lauren went back to her apartment, not wanting to be at the prettymuch house any longer. realizing the boys had left and having the house all to herself, lauren cried once again. she held herself as she cried, nick telling her face to face he didn't want her anymore hurt. it hurt more than anything, nick was the first person she had opened up to in years.

the doorbell rang and lauren's head popped up, she wiped her tears off of her face and ran to her the door. brandon appeared in the porch and she sighed, giving him a tight hug.
"i'm sorry for laug-"
"shut up, brandon." she said bluntly.
"the boys are in the car." he said.
"tell them to come here then."

brandon took out his phone and five seconds later, a herd of the three others came running in.
"ah, laur don't cry." zion said.
"it's just hard to process, i gave him my whole heart." she sobbed as zion engulfed her into his arms.
"you wanna go to your room?"
"yes, please." she sniffled.

"i understand what you're going through." zion said softly.
"you do?"
"yeah, i've had an ex a year and a half  before i met you. the boys were all there for it, towards the end she was just using me.

i was so blindsided because in the beginning i had been so close with her, i was afraid of so many things. yet she took away all those fears, then later becoming what i had feared."
"z, i'm sorry."
"i haven't been with anyone since."
"she hurt you bad, huh?"
"yeah, it kinda sucks."

lauren was still in zion's arms as they opened up to each other, lauren felt good that someone had understood.
she felt more than good, finally having someone she can relate to.
