Y/N's P.O.V

The car ride is silent, a silence that wraps itself around me to the point where I feel like I can't breath. My mind was filled with feelings and questions that I had no answer to. Everything just feels wrong and I don't even know where to begin to fix it. Not to mention the fact that I still hadn't processed the fact that Lauren had actually kissed me which should make everything better but in fact made everything worse since I don't know what the next step for us is.

Lauren parks the car and I immediately jump out, making my way to the front door. Lauren opens the door and I make my way inside. I see Lisa, Dani and Amy sitting on the couch but I ignore them as I walk to Lauren's room. I hear faint talking as I stand in the middle of her room, trying to not freak out.

A few seconds later, Lauren walks in and closes the door behind her. "I told them to not bother us so I'm guessing we have at least an hour until they come knocking on the door to bother us."

I chuckle but it sounds forced and Lauren looks at me, concern and sadness clear in her eyes. She steps towards me and her arms wrap around my waist. I try to hold myself together for at least two more minutes but as soon as I rest my head on Lauren's shoulder I break down.

We stand in the middle of her room, her holding me while I cry my eyes out, for what feels like hours until my tears eventually run out and I manage to somewhat calm down. Lauren kisses the top of my head and for a moment I forget about how crappy I feel.

"It's gonna be okay," she whispers.

"No it's not," I reply. "The worst thing that could have happened to me happened."

"You're forgetting something though," Lauren says. "You've got me. Plus, the rest of my family."

I lean back to look at Lauren and the small smile on her face makes one form on my lips. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Still sucks though, I technically have no place to live."

"Move in with me," she blurts out. A small blush spreads along her cheeks. "I mean if you want you could live here with us. I'm not going to let you leave this house with nowhere to go."

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude."

"It's fine. Trust me, I'm sure we'd all feel a lot better knowing you're safe with us," she says. "With me." She mumbles the last part but due to how close we're standing I hear her.

I reach up and wrap my arms around Lauren's neck before pulling her in for a kiss. Her soft lips meet mine and I forget about everything else. All that matters is Lauren and how right everything feels in this moment. I pull away and I can't even begin to hide the huge grin on my face.

"So, will you stay?"

"Lauren Cimorelli, are you trying to convince me to live with you by kissing me?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"That depends," she says. "Is it working?"

"Maybe."

Lauren chuckles before leaning down to kiss me again. She pulls away and now it's her turn to raise an eyebrow at me. "So, what's your answer? Move in?"

"Of course, lady."

Lauren smiles before placing a kiss to the top of my head. "Come on, I'm sure all that crying tired you out."

We let go of each other before laying down on her bed. Lauren scoots over to rest her head on my chest and I wrap an arm around her waist. She moves her head to look up at me before placing a kiss to my cheek.

"You're a cutie," I mumble.

A small blush forms on Lauren's cheeks and she looks adorable. I sigh happily as I close my eyes. "Hey, Laur, what are we doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Y'know what? We'll talk about it tomorrow," I say.

"I don't know what we're doing," she says quietly. "But it doesn't feel wrong."

I can't help but smile at her words, knowing deep down that everything was going to work out as long as I had Lauren by my side.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this installment of,"This Took Me Too Long and It Low-key Sucks But It's Fine." You win some, you lose some. I hate how long this took me to write, I apologize hopefully next chapter won't take as long. If it does take too long then y'all can beat me up or something idk. Anyway, have a great day you great humans. 💙
