Rivaled Love / Jauren

Watching everyone in my house. They looked familiar but I got a bad vibe off of them. "Derek.." I trailed off looking at everyone closely.

"Lauren." Derek stated. "There is some things we need to talk about."

"Like.."

Before Derek could answer me, Brittany rudely interrupted him, "You brother is giving you some family insight." She growls.

"Did I fucking ask you?" I bark right back.

"You should listen." She smirks, "Maybe it will teach you a thing or two about that piece of shit Justin."

Before I could defend Justin, my brother stops my thoughts by screaming at Brittany making her straighten up. As she walks by brushing her shoulder aganist mine, "I know you have something with Justin." She mumbles sending chills down my spine. "Do you wanna tell Derek or for me to do it?" She lightly chuckles exiting the room. I sat staring into the air emotionless and pale as if I just got news someone died. 

"Baby." Kyle murmurs, "Are you okay?"

I couldn't say anything. My heart burned and my stomach was churning deep inside. As I felt my emotions getting the best of me and everyone staring at me. I quickly walked up the stairs making sure no one could see my let out everything I had built up. I could hear two people following up after me. As I got to my room, I cover my head with a pillow as I laid on my stomach. My tears just came pouring out.

"Lauren." I hear my brother ask with sincerity. 

I couldn't say anything. I just wanted to be alone. Alone with Justin. He knew how to make me feel better. I feel Kyle's hand rub up and down my back as if he was going to calm me down. Nothing was going to change what Brittany knew. How did she know? The only gang that knew about Justin and I, was the Miami gang. Nobody else knew.  I couldn't grasp how she know. Who told her? Why was she so obsessed with ruining my life? I sobbed harder into the pillow letting out all my emotions. 

"Lauren." Derek growled. "What's wrong?" 

"Nothing." I cried. "I just want to be left alone right now."

As I hear nothing in return. I look up to see my brother gone and Kyle still staring at me with a concerned look across his face. "You can't just push me away." He says crisply.

"Brittany knows." I say now sniffling trying to calm myself down. "She knows about Justin."

Kyle shrugs, "So what?" 

I glare at him. "So what?" I spat venomously. "Shouldn't you be asking how she knows?"

"That isn't my business." Kyle shot back. "You knew it was wrong but you still went to him."

"Nobody knew except Justin's gang, the Miami gang, and you." I say grabbing his cheeks pressing them together. "Unless you ran your mouth."

"I didn't." Kyle seethed. "I have better things to do than snitch on you."

"Well I will find out how she knows." I huffed. "Because her holding that over my head is going to kill me."

Kyle rubs my back as I sit looking out my window of darkness. "Baby just don't let it get to you."

I sigh wishing I could be with Justin right now to talk to him. I know he said I had to make a decision but I was nowhere ready to hurt Kyle. I cared about Kyle too much.

"Well get some sleep babe." He kisses my cheek standing straight up now. "You got school."

I say nothing as Kyle walks out. I quickly pull out my phone beginning to text Justin.
