imessage | j.w.d

54

the next day I woke up early and decided to make it up to josh for pranking him. I got washed and dressed and did my make up. my phone kept buzzing. there was a picture of me hugging me cousin trending over instagram and I was scared shitless. I didn't want it to come in between me and josh. maybe it wouldn't, considering he's such a nice and caring boyfriend. I went to the fridge and got some milk out, humming to myself. I turn around and scream.

"josh you scared me..." I stopped when I saw his face. he had been crying.
"josh are you okay?" I ask, putting a hand on his shoulder. he flinched.
"don't touch me"
"josh... what's wrong?" I ask.
"I thought we loved each other"
"josh what are you talking about?"
"what's this?" indeed it was the photo of me and my cousin. fuck my life.

"oh, that's my cousin kyle" I say.
"I don't believe you" he says.
"but-"
"why would you do that? you know I love you a lot and your the only person (along with tyler and family) who makes me happy? I thought I had the perfect relationship for once"
"josh I promise you, I wouldn't ever cheat on you!" I say nearly crying.

"yeah yeah, you said it" he rolled his eyes. I put the milk down and sighed.
"I don't see what I've done wrong. all I did was hug my cousin, as I haven't seen him for 4 years! is it a crime to miss someone you used to be so close to?" I say, with attitude.
"it sure is, if your also going out with them behind my back" he says.
"josh, I'm not fucking cheating!"
"I'm done with you okay? we're over!"
"josh-"

"STOP! IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT!" he said.

"I'm sorry" I ran to the bathroom and cried my eyes out. I had to get out. he didn't want to see me ever again. I went to our room and got my suitcase. I packed all my things and wrote some notes:

dear tyler,

thank you for being a great brother. I'll miss you. take care of mariyah and josh. ily bro. stay alive.

- Lauren xx

dear mariyah,

- Lauren xx (hoty queen)

dear josh,

you hate me. I get it. I'm sorry for ruining your life and making you unhappy. but I want you to know, if you ever want to give me a second chance I'm up for it. I love you so much. I'll stay away if that's what you want. I'll do anything to make you happy again. so if that means to never see you again, I'll do it. I'm sorry for ruining our relationship. I'm sorry for screwing up. I'm sorry okay? I'm just so sorry and I love you and will miss you. if you ever need me, text me. call me. I'll be there for you. I want you to be okay. I love you with all my heart.

I left josh's note on his bed, I slipped tylers under his door and I put mariyah's under her door to. i grabbed my suitcase and my eyes swivelled to the kitchen. he was staring at me. he then looked away. tears fell down my face as I opened the door. I put my house keys on the hook, stepped out and shut the door. I went to my car and cried my eyes out inside. I started the engine and started driving. I knew where I was going, don't worry.

Lauren started to cry. "I'm sorry" she ran upstairs crying. a part of me felt bad for making her cry. but another part of me felt good. she cheated on me. she lied to me. she hurt me. she broke me.

i sat down and sighed. I was like that for a while. then I heard her coming downstairs. I looked over at her and she was crying and holding a suitcase. my heart shattered. she was leaving.
she can't hurt you again josh my thoughts told me. that's true. she glanced at me. I couldn't look at her. I rolled my eyes and looked away. i heard her let out a sob, open the door and close it. she's gone.

"NO!" mariyah knew now. then I was on the floor. I looked up. dear lord.
"what the fuck have you done!?
"she cheated!"
"no she didnt!"
"yes she did!" tyler pulled her away from me. "babe stop"
"lauren has left! all because of this fucking imbecile!" she yelled at him.
"she cheated on me!" I exclaim.
"she didn't!"
"lauren would NEVER cheat on someone. she's so kind hearted and down to earth. she cares about everyone and everything. why would she want to do such a thing!? tell me! tell me, you fucking twat!" .
"maybe she did" ty mumbles.
"what the fuck!" mariyah started to cry. "I can't believe you!" she walked away and to her room. seconds later,

her music was playing and it was really loud. I sighed and got up slowly.
"what happened?" tyler asks me.
"lauren cheated on me. I found a picture of her with another guy. she kept denying it and she left now"
"let me see" he says. I showed him the photo. "josh.,,you idiot!" he hits me.
"ow what!?" I exclaim.
"that's her cousin!".
"tell me your joking" I say.
"here" he tapped on the picture and kyle's tag came up. "see? it says Kylie WALKER" tyler shows me. he clicked it and scrolled down the profile. he tapped on a photo. it was a family photo. and lauren was in it.

@kylewilkinson: Love my fams❤️

I started to cry and hit my head against the wall. I slid down it and sobbed. I ruined lauren. our relationship. mariyah. everything. I screwed everything up.
"josh" tyler gave me a hug.
"tyler I've messed up" I wept.
"finally fucking believe me!?" we look up to see mariyah, tears streaming down her face.

"babe I'm sorry..." tyler stammered.
"you think I'm a liar? you think I'm not trustworthy? you think the same of my best friend? the girl who saved my life? the girl who helps me no matter what? the girl who was the first person to get a real smile out of me?" she exclaimed.
"look im sorry! okay? i know we were wrong"
"no...im sorry. im being a cunt" she says hugging tyler. why can't me and lauren be like that, right now?

"josh, your an asshole! I don't care if your best friends with my boyfriend. you broke her. now YOU need to fix it" she says casually.
"thanks for the help" I say with attitude
"I'm glad it helped"
