Not In That Way - Lauren Jauregui/You *in editing*

chapter 25.

--

We walked through the hotel and to Lauren's room in silence, Lauren had told the girls, management and her mother to all meet her outside of door.

When Lauren and I arrived together we were met with sone confused expressions, some shocked expression and one and two angry expression mainly coming from Dinah and Normani's direction.

Once we all got inside at sat down Lauren started to speak.

"I called you all here today because there is something that I have been meaning to tell you for a while now," She started and all the hard expressions soon turned to concerned ones.

"I really struggle with the whole situation. I don't really like being famous right now, I feel like there is too much pressure being put on me and I can't handle it. I've been thinking about leaving the band for a while buy luckily Y/N made me realise hoe much of a stupid decision that would be so I'm begging for all your help. I need to get through this period of stress but I don't know how too." Lauren continued and I feel she was about to get emotional so I reached my hand over and grabbed onto hers.

"Lauren, we will help you get through this. Right now we may not fully understand what's going on inside but in time we will. If you ever need anything please don't be afraid to tell us Lauren." Ally comforted before walking over to engulf Lauren in a tight embrace, this gesture was soon followed by all the girls and their manager and finally Lauren's mom.

"You will get over this Lauren. I promise." She spoke before pulling her daughter into her arms.

After everyone finished comforting Lauren they all continued to tell Lauren of how she was going to get through this with their help. I didn't let of Lauren's hand once out of fear that she might slip away.

"Thank you. For everything." Lauren whispered into my ear.

"You would've done the same. Don't worry about." I responded and she leant up to kiss my cheek; I couldn't help the reaction that went on inside of me, it almost felt natural to feel like there were thousands of butterflies swarming around inside of me every time Lauren touched me, even after all these years.

We all stayed in Lauren's room for a while longer and it almost felt like the girls weren't mad at me anymore. I hoped they had forgiven me.

They all asked Lauren and I how Eva was doing and I explained that my Kyle texted me to say that her paralysis would be temporary and Lauren explained to everyone how her and Eva had broken up, this caused Dinah to smirk in my direction.

I was sat on one of the beds in Lauren's room just thinking to myself when I felt a presence next to me.

"Are you and Lauren going to get back together?" Camila asked me.

"I would do anything to have her back but I don't think she would take me back in a million years." I replied truthfully.

"I met someone." She spoke proudly.

"I'm happy for you Camila. What are they called?" I asked her.

"Jacob Whitesides." She answered simply.

Wait Jacob?

I pulled out my phone and texted Kyle:
What was Jacobs surname again?

He replied shortly with:
Whitesides.

Shit. Kyle and Camila like the same guy.
