You're My Girl ~ Tayler Holder

Chapter 23

Tayler POV
It's been 8 days since Lauren moved out. She ended up staying with Indiana. I was the one who introduced them and they became really close friends since then. She's been keeping in contact with the girls and they've told me she's doing ok. I've spoken to Lauren a couple of times. It's so hard to speak to her and not have her with me anymore. I'm glad Lauren is doing ok. I just hope she comes back to me soon. I miss her so much.

I've not been posting much on social media. I've took a lot of time to reflect on everything, to get my priorities sorted and I've worked on my music. Some of the boys have said I've been playing a lot of heart felt music because of everything going on.

I should never have allowed that girl to get all flirty and handsy with me. I thought it was harmless but I never took into account how it would look from someone else's perspective or how Lauren would feel about seeing it. That girl knew Lauren would get upset when she saw the video. I guess this is another less for me to learn; people will use you in this industry just to get famous and to cause drama. That's something I don't want in my life. I don't need the negativity.

Lauren is the complete opposite of all of that. She hyped my up when I was nervous, she gave me words of advice when I was doubting myself, she was just as excited as me for my success, and she was there to comfort me when things went bad or didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. She's one in a million.

"Have you guys heard from Lauren today?" I asked the girls. They nodded. "She's doing ok. She definitely is missing you a lot." Charli said, giving me a sympathy smile. "Did she say when she was coming back?" I asked. They shook their heads. "She's been doing a lot of thinking Tayler, not about breaking up with you, just about everything really. All of this has blown up so quick for her and it's really overwhelmed her, you know with the hate comments and everyone watching her every move." Addison explained. "So why couldn't she talk to me about all of this?" I sighed. "She didn't know how to open up to anyone, all she knew was to bottle everything up. She's learning to let people in Tayler. This is all positive, she'll be back with us before you know it." Kelianne smiled. I sighed. "I hope you're right."

I can't believe Lauren couldn't talk to me about this. I could have helped her through it all. I want to show her that I am here for her, not just through the good stuff but through the bad stuff too. I need to think of the perfect idea for her.

Lauren POV
I've spent the last 8 days thinking a lot about some stuff. I've also been doing a lot of work on my career which has been so insane. I've had photoshoots with Pretty Little Thing and their new clothes are gorgeous. Hopefully one day I can release my own range of clothes.

Indiana and I have been over to the sway house one day. I miss the boys and they have given me a lot of good advice. Blake wasn't in the state when I went round. We have text a few times, he wanted to make sure I was doing ok.

Indiana has helped me a lot and I can't thank her enough. "Thank you for letting me stay here, I really appreciate it." I said to Indiana. "I've always got your back, no matter what." I smiled. "So have you thought about what you're going to do with Tayler?" She asked. "I miss him so much and I don't won't to lose him." I said. "I've spoken to him a few times and he misses you a lot. It seems like he has took some time to think about all of this as well." She told me. I smiled slightly.

I know I really miss Tayler and I don't want things to end with him. "Do you think I should go back round to the hype house?" I asked. Indiana nodded. "I love having you here don't get me wrong but we both know you want to be back at the house with everyone, and with Tayler." I knew she was right. "I don't even know what to say to him." I sighed. "Talk it all out and tell him how you feel. Communication is key in a relationship." I nodded.

Indiana helped me pack up my stuff and then helped me put them in the car. I hugged her tight. I've became so close with Indiana and it's going to be so hard not to see her every day.

"Why are we getting so emotional? We're going to see each other soon." She joked. "I can't thank you enough for letting me stay here." I smiled. "You're welcome and you're always welcome back here anytime you want." I smiled and thanked her. "Let me know how it goes." She said. I nodded and got in the car.

I drove to the hype house, extremely nervous to see everyone again, especially Tayler.
