If I Can't Have You- Lauren Cimorelli/You- Girl x Girl

Only Us

A/N: This is pretty long so go grab a glass of water, maybe a snack, and enjoy the ride folks 💞

*Y/N's P.O.V*

The car comes to a stop and I can't help the sigh that escapes my lips. I literally had so much time to tell Lauren about what's going on, why didn't I do it? I already know that if I don't tell her it's going to come bite me in the butt later so what's the point of putting it off?

Lauren turns to look at me, concern clear on her face. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about what's bothering you?"

Here's your chance, Y/N, just do it, it'll be fine. She probably won't even get mad at you if you tell her right now.

I open my mouth to answer, to finally tell her what's been plaguing my mind for the past few days but she stops me before I can begin. "Sorry, Dani and Lisa are at the door and they, apparently, can't wait five minutes."

"It's fine, I'll just... tell you later."

I get out of the car and, for some reason, the feeling that something is about to go wrong settles on me. It's probably just my guilty conscience, reminding me that if something happens later, it'll be my fault for not telling Lauren. Whatever, I'm probably just overreacting. Or overthinking. Or both.

Dani and Lisa stop us before we go inside. They look at each other, almost as if silently communicating before Lisa chuckles awkwardly.

"Um, before you go in there, just know we tried to stop them," she says.

"Why are you guys acting so weird?" Lauren asks. "I know you're weird but this is a little too much."

"You'll see," Dani mumbles as we walk inside.

We walk into the living room where Lauren's dad is sitting with a guy I've never seen before. He seems familiar but I can't tell where I've seen him before.

He turns to look at us, well more specifically Lauren, and breaks out into a smile. "Lauren! Long time no see!"

He gets up and makes his way over to Lauren, his arms outstretched. Lauren's eyes widen before they turn into a glare. She smiles politely before stepping towards him and slapping him across the face.

The sound reverberates around the room and my mouth falls open in shock. Lauren slapping someone should not be something I find attractive but damn.

Lauren turns around and grabs my hand before speed-walking to her room.

Dani and Lisa walk in after us, the oldest closing the door right as Dani bursts into a fit of giggles. "Holy crap that was amazing! Did you see the look on his face?"

"What is he doing here?" Lauren asks, clearly annoyed. "You said your ex-boyfriend was here, not mine!"

"No!" Dani is quick to reply. "I said an ex-boyfriend was here, I never said whose it was."

"Why didn't you just tell her who it was?" Lisa asks.

"Because she wouldn't have come if she knew he was here," Dani explains.

"Wait, that's your ex-boyfriend?" I cut in. "Didn't you say he never talked to you again after you broke up with him?"

"You mean after she found out he was a douche who was cheating on her," Dani says.

"Dani!" Lauren says as she smacks her arm. "Was that really necessary?"

"Wait a second, he cheated on you?" I ask. "So he's really an idiot, huh?"

"You didn't tell her?" Lisa asks, ignoring my last comment. "Why didn't you tell her?"

Lauren just shrugs, avoiding eye contact with her sister. "I don't like talking about him, he's a jerk and irrelevant. Do you guys know why he's here?"
