"Lauren, you know that you can talk to us." You reassured, putting your hand on her shoulder.

You were now sat on your sisters bed, you at one side and Taylor at the other. "Yeah Lo, we're here for you." The youngest Jauregui added.

Lauren sobbed into her hands, but nodded in response to what you had both said. The pair of you gave her a few minutes to come around, when she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"D-do mom and da-dad know?" Was all that she whispered.

You shook your head in response, but knew that it was only a matter of time before the news channels found out. Lauren  realized this too, so she quickly reached for her own phone.

"I- uh, I need to call Lucy."

*******

"You okay Lo?" Taylor asked in concern.

It had been about 10 minutes since your sister had called her best friend. She didn't really say much, but told her that she needed to come to your house to talk.

You looked to the singer, now with concern as she had remained quiet since ending the short phone call.

"I'll be fine."

Just as you were about to speak up, you heard the sound of the doorbell. Lauren instantly turned her attention to you, and you nodded in understanding.

"Wait with Lauren Tay." you told your younger sister before moving to the door.

You gave Lauren a reassuring smile and then ran out of the room to the stairway, before running to answer the door. However, your dad got their first. So, you rushed down the steps, praying that Lucy wouldn't say anything.

Mike opened the door, greeting the brunette, however he noticed the worried look on her face. You rushed to his side and looked to the girl with sympathy.

"Hi Luce." You greeted and she gave a soft smile. You opened your arms out and she instantly fell into your embrace.

"Everything okay?" Mike spoke up, now with a confused expression.

You quickly took Lucy's hand and nodded. "Girl stuff dad." was all that you said, looking back to your friend. She looked back to you, then to your father.

"Yea-yeah, uhm, everything's good." She added.

With that, he put his hand on your shoulder. "Okay, well I hope you girls sort it out."..."You know where your mom and I are if you need us." The older Jauregui cooed.

The pair of you smiled gratefully. Then, you grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her up the stairway. Your father retreated to the kitchen and the pair of your rushed up the steps.

"Is she okay?" Lucy whispered, as you headed to Lauren's room.

You reached the top of the stairs and pulled her into the bathroom. "Okay- so, she's kinda- well super anxious." You explained quietly, not wanting your sisters to hear. 

Lucy sighed, looking down to the floor. "I- uh didn't think they'd get leaked." She mumbled, playing with the hem of her shirt. "I- uhm, I really like her y/n." She added, and you held in an awww.

It wasn't a surprise to you that Lucy had confessed this. There was always a spark between the pair. So, you nodded in understanding and just took her hand once more. "You should talk to Lauren..."

*********

"Laur..." Was all that Lucy whispered as you both entered her room. 

Your sister looked up to her best friend through teary eyes. You looked to Taylor, then back to Lauren, realizing that she was about to breakdown.

"Luce." She managed to whisper, then broke down into tears.  You quickly closed the bedroom door and Lucy rushed to Lauren's side.

The girl pulled your sister into her embrace, forgetting for the moment that you and Taylor were still in the room. You watched the cute encounter, as Lucy wrapped her arms around your sister and murmured reassuring words.

You looked to your little sister and tilted your head to your door. Taylor instantly realized, understanding that the pair of you should give them space. So, the youngest Jauregui stood from her place on the bed and moved to leave with you.

However, Lauren lifted and shook her head. "n-no don't go." She practically begged.

At her panicked expression, Taylor sat back down and you also moved to her side. "Okay, Okay Lo, we're right here."

********

After a few minutes, Lauren had calmed down and the four of you were sat on the bed. "How did this happen?" Lucy mumbled and Lauren shrugged.

Then you heard Taylor speak up, and the three of you looked to her.   "can I ask a question?"

"Sure." Lucy replied, whilst gently rubbing Lauren's back and you had an incline of where this was going.

"Are- you uhm- are you two together?" She asked, addressing the clear elephant in the room.

You intently watched Lauren and Lucy, the room fell silent and Taylor stopped speaking.

"I- I nee-need to tell you guys something..." Lauren whispered and the pair of you nodded.

"You can talk to us about anything." You reassured, placing your hand on her shoulder.

Lucy looked down to the floor, knowing that your sister was going to reveal the truth behind everything.

Your sister carefully entwined her fingers with Lucy's, then turned her attention back to you and Taylor. "Guys, I- I uhm, I'm bisexual." She confessed, "And, Lucy and I, we-we're in a relationship."

**********

"You're not freaked out?" Lauren asked, with a huge sigh of relief as you and Taylor pulled them into a hug.

"Lauren, you are our sister, we love you and your happiness is all that matters to us." You reassured, hugging her close.

"The kiss, we should have been more carefu-" Lucy started, but you placed your hand on hers.

"You guys don't have to explain, everything's okay... The only thing we need to think about now is how we're going to fix this." You said softly, and Taylor nodded her head.

"Yeah guys, I don't wanna worry you but the press will get a hold of this as quickly as they can..." The youngest Jauregui added.

Lauren and Lucy looked to each other for comfort, then Lauren turned her attention back to you. "I'm going to come out..."

"Babe-" Lucy spoke up, but Lauren shook her head.

"I have to do this Luce, I need to be myself, I can't pretend for any longer...I'm going to write something for Billboard...Then at least the press don't have a hold on me-"

"Have you thought this through Laur?" You interrupted, not wanting her to make any rash decisions.

"I have now y/n...I'm sick of hiding...I should be proud of my sexuality, and this is the best way."..."I'm going to write the article and face the consequences later."..."As long as I have you guys, our family and the girls, that's all that matters to me."

"You're going to come out?" Taylor confirmed.

"I'm coming out..."
