"Hey y/n and Lauren, can I speak to you guys for a second?"

After that last question in me and Lauren's roommate tag, I got a little heated and ended up turning the camera off and taking the footage straight to Sam.

"Yeah what's up?" Lauren says

"Umm, the footage you guys filmed last night... it was... interesting" he says

"Yeah about that" I say

"I'm sorry my roommate can be a little immature most of the time" Lauren says

"Guys is there a problem because-"

"No. There's no problem" I say

"Lauren?" He asks

"...Yeah were fine" she says rolling her eyes

"Umm ok well, I cant use the footage you guys filmed. We'll be somewhere in South America tomorrow so when ever you guys have time, please get me something better ok?" Sam says

"Yeah were sorry again" I say

"It's fine just hurry" Sam says as he walks away

"And look what you did, now Sams mad at us" I say

"Don't start" She reply's as she drags her suitcase toward the lobby

"Lauren! We need to talk about this!" I say catching up to her

"Ok fine. Are you gay." She says

"That's not fair, you can't ask me that" I say as I pull her to a corner

"Stop hiding from it" she says

"Stop trying to force me out" I say

"Force you! Baby you jumped out the moment you kissed me back" she says trying to walk away

"It's not your business" I say pulling her back

"You made it my business when you hooked up with me... and when you made me have feelings" she says

"I didn't mean-"

"Didn't mean what?" She says

"You kissed me, you told me you wanted me, you. Never once did I act like I wanted anything different" shes says

"I know" I say

"But when a smiley British boy comes and intimidates you, you push me away. That's not fair."

"I know... I'm sorry" I say

"I shouldn't have- I... I don't know what to say" I say

"Look, I get it, it can be hard being true to yourself but, I don't know if I can be with someone who doesn't know what they want"

"... I want you" I say

She then just stares at me. Searching my profile for some sort of sign. She looks like she's battling her mind.

"Hey y/nn, the bus is loading- oh, is everything-"

"Yeah ry we're coming" I say

He then turns to Lauren because they had formed some sort of bond. And he cared about her too.

Lauren's POV

"Hey lo, are you ok?" Ryan asks

"Yeah" I respond

I had spent the last, what felt like minutes but in reality, was probably seconds, staring at this girl- this women who had engulfed me completely. The way she moved drew me in and breaking whatever we had off was one of the toughest things I've ever done. I've only known her for a few days and I already can't imagine my life without her but, she's so confused. And I don't know if I can do confused right now.

I need something stable, something I can depend on. But I want her.... I just don't want to get hurt.

"LAUREN!" Ryan yells

"What?!?" I say jumping out of my daze

"Let's go" He says

"Oh, yeah ok" I say as I follow him and y/n

Y/n POV

Lauren hadn't looked at me since our talk. I was confused out of my mind but, something about her made things clearer.

I had found Ruth and Jai at some point and we stuck together for the rest of the day. We were now sitting on the floor at the airport, waiting for our plane.

"Hey Jai" I say

"Yeah" He says

"You wanna know something no one else in the world knows about me? Not even Ruth"

"Uhh YEAH. Tell me I'm great with secrets" he says

"... I think I'm bisexual"
