The Journey // Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 4: I missed you

•Lauren's POV•

I honestly didn't know what I was doing anymore. I couldn't let Jacob see me cry. Even though he has saw me cry a million of times.

*ding*

It was my brother Dylan Holland. Jacob is his best friend. They have been friends for a pretty long time. I looked at my phone and unlocked it.

Dyyyyllll☺️: Hey darling. I just wanted to check up on you. Grandma said you went to Alana's? Well I'm coming home tonight so you better be home😄 I want to see my favorite sister☺️ love you😚

Me: hiya. Yeah I'm at Alana's right now. I'll be home tonight, I promise. I'm friends with Jacob again. Now you guys can hang out at our house. Dyl. I'm your only sister, so I have to be your favorite.😉 love you too😚

Dylan: I'm glad you guys are friends again😊 I gotta go. Driving home right now😜 see ya.

I locked my phone and sat it on the counter.

"Lauren?" Alana said?

"Yeah?" I replied back. I went and unlocked the door.

"Dylan just texted Jacob....."

"WHAT DID HE SAY?!?" I basically screamed.

"He said 'Hey. I heard you were friends with Lauren again. Don't try anything on here or I will kill you.' The only reason I know this is because Jacob told me." She said. Of course Dylan would do that. He is really protective over me and doesn't want me dating anyone,especially Jacob.

*couple hours later*

"Bye Alana! Bye Jack!" I screamed up the stairs. I walked over to Jacob and gave him a hug goodbye.

"Bye Jacob." I said and hugged him. He hugged me back and then said his goodbyes. I started walking towards the door.

"Wait!" Jacob screamed and ran over to me.

"Ye-" I was cut off by his lips on mine. He pulled back and said "I needed to do that. I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? I enjoyed that actually." I said and winked at him. I opened the door and looked back and mouthed 'text me.'

I started walking home. I should've went home earlier so it wasn't dark but I don't care. I opened the door to be embraced by Dylan.

"LAUREN!" He screamed. I just laughed.

"I missed you." I said. We hardly ever fight. We are closer than normal brothers and sisters are.

"I missed you too. I'm gonna be for a couple of weeks." He said and smiled. I just looked down at the floor and tears started swelling in my eyes.

"Lauren?" He asked. I looked up. "Why are you crying?" He asked again.

"Dylan. You know I hate it when you leave. Yeah a couple of weeks is pretty long, but still. When you're go for about how many months? It's tough. I can't stand being here. I hate living here. Especially when you're not here." I said crying. He just pulled me into a hug.

"Well I'm here now. And when I'm gone you can hang out with Jacob now." He said and smiled.

"You hate when I hang out with Jacob and you're not here. You always think that he is gonna like have sex with me or something." I said. He just pulled out of the hug and looked at me.

"I don't care if you guys hang out. He knows what not to do with you. As long as he can keep you busy and you not to worry about me." He said. He makes it harder and harder each time he leaves. I know he is living out his dream, but still. Jacob doesn't start his tour until Dylan gets back from his. Jacob and Dylan are both on the same tour so it is harder for me then.

I heard a knock on the door so I ran upstairs.

"Hey Dylan. Is Lauren here?" The person asked.

"No. She isn't..." That is all I heard before I passed out onto my bed.
