Her Life Was Falling Apart

Fourteen

A few weeks have passed since I have been sneaking off to see Lauren in secret and honestly I like it. I like kind of having her to myself and bonding with her without having other people around. It was nice to get to know her on a more personal level.

"What are you thinking about D?" Lauren asked quietly.

Turning my head I smiled as I looked over at her. "I think you and I should get out of here. We could go see a movie or something." I told her. She sat up as she turned to face me and quickly crossed her legs. "But I could get caught and you could get in huge trouble for hanging out and hiding a missing girl." She argues.

"Not if we put a disguise on you." I said.

She giggled a little as she laid back next to me and looked over at me. "And what disguise do you have in mind?" She asked. I smirked a little when I saw the bright red wig behind her. "I know the perfect disguise."

Arriving to the movies Lauren couldn't stop looking at herself and laughing. "I always wanted to know what I looked like with red hair and I'm not sure if this is the look I should ever go for." She says. I smiled a little as I stared at her. "I think red hair looks good on you Lo. You look very pretty." I said. Lauren blushed "aw thanks Dinah."

Sitting in the theater Lauren had her hand locked tightly with mine as she watched the movie intently. I could tell that she was really in to this movie and it was actually real cute how excited she got over the smallest things. I mean I understand why she does it but I still think it's cute.

Walking out of the movie it was pretty late at night and the temperature had dropped a little and it became colder so I decided to let Lauren wear my sweater. "You really don't have to do this Dinah. I'm fine." She said. I waved her off. "Lauren you were cold and I'm not just going to let you freeze." I told her. She chuckled as she pulls me in for a hug. "You're amazing Dinah."

Arriving back at the cabin I walked Lauren back inside and we honestly spent the rest of the night talking, and honestly it was great! Talking to Lauren was actually the most fun I've had in a while and it felt so great to finally just let loose and actually be myself for once.

"Do you think you could bring Mani and Ash here tomorrow?" She asked softly.

I looked at her and nodded. "Yeah of course." I said. Lauren smiled softly as she pulled me in for a hug and gently rests her head on my shoulder. I smiled to myself as I held her in my arms. This was the perfect ending to a very perfect night.
