Smile for me(Laurinah Fanfic)

Chapter 35

*****Dinah's POV*****

I felt my heart stop for a second. Normani, who was practically my sister, was in the hospital for a hat attack. She's only twenty-five, she shouldn't be having heart attacks. "Dinah?" I heard Lauren say from the phone, getting my attention back. "Hey, I'm still here. Are you okay, Lauren?" I asked. "I'm fine. I just don't know what to do" she sobbed. "Baby, everything's gonna be fine. Just keep calm. She'll be okay. And the minute she's stable, bring her home" I said. "I will Dinah. I love you". "I love you too lo". "I'll call you when I hear something" she said, still sniffling. "Okay baby, call me if you need me. I'll be right here baby" I said, and then we hung up.

I put my head back on my couch, trying to process everything that was happening. My best friend is sick.... they think she had a heart attack. This can't be happening right now. And just before the holidays. Has her family been contacted? Do they know? Oh my gosh.....how am I going to tell Arin. I looked over to him on the couch, still crying and watching a movie. 

"Arin?" I called out, getting his attention. He turned to me with his sad and lost face, and I almost couldn't tell him, but I knew I had to. Normani was important to him.....but he fucked up. Wait, he did this. This was his fault. If it wasn't for his insecure ass, Normani wouldn't be in the hospital right now. He did this to her.

"Do you know what you did Arin!?! Shw could die because of you!" I yelled at him. "What do you mean?" he asked. I just didn't reply as I jumped at him, wrapping my hands around his neck. Luckily, my hands were big enough to wrap around his neck, but he was still stronger. He pulled my hands off of him and held me back, with my back to his front. He had his arms wrapped around me to hold mine down. "Woah Dinah, calm down girl. What's wrong? Who's hurt?" he asked, rocking me back and forth. He was trying to calm me down.

"Get off of me!" I screamed, "She's sick because of you". "Who?" "Normani! She had a fucking heart attack! Because of you!" I said. "Oh my god...." he said, "No no. Please tell me that's not true" he said, putting his head into my neck. "She's in the hospital Arin" I said as tears started to pour from both of our faces. We slid down until we were sitting on the floor, crying to each other. 

"I'm so sorry Dinah. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I shouldn't have be insecure and jealous of your relationship with Mani. I just missed spending time with her. And now she could die because of me". I just turned in his arms so I could lay my head on his chest whole I hugged him, "It's okay Arin, she's gonna get better. I know she'll be okay". He just nodded with his chin on top of my head.

After a while of just sitting in quiet,.I heard Arin mumbling to himself. It started as a quiet mumble, and got to a whisper. "Please God, I'm begging you. Don't take her away from me. She's a good girl and deserves to live. If you have to take anyone, take me. I'm an ex-convict with nothing to offer to the world. Normani, she makes the world a better place everyday. Let her live, and I'll never hurt her again. I promise". I felt my heart break for him, he was dying on the inside. I could practically hear his heart breaking.

I turned around to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, holding him to me. "She will get better, okay? It's gonna be okay" I said, trying to calm him down. He just cried into my neck uncontrollably. He was crying so loud I thought the neighbors were going to complain. "I killed her. I'm a monster" he said, and that froze my heart. It reminded me of when I was about to hit Lauren. "She'll be okay and she'll forgive you. It was just a mistake" I said.

I just hope they'll work this out.

****Normani's POV****

I woke up and saw a white ceiling, and a really bright room. It made my eyes hurt so bad.I looked around and saw blue curtains on either side of me. And then I saw Lauren, sitting next to me and crying into her hands. "Lauren" I rasped out, coughing right after. She looked up at me, gasped, and then pulled me into a hug. "Oh thank God, you're alive. I thought you were gonna die" she said, squeezing me tight.

"What do you mean lo? What happened?" I was so confused right now. "All I remember is going into the club, but nothing after that" I said. She looked shocked, "Y-you don't remember? Anything?" "No.....did I do something embarrassing?" She just looked terrified, and that scared me.

****Lauren's POV****

What should I tell her?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Eat everything and regret it later!
