Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

Phone Call

Normani's  P.O.V

"Ally, why would you tell her where I live?" I say.

After Lauren left, and I calmed down, I called Allyson. I can't believe what happened with Lauren. I didn't expect myself to get so angry but I still can't get over what she did to me. She hurt me so bad that it isn't just that easy to get over. I know it's been almost 8 years but I can't stop thinking about that day whenever I see Lauren. I can't stop thinking about how I found her.

I never thought I would be without her. I thought by now Lauren and I would have been married and have Maya and maybe some other kids. I never thought I'd look at the woman I love and feel such heart ache and anger. We're supposed to be happy together, not separated and arguing.

"I'm sorry Mani. I thought you two needed to talk and this would be the best way."

"Yeah well it didn't turn out so well."

"I know. Lauren told me what happened. But she told me you weren't going to let her see Maya." She says. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and say.

"I never said that. Well not exactly. I was angry Ally, I might have said anything. But this is complicated. Maya doesn't know about Lauren. I can't just drop this on her like that."

"I know Mani but it's not fair to keep her away now that she knows about Maya."

"I know. I don't want to but how do I get them to spend time together?"

"Just tell her she's your friend. Let Lauren hang out with you guys. I know Maya isn't going to hang out with a stranger by herself so maybe you should let Lauren spend time with the both of you."

"…I guess, but right now I don't want to talk to her. I feel like such an ass for the way I acted. I don't know what happen. I thought that when I saw her again it would be like seeing an old friend or something. I didn't expect all the hurt and anger to start flooding back."

" I know it was hard seeing her again but…you two have to work something out. You and I both know Lauren isn't just going to keep staying away from Maya." Ally says and I sigh because I know she's right

"I know Al…"

"Just call her Mani. Maybe not now, but soon you have to fix this."

"Okay. But I'll let you go now, I have a few things to think about."

"Okay. Well tell Maya I said hi and call me later okay?"

"Okay, bye Ally."

"Bye."

After I get off the phone with Ally, I go make Maya a snack for when she's done practicing.

I have no clue what to do. I didn't really mean to just go off on Lauren like that. It just happened. I still feel all those emotions I felt the day I found her cheating on me. I did my best to forget Lauren and it worked out for the most part. But I remember the first time I saw Maya all I could think about was Lauren. Then the older she got the more I saw it and the more she acted like her.

I love my daughter to pieces. She's my world and I don't know where I would be without her. But I'm afraid of what this might do to her, to us. She may be angry with me for never really telling her about Lauren when she asked a few months ago.

~Flashback~

Yes I'm finally off work. I don't know why today seemed so long or why I'm even in a rush to leave. But I'm happy I'm finally off and now I can go spend time with my favorite person.
