The New Bodyguard

Chapter 4 - Past

Lauren's P.O.V.

When I got to my room, I quickly changed out of my clothes and went straight to bed.

The room was alright, it was big and it's smells good! The bed is also king-sized. I flopped on my back and stared at the ceiling for awhile.

Then I found myself missing my mom.

Before I knew it, I was already reminiscing...

(Past Lauren will be talking in italics.)

I remember when we, the Jaureguis, were just a normal family. Father is busy with his business but never forgot to go home and play the role of a father. My mother is always at home playing and taking care of me.

Every weekend, father never forgot to take us out. Mother would look nervous but father would just kiss the nervousness away. I've always aspired to grow up just like my father.

We all got along so well, you would never suspect what would happen next...

Its finally weekend and we can go out as a family. Its raining hard tonight but I'm still so excited because after this father would finally let me come to his office. He promised that after I turned 15, he would introduce me to his work.

I got up from our living room couch to prepare before father would arrive. I wore my usual outfit, just a band tee with ripped jeans. After looking myself at the mirror I got my leather jacket and went downstairs.

But something is wrong I heard my mom practically shouting "What do you mean your wife knew? I am your wife!" I stopped in the stairway feeling the tears beginning to form in my eyes "I don't love her, your the one I love-" I saw my father trying to hold my mom down when she slapped her across his face.

"You said you would divorce her!" My mom continued to punch my father's chest when he hugged her close.

This is the first time I ever saw them fight. They were always showing me that love is such a beautiful thing and never fought. So after seeing this I can't help the tears fall down my eyes. Does this mean father has another family?

He kept on hugging her trying to calm her down but mom got out and ran outside the house. Father and I quickly followed suit and saw my mother entering our car.

"NO DON'T DO THIS!" I saw my dad bang the car window but my mom kept on driving.

She left and I looked at my dad. I saw him look at his phone and went back inside the house and got to his office.

I got angry and ran to my bike to follow my mom.

Why is he like this I hate him so much! Is his business more important than his family?! I hate him!

While I was following mother a car nearly bump into me causing me to lose balance and land on a patch of grass.

"Shit aagh-" I felt my whole body get trampled and I can already feel the bruises forming. I was holding my sides trying to stand up but when I already did I saw my mom's car flipped over just across the freeway...

I was snapped back to reality when I felt tears falling from my eyes to my cheeks. "What the fuck?" I asked myself with a fake laugh trying to ease the pain.

I checked the clock and its already 4 in the morning. Great I didn't get any sleep. So I got up and showered real quick. I almost forgot to change into my uniform until I remembered I will be attending highschool...again.

After I finished changing, I went downstairs to eat breakfast.

When I got to this mansion I never really got the chance to look around. This place seem awfully familiar, I don't know it's like I've been here before...

I was sucked out of my thoughts when I heard clattering at the kitchen. I quickly went there and saw a girl wearing a chef hat picking up the kitchen utensils from the floor.

I ran to her and quickly sat to try and help. Then when I tried to grab the spatula she did the same and our hands touched. She saw me and immediately jumped backwards "Pervert..." I heard her say under her breathe.

What I'm a pervert? I just helped this girl. I got up and looked at her. I mean, I don't want any bad first impression on my first day here at the mansion. So I got close to her and extended my hand for her to accept but she just looked at me disgusted. What the fuck is wrong with this lady?

I sighed "Hey, I just helped you at least say thanks." She looked away and took my hand. I pulled her and accidentally pulled her too close making us almost lose balance and fall but I got her.

"I'm sorry about that-" I cut myself when I saw her blushing like crazy. I mean it wouldn't hurt to tease "See you can be cute." I said with a smile.

She backed away. Aww I thought she looked cute blushing like this "Hey, new kid is that how you talk to your senior." I raised my hand getting playful "You're my senior? You look young tho." I whispered the last part.

She had this disbelief in her face "For your information, I'm the head chef of this mansion. Lucy Vives."

Lucy huh? What a nice name. I guess I should stop teasing her.

I nodded and introduced myself "Lauren, Lauren Jauregui." I smiled and she simply smiled back.

I looked at my watch and noticed that I'm supposed to go to school earlier than Camila to not raise suspicion.

Lucy noticed and handed me a sandwich. I said a quick thanks and excused myself.

I got to my car and headed to school.

I'm not one to say that my highschool experience is memorable. Literally, my whole years as a highschool student is either me hiding or me just existing. I'm so glad that I finally finished and live a new life as "no longer highschool Lauren". But now because of my job I have to relive it again. I'm not mad, as long as I can be with Cam- wait am I just going to say Camila?

As I got to the highschool I parked my car and got to school at 6:39. As I was exiting my car I heard a voice...it sounds rather familiar...

"We're through, so stop it Shawn!"
