Unbreakable?- Lauren/You

Dirty Clubs and Still Best Friends

Y/N's POV:

I woke up with Weiss holding me tighter while mumbling something about puppies. I groaned and tried to get back to sleep. Why am I like this? I slept late and now it's what? Seven? Why the hell is my body clock so fucked up? Ugh.

When I noticed that I wouldn't be able to sleep again, I slowly and carefully got out of my girlfriend's grip. She whined a little and then just hugged my pillow instead. I tried not to laugh at her, because an early morning Weiss is a bitchier than ever Weiss, and I really dislike dealing with that. Last time, she didn't kiss me at all for two days. Not fair, I know.

I grabbed the clothes that I would be wearing to travel today. Our next show is in Berlin and I am really excited. I've always wanted to go to Germany.

I then walked inside the bathroom to take a shower. As the water hit my skin, I closed my eyes and let myself be taken by the memories.

Flashback:

I was so excited! Lauren got the four yeses and oh my God, she nailed it! Her voice is just so amazing, I can't get enough of rewatching her audition.

Today I'll go to her house to congratulate her. It'll be the first time we'll meet since she came back from Greensboro. As I make my way there, I keep thinking about how successful she'll be. With that voice of hers, who wouldn't, right?

When I get to the door, I knock and Mike opens it. When he sees me, a big smile makes its way to his lips. "Come in, Y/N. Lauren is upstairs, I am sure she'll be happy to see you."

"Thanks, Mike!" I hug him and run upstairs. Lauren's door is closed, so I knock in a pattern that I know she recognizes.

"Come in, Y/N!" Lauren tells me and I do as she said. I enter the room and close the door behind me. I then look at Lauren, who is sitting on her bed. I grin at her and she smiles weakly. 'Something's wrong...' I think to myself as I walk to her.

"Hey there, jaguar. What's with the sad face? You got the four yeses!" I say, sitting beside her and throwing my left arm over her shoulders.

"Uh, yeah. I was just... Thinking. That's all." Lauren replies while looking down.

"I know you since we were eight, Jauregui. I know when something's wrong." I frown. "Spill."

Lauren takes in a deep breath. "They said... They said that people shouldn't enter this industry with a same gender relationship. Or something that reassembles that. It makes fame harder and attracts bad publicity and even worse labels."

"Oh wow..." I furrow my eyebrows. I don't like where this is going. "And why are you so worried? I mean, c'mon, you're not even in a relationship."

"Our friendship reassembles the one of a couple, Y/N. All you have to do is look at our pictures." Lauren states, making my heart almost stop.

"Go on." I encourage, making her sigh.

"I think it will be better if we just... Stay away from each other." With that, I start to tear up.

"You mean that you're putting an end to this? To our friendship? To this bond that we've been building since we were eight?" I ask with tears already all over my face and she nods. God, she just... Nods.

"I know it hurts, but... It's my dream, Y/N. I can't lose it. Not when I am so close to accomplishing it. I thought you would understand." Lauren looks down and I get up.

"I do understand, Lauren! I just... It's just... It's hard for me, okay?!" I say, my voice cracking. "Until some time ago, you were my o-only friend! And the sister I never got the chance to have because you know how shitty my siblings are! A-And now y-you're going to just..." I sigh and take in a deep breath. "I love you, Laur. I love you with all my heart and soul. And you're asking me to let you go."
