I fell in love with my best friend.

The Talk.

I REALLY LIKE THIS COVER AND THOUGHT WITH WHAT WENT ON, FIT WELL I GUESS

*Lauren's POV*
I carried on crying into Rye's chest. "Its okay. I'm here. Always." Me and Brook had kept having arguments. We have been quite distant recently. Probably because we had drunk nights and went home with some one other than each other. It was a week ago and I really miss Brooklyn. I want to apologise but I'm afraid he won't accept it. We both slept with out best friends. He slept with Kaitlyn and I with Rye. I forgive Kaitlyn because I can't stay mad at her. She's amazing. But we've only known each other for about two and half years. Brooklyn and Rye, three. I had turned to Brooklyn to say I'm sorry but I could never seem to talk to him. I couldn't find the words. I asked the other members and they said to leave him and give him time. Since the whole thing had happened, me and Rye had been quite close. Closer than ever I suppose. "I miss him Rye." I said, still sobbing into his jumper. He stroked my hair and that made me smile like crazy. I never knew how much I liked Rye. Me and Rye were alone in his own apartment away from everyone. He wanted to spend time with me. Over the months, our bond grew closer and stronger than ever before. "Hey, it's fine. Don't worry about him."
"I can't Rye. Three months ago, we went on our first date. Last week, we broke up. Brooklen is over Rye. We need to tell the viewers. We have to." I sit up and Rye's face seemed to get closer to me. I could feel the warm air of his breath on my cheeks. He moved closer, but before we could kiss, the door went. I didn't want to kiss him at this moment but he did. I could see it in his face. "I'll get it." He got up and answered the door. "Can I speak to Lauren?" I heard a familiar voice. "She's in the front room." I then saw my best friend, Kaitlyn. I got up and walked over to her, giving her a hug. I almost start to cry again. "Lauren, I am so sorry. I didn't realise you two were a thing. What can I do?" I laugh and her face goes serious. "Kaitlyn, stop. You don't need to do a thing. Honestly. It's fine. I'm over it." She looked at me. "Are you sure you're over it? Your eyes are red and puffy..?" I look over at Rye and he smiles. "Well maybe not Brooklyn...but honestly. It's fine." She smiles and ushers me into a hug. We talk for a while about what had been happening. Then I ask a question "has Brooklyn been round at yours?" She looks at me.
"A couple times...." her voice trails off.
"Oh."
*Later on in the day//Rye's POV*
Andy came round to see if Lauren was feeling all right after last week. I still haven't had my chance to kiss her. After Andy had left, I go and sit down next to Lauren on the sofa. "So. What did Andy have to say?"
"He said that Brooklyn wants to talk but I don't know if I'm ready for it."
"I'll support you. I'll be sat right next to you...holding your hand." I look away as she looks at me. She then smiles and says "Okay. I guess I'll go." I see her get her phone out and Swipe left on "Mine 🙈💗👫🔐." My heart drops. Has she found someone already? I then read some of the messages carefully and see that they are past messages of herself and Brook. She types out a message "Im down to talk...I guess x."
She doesn't change his name. I feel she has feelings for Brooklyn still. I don't blame her. She looked really happy around him.
*The talk//Lauren's POV*
I knock onto the boys' door and Kaitlyn answers the door. I walk in and Rye follows closely. We sit down on the sofa with Andy. He hugs me. I smile then look at Brooklyn. "I wanted to talk about last week...." I can already feel my tears. Rye gets a hold of my hand and stokes it with his thumb. "I think that it is for the best just to be friends...give us time to think about what happened I guess. We can rebuild our friendship, but right now, we can just set that aside." I feel the tears running down my face. Not too many. Brooklyn walks up to me and gives me a hug. "Its for the best." I look at him and his eyes twinkle. I see tears run down his face. I hug him back and hang on for a second. "I agree." I say slowly. I turn to Rye and he hugs me. We walk out the door slowly. Rye holds my hand. "Well that's over with. You two were great together. Maybe you will find your special someone soon." She hugs me and we make our way back to my apartment.
