Lauren stays silent, clearly taken aback from my outburst. I sigh and run my hands down my face. "So this is my final question for you before I walk out this door." I say and she looks up at me with an unreadable expression, her beautiful eyes pouring pure sadness and uneasiness. "Do you wanna keep me? Or let me leave you?"

Y/N's POV:

I watch as every little feature of Lauren's face drops, her eyes showing an unreadable expression. She looks at me for a couple minutes, just staring with that blank stare and on her face. I start to feel a little weird and/or uncomfortable so I shift on my feet and Lauren seems to notice. "Y/N....Y-you told me that you'd wait for me." She says, her voice clear that she's desperate at this point. "And I have been. I told you as long as possible, and right now babe, is my limit. So, love me or leave me?" I say and ask her the question once again, not even knowing what I want her answer to be at this point. 

She stays quiet with her head down and I just sigh and roll my eyes. "Look Lauren. When you answer this question, no matter what your answer will be, I will always be here for you. I will always care for you and love you. Me even asking you to answer this question is the hardest thing I've ever done. But my time is up, and your time is up. "Cant you wait a little longer?" She asks, finally looking in my eyes and I sigh and shake my head. "Laur, I've been waiting for longer than a month. I gave you more than a month to figure yourself out like you asked. Now, I need you to answer this question so I can leave. I sadly have other places to be." I say and she quickly snaps her head up to meet me, her eyes immediately locking with mine. 

"Where do you have to be?" She asks with curiosity in her voice. I sigh for the millionth time today, knowing I cant lie to her. "I'm going to Ariana's after this." I say and her whole expression changes, her eyes building with fury. Pure anger. "Oh." She says, but I can hear her anger in her tone. Her fists clench and I know I need to do something before she snaps. I quickly think about what to do before remembering how I calmed her while we were dating. I mean we still are dating but still. I quickly straddle her hips, taking her clenched fists in my hands before pulling them above her head, forcing her to lay down on her back. Her legs were already spread so I un-straddle her and lean down, looking her eyes before leaning down to her lips. 

I capture her lips in mine and she immediately kisses back with such passion it gives away that she's more desperate than I thought she was. I break the kiss before it could get any more intense. I open my eyes to see hers still closed, her breathing erratic but for a different reason this time. She finally opens her eyes and I feel myself smile as I get lost in her emerald pools. "Y/N... I-I t-think it's best if we s-split w-w-ways." She says, her voice shaky and nervous for my reaction. But all I do is nod, looking down as I feel my heart fall to my feet, the darkness taking over the spot. 

I slowly get off her, getting up from the bed as silence takes over the room the whole time. "Ok. That's fine." I say and I fix my clothes. "I'll uh-nevermind I'll just go." I say and turn to leave the room, I'm almost at the door before I hear shuffling and am suddenly turned around and pushed against the door. "I'm sorry. I love you, I promise. But I'm not ready yet." She says and I nod, looking down. "And I understand. I love you too." I say and look back up. She looks at me desperate and I sigh, leaning in and connect our lips once more before pulling away. "I guess I'm leaving you with the aftertaste." I say and the turn back around, opening the door and leaving her room without another word. 

I walk back downstairs and open the front door as I hear quick footsteps behind me. I turn around slowly, praying that it's not Lauren. To my luck, it isn't, but it is the one and only Camila Cabello. "Y/NN, gonna leave without saying goodbye?" She says playfully and I chuckle, opening my arms for her. She quickly rushes to me and wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me close. "Sorry about that. I just have somewhere to be." I say and she pulls back from my neck, looking at me. "Where are you going?" She asks and I smile slightly. "Ariana's." I say and her features light up, her eyes filling with happiness. "Ariana! My wife!" She yells and I laugh, pulling away from the hug as I see the time on my watch. 

"Yes, your wife." I say with a chuckle. "Anyways, I've got to get to her place before it's too late. I'll see you soon okay?" I say and she nods, standing on her tippy toes to peck my cheek. "Okay Y/NN, see you soon." She says as she pulls away and I give her a smile and a wink before leaving the Fifth Harmony household. I walk to my car and get in, turning it on and putting my seatbelt on. "To Ariana's I go." I mumble to myself, pulling off towards her place.

*Skip Drive*

I pull to the side, seeing the occasional paparazzi that are weirdly always out here. Can't they just leave the poor girl alone? I just shrug, thinking she's probably used to it by now. Since my windows are tinted and I have some song lyrics stuck in my head since Lauren and I's altercation, so I grab my lyric book that I always keep with me and take the pencil out, opening to a new page before beginning to write.

I thought that I've been hurt before

But no one's ever left me quite this sore

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under

But I know that I'll make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover

Move on

You watch me bleed until I cant breathe

Shaking, falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

Tripping over myself, aching, begging you to come help

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

I continue the lyrics but realize the lyrics don't really go with this song. So I skip a page after this one and start a new song to go with the lyrics.

Re-rewind Friday night never forget it

How you let me go

No more lies, I'll be fine 

I know where I'm headed

Probably shoulda known

Now you're gonna say "Pretty please forgive me"

Fooled me once, told you twice your gonna regret it

Now you're all alone, yeah

Turns out that no one can replace me

I'm permanent you cant erase me

I'll help you remember me

One more kiss is all it takes

I'll leave you with the memory

And the aftertaste

I was gonna continue but my phone started to ring. I looked at it to see it was Ariana herself calling me. I answer it and put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I say and she giggles into the phone. "You gonna come in or.." She says and I feel my face heat up as I chuckle. "My bad, I was writing some lyrics that came to my head." I say and I hear a gasp and shuffling on the other end. "Hurry and come in. Oh! And bring your lyric book with you too!" She says and then hangs up. I sigh and chuckle at the girl, pocketing my pencil before grabbing my notebook and turning off my car, getting out. This girl will be the death of me.
