Staying By Your Side (Based off the One Shot) A Diggy Simmons Love Story

Chapter 6

Lauren P.O.V.

I took a shower and changed into this: http://www.polyvore.com/pajama_pink/set?id=62464285  I lay on my bed. Just then my mom came in.

“Lauren remember you start working at the job site next week. This week you have to go shopping.” My mom stood in her robe.

“Okay.” I said.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m just tired.” I said.

“You couldn’t sleep last night honey?” She asked.

“Yeah.” I responded.

“Well get all the rest you can.” She closed the door.

I closed my eyes and ended up drifting off to sleep.

~~~At School the following week

“Nicki you have nerve; telling that boy his breath stinks.” Tasha laughed.

“It’s not my fault he had 5:00 am morning breath. I was just being honest with him.” She held her pink basketball in her arms as we walked down the hall.

“Lauren why you so quiet?” Tasha asked.

“Well you guys I have to tell you something but…never mind I’m going to wait until I know we can’t be interrupted and school isn’t just the right place.” I explained.

“Is It bad?” Nicki questioned.

“Yes and No.” I smiled. “But either way it opens new chapters.”

Nicki gave me a small smile but I could tell she was wondering what the news was Tasha too. We stopped at our lockers and Diggy came in behind me.

“Good morning.” He opened his locker and grabbed his history text book.

“Good morning.” I greeted back.

My mind circled around the whole pregnancy thing. I grabbed a few lead pencils and dumped them in the pouch of my bag. I glanced over at Diggy. His locker was unorganized and I could tell he was having difficulty finding things. I reached into my locker and grabbed his composition book. I held it in my arms and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Your book.” I smiled.

“Thanks.” He showed his pearly whites.

Our eyes locked on each other. It was like a trance we stood in. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I kissed back and he held my waist.

“Didn’t ya’ll have enough of that on the weekend?” Christian had his arm around Tasha.

I snatched away from Daniel.

“You told?”

“Yeah he told. He also told me that uh….you….” Diggy motioned him to stop talking.

“What happened?” Tasha asked.

“I can’t believe you told him!” I started tearing up.

“Out of all the people you told him. He’s the one person in the whole school I wouldn’t dare want to know. All he is going to do is tell everyone in the school or hold it above my head somehow. My life is bad enough because my cousin is here and now you add on to what you did already to make it worse! I can’t stand you!” I slammed my locker and stormed away.

Tasha followed behind. I heard her footsteps behind me as I enter the school bathroom. I went into the stall and closed the door. My tears dropped onto my jeans as I tried to cry quietly. Tasha knocked on my stall door. I got up and came out. She gave me a hug and wiped my face.
