changes (lauren cimorelli)

break ups

Asher's POV

Life was never the same after that world tour. The girls got bigger if that's even possible, but the fame started taking a toll on Christina and Amy.

They weren't as happy as they once were. The band did have their scandals, with relationships and issues with family. Dani and Lauren really were the only ones working 24/7 to keep the band afloat.

They didn't talk about the issues, they never once fed the paparazzi at airports or interviewer who tried getting to them. Lauren wasn't as committed to keeping conversations involving her and I's love life hidden.

Me now being 21 and being a committed singer and producer wasn't something that didn't spark conversation of Me using Lauren for fame. Only if many knew that I didn't like anything involving the fame. Even now.

They were always on different schedules just because of me not being a big notable figure like Cimorelli.

The girl's almost never had a break. Tour after tour slowly took a toll on ever sister. Lauren moves out with me and during the time where she wasn't touring or having interviews, she was with me.

We were just best friends who happen to love each other more than that.

***
I stand waiting at the exits of the airport. The girls last tour as a group just finished and I couldn't wait to hold my girlfriend again. I happily said hi to people who knew me and I took pictures with fans.

The paparazzi where outside of the airport and it was such a pain in the ass getting through. I keep my head down and put one hand in my Nike shorts pocket and watched my shoes.

They weren't here for me but being Lauren's girlfriend was something they wanted insight on.

They pushed close and touched and you just learn to not react.

Standing, I anxiously bounce in my Nike 720's that I have had for over a year. They were a gift from Lauren for my 20th birthday. They have slowly turned grey because of the wear but I enjoyed them so I almost never wore else.

I hear fans lightly screaming and I see one of the girls security that I've learned to be Matt. I smile and start walking before I saw Lauren.

At perfect as ever. She looked up with her circle glasses and messy bun. She looked down at the red roses I always brought her when she would come home. Her smile got large and I quickly ran for her.

Matt moves slightly and Lauren and I collided. It's felt like years since I last saw her. When in reality it had only been a few passing months.

Her scent was refreshing and I could be more happy that I was there with her. She grabbed onto my old softball hoodie and held onto me. I knew it was hard for her to be away. We never did good with distance.

One of the girls takes the flowers out of my hand and I quickly grabbed Lauren's face. Few acne scars and out of placed freckles but wow. She is breathtaking.

I pulled her up to my lips and once ours touch. My stomach explodes.

Butterflies go everywhere. My body had not touched my girlfriend in months and this. Was everything I needed.

I pull back and I rest my head on Lauren's shoulder before I laugh and pull her body close to mine.

She held me close and I almost let myself cry at that moment. But I just let my callused hands hold her close to me.

Her hand went behind my neck and keep me there. I smiled into Lauren's shoulder and realized this will always be how I want to be.

But quickly I realized if I wanted Lauren to myself and for me to only have her attention that we'd have to leave and go to our house.
