Fifth Harmony One Shots

Secret Love Song (Lauren/You)

Y/N's POV

Lauren and I were making out in an empty dressing room at the Ellen Show. The girls were performing and doing an interview with Ellen. Lauren and I were in an empty room because she doesn't want anyone to know we're dating. It sometimes hurts to be kept a secret. I get that Lauren isn't ready to tell the world, but she won't even tell her family or the other girls. The thought was starting to bother me again, so I pulled away.

" What's wrong?" Lauren asked me with swollen lips.

" It's nothing. I'm just not in the mood anymore." I said to her with a sigh. I heard her sigh and sit back against the couch. We were in silence for a while until it became unbearable for me.

" Are you ever going to tell your family or the girls?" I asked her, and she sighed. We've had this conversation many times, and it always leads nowhere. I know it may cause an argument, but I can't keep living this way. It's hard when you're dating someone famous. So many people know who she is so we can't be seen anywhere together. We can't go out to dinner or a movie because she's afraid someone will see us.

" We've talked about this already, Y/N." She said to me, and I sighed again.

" I know Lauren, but I can't keep living like this. You will barely sit close to me when anyone is around. Everyone thinks we're friends. I love you, Lauren, but it's starting to put a strain on me." I said to her, and she stood up abruptly.

" Why can't you respect my decision? I don't want to tell anyone. I'm not ready." She said to me, and I knew she was upset that I was bringing it up again.

" I have respected your decision, Lauren. We've been dating for almost a year in secret now. It's becoming really hard for me. I'm not trying to force you to tell the world, but I know your family and the girls will accept you no matter what. They all love you." I said pleadingly. I stood up and tried to grab her hand, but she yanked it away.

" If it's becoming too hard, then maybe we should break up." She said, and my face dropped.

" Lauren, that's not what I want. I want to be with you. I want to tell everyone about how I love you. I want to shout it from the rooftops. I want to be able to hold your hand and kiss you without hiding. I want to hold you without the fear that someone will find out or walk in on us. I want everyone to know I'm yours and that you're mine." I said to her, and she crossed her arms. I walked closer to her, and she didn't pull away. I pulled her body into mine and rested my forehead against hers. I felt her relax against my touch and sigh. I was about to lean in to kiss her when I heard the door open and someone says oh. Lauren pulled away quickly and looked wide-eyed towards the door. It was Dinah, and she stared wide-eyed at us both.

" I was coming to tell you that we have five minutes until we go out there. What did I walk in on?" Dinah asked, and I stood there, not knowing what to say. I looked over at Lauren, hoping that she would finally tell Dinah about everything now that she walked in on us, almost about to kiss. I didn't expect what came next. I felt a sharp pain in my cheek, and I realized that Lauren had slapped me. I looked at her in shock at what she just did.

" I can't believe you tried to kiss me. I don't like you like that." She said to me and tears sprang to my eyes. She would instead hit me and pretend that I tried to kiss her instead of admitting the truth. I could see the regret in her eyes, but she didn't apologize. Instead, she ran out of the room, and Dinah watched her run out. Dinah turned towards me with wide eyes.

" Y/N, are you okay?" She asked me while stepping towards me. I put my hand out to stop her.

" I'm fine. I'm going to go." I said and rushed out of the room. I heard Dinah call my name again, but I kept running. I ran into the girls leaving their dressing room, and they all stopped to stare at me. Lauren was with them, and she couldn't look me in the eyes.
