I fixed my bra, putting my shirt back on, pausing as Lauren stopped me.
"Demi told us, Y/N..." Lauren looked at my wrists.
She gently grabbed it, tracing over the scabbed wounds.
"Don't. Lauren." I pulled away, putting on my shirt.
She sighed, letting me go.
I went downstairs, searching through the fridge for a drink.
I needed something to ease my nerves.
I grabbed a couple of beers, going outside and sitting at the table on the porch.
I ran a hand through my hair, sipping the beer.
"Y/N. Drinking won't solve your problems." I heard Lauren's voice from behind me.
"But it makes me forget them." I said, taking a large gulp.
"Y/N...I'm sorry, okay? I...I shouldn't have hit yo-"
I stopped her.
"Don't. Just let me think, okay?" I spoke, looking out at the beach, the sun slowly rising.
She was silent, but I could still feel her gaze on me.
She sat in the chair beside me, opening up a beer and taking a sip.
My eyes were trained on the beach, how the waves crashed onto the sand.
"What are you thinking?" She spoke up.
I slid my notebook to her.
"Page 72. It's better if you just read it." I said, not taking my eyes away from the beach.
She opened the journal, flipping through the pages a bit before settling.
Would you bleed for me?
Lick it off my lips like you needed me?
Would you sit me on a couch?
With your fingers in my mouth?
You look so cool when you're reading me
Let's cause a little trouble
Oh, you make me feel so weak
I bet you kiss your knuckles
Right before they touch my cheek
But I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head, tonight
Would you lie for me?
Cross your sorry heart and hope to die for me?
Would you pin me to a wall?
Would you beg or would you crawl?
Stick a needle in your hungry eyes for me?
Let's cause a little trouble
Oh, you make me feel so weak
I bet you kiss your knuckles
Right before they touch my cheek
But I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head, tonight
Don't forget me, don't forget me
I wouldn't leave you if you'd let me
Hmm, when you met me when you met me
You told me you were gonna get me
Don't forget me don't forget me
I wouldn't leave you if you'd
And I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head tonight, tonight, tonight
Set a fire in my head tonight
I heard her sniffle, so I knew she was crying.
"So what, Y/N? You want a divorce? Is that what you want?" She stood from her seat.
"No, Laur-"
"I said I was fucking sorry! What else do you want from me?!" She shouted, tears streaming down her face.
"If you'd let me fucking talk, Lauren!" I balled my fist.
She took a deep breath.
"What do you want, Y/N....." she spoke in a much calmer tone.
"I want us to take some time to be apart. Not completely, but just to feel that want and need to be with each other. So that maybe, just maybe we can remember why we're married in the first place." I spoke, looking into her eyes.
"So, we just act like friends? No kissing, no touching?" Lauren spoke, making me nod.
"I...I don't think I can do that, Y/N." She sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"That's the point, Lo." I said, standing up and finishing the rest of my beer.
I tossed the bottle in the recycle bin, turning to go inside.
"For how long?" She said, her voice soft and almost....vulnerable.
"As long as we can go for." I said, walking inside.
Camila was awake, making coffee.
"Hey baby." She spoke, kissing my lips.
I immediately smiled.
I wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling us closer.
"God, I missed you." She breathed into my neck.
"Babe! That tickles!" I giggled, making her pull away.
That's when Lani bursted inside.
"GUYS!"
