2 Months Later

♫Your POV♫

It was a week until Matt and I's wedding. He was currently flying home from filming for Shadowhunters in France. He had been gone for two weeks and I missed him so much. Olly and Anna have been such angels for me and so have Grace and Violet. They were two months old now and they were beautiful. Olly and Anna love them and watching them bond is the cutest thing ever.

I was currently lying on the couch with Grace and Violet on my chest with Olly and Anna snuggled up together on the floor as we watched a movie. Camila had been staying over while Matt was away. I was glad we were back to being friends, I really did miss here. I heard the doorbell ring and wondered who it was. It couldn't be Camila because she was upstairs taking a nap before dinner. I stood up with the twins in my arms leaving Olly and Anna to continue the movie. I opened the door ash was met with forest green eyes.

"Lauren?" I said as more of a question. She just stared at me not saying a word. I was lost in her eyes. We were snapped out of our staring contest by Grace's small whimpers. I looked down at her and saw she was looking tired. They both were. I looked at my watch and saw that it was about their nap time. I moved out of the doorway and let her walk in. She gave me a shy smile and walked into the living room. I told her I would be back and I headed upstairs to the twins room and walked past a sleepy Camila on my way up, she smiled and kissed my cheek and both of the twins heads. I made my way into the twins room and placed them in their cribs as I turned on the night light that played a soft lullaby to help them sleep.

I made my way back downstairs but heard Lauren and Camila talking.

"What are you doing here? She is about to get married, you can't ruin that for her Lauren" I heard Camila say rather harshly

"I tried to keep my distance camz I really did. But I love her. It pains me knowing she moved on and I messed up my chances with her. I just want her back Camz" I heard Lauren say and I could tell she was on the verge of tears

"I know Lo. What management did ruined us all, but you were the worst on affected. I'm really sorry" I heard Camila say to Lauren and her voice was notably softer now.

I then heard soft sobs. I was heartbroken for her but I couldn't just leave Matt. I love him, he is my everything. I checked my phone to see it was now 5pm and Matt should have landed an hour ago. He said he would text me when he landed. Thinking that maybe he just forgot or his phone died I locked my phone and made my presence known to the two girls in the living room.

I saw that Anna and Olly were still snuggled into each other on the floor focused on their movie. Lauren was quietly crying into Camila as they sat on the couch. Camila made eye contact with me and gave me a sad smile.

"Anna, Olly. Do you want to help me prepare dinner?" I asked as both kids looked at me. They looked at each other and got up and ran into the kitchen. "Don't forget to wash your hands" I yelled as I followed them into the kitchen.

"What do you guys want to make for dinner?" I asked them as I helped them dry their hands.

"PIZZA!" They both yelled. I smiled at their childishness and went to grab everything we needed. While I chopped up the ingredients the kids spread the tomato paste onto the already made pizza bases. I placed everything in bowls and let them make their own pizza's as I made one for Camila, Lauren and I remembering what each of them liked on their pizza. Once all of them were made I put them in the oven and set a timer.

"Bath time!" I said as everything was cleaned up. The kids ran upstairs and I followed them laughing.

It was now 8pm and everyone had eaten and I had put Grace and Violet down for the night. Lauren and Camila were still here. It was strange that it was not awkward between Lauren and I, almost like it was back to the way things were. Olly and Anna vaguely remember Lauren, but they easily warmed up to her.

We were now all snuggled up together on the couch and I loved it. Although Matt was still not home and I was really starting to worry. I was removed from my thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was Matt I jumped right up and ran to the door and opened it. But I was greeted by two police officers. They had sympathetic looks on their faces.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" I asked slightly confused

"Are you y/n y/l/n?" One of them asked

"Yes that is me" I reply giving them a confused look

"I am sorry to inform that Matthew Quincy Daddario has died in a plane accident that occurred today at 3:48pm today on his private jet that was traveling from Aéroport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle to LAX. The two pilots also passed away in the crash. I am sorry for your loss Ms. y/l/n" The police officer told me

"No. You're lying. It's not true" I practically scream at the officers not wanting to believe them.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but it is the truth" the officer told me. I broke down into uncontrollable sobs.

"NO!!!" I screamed as I fell to the floor on my knees. It couldn't be true. I don't want it to be true. He cant be dead. I need him. My sobs got heavier and my breathing became ragged. It was hard to breath but I couldn't stop. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and hold me. I clutched on to them like my life depended on it. They rocked me back and whispered soothing words. I didn't remember anything after that. Everything went black.

❂Lauren's POV❂

y/n had passed out and then I went into panic mode.

"Lauren, she is okay, she has just passed out, she will wake up soon" Camila reassured me

I picked up y/n and lied her down on the couch. Camila had taken Olly and Anna to bed and put them to sleep. I rested y/n's head on my lap and stroked her hair. I felt extremely bad for her. She was finally happy and had someone who loved her and would never leave her. The universe must have it out for her. Suddenly her eyes shot open and she jolted up right.

"y/n are you okay?" I asked as she looked around the room

"Where's Matt?" She asked and I held nothing but sympathy for the girl

"He's not here y/n, he's dead" I said as I put a hand on her shoulder

"No he isn't, he is coming home today and we are getting married in a week" she said shaking her head

"y/n, I'm sorry" I said not knowing what else to say. We sat there for at least half an hour. Neither of us moving or speaking.

"Is he really dead?" She asked quietly

"He is y/n" I replied a tear falling from my eye. She looked over at me and I saw her starting to cry. Before I knew it she had latched herself onto me and cried into my shoulder. I just held her. I let her cry, she needed to let it all out. She was absolutely heart broken. It made me wonder if this is what she was like when I left her. That broke my heart even more. Camila had come back down and let me know that she was going to head to bed. I nodded and she kissed my forehead as well as y/n's.

I stayed on the couch with y/n in my arms still crying until her breathing had evened out and light snores could be heard escaping from her mouth. I sighed and picked her up and walked upstairs to her room. I placed her in bed and pulled the sheets over her. I was going to leave her there, but she mumbled a quiet 'stay'. I complied to her wishes and removed my shoes and hopped into bed behind her and wrapped my arm around her. She instantly snuggled back into me and fell back asleep.

That's when I knew I wouldn't leave her again. I would always be there for her, even if it is just as a friend, I will protect her as much as I can.
