Dealing with the devil (Lauren/you)

chapter 17

I answer the phone without thinking why she suddenly called.

"Hello?" I start speaking on the phone "heyyyy babeee" Lucy's voice filled my ears and what she said took me by surprise did she just call me babe? "Excuse me?" I asked and I could hear her laugh on the other line "haa let's meet up tomorrow" she said and I rolled my eyes what does she want now? Wait why do I keep complaining, Lauren you want her back right?. "Why should we meet up?" I said through the phone and wait for her to speak back "becausee I wanna get to know you're girlfriend know I need to know more about my new enemy" my eyes widen at what she last said, enemy? Y/n? What does she even mean by that? Before I could say anything she speaks again "plus I'll bring my boyfie too so it'll be like a double date" she said then chuckled, oh shit she'll bring the guy she cheated on me, and I don't want to be embarrassed again plus me and y/n is not really in good term right now maybe I should tell her that y/n is sick so it'll be cancelled "Lucy I can-" "okay Lauren bye I gotta go now see you tomorrow" before I could speak the line went out. Fuckkkk. What did I just get myself into?
I frustratedly put my phone back to my pocket and stand up, "where you going dear?" Mom asked "I'll go to sleep" I said blankly and went upstairs to my room.

I throw myself on the bed and starts thinking what will I do tomorrow. Or maybe I could you by myself and just tell them that y/n is sick yeah that's what'll I do.

Good luck to myself anyways.

I sigh and drift off to sleep

Your point of view

The night end with me talking to Mom and Ariana till they both fell asleep, I told Ariana that I will be not beside mom when she woke up cause I should go to work but she told me it's all good and she'll take care of Mom. I'm really thankful to have Ariana beside me I could really count on her.

It's 1:10 am and I just got home from the hospital. I walk to my bed and lay down. I took the picture of my family under my pillow and stare at it.

I need to make my mother better cause she's the only one I have I need the money for her and if I want the money I need to prove myself to them to that company. I get myself into something and I need to do my best for my mom I need to prove myself to Mr. Jauregui and to Lauren even if im from a broken family I still need to figure it out cause I'm sure I could be more than just a y/n.

I smile to the picture and put it back under my pillow I take a deep breath and felt a tear escape my eyes.

You're y/l/n prove it

I slowly open my eyes and look at my surroundings, my phone is ringing. Oh it's probably my alarm I grab my phone and turn off my alarm it's 6:00 am and Mr. Jauregui expect me to be there early so I have to get ready now. I stand up from my bed and fix my bed before I went downstairs. I went to the kitchen and open the refrigerator to find something to cook "oh god there's a food shortage here" I said to myself and chuckle I haven't really gotten to supermarket these past days since mom is in the hospital. I closed the ref and find something else to cook. "Ahh found it!" I grab the noodles above the cabinet and prepare it to cook.

I don't know why but I just felt a little hype today.

A few minutes more I'm done eating so I head back to my room and grab a towel to get ready for shower. I hop to the bathroom and remove my clothes.
I open the water and jump a little cause I didn't expect the water was that cold (a/n: when that happens lol)

I went out of the bathroom wrapped by a towel and grab my uniform. I'll be wearing my usual outfit at office a black pencil skirt a white long sleeves and a blazers on top. I fix my clothes a little more and look at myself in the mirror, I smile and starts thinking maybe I could change my look a little bit, I mean they say being yourself is great but a little mascara won't hurt so why not.
