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

chapter 3.

11:59 pm.

I sat on the edge of the pool with my feet and the bottom of my legs dangling in the water whilst I was waiting for Lauren. Every second that I was alone my mind was debating about the best way to tell Lauren about what Luis said and also how I felt about her. It was risky, I knew that but I figured it would be best if everything was out in the open. I mean she could be a total bitch and tell me that she never wants to see me again or she might be understanding about it. A small part of me hopes she feels the same, I mean she did try to kiss me.

12:03 am - Still no sign of Lauren.

Just leave, she not going to show up.

She's probably just busy with the girls and recording.

No I bet she blew me off to be with Luis.

I was battling with my mind for a good ten minutes until I felt a presence beside me but I didn't bother look away from the water.

"Nice of you to show up." I said flatly.

"Sorry, Luis wanted to talk to me." She said. Everything just felt awkward, like this never happened between us not until he came into the picture anyway.

"I bet he did." I replied sarcastically.

"Ok, what is your problem with him!" She said raising her voice and standing up from the edge of the pool.

I stayed sat in silence.

"Well?" Lauren continued.

"I don't know." I said shyly, not wanting an argument.

"You don't know? Y/N you can't just hate people and not have a reason why." She said harshly, I stood now. My anger was reaching levels I didn't even know were possible.

"Do you want to know why I don't like him?" I started and she nodded.

"Its because he is only with you for the fame and he doesn't actually care about you and you are so oblivious that its actually laughable, do you not see what he does when he thinks no one is around, he is a sly son of a bitch, he threatens people-" Lauren cut me off.

"What do you mean he threatens people?" She said calmly.

"He told me to stay away from you or there will be consequences." I said truthfully.

"You're lying, he wouldn't do that." She said. God is she insane.

"So now you believe him over me." I said bitterly and I hate admit it but I was a little jealous.

"Well he's not a liar." She said, okay now she'd crossed the line.

"WELL HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS THEN?" I yelled showing her a picture of Luis on some beach with three random girls.

She went silent.

1:29 am.

Not many words were said after that and we just fell into silence but the tension was still very much there.

"Lauren there was another reason why I wanted to talk to you." I said and she didn't say anything she just nodded to tell me to continue.

"I'm going home." I said simply.

"Wh..why?" She said walking over to me.

"I'm not wanted here." I said sadly.

"What are you talking about, the girls want you here..I want you here." She said quietly.
