NOT PROOFREAD. Please excuse my mistakes guys. I don't know what happened but my "past-tensed" set-up was changed to "present". Sorry guysss :D I'm working on editing the whole story but I'll finished everything first. Thankyou. Enjoyyyy <3
*Lauren's POV*
"Why did you just run off like that? You could have given us a heart attack", he greeted as I open the door for him.
"Shush! Let me take care of your wounds first, okay? Save the questions later", I retort without looking directly on his eyes.
I get out of the bathroom and walk straight to my closet. I open the lights inside to find a decent dress to wear. I pick the black romper I first see from the 1st division of my closet.
When I'm already changed, I went back to find for the first aid kit. I just find myself guilty of Justin being punched square on the face. So, I guess treating his bruised face won't hurt a bit.
I start nursing his wound. Putting anti-septic on the scratch on the side of his mouth and gently egging for the cut on his eyebrows. Aside from that, his face is clear.
"There! Guess I'm done doing it, after all", I comment sounding please.
He gives me a timid smile. "You know, Drake's kind of upset", he starts.
Of course I know I'd upset him. It's just that, every time I got to see him, all the images on that crappy dream of mine keep on coming back. It gives me a sick feeling. What if it's not a dream? What if it's more of a premonition?
I shiver at my own thoughts. I know for myself that I'll always be a trouble. I am supposed to keep him from harm, but it seems like the other way around.
"What's the problem Lau?" Justin eyes me worriedly.
"I'm scared Just. What if I'll lose Drake? What if... Ishiru will be able to get him and.."
--"Hey! Drake's a strong man. He will not be our leader if he's a softie, you know. Just trust him", Justin ensures me with a squeeze in the hand.
This never settles the pain on my gut but at least he got a point. All I have to do now is be an obedient girlfriend. Just what he wants me to be. I sigh before offering Justin a smile.
"Thanks buddy", I murmur as I close the distance between us to give him a hug. He stiffens.
Oh crap! This is just so awkward. Why does hugging him feel so wrong?
Maybe because you’re an idiot to forget that he likes you, Lauren.
My subconscious snaps. I try to ignore her and I try to be casual with Justin's reaction. "You know, it's the time for you to hug me back, tall person", I joke.
"It's just that... Yeah right", he sighs before he put his arms around my waist. He is so warm and fresh. His heart rate is fast and I know he's not as comfortable as I expect him to be.
"Loosen a bit, Just. It's just me hugging my best friend", I said between muffled breaths. The arms around me grow tighter, but not the way that will lead to my suffocation. Those hugs that will be enough to make you feel safe and secure.
"Yeah right my crybaby. Just best friend", he retorts with voice low. More throaty. I know he's hurt but it's the truth. I will only see him as my loyal best friend that will do anything just to protect me. I know it may sound selfish but there's only this one person that I would love. It will always be Drake and no one else.
"Sorry for causing you pain Justin", I said, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Hey! Don't cry Lauren. I know it will always be Drake. No need to apologize, ok? I'm fine", he retorts before pulling out from my embrace.
