Look For Me || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 8

Lauren's P.O.V.

All week I've been avoiding everyone in the house. Once I was home everyday after school I just run up to my room. I only came down for dinner, not for communication. I wanted to be alone at the time since I was too confused. Confused? Yes, I am.

I've not been feeling welcomed at all since that argument by the door. I caused too much drama in this family. Maybe I am the reason why this family is being torn apart. I just want to escape, I just gotta get out.

The only person I've had communication with is Harry. Big shocker, he's the only one that isn't forcing me to do something I don't want to. Rachel and Jaimee said I needed to confront all my ssisters, mom wanted me to talk it out, Amy wants peace, and well all of them want to end the fucking fued. Well sadly, I wasn't the one who started it.

From: Harry :)

How are you?

To: Harry :)

Not doing well :/

From: Harry :)

Is it because of the 'family issue'?

He's one of the only people I discuss it with since he can't use it against me at all. He would forget me by the end of this week and I was perfectly fine with it since I know he has this schedule to keep up with.

To: Harry :)

Yeah, well I gotta go, bye :)

I didn't want to reply that much to any more texts since I'm really not in the mood. Last I checked, people ignored me.

I had tried calling Mike, my brother, but there was really no answer. I miss my brother, I miss all of them. When this family was whole, it was a great feeling. There would always be someone to talk to, like you had friends, who were conviniently your siblings. I guess things change, it's either you grow up or suck it.

I'm down to my last 3 days of Spring break and I am not ready for it. I'm not ready go back to that hell hole of a school and get hurt again. I haven't told anyone about those notes I get in my locker that either has a death threat or an insult.

I got dressed and grabbed my penny board. I wanted to go outside and feel the cold fresh air all throughout my body.

As soon as I was going downstairs, I noticed that there were a couple of murmurs coming from the dining area. No one else was in the living room or backyard. I went there and checked. All I saw were these cards and a few balloons and sad look people. I was about to leave when someone spoke up.

"Uhm...Lauren, we have something to say." It was Christina. That's an actual first from her.

I nodded, now facing them all again. I wanted her to continue even though it may be just another insult, but the balloons don't agree.

"We just wanted to apologize. We've been rough on you for almost 3 years now and we just realized how pathetic our act was." Christina sighs at the last sentence. I roll my eyes at them because they just realized it now. "And well we regret everything. We have been the worst sisters to you annd that wasn't fair at all. We were just confused, and well stupid. We're really sorry. I hope you forgive us? Even just a bit."

I really don't know what to say. There are two things currently fucking up my mind. It's either I say I forgive them or I think about it. Part of me wants to reunite with them, but another isn't ready for that change yet.

"So, Lauren, what do you say?" Amy asks. She was the only one I forgave, but I just...

I try to think it out a bit before actually deciding what I should say. Maybe it is time, or not.

"All I can say is that I need time, but I'm sure I already forgave you because im my heart I can't forget my sisters." I smile at the end. Without a second to waste they all hug me tight. I miss this feeling.

"We love you." Is all they say before they start laughing.

Harry's P.O.V.

Since I've been texting with Lauren she's been all upset and down. I've been constantly trying to cheer her up, but when I succeed, she just gets upset again. I really would like to help her without falling deep for her but it is impossible. All I want is her happiness and I'll be partly happy.

I really want to meet up with her again, but the boys are keeping me away. We're in Los Angeles right now, which is fairly a 3 hour drive back to Sacramento. Modest would kill me if I went  without their permission, so maybe I'll ask. I don't want to ruin anything for the boys because they're basically part of my life.

"Harry stop trying, she won't text you back." Zayn joked. We were currently at lunch with a few of our crew.

"In fact, she did text me back, she's just been busy." I tell him, proud of my achievement.

"Well not anymore." He laughed. If this was his idea of an April Fools joke well, he's 2 months late.

I ask the waitress for a glass of water since I don't know what to say to him. He really likes to tease me about these things, whenever I like a girl he just pulls out jokes. I'm totally fine with it because he doesn't know anything about love.

Seconds later my phone vibrates and it's a text.

From: Lauren :D

today is totally an amazing day!

To: Lauren :D

you're finally happy, that's a relief

From: Lauren :D

ha ha ha whatever, i'm having a good one so don't ruin it

To: Lauren :D

at least i know you're happy

From: Lauren :D

sure, i gotta go bye

Well that was fast. Like an hour ago, she was all sad and depressed, now she's happy. It's a good thing though because I really hate seeing her upset. I hate seeing girls upset, especially her. My mood lightens up a bit and I'm smiling.

I hear chuckles beside me and then there was Zayn and Niall. Such good friends.

"Harry go get her." Niall whispers and I wanted to hit her, because what he said isn't the only thing he meant.

"Get in there." Zayn joked and then and there I was ready to hit him.

"Shut up." I tell him before walking out the door.

I rather wait outside than to hear another insult.
