lauren

"Ah! Good morning! Today is a wonderful day!" Zach screamed, making me growled and placed a pillow over my face. He snatched the pillow and threw it across the room. "Daniel! Lauren! Wake up you sleepy head"

I had to listen to that boy so I led the way to the bathroom. Before that, I pinched his arm, making him yelp. I was wondering why they were up so early. Then I noticed. It's from 2 p.m. Last night must be tiring eh?

•☆•☆•

I went out alone. The boys had other things to do. I had a photoshoot at some studio. At the studio, I dressed up, getting my makeup and hair done and ready for the shoot.

After the shoot, I shuffled out of the studio and wait for my Uber. I accidentally bumped into a guy. It's my ex-boyfriend, Jaden. I was shocked so I walked away but he stopped me.

"Wait. Lauren, is that you?" I slowly turned around and attempted to smile. Why. Did. I. Turn!

"Yeah. It's me. Long time no see" I nervously said.

"What are you doing here actually?"

"I just finished a shoot for a campaign. And I'm waiting for my Uber" At this point, I felt like I want to pee. I completely held it, don't worry.

"Can I drive you there? No, I won't do anything for you. I promise. I have no bad intentions" he said with hands gesturing.

"I'm sorry I ca-" Yes, he had the audacity to cut me off. What a bitch.

"Please. It's been so long. I want to have a little chat with you. Come on" When I'm about to reply, he jerked me with him to his car.

He opened the door for me. I got in, not thanking him. I told him about the direction of the boys' house.

The whole ride was awkward. He asked me a lot of questions which I'm not comfortable to answer. He's like a creep.

I was so grateful that he drop me at the boys' and not anywhere else. He opened the car door for me. After that, he leaned closer and kissed me.

"What the fuck are you doing! I have a boyfriend. I already told you in the car. If he knows this and accuses me of anything, you'll be dead!" It came out aggressive because when we broke up, the anger's there but I just don't show it. Well, he deserved it anyways.

I walked towards the house to open the door. When I opened it. Daniel was standing there, blocking my way. He looked... angry.

"You think I didn't saw that, huh?"

"Daniel. It's not what it looks like. Trust me. I'm clearly mad at him. Don't you see that?" Tears began to flood in my eyes.

"Yeah you mad or whatever but you clearly liked it don't you? We're over Lauren" he sounds so pissed. He walked away, leaving me behind.

"Daniel let me explain!" I shouted but he didn't even turn around. I chased after him and grabbed his arm. He pushed my hands away... softly.
"Daniel, please"

"Listen. I really don't want to talk to you right now" he explained, walking to his room.

I stopped. "Fine" If that's what he wants, let him be. I can't stay any longer here. I need to get to my apartment.

•☆•☆•

I crashed into my bed and broke down. I can't stop crying. He made me the happiest girl alive. I cried a lot. I fell asleep with tears still streaming down my face.

After the long nap, I sat up with my arms hugging my legs. I planted my face on my knees and cried for what felt like hours. "It's okay Lauren. Be strong for yourself" I told myself.

I get inside the bath and stayed there. That was our first fight. He shouldn't break up with me. He should let me explain but no he just straight up break up with me. It's not even my fault. Maybe it is.

Half an hour later, I stepped out of my bathroom. I want to go out to clear my mind. I wore a hoodie and leggings. Not in the mood to dress up. I grabbed my car key and walked out.

I stopped at Venice Beach. The cold fresh air relieved me. Then I saw him. The anger was boiling in me. I had to tell him what he had done.

I stopped him from walking by standing in front of him. I crossed my arms. "Jaden" I pulled him to a table nearby and sit there.

"Lauren what are you doing?" He said as I forced him to sit.

"What are you doing? I broke up with my boyfriend because of you" I said, trying to hold back my tears. Talking about that hurts so much.

"Wait. Really?" He adjusted his position like he's interested to hear me. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes! And it's all because of you, you fool!" I began to tear up. "He didn't let me explain at all. I don't know what to do" I mumbled softly and leaned on the chair, hiding my ugly crying face.

"I'm sorry okay. To be honest, I still have feelings for you. I can't hold it any longer cause I missed you" my eyes widened.

"Oh. So you decided to kiss me?" I look back at him. He tried to grab my hands but I pulled away. "Don't fucking touch me" I set my hood up so other people can't see me crying.

"Lauren. I'm sorry. I know it's my fault" He looked serious but I knew he didn't.

I stood up from my seat, ready to go home. "I'm leaving" he called my name numerous times. I ignored him. I turned back around and slapped him.

author's note

❗️PLEASE READ❗️
i just wanted to tell you guys to WASH your hands WITH SOAP and USE hand sanitizer with alcohol in it. Make sure your SURROUNDINGS are CLEAN. If possible, sanitize everything that people always touch like doorknobs, switches, chairs, phone, etc. Hygiene is really important. Drink A LOT of water. If your throat is dry/scratchy drink HOT water. Drinking hot water, 60-degree celsius at least, can kill the virus. Soaps can kill the virus as it has fat layers. STAY AT HOME. If u go out, it can affect many people and yourself as the virus SPREADS EASILY. SOCIAL DISTANCING must be at 1meter. DON'T touch ANY ANIMALS- they must be sad cuz we don't pet them🥺. DON'T touch your face no matter how tempting. This can get worse and worse if you don't take it seriously. This will forever be in my prayers until we get back to normal. Stay safe.
