Let Me Fix You (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 35

PLEASE READ!!!!! Hey guys!!! Well I'm going to skip the rest of the interview with Ellen just bc nothing important happens.

Lauren's POV

FEBRUARY 24th the next year

Today is a horrible day for me, and supposed to be for my family. Right now my parents are both at work and my sister is out some where being social. I don't even think they realize what day it is.

I'm still in New York but I'm not on Broadway anymore. I quit after the first couple of months. I always thought that Broadway would be what I loved and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but I was wrong. I want to do something fun, something that I enjoy. And I realized, I wasn't doing broadway because I wanted to be there. I was on Broadway because that's the future my parents wanted for me. My parents weren't as mad as I thought they would be, when I told them I quit. I told them I wanted to tour, write my own music and just be with my friends again. Broadway was work not fun. MagCon was fun, that's what I love doing. Going around the country being able to meet my fans, the people who have supported me through everything. So I joined 26MGNT with Hayes, Nash, Cameron, and Carter. No Hayes and I are not dating. He has a girlfriend named Jordan who is a year older than us, and a secret bitch. Hayes only sees the perfect, nice, kiss up Jordan, but as soon as Hayes is gone she turns into a mean, rude, back stabbing bitch. But he's happy so I'm happy. I'm still single along with the rest of the 26MGNT guys.

Right now we are in NY for comic con. And I don't think I'm going to go. I'm sitting in my house just staring at walls. I've been so depressed these last few days, you don't even understand. I haven't been able to deal with it so I've been taking my moms alcohol and usually just having one glass, I drank the whole bottle. I was quickly brought into a different reality. Everything was funny. I couldn't stop giggling. Nothing would happen, if I sat down I would laugh if I opened the front door, I would laugh. Everything was funny.

I was trashed. Completely and utterly drunk. I walked out of the house without a clue where I was going, not knowing where I would end up.

Hayes' POV

I was sitting in the 'living room' of the hotel room with Nash when someone knocked on my door.

I opened it and saw Lauren standing there just looking lost. When she saw me she just laughed, almost to the point where she almost fell over.

"Hayes who is it?" Nash asked from the other room.

"Um...Lauren, but she's different." I said and he came walking into the doorway, and she just started laughing even harder. She had bags under her eyes and her hair was a mess. Nash looked at me and picked her up. She didn't scream and yell like she normally would have she just laughed. It seems like all she can do is laugh.

Nash set her body down on the couch and I walked over.

"She's drunk." Nash said plainly.

"What do you mean she's drunk. It's 2:00PM and she's 17. There has to be something else." I said looking down at her, not wanting to believe that the little innocent 17 year old with the beautiful voice, the girl who I once fell for would be stupid enough to put her whole career on the line to be drunk.

"Hayes! She's completely trashed! I know that's not what you want to hear but she's gonna be like this for a while. We can't just let her walk back to her house. Let her sleep it off." He said and I kneeled down next to her.

"Lauren?" I whispered slowly

"Yesss?" she slurred

"Are you drunk?" I asked slowly

She just laughed and said "I only had a couple drinks."

"How many is acouple?" Nash pipped in

"I don't know. I had a glass yesterday and I had the rest of the container to-today." she said slowly stuttering having trouble getting the words out

Nash slapped his forehead and I took her hand.

"You have pretty eyes." Lauren said trying to poke me in the eye.

"Okay that's enough. I'm taking you into my room and your gonna sleep." I said swatting her hands away from my eyes.

"Okay." she said and as I picked her up she just collapsed in my arms. She fell asleep almost instantly when I put her into the bed.

"Jordan's on the phone dude." Nash said with an annoyed tone coming into the room we share.

"Dude I know you don't like her, but I do so be nice." I said getting annoyed that none of the guys like my girlfriend.

"She's a slut. And she wants to know if your home." he said totally ignoring me about being nice.

"She's not a slut, and can you tell her I'm out I need to take care of Lauren." I said putting my attention to the girl sleeping in my hotel bed.

"Okay. Just sayin bro, you may like Jordan, but you will never be over Lauren. And it's pretty obvious." Nash said backing out of the doorway.

"Me and Lauren are just friends. We don't like each other anymore. Okay?" I said

"I don't buy it. If she's not over you, why hasn't she gone out with one of the super hot dudes constantly chasing her and begging for her picture?" Nash said leaving.

"Because she's waiting for the right guy!" I called out to him. And quickly covered my mouth remembering Lauren was sleeping.

"You were that guy! Remember?" Nash yelled back.

For the rest of the day I just say in my room, watching Lauren sleep off the drinks she had earlier in the day and think about what Nash had said.

His words kept running through my mind when suddenly Lauren was calling my name snapping me out of my trance.

"Huh?"

"You still have listening issues. And I asked how and why I am in your hotel room?" She said confused

"You were drunk and walked here. And I wasn't going to take a chance and let you walk back home so that leads us to now." I said stating the obvious of what has went on in the last couple of hours leaving out details of me still trying to keep up with my feelings for either Lauren or Jordan.

"I have such a headache." She said

"Ya that happens when you get as drunk as you were. Why would you drink? Why would you get drunk like that?" I said almost mad

She looked down. " Because. And why do you care huh? It's not your career on the line and it's not your life. So why don't you stay out of my business and what I do to get over the one year death of my brother." She said and ran out.

I sat there in complete shock. Today is the one year anniversary of her brother being dead. How could I have forgot that. February 24th at 3:52PM, the day her older brother, her inspiration, her world, had died. Just thinking about that day makes me sad. Remembering the shattered expression on her face that was left when she had been told that Shawn Andrew Jonstone, had died.

Lauren's POV

As I ran out of their hotel room and back to my house across town. All the memories flooded my brain. Getting home from school with Hayes and my mother and sister balling. Not knowing what we were going to the hospital for. Nash's grip on my wrist the day I thought my brother had lived. His words echoing through my brain. Shawn didn't make it. Didn't make it.

Those 3 words were echoing through my head when I crossed the busy street to get to my house. Tears streaming down my face. Not caring enough to look at what cars were coming, I ran into the road.

*BOOM* I felt my body being thrown down onto the pavement. My head hit last. I heard the smashing noise of my head onto the ground.

"Lauren! Lauren! Laur-"

That was the last I heard before it all went black.
