3: Family Dinner

William's POV

" That was weird." Lily said. I just stayed silent." I better go to class." I said and left. After the whole school mom picked us up. Most of my classes are with Lauren and the others.

" We're going to the mall. We need formal clothes cause the Orlando family invited us for dinner tonight." Mom explained.

Of course my siblings are excited. My family are. They don't know Lauren and I dated. I sat back and sunk in my seat.

When I arrived at the mall we got to the formal clothes section and I found a navy blue button up long sleeve. I decided to buy a khaki pants too.

" Let's go." Mom said." Uh, mom. Can we stop by the jewelry? I need to buy something." I said." Sure." Mom answered. We got to our car and drove off to the jewelry store.

" Mom. What do girls like? What kind of jewelry? Is it necklace, bracelet, rings, or earings?" I asked." Depends on what type of a girl you're giving it to." She answered.

I just nodded as we parked at the jewelry store." You guys don't have to come. I'll be back in a minute." I said and head out the door.

I walked in and I was greeted by fans." OMG, William Franklyn Miller. Can I take a picture with you?" The fans asked taking out their phones.

 After taking photos with them they said thank you and go back to their businesses." How may I help you sir?" The lady asked.

"  I'm looking for a ring. not the engagement rings." I said." Right here." She said and lead me to a glass box." I'm looking for more something special." I answered.

" Can you describe what you want?" She asked." It's a mix of black ( like her soul right now ), Yellow ( cause it's her birthstone color and describes her personality that I fell in love with ), and blue ( because it's her favourite color )." I described.

" We have the right one. It's what I think you would like." She said and showed me a matt black ring box with an outline of yellow.

I took it and opened the box.

" It's perfect." I said with a smile." I'll buy this." I said." Right this way sir." She said and lead me to the cashier. I paid for them and head out and in the car.

" You got the perfect jewelry?" Siena asked." I did." I answered. We drove home and changed to our outfits.

After I was done changing I fixed my hair and sprayed my perfume." William. We're leaving." Noah called knocking on my door.

I opened the door holding the ring box." Wow. You're prepared." Noah said smirking and crossing her arms.

I just rolled my eyes and ignored him. We left the house and parked in front of the Orlando's mansion. We all got down and mom knocked on the door.

" I'll get it!" We heard Lauren shouted. The door opened revealing her wearing a NAVY BLUE dress and nude high heels leaving her dirty blond hair down.

 " Hi. Come on in." She greeted smiling at my mother and my siblings." Lauren. You grew up gorgeous." Mom said and gave her a hug." Thank you Mrs. Miller." She said with a smile.

She stepped aside and let us in. I was the last one to come in so I closed the door. We followed Lauren to their dining room.

" Hi. O my gosh I miss you guys." Meredith said placing the last dish on the table before hugging us." We miss you guys too." Mom said.

" It's been so long. Have a seat guys." Meredith said." I know right. Where's Dale and Johnny?" Mom asked." Oh they'll be here any minute. They are just buying a wine and other things." Meredith said.

While our parents talk and my siblings sat down Lauren and I remained standing up. End to end of the table staring at each other without breaking.

" I think we should break up."

" What? No! Don't say that."

" Lauren, I'm moving back to australia and I'll probably never going to see you again."

" William, no."

" I'm very sorry Lauren, I have to go."

Remembering the past made my heart broke. Looking at her made me break to pieces." Hey we're back." Dale said holding a wine while Johnny was holding a paper bag.

They placed it in the kitchen and came back. Lauren and I shared one last look before sitting down.

" Let's eat." Meredith said. We all started eating while our parents talk. We're almost done on eating when mom said something." Well, William here is dating Meika for a year now. Meika Woollard." Mom said proudly.

Johnny dropped his spoon and looked at me shock. On the other hand, Lauren held tight on her fork." Really? Wow, congratulations William." Meredith said." It's good to know you're dating someone. Johnny here is dating Kenzie for three years now. Right son?" Dale asked.

" Yes dad." Johnny said." Wow, he's a keeper. Kenzie is so lucky." Mom said." What about you Lauren? Are you dating someone?" Mom asked. Lauren looked up." I'm not dating anyone. I don't really want to go through heartbreaks." Lauren answered uncomfortable.

" Oh, that's nice to know that you're careful on your decisions." Mom said. Lauren just smiled." Mom, dad, can I be excuse?" Lauren asked." What's the matter Lauren?" Dale asked.

" Nothing. I just need air." She said." Ok." Meredith said." Thanks." Lauren said and run out the room and head to their backyard.

" Can I be excuse too?" I asked standing up." Sure." Mom said. I smiled and run after Lauren. I saw her sitting down at their own porch swing.

She's staring off to nowhere. I gulped hesitating on sitting next to her but I did. I sat next to her without a word.

" It's been so long." I started." What are you doing here?" She asked. We're not looking at each other this time. Her voice was raspy. She's crying. I can tell without looking.

" I'm very, very, very, sorry. I know I made a big mistake. Mistake leaving you. I'm regretting everything." I said." Why now?! When you and your girlfriend are a year now?" She asked.

" Lauren, me and Meika are forced by our managers." I explained now looking at her. Tears falling down her cheeks." I tried moving on. But I can't. You're the only one I see." She said.

" Lauren. You're the only girl I loved. I made a huge mistake choosing career over you." I answered." No, you didn't. Look at you now. Famous and rich and have a girlfriend. I'm just famous and rich, no boyfriend." She said.

" I'm sorry." I said." Sorry is nothing William." She said wiping her tears away." I don't know how I will forgive you. I don't know if I can forgive you. You left me." She said.

" Lauren, listen to me. I didn't want this to happen." I said. I pulled out the ring box out of my pocket." I want to say sorry for everything I did. I hope you can forgive me one day." I said handing her the small box.

" I celebrated birthdays for 6 years remembering our break up. You broke up with me on MY birthday!" She shouted but not too loud for everyone in the house to hear.

" I bought this to make it up to you. It really remind this of you." I said and opened the box to show her the ring.

Lauren looked at it with amuse. I picked it up and held her left hand and slid the ring." I know you can't forgive me right now but hopefully every time you see this you'll be reminded that I'm here." I said looking into her eyes one last time before standing up.

" See you tomorrow." I said and went inside.
