In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 46

[A/N: I was supposed to publish this yesterday but I forgot lol. Hello! Enjoy reading.]

Surprised was an understatement when I saw Lauren in front of my apartment door in this hour, then she suddenly lunged herself to me. She's been crying for a long time now, she keep on muttering the words, I'm sorry. I don't have any idea why she is being like this but I felt like her and Dr. Jauregui had an arguement. I'm just going to ask her when she feels like talking about it.

I keep running my fingers on her locks and keep humming a song as her breathing pattern became normal again. She's still on my lap, straddling me. While my other hand is wrap on her waist protectively.

A soft snore is escaping her lips, meaning she had fallen asleep. She still have her hands clutch on my shirt while her thick eyebrows are furrowed. I place a kiss in between her eyebrows and I can see her facial expression becoming calm.

My sister's room flew open and I can see the younger one looking down at the floor. "Kin, have you seen my earrin–" I hush my sister and when Hailee looks up, she stops in mid sentence when she noticed the woman in my arms.

She slowly made her way to us and plopped down next to me on the couch. "What happened? Is she okay?" I tucked the strand of hair that's blocking the Latina's face.

I shrug my shoulders at her and sighed. "I actually don't have any idea what happened to her. She just came here five minutes ago, crying so hard." I look down again at Lauren who's nuzzling her face on the crook of my neck.

"Maybe her and her dad fought about something." Hailee stated and frown as she looks at Lauren.

"Maybe. Now, go to sleep. You still have some babysitting to do tomorrow morning." She nodded her head and I place a kiss on her forehead then she bid her good night to me. "Good night, Haiz."

I slowly get up from the couch and lift myself up with Lauren still in my arms. I rests my hands under her knees and I lightly kick my bedroom door open. I gently lay her down on my bed and grab some clothes for her to change.

As I was rummaging inside my closet, I can hear some shifting on the bed then I heard her call for me. "Y/N?" I grab a pair of boxers shorts and a t-shirt.

"Hey," I take a seat on the side of the bed where she is. "Here, go change your clothes. I don't think you will be comfortable enough to sleep while wearing jeans." I gave her a sad smile and I can see her eyes bloodshot and puffy from crying.

She slowly get up from the bed and take the clothes that I'm handing to her. I lean my torso on the headboard and grab my phone on the nightstand. I take this opportunity while Lauren is still in the bathroom, changing. To call her father.

After a few rings, Dr. Jauregui picks his phone up. "Hey, so... Lauren is here, in my apartment. I called you in case you were worried at her or something." He didn't say a word, but I continue to speak and ask him. "Uhm, d-did something happened? She was crying when she went here?" The other line was still silent. So, I sighed in defeat, knowing that he won't talk to me. "I will let her spend the night here, don't worry. I will also bring her back tomorrow."

"Okay," He said then ended the call.

I take a deep breath before placing my phone back on the nightstand. After a few minutes, Lauren went out of the bathroom wearing my clothes. It's kinda bigger on her but she looks so cute when she's wearing my clothes.

I pat the space next to me and she bit her lip anxiously as she climbed back on the bed. Lauren lean her head on my chest then drape her arms on my stomach. "Mind telling me what happened?" I look down to her and her eyes becomes glossy again. I hate seeing her like this. Her eyes are turning in to gray as I look at them carefully.
