Let Me Love You (Lauren Jauregui/You)

Chapter 18

Y/n's pov

Maisie said she was going to try and talk to dad and convince him that this whole situation was not as bad as he was making it out to be. I still refused to try and contact him and she'd become frustrated with how we were all acting so had decided to take it into her own hands. I'm still of the opinion that he and our mother both hate me and have no intentions of ever talking to me again, so have come to accept the fact.

A fact I had not accepted yet though was that Lauren was leaving to continue the tour and I was staying behind to pack up the rest of my stuff and move everything to our apartment in Miami, which won't take too long because half my stuff was already over there, plus I didn't have many personal possessions anyway. All in all, I was about one uncalled for paparazzi comment away from having a mental breakdown, but as usual, acting as though I was fine.

'You've got your flight and stuff booked already right?', Lauren asked, clearly worrying about my capability to be organised in any form.

'Yes, you literally watched me book it', I said rolling my eyes at her.

'Make sure you get there a few hours early so you have enough time to get through security and find the right terminal', we were currently waiting in line at the airport to book in her luggage.

'Lo, you sound like my mother', I informed her, making her roll her eyes at me this time.

'I just want to make sure you get there okay, we both know you're good at being late to things'

'So are you, and this isn't the first plane I've been on by myself Lauren, I know what I'm doing', I pulled her closer to me by her waist, at this point we'd given up trying to hide and had just gone with the doing what we want but nothing confirming anything strategy, 'I'll be fine, stop worrying', I kissed her cheek.

She instantly threw her arms around my neck and buried her head in my neck, 'I'm going to miss you', she muttered.

'I'll miss you too, but you're only on tour for another 2 weeks then you're coming home for 2 months', I reassured both her and myself.

After checking in all the luggage we said goodbye and she left for security and I went back to my car. I sat there for a while, slowly feeling the cloud of sad build over my head, sighing I turned the car and on drove to Maisie's flat to pick up the stuff I had there and see what the situation with my parents was.

------------------------------

'Knock knock', I said walking into my sisters flat.

'You know saying the words 'knock knock' after you've walked in means absolutely nothing', she said from where she sat on a stool at her kitchen island. I just shrugged and walked to her fridge, taking out the first good looking thing I saw, 'Help yourself why don't you', she muttered sarcastically as I turned to face her.

'You're fridge is pretty empty'

'I talked to mum and dad, they don't hate you', she started, ignoring my comments as usual.

'That's what they say', I mumbled.

'They don't, they never did, they were just surprised to see Lauren again', she tried to explain.

'Yeah, so surprised they had to run away instantly'

'Did you really expect them to be totally okay with you getting back together with her? When she left you right when you were at your worst?'

'She didn't have a choice, her career was on the line, and there's plenty of stuff I did to fuck it up too'

'Look at it from mum and dads point of view, all they saw was you, being alone and sad because she left you'
