Don't Let Her Fall Apart

Nine

After the party things between Lauren and Camila just kind of fizzled out. Like it was known that they didn't like each other but other then that nothing actually happened. In fact Lauren mostly stayed with me or hung out with her other friends. Her and Camila never really crossed paths, even if they shared a few of the same classes together.

"So I was wondering if we could hangout later?" Lauren asked. "Maybe I could take you to my favorite spot."

Looking over at her I smiled a little. "Yeah I'd love that." I agreed. Her greed eyes lit up and Lauren hugged me tightly. "Great! I'll uh I'll meet you by your locker after school." She says. I nodded "see you then." I told her. Kissing my cheek she gave me one last smile before walking away.

"You really shouldn't be friends with that girl."

Turning my head to the unknown voice I looked to my left and saw Lucy along with Brad standing there. "And why should I listen to you?" I asked. Lucy rolled her eyes as she played with Brad's fingers. "Because Lauren Jauregui is a bad person. She did so many bad things to me that the only way I could get way was to out her because if I didn't she would still be hurting me." She says.

I'm not dumb I could see the lie written all over Lucy's face. I have known Lauren for a while and that girl wouldn't hurt anyone, so it's silly of Lucy to think that I would believe anything she would ever say.

"Look Hansen I know you might not believe her but I walked in on Lauren hurting Lucy. That girl is insane and it would do you some good to stay away from her." Brad said.

I shrugged "Lauren has never hurt me and honestly I don't believe she hurt you either." I said. Lucy scuffs "so you don't believe victims? How caring of you Hansen." She spits. Rolling my eyes I muttered whatever before walking away from them. After everything they did I can't believe they really thought I would believe them. Unbelievable.

So the rest of the consisted of Brad and Lucy following me from class to class telling how bad of a person Lauren is but I still didn't believe them. They also tried showing me pictures of the bruises Lucy had but even a blind man could tell they were fake. I'm not sure why they want me against Lauren so bad but that's never going to happen. Ever.

"D are you ok babe?" Lauren asked softly.

I nodded "yeah I'm fine Lauren." I said. "Are you ok? Are things good?" She nodded "yeah things have been fine. My family has actually been good." She says, giggling a little.

I smiled as I held her hand. "So where are we going?" I asked. She smiled brightly as she looks at me. "I told you I wanted to take you to my spot." She said. "And that involves a walk through the woods?" I asked. Laughing happily Lauren smiles at me. "Babe I promise you'll love it once you see it." She said. I raised an eyebrow but agreed. "Ok."

Walking up a path Lauren locked our fingers together as she takes me to the top of a cliff right across from a waterfall. "Wow this is beautiful." I whispered softly as I looked out to the waterfall. "It is isn't it." Lauren spoke gently.

Taking a seat at the edge of the cliff Lauren and I held hands as we just looked at the waterfall. Resting her head on my shoulder Lauren smiles softly as she played with my fingers. Looking down at her I couldn't help but smile at her because she truly is incredible.

Moving away slightly Lauren cups my cheek and sent a kind smile my way before leaning in a pressing her lips softly to mine. Fluttering my eyes closed I kissed back. This kiss was different from our first but definitely amazing. I mean our lips fit together perfectly, like this was meant to be and I think it is.

A/N: I'm so sorry it took so long to update but I just recently lost a very close family member and things just haven't been easy right now.
