Chapter 10: Triggering Memories

~Lauren~

I fuss around in my sleep.

These memories.

They're getting me scared.

I only know bits of what happen.

I watch as me and Luis fought, verbally on the street.

"Why would you do that to me?!" I felt myself screaming at him, tears streaming down my face as I stare at him with hurt.

"I was in the moment! I didn't know what I was doing!" He screams back and I took a step forward, slapping him hard across the cheek.

"Oh yeah?! Well fuck you Luis! Fuck you and that fucking whore!" I scream at him but what caught me in surprise was that, he in turn.

Slap me back.

I grab my cheek in pain and look at him with much hatred and hurt that I ever felt toward someone.

"I did it because I never loved you! I never did because I was only using you for the fame!" He yells and I took a step back, shocked to my core about his confection.

"But I loved you." I whisper and turn around, running to the bad part of town.

I turn around in my sleep, my breathing going heavy as I recall some memories.

"You want a smoke?" He asks me and I look at the cigar in his hand, urging me to take it and take a breathe in.

I nodded, I mean I already felt like crap so why not?

I took the cigar and put it on my lips, breathing in the killing machine.

I let go of a breath and felt myself getting loosen, looking at him.

"Better?"

"Very."

I whimper. I wanted to get away from my memories, I didn't wanted to remember but at the same time I wanted to know what happen.

His smile made me feel weak to the knees and I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"I'm Devin." He says and stretches his hand to me to shake.

I shook his hand softly and he grip my hand a bit.

"I'm Lauren."

I started to scream.

His face.

He looks familiar.

So, so familiar.

I scream and scream as memories came at me, bits of bits of memories.

"I'm in a gang Lauren, do you wanna join us?" He asks me and I look at him with wide eyes.

Gang?

No thank you.

"No, I'm good!" I say and gather my stuff before trying to get away.

He grabs my arm, stopping me from escaping.

"Come on Lauren, do it for me?" He says and I suck in a breath.

Get away from me!

I scream some more, my screaming getting louder as memories flooded my brain.

I took the gun in my hands.

I look at him and aimed.

I pulled the trigger.
