Senior Year (Lauren Cimorelli/Y/N)

Spontaneous Dinner

Y/N POV
A week later..

So today is the last day of band camp and Lauren has been pretty much avoiding me at all costs since i dropped her off at her house a week ago. Every time I walk up to her she straight up walks away from me and won't even look at me in the eyes.

I tried making eye contact with her during our rehearsals but it never works and Mr. Garcia just ends up yelling at me for getting distracted. She is always the first one to leave when practice is over and I am really freaking out now because I literally don't know what I did wrong.

Maybe she doesn't want to be around me anymore? I need answers. If she doesn't want to be around me anymore I at least need her to tell me what I did wrong because this doesn't let me sleep at night and I feel like this stress is taking 10 years off my life.

So my plan is to drag her to my car right after practice and take her to the park where I bumped into her and her sisters a while ago so we can talk. Is that considered kidnapping? No, no one will be harmed in the process and there are no ill intentions behind this.

Practice just ended so I rushed to my locker to shove all my things inside and started to look for Lauren. I saw her walking towards the restrooms so I waited for her by the gate next to the parking lot.

After a few minutes, I picked up a scent that was all too familiar and I knew it was Lauren's, I looked back just in time to see her walk past me not even looking at me.

I noticed that her mom's van was nowhere in sight so I took the opportunity to grab her arm and pull her towards my car.

"Wh- what are you doing? Y/N what are you doing?! Let me go right now!"

I stayed silent and continued walking to my car and pushed her in when we got there. I didn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone even though this situation already looks hella sus considering I'm literally dragging a girl to my car against her own will.

"We need to talk." I said once I got in the car. Lauren looked at me as if I had lost my mind and trust me, I'm on the verge of losing my mind if I don't get any explanation as to why she has been acting so distant.

"I don't know what you are referring to." She quietly said looking away from me.

"No, I think you do." I started the car and drove to the park.

"Y/N where are you taking me?"

"To the park, we can have some privacy there." I said as I focused on the road. I don't know what she is going to tell me but you better believe my heart is pounding in my chest.

What if she never liked me in the first place? What if she didn't even like girls at all and was just experimenting? No, I can't think like that. I quickly shook off those thoughts and continued to drive. We got to the park and I opened my door and ran to the other side to open her door.

She smiled softly at me and I grabbed her arm and walked towards a grassy area next the lake. We sat down and although we were facing each other, she kept her head down.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" I said quietly. My heart was pounding and I didn't know what her response would be.

"I-I am scared.." she whispered now staring right into my eyes. I could see tears start to form in here eyes, I felt my heart break at the sight.

"Why? What's wrong? You can tell me anything." I said trying to get her to open up.

"Y/N.. you're the first person I met since I moved here and I don't want to lose you but I just don't understand. I can't help but think I'll only disappoint or that I won't be good enough for you. I've always had commitment issues and I'm so scared I'm going to screw this up!" she said sobbing.
