Lauren Jauregui Imagines

Why Part IIII (Final Part)

Y/N'sPOV

As I was done with my little adventure around town trying to get more shots for my portfolio, I figured I would end the day with a nice lunch at my favorite diner. Going through the door, I was instantly hit with the smell of burgers and fries but nothing of that frozen stuff. As I was looking around to see the diner practically empty I noticed the woman I had managed to avoid for a little over a year sitting only a few feet away.

Nope

Nope

NOPE

This has been a pretty nice day and I WAS not going to let her ruin it. Quickly sitting at a table as far away as I can get from her, I ordered immediately considering I've been here too many times. As I finished ordering, I grabbed my camera and started to look over the photos. There actually came out pretty good considering I'm terrible at taking photos. As I was looking down, I felt a presence near me which made me lookup. But boy was that a mistake.

Now sitting right in front of me was the girl who managed to break my heart into a million pieces. And damn was she still gorgeous as ever, but I noticed a few things had changed about her.

She now had dark bags under her eyes, her skin was a little paler, and her hair was shorter but messy as usual. But she looked nervous.

Deciding the awkward silence was a little too uncomfortable I cleared my throat and sat up straight.

"What can I do for you Lauren"

"N-Nothing I just um came over here to uh w-well-" she nervously stuttered not expecting me to break the silence

"Well get with it" I said starting to get annoyed while setting my camera aside and crossing my arms over my chest "I'm trying to enjoy a nice lunch and you're kind of ruining it"

"Right I-I uh well I just wanted t-to say...." she stopped suddenly and looked down

Even though I couldn't see her face I could tell she was getting worked up and that she was close to tears. Damn, maybe I was too harsh.

Sighing and scratching the back of my neck nervously, I leaned forward and tilted her head up to look at her eyes, "Lauren whatever it is you can tell me I promise I'll listen"

She saw the sincerity in my eyes and gave in. Quickly composing herself and taking a deep breath, Lauren was ready to start talking.

"Ok um here goes nothi-"

"Heres your order Y/N"

"Oh thanks Marissa"

"Sorry about that"

Smiling softly she replied, "It's ok"

"So I wanna start off by saying that I am truly TRULY sorry about everything that went down almost two years ago, I never meant for it to happen like that and the way I handled it was worse. I should've never said any of those things to you but I did and I am so sorry that I did. I was stupid and naive but that's not an excuse because it should've still never happened. I also made a mistake choosing him over you and I realized that when you left which was too late. My heart was saying you but my brain was telling me something else. I was scared that if I chose you, my manager and the record label would drop me and I was scared about what my fans would think if they found out I am bisexual. I chose everyone else's happiness over my mine. Which was so stupid of me because I also deserve to be happy and after you left I realized that my happiness was right in front of me the entire time I was just too blind to see it. I want to be with you more than anything else in this world, I want to be the reason why you smile every day, why you laugh, and I want to be the one to give you all the kisses and cuddles in the world. I'm not asking for you to be with me right this instant but what I am asking is for you to at least consider forgiving me"

I look at her for a little while trying to process everything she just said and damn was it a lot. I mean it did happen almost two years ago and it is pretty bad to hold grudges. Plus, I do miss her, I miss talking to her, I miss cuddling with her, I even miss her annoying me every day. We do have some great memories together and even before everything she was one of my closest friends.

But how do I know she isn't going to do it again. How can I trust her again?

As I sat there thinking, she kept staring at me trying to read my facial expressions. She had a look of worry on her face.

Finally snapping out my thoughts I decided to question her on my worries.

"How do I know you're not going to let me down again?"

I could tell she wasn't ready for such a strong question because she was instantly taken back but still answered, "I can promise that it won't happen again because I genuinely don't want to ever hurt you ever again and if that isn't good enough I really don't know how else to prove it, I guess you're just going to have to trust me...."

"Did you break up with him"

"Yeah after you left I actually began to think and I broke up with him right then and there"

"have you talked to him since?"

"No, I blocked him on everything and threatened him with a restraining order if he kept coming to my apartment"

I sighed and looked down for a little bit, "look Lauren I don't know if I can forgive you so easily or quickly....this is just going to take some time"

"you can take all the time you need"

"Lauren I just-"

"Listen I will wait even it takes months or even a year for you to forgive me, I will do it, you don't realize how much my life has to shit because I couldn't get my mind off you" Taking my hands with hers, "I will wait because you mean too much to me"

You can't deny her forever...

"Ok"

"Ok?"

"Ok."

She smiled and squeezed my hands with hers, "I swear you won't regret it"

"Even though it's too early for us to be "together" it doesn't mean we can't at least be somewhat friends"

"Somewhat friends? I'll take what I can get"

"Now because of this long conversation my food got cold damn", I said sadly poking my fries with my fork

"Don't be such a baby it couldn't be too cold", she said taking a fry from my plate and shoving it in her mouth, "oh yeah that is cold"

"See you owe me food now"

Rolling her eyes playfully, "Fine call the waitress over and in the meantime, I'll eat your cold food"

"Now that seems fair", I said calling Marissa over while she slides the plate over to her.

Something tells me I won't regret giving her a second chance......
