Boy Next Door (Lauren Cimorelli love story)

Bailing. Suffering. Hating.

Lauren's Pov

"Wake up Laur." Some voice said

"Go awaaaay." I groaned and dug myself further into my pillow, not wanting to face today.

"We have a meeting today so get your butt out of bed before our sisters yell at you." The voice ordered.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw my little sister looking down at me. I have no desire to leave my bed, it's the place I'm isolated from almost everyone...especially Keegan. I still can't believe he cheated on me with that girl, I want to believe that he didn't kiss her back but I don't think I can.

"I'll be down in a minute Dani." I assured as I got up and walked to my closet.

She nodded and left me alone, just me and my thoughts. I took out a random pair of black tights and threw them onto my bed along with a white tanktop. I was looking for a sweater that I could wear when I saw Keegan's sweatshirt he gave to me the night of the bonfire. It brought back so many memories my eyes started to well up with tears. I miss his touch, his electric blue eyes, his beautiful smile, his soft and smooth brown hair, the way he would hold me when we were together, his hugs that made me feel safe, how he always smelt so good, how his laugh could brighten up my day, how when he was embarrassed or nervous he would bite his lip, and the way his lips felt against mine. I sighed and I threw it onto the bed along with everything else. I got dressed and I felt comfortable and safe in his sweater. I don't know why, I was extremely hurt and upset because of him but it just felt like he was still here with me and he never left me in the first place. I opened the door and walked downstairs to where all my sisters were sitting in the living room. I sat down next to Dani and buried myself against her as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

"We're leaving for the meeting in a few minutes but we have to tell you something first Laur." Christina began.

I nodded and she continued, "After you ran downstairs yesterday I asked Keegan if he ever at anytime kissed Alana back." She explained and I nodded again burying myself even further into Dani's side.

"He said, No, I would never to that to Lauren. Laur, he looked me straight in the eyes when he said that. After he heard what you yelled out he ended the call almost immediately. I know you think he kissed her back but you need to at least try and give him a chance to explain." She finished sincerely.

"He cheated, why does it matter anymore?" I said with a hint of venom in my voice.

"Because we know you still love him..." Lisa said carefully.

"No I don't." I declared.

"Then why are you wearing his sweater?" Amy asked.

"Because I like it?" I said.

"I'm worried about him guys..." Dani spoke up all of a sudden.

"Go on Dani..." All of us urged her on quizzically.

"Remeber how he cut before? I think he may start again because of how miserable he is. I've tried texting him like twenty times and he hasn't replied, he always replies even if he's mad at me or sad." She explained with sadness in her voice.

No one knew what to say so we stayed quiet. I pulled out my phone and looked at all of the notifications. 20 missed texts, 34 missed calls, 2 posts by @KeeganParker I unlocked my phone and went to the calls first. All 34 were from him and in each he was begging me to let him explain and how miserable he was without me and how sorry he was and more. Then I went to the texts:

6:17 AM K: Lauren, I want to explain everything to you please reply.

6:20 AM K: I love you and I really want to fix things.
