Somethings never change.

Chapter three

Lisa's POV

*Flashback to 3 years ago*

I can't do this anymore...she's trying to make a better life for herself, she doesn't need her girlfriend holding her back. I should just let her go.

I'm thinking that all to my self as I hear her bedroom door open, seeing her tired but still beautiful face look at me.

"Lisa, what are you doing here?" The curly haired girl asks as her face lights up, I smile a little to her and look down to my hands that are in my lap.

"I wanted to see you....since we haven't seen each other in so long." I say as I look back up at her to catch a glimpse of her, seeing her smile dropping and feeling the heart in my chest break a little.

"Babe...I'm sorry. I've just-"

"Been busy? I know." I say cutting her off. Standing up from her bed and walking towards her.

"And I know it's not your fault. You've got things to do and I can't distract you." I say, coming over to her as I grab her arms and rub them a little. Smiling at her gently.

"And I think it'll be best if you focus more on your work then to worry about me." I add on as I see her face grow a little confused, seeing her eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"What do you mean? I'm already spending to much time on work and barely even talking to you, how are we gonna have a relationship if I barley talk to you? I couldn't do that to you." The younger girl says as I look down for a second, biting my lip before looking back into her chocolate brown eyes.

"And you don't have to. Lauren I want you to be successful, and if I have to sacrifice you then I'm ok with that, I'll still be supporting you one hundred percent. But I think us isn't gonna work for that to happen." I say feeling the tears welling up in my eyes as I try and blink them away. Seeing Lauren shake her head as I give her a soft smile, seeing the realization in her face.

"No Lisa please, please don't do this." Lauren says while her own eyes start to fill up with tears as her eyes are flickering between both of my eyes.

"I'm so sorry Laur, I hate doing this trust me but I don't want to stop you from pursing something you love." I say breathing in deeply as the tears finally start to fall slowly from my eyes.

"I'd be best if we broke up."

I say that and it set Lauren off, her tears flowing down her cheeks as I bring a hand up to her face, resting it on her cheek and trying to wipe away the tears that keep on getting replaced by more and more.

"I love you, so much." I croak out, the lump in my throat evident as I feel her melt into my hand that's still on her cheek.

"I love you too." I hear Lauren cry out as I smile a little, looking deeply into those eyes that have captured me.

Leaning in and kissing her available cheek. Rubbing my thumb over her right cheek one last time before pulling it away.

Still having that soft, sweet smile plastered to my face. Bringing my hand to brush her arm gently when passing her and to the door behind her. Leaving her room and not looking back.

Lauren's POV

"Hey thanks for inviting me over. I had fun." Lisa says while opening my front door, I smile to her as she starts to walk out to my front porch. Turning around on my door mat to look at me.

"No problem, I had fun too. You're invited over any time, don't feel uncomfortable to just show up, I'd gladly let you come in." I say as I see the shorter girl wink at me as I blush.

She turns back around and starts to walk down my driveway as I just watch before calling out to her.

"Wait!"

I see Lisa turn back around as she looks at me, smiling. Waiting for me to continue as I remember I was talking, being too engaged in her breathtaking smile.

"You still have the same number?" I ask shyly this time as her smile widens, nodding as she waves and continues to turn then walk down the driveway to the road.

I wave back then shut the door when she's out of site, turning around and leaning my back against the door. Really not expecting my night to turn out like this but not minding it at all.
