Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

Meeting New People

Lauren's P.O.V

Fuck! Can I do anything right? Ever? Ugh this is just ridiculous. I walk back into the bar, order a shot and go and sit at a table behind everyone else. I see my song didn't mess up everyone else's time because everyone still seems to be enjoying themselves. No one even noticed I came back but the one person I knew would be worried about me and what just happened. Ally comes and sits in the chair next to me and sighs.

"What happened Lo?" She asks.

"Let's see, I sing Normani that song and she throws my cheating back in my face, I go talk to her, tell her I love her and she doesn't give a shit. Hasn't it been long enough for to forgive what I did?" I say and a waitress brings me my drink and I order another one but Ally tells her to bring a water.

"Why'd you do that?" I ask and down my shot, reveling the way it burns all the way down and feeling its warmth in my stomach.

"Because I'm not letting you get yourself sick over this, now back to the Mani thing. Normani is worse than you when it comes to forgiving and forgetting. Obviously it's hard for her to forgive you because she still loves you but she's afraid to take that chance again."

"Yeah but Ally I was young, I was stupid and I was scared. I would never do that to her again."

"She doesn't know that and you've only been back in her life 2? 3 months? People change and something else could have happened after you. After you, every relationship she's been could have ended the same way, with someone cheating on her."

Okay that makes sense but Normani never said anything like that. She told me she only dated two people after me and they didn't last more than a few months and Maya never even met them so they couldn't have been to serious.

"I don't believe that Ally. She would have said something." I say as the waitress brings my water.

"Drink that." Ally says and I sigh and take a sip.

"You're right. Maybe I'm wrong but Lauren you cheated on her and yes it was a long time ago but the point is, you still did it. Have you two even talked about being in a relationship again?" She asks and I shake my head no.

"But things were going so good Ally."

" I know but maybe you should have talked to her first." She says and I nod.

"So in the last 8 years what has she done? What do you think she's done?" I ask.

"She held on to her anger and resentment towards you. She can't forgive you because she's still angry."

"How do I fix that Ally?" I ask desperately.

"I don't know. That's something she has to do in her own time. She has to learn how to let go of the past." She says and I sigh. She's right. I can't do anymore if Mani can't honestly forgive me. All I can do is wait. Hopefully not very long.

"You're right A, thanks." I say and she smiles and hugs me.

"Sure. I love you and I love Mani and I want you guys to work this out."

"Love you too A."

"Good now drink that water." She says and I drink some more.

It's so funny how she's gotten so much smarter and wiser since she had Bella. Before her Ally would be drunk and half naked right now. I shake my head at thought and really realize how grateful I am to have Ally.

Normani's P.O.V

" Thanks." I say as Liam sits a cup of coffee in front of me.

" No problem. So...you wanna talk about it?" He says and takes a sip of his coffee. I sigh and play with the rim of my cup. I run my finger around the rim over and over and it's mesmerizing and infuriating because it's a fucking circle and that's how my life is.
