The Girl With The Dying Heart•Laurmani[COMPLETED]

Thirty Two

Okay I'm probably gonna go to bed now if I can actually fall asleep. Here's four updates.

Normani

Lauren is playing dirty.

To be honest, it's getting on my nerves and she's barely done anything yet. When we walked into the dorms yesterday and I saw her with him, I knew it was fake which made me feel sort of bad for the boy who was getting dragged into this.

If her point was to make me jealous then she did succeed because even though I could tell she was doing it to make a show, it hurt seeing his lips against hers. How do I know it was fake? Lauren may be the little bi queen but ain't no boy got the cake like girls do, especially Ty. She hadn't been attracted to a boy in a very long time as far as I knew.

I figured it would take long till she broke his heart and tried to come back running to me. If she did, I would turn her down. I was with Dinah now, that's how things were going to stay.

It didn't make anything hurt any less though. I liked Dinah a lot, but I wasn't ready to love her. We had moved rather quickly in our relationship because she was the rebound but I ended up falling for her in the process.

We happened to be walking to my next class together because Dinah had a free afternoon and offered to take me when I saw Lauren. Oh god no, she was coming over here.

I bit my lip as I looked at her, noticing how well those shorts fit on her. No, no, no. These were not good thoughts. "Why is that girl walking towards us?" Dinah asked as I shrugged, pretending to not know who she was. I hadn't really mentioned who Lauren was when we got together. I just told her I had been in a relationship and it had been a nasty break up. 

"Don't know. Come on, I'm gonna be late," I answered, walking quicker. Hopefully, if I passed by Lauren fast enough then she wouldn't have time to say hello. Just as I was however, she grabbed my hand, stopping me in my tracks. I looked at her and she smiled.

"Hey," she greeted and I felt heat go places that I didn't want to.

"H-Hi," I responded before she ran a hand through her dark locks. My eyes just stared into hers, my breaths seeming to become harder to push out as I admired her green orbs. If eyes really were the passage to the soul, Lauren looked content and happy.

"Have a good day." She turned and walked away, leaving me to just watch her.

"Are you sure you didn't know her?" Dinah asked and I nodded. "She did just say hello."

"Yeah. She was probably just being nice. You know they have that campus patrol made out of students to just like walk around and keep an eye on things, say hello to different people. She's probably apart of that."

"Don't they wear those little badges that have a yellow smiley face though?" I just shrugged and kept walking, getting to the entrance of the building my class was in.

"Alright babe. Bye!" I kissed her cheek quickly before she could say anything else and ran inside. Oh gosh, I was doing bad. I was lying just like she was. Shit, this was not going to turn out well. Dinah was going to find out who she was, probably from Lauren actually walking up and saying,"hello, I'm Lauren Jauregui. I smashed your girl but we broke up because I cheated. She obviously still has the hots for me." No kidding, Lauren wouldn't hesitate to say something like that.

I just hoped I would tell Dinah before she did or someone else because I didn't want to lie to her. Dinah deserved better than that. She needed to know that Lauren is my ex and she's not coincidentally coming up and saying hello to me.

Class went by quickly and soon, I was riding my bike down to my beach where I knew Lauren would be. I needed to talk to her and get something sorted out between us. It didn't take long to get there since the campus was close and I expected to see her out surfing.

Part of me thought this was an excellent decision. The other half knew how fucking stupid this was and that it was going to get me into more trouble with her. Lauren could be very persuasive and that was concerning me to a point I felt scared to talk to her.

However, seeing her out on the water with someone else was what stopped me,  not just my fear of something going on between us. My bike skidded on the sand as I slid my foot down, stopping completely. I squinted, slowly making out who was out there with her.

Tyrone.

I sighed and watched as she laughed, floating on her board as he said something that must've been funny. That should've been us.

Taking a shaky breath, I kept back the salty tears in my eyes as I turned my bike and lifted the front wheel onto the cement so I could ride away. I didn't realize they were going to be going on dates now. I just thought she kissed him to make me jealous, not actually take it as far as going on a date. However, I was sure it wouldn't last, right? It's not like she actually liked him. I tried to convince myself of these thoughts but deep down I knew I was wrong.

I don't think she could've actually kissed him without feeling at least a tiny bit of attraction to the green eyed lad. He was good looking so this made sense. Maybe she was moving on.

I pushed off the side walk and rode down the road on my bike, being mindful of people walking on the sidewalk together, most of them holding hands. Why did my life have to be so complicated?

I just wanted to be with Lauren.
