Y/N's POV:

I groan as the sun blinds me, making me shut my eyes and turn my head to the side. I try to roll over as well but something, or someone, blocks me from doing so. I open my eyes and look seeing thee one and only, Lauren fucking Jauregui. All the sudden, everything that happened last night comes back to me, and a wave of guilt and regret fills me to the very tip. "Shit..." I whisper harshly, making Lauren groan and roll to the side, wrapping her arms around me. "Double shit..." I mumble again, trying to figure out how to get out of her arms. Wow, that's something I never thought I would say. Or think.

I successfully escape from her tight grip and I pick up my boxers, putting them on before freaking out. I pace back and forth mumbling "Fuck" over and over again under my breath. "Y/N could you please stop I'm dizzy enough." I hear her raspy voice, laced with sleep, yell at me through the covers. "Sorry.." I mumble, flopping onto the bed, laying my elbows on my thighs and putting my head in my hands. I hear shuffling behind me, and soon after a soft hand rubs my bare back soothingly. "What's wrong Y/NN?" She whispers in my ear, concern laced in her tone. I would say it's her, but I'm smart enough to know it'll come out the wrong way. "It's the situation currently." I say through my teeth, clenching my jaw out of anger. Although, I'm not sure why I'm angry. I just know it's not because of her. 

I hear her sigh and soon enough she sits down right next to me, staring at the side of my face. "Y/N? Look at me." She says and I look at her, my eyes sinking into her absorbing green ones. "What's on your mind?" She asks in a soft tone, her eyes light with concern and love. "You. You're on my mind. Lauren, why are we broken up? You didn't end up dating Ty, so what's still in the way of us being together?" I ask and she tenses up, sighing and shaking her head, breaking our eye contact. "I-..I don't know Y/N. I wanna be with you. But I don't know if you'll forgive me." She says, looking back in my eyes and I feel my features softening as I basically melt in my seat.

"Of course I forgive you. I forgave you as soon as I left your room that day." I say and I see her smile, looking at me in disbelief. "Are you serious?" She asks and I nod instantly, a small smile appearing on my face. "Very." I say and she smiles widely, basically jumping on me as she wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me close. I wrap my arms around the Cuban and smile, pulling her closer. "Y/N?..." She whispers into my ear, curiosity and hesitation in her voice. I hum in response and there's a moment of silence before she speaks up. "Is... is the album about me?" She asks, pulling away from the hug to look at me. I look down at my lap and nod, not really wanting to look at her right now. 

"Most of it, yes." I reply, and she puts her finger under my chin to lift my head up. I look up and into her eyes, to see a small, sad smile on her lips. "I-I'm so sorry, Y/NN. I'm sorry I put you through all that and I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry about all my stupid mistakes." She says and I see her start to tear up, so I quickly wrap my arms around her and pull her closer if that's even possible. "It's okay, Lo. I forgive you. I'm okay now." I say and she starts sobbing against my chest. "It's not okay though, Y/N!" She exclaims, pushing off of me and standing up. She starts pacing back and forth so I quickly get up and pull her into me. She squirms, attempting to get out of my grip but I just hold her tighter. 

I continue to whisper sweet nothings into her ear to help her calm down, rocking us side to side. "I-I'm so, so, so sorry." She sobs out again, sniffling and rubbing her eyes to try and calm herself down. "It's okay Lauren. I promise you it's alright. You were confused and I understand that now. It's okay." I say and she nods, sniffing a bit more before looking back into my eyes. Wow... she's breathtaking even when she's crying. 

She smiles lightly and rubs her eyes again. "Thank you." She says and I look at her confused. "Huh?" I ask and she giggles. "You said I was 'breathtaking'." She says, quoting 'breathtaking' with her fingers. "Oh..." I say, realizing I said that shit out loud. "You said your thoughts out-loud didn't you?" She asks and I nod with a small smile. She giggles again and slowly walks up to me so our chests are touching. 

"Soo... are we good?" She asks and I nod with a nervous smile since I haven't been this close to her since last night, and I wasn't sober at the time. "Good." She says and leans forward, connecting our lips together. Damn I forgot how soft they are. She pulls away and smiles, winking at me. "Y/N! YOU IN THERE!" I hear Scooter screech from behind the door. "You don't have to scream like that idiot!" I yell back at him and Lauren giggles. "Whatever. Just hurry your ass, we need to hit the studio!" He says and I hear his footsteps fade away slowly. I sigh and look back down at Lauren, seeing her looking at me with a cute confused look. "Studio? But your album is done." She asks and I chuckle, pecking her lips.

"Yes. But my other album isn't. Not even close actually." I say and pull away from her, beginning to put my clothes back on. "Other album?! You're making another one?!" She yells at me and I laugh, nodding with an amused look on my face. I grab my socks and shoes and start putting them on. "Yes. You are correct." I say and hear her gasp in shock but she doesn't say anything. After putting my shoes on, I look back up to see her fully-clothed. "Well, I've got to go princess but I'll text you afterwards. Same number right?" I ask and she nods with an adorable smile. "Alright. Talk to you later then." She says back and I nod as she pecks my lips. "Do you have a ride?" I ask and she nods. 

"Yeah, the girls didn't leave so they're still here." She says and I nod, grabbing my phone. "Alright. Tell them I said hi okay?" I ask and she nods with a smile. I open the door and wink at her before shutting it and making my way outside the building. "Ahh, there you are! Let's get going shall we?" Scooter asks as soon as I step out the building and into the LA sunlight. "Let's go." I say back with a nod and he smiles, walking us out the outdoor building thing while I put my sunglasses on. Let's see how this all ends up.
