much, maybe Casey was saying it to make me feel better. I sent a quick message to Casey saying I'd be there soon and told her to stay away from Lucy and not to let it get to her before reading y/n's text, which immediately made me lose all hope again.
