Lento

Chapter 14

Dinah walks in and sits on the chair next to your chair.

"What's up?"

"I dont know what to do about this whole 'Lauren liking me' thing. Nobody has ever liked me in that way before so i dont know how to handle it." You say.

Dinah nods.

"Do you hate her?" She asks.

"What?"

"For this whole thing?"

"I dont hate her. I just dont know how to handle it." You say.

"Talk to her."

"How? How would i do it and not feel uncomfortable?" You ask.

"She's your friend. Just act like normal around her." Dinah says.

"How do i do that knowing she likes me?" You ask.

Dinah groans.

"Just act like you would around her normally." Dinah says.

"Yeah but i cant do that Dinah. Nobody has liked me that way and i dont k ow how to act around them. It's easy you telling me to 'act normal around her' but i cant do it. It's so aggravating i hate it. When you see Lauren please, i beg you, tell her I'm not mad. I just need time. Okay?"

Dinah nods. She hugs you and leaves. You go to the studio and pass the lyrics to the song you wrote the other day to the recorder. (The song from last chapter.)

"Can you get something from that?" You ask.

"Yeah. Gimme a few hours and I'll get you."

You nod. You go back into your room to see Camila.

"Hi?"

"Why've you been avoiding Lauren?" Camila asks.

You shut and lock the door.

"She told me she likes me and because nobody has ever liked me that way before, i needed time to figure out what i had to do. I asked Dinah to tell her I'm not mad because I'm not. Like i said, i just need some time." You explain.

"Its good to know you're not mad about it. Lauren's been really off. She literally wont stop talking about how she doesn't want you to be mad about it." Camila says.

"I'm not mad about it. I just dont know how I'm supposed to handle this. Like i said, nobody has ever liked me like this before." You say.

Camila nods.

"Please tell us when you're ready okay?"

You nod.

Meanwhile, at Dinah's house, Lauren is in the middle of a breakdown.

"Hey hey. Lauren, she doesn't hate you." Ally says.

"H-how do you kn-know that?"

"She told me herself babes." Dinah says.

"W-what if she-she's lying?" Lauren asks.

"She's not. I can tell a liar. They have a specific look on their face. Her look was more genuine when I've ever seen." Dinah says.

Camila walks in about 20 minutes later. The girls look up.

"She doesn't hate you. She just needs time because nobody has ever liked her that way before. She just needs a little time to handle it." Camila says.

Lauren sniffles and nods.

You're sat at your desk. You stand up and go out.

"Bobby?"

"Yeah?"

"If any of the girls turn up, tell them to bring Lauren. I'm gunna talk to her."

"You sure?"

You confidently nod.

"Okay."

The next day, someone knocks on your door.

"Y/n." Bobby says.

You yawn and rub your eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Lauren's here."

You freak out.

"Fuck. Fuck fuck." You whisper.

"Want me to send her in?"

"10 minutes."

You quickly change and brush your hair. You brush your teeth and then open the door. You see an empty hallway.

"Bobby? Lauren?"

Lauren pokes her head around the corner. You smile.

"Can i come in?"

You nod. She lets out a sigh of relief and walks into your room. You shut and lock the door.

"Why'd you lock the door?"

"Just incase someone tries to get in."

Lauren nods. You let out a deep breath.

"Okay.....

Sorry for the wait people!
