Down - Oneshot (Lauren/You)

Down

Once Y/N was finished with her shower, she slid the glass door to the side and stepped into a steamy bathroom. Her mind wasn't thinking straight after what had just happened, after what she had just learned. All that was going through her mind was, 'How could he do that? Why would he do that?'

Before Y/N knew it, her body was dried, a towel wrapped around her and tucked underneath her arms. She looked around for her clothes, but realized she had forgot to bring any in with her. She didn't really think about the fact that she was about to enter the hotel room with nothing but one article covering her naked body, let alone that Lauren was out there waiting for her.

Opening the door, she headed towards her duffle that was on the chair in the opposite corner of the room. However, she bumped into someone at the end of the small hallway, seeming to surprise the shorter girl. The only light in the room was emitting from the bathroom, allowing Y/N to clearly see Lauren and her concerned, yet admiring expression.

Lauren wasn't expecting Y/N to come out of the bathroom that fast. She had just recently heard the water shut off, then gave her a little bit to get dressed before she went to check on her. The sound of the door opening didn't register in her mind until their bodies had touched, rendering her speechless.

When Y/N had initially walked into the room earlier that night, she was all bloody. Lauren had saw the cuts and bruises on the girl's face, then soon after saw blood on her hands. She asked her what had happened, but all the other girl said was that she needed to go shower.

Now that there was no more blood, Lauren could see Y/N's skin more clearly, and noticed that there weren't many blemishes. However, there were still more than Lauren would prefer. Everything that went on in her own room earlier was a blur to Lauren, which she was honestly grateful for. Not remembering how far he had gone was okay with her. She was just thankful Y/N had gotten there in time, before he had gotten too far. However, not remembering that also means she doesn't remember him hitting Y/N.

The two looked at each other with two completely different, yet similar expressions. Lauren held nothing but adoration and worry for Y/N, so grateful that she was blessed with such a person in her life. Y/N felt so much on the inside while looking at Lauren, but only showed a bit of sadness.

Y/N hated that she didn't catch him sooner. If she would've just done her own once-over in the hallways beforehand, then she might have seen him wandering and taken care of it. But no, she trusted her colleague that had the night shift, because he was good at his job.

Or so she thought.

When Y/N went downstairs to talk to her fellow security guards and her boss after the whole ordeal, she had found out something that chilled her to the bone. Her colleague, the one that was supposed to protect the girls, had taken a bribe from the 'fan' so he could go and see his idol. When Y/N figured that out, she didn't see anything but red. Her conscious zoned back in not long after, seeing two people holding her back from a body that lay on the ground, clearly beaten. She had only knocked him out, but his skin was still pretty damaged. Y/N looked down and saw blood all over her hands, and it didn't take long for her to realize what had happened.

The people holding Y/N let her leave when she bolted for the door, knowing she was back to her normal self. They knew she'd be in her room all night and that she'd be doing her job first thing in the morning, so they could find her when they needed to talk to her about this. But for now, they were going to handle the corrupt security guard.

Now, somehow everything that had happened left Y/N's mind as she got lost in Lauren's green eyes. This wouldn't be the first time Y/N had gotten hypnotized when looking into the other girl's orbs. Lauren just had such a powerful stare, causing Y/N to fall victim to it multiple times. More times than she'd like to admit.
