Lauren/You - The BackStreet Encounter - Chapter 48
A/N: You guys wanted another chapter before Sunday so here it is. I know this is a shorter chapter than usual but it's just a filler chapter. The next one is going to be longer.
By the way i'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday like I said I would. I watched The Fault In Our Stars and I cried like a baby and didn't do anything else. It's such a masterpiece, I couldn't focus on my writing for the whole night so forgive me babies.
Anyway to the chapter now!
"To answer your question guys...Yes I am single." I said focusing on the screen as right now I didn't want to meet Lauren's gaze.

The tension in the room became more and more obvious as I could tell Lauren was glaring at me after my last answer. Camila leaned to my ear whispering a quick. "It was nice meeting you" Before straightening herself again and starting to answer the questions. My eyes darted to Lauren after several minutes and I saw her looking down. I could tell my statement hurt her and I regretted it instantly. But then I remembered the way she had rejected me after I tried to hug her earlier and focused my attention back on the screen and realized that during the time I stared at Lauren I had missed a lot. Comments like "Could you please date?", "Camila your gayness is showing." Or "I ship it." Were all over the screen and I frowned in confusion.
"What's going on?" I asked in a low tone so that the people watching the twitcam wouldn't hear me.
"Our fans like to believe that there are some romances taking place on the inside of the group and right now they-" Camila started to explain but was cut off by the husky voice I had been dying to hear directed to me for a few hours now.
"They think Camila and you are a couple or would be a perfect couple." Lauren stated anger clearly obvious in her voice. My eyes widened both at her tone and at the revelation before I let a nervous laugh escape me and just stopped talking about that. The twitcam kept going for a few minutes until we decided that it was time for us to stop. We quickly said goodbye to the fans and turned the computer off. Before I could even say a word Lauren had already ran to her bunk. Fed up with all this situation I got up, closed the door that led to the bunk area so that we would get some intimacy to talk and walked to her bunk. I opened the curtain angrily and just stared at her.
"What's going on?" I asked when she finally decided to get to face me.
"Nothing." She answered.
"What's. going. on?" I repeated fuming.
"I don't know. I'm only your Friend, I wouldn't how to answer this question." She snapped bitterly.
"Oh no no no, don't you dare put this on me." I declared warily.
"What? You are the one who said you were single." She said as she crossed her arms upon her chest.
"Well maybe if you acted a little bit like my girlfriend then I wouldn't have believed that!" I shot trying to keep my voice low but failing miserably.
"Wow. I've been trying my best to be the best girlfriend ever for you." She snapped angrily and with disbelief.
"Oh really? Because I'm not sure the best girlfriend ever would reject me the way you did!" I yelled not caring about our surroundings anymore.
"I didn't reject you!"
"How do you call it then? Not even a simple glance or a word. And when I tried to hug you you got out of my embrace!" I reported the facts that has occurred a few minutes earlier now.
"Maybe you should go to Camila, I'm sure she won't reject you." She snapped before walking to the door, wanting to leave the room. Her words took me completely off guards but I managed to regain composure before she left. I grabbed her arm and yanked her around.
"Where does that come from?" I asked, my voice back to its usual softness.
"Drop it." She mumbled trying to get out of my grip.
"Lauren. What does that have to do with Camila?" I asked again.
"'You are an amazing person Camila. I'm serious, you are funny, compassionate, passionate, cute, weird, and very very beautiful. And I love you, I really do Camz.'" She shot bitterly causing me to frown.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Your words. I'm quoting what you told her yesterday. How did you expect me to react when I heard you declare your love to my best friend?" She questioned and I just smiled causing her eyebrows to furrow. My smile turned to a small laughter as I shook my head. When I looked at her again, the cute pout on her face made my anger completely fade and I finally pulled on her arm and kissed her lips tenderly. She was taken aback at first but kissed me back afterward. Her hands tangled in my hair as she walked backwards to press her back to the door. Our lips moved in sync, at a perfectly enjoyable pace before I slowly pulled away, pressing my forehead to hers.
"I swear to god that you drive me nuts. I should be angry that you are doubting me but the only thing I can think about is how cute you are when you are jealous." I said as I cupped her cheeks.
"I'm not jealous, I'm just pointing some facts." She said trying to keep her angry face on but I could definitely see the effects the kiss and my touch had on her.
"Facts huh? Like the fact that Camila is my best friend and that you heard a small part of our conversation this morning? These don't indicate that I'm in love with her ya know?" I explained wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I think-" she tried to start but I cut her off.
"For once I don't care about what you think." I stated causing her eyes to widen. "I'm telling you that Camila is one of my best friend and that if you had listened to the rest of our conversation this morning you would have heard that I told her that I hope she was going to find her soul mate very soon and that this person is going to make her very happy cause she is truly amazing." I explained repeating my words from my conversation with Camila. The look on her face went from slightly angry to deeply embarrassed as she realized her mistake, while a simple smirk was spread on my lips.
"I thought...you said that you love her and...I just...I overreacted..." She stuttered her cheeks red from the sudden change in the room.
"You are lucky I'm in love with you." I stated causing her to meet my eyes again.
"Why?"
"Cause I can't stay mad at you because of the strength of my feelings for you although I really want to cause you kind of hurt me." I declared causing her eyes to soften.
"I'm sorry." Was all she said. "I do know that I'm lucky to have you. And that's exactly the reason I don't wanna lose you." She stated causing me to press my lips on her forehead tenderly.
"You won't." I whispered before engulfing her in a tight hug. She sighed in pleasure as the delightful contact and buried her face in the crook of my neck, planting soft kisses there.
"You have no idea how I've been dying for your touch since this morning." She slurred.
"It's all your fault if you didn't enjoy it." I stated causing her to shot me an apologetic and disapproving look. "You really are addicted to me though. I was with you this morning." I answered jokingly.
"I am indeed addicted to you babe, and I like it." She declared as she pressed my body even closer to hers.
"I don't mind it either." I whispered in her ear.
"I hate to interrupt guys, but Lauren we've got to go to the venue, sound check and all that stuff." Camila said as she appeared on the door frame. Lauren and I got out of our comfortable positions and looked at Camila.
"Let's go." Lauren said as she followed Camila. As I wanted to wait for the actual show to discover their new songs just like the rest of the fans I decided I'd stay on the bus. Lauren complained as she still wasn't used to spend some time away from me. I kissed her goodbye and spanked her butt slightly as she got out of the bus causing her to jump and to laugh heartily.
"I love you." She mouthed as she walked away.
"I love you too." I mouthed too with a slight smile.
Yep, my life was perfect.
A/N: So there is going to be a time jump in the next chapter. I won't describe every day of the tour so the next chapter is going to take place 2 months later and i'll incorporate some flashbacks so that you'll get an insight of what happened during the two months.
IMPORTANT STUFF HERE: For those of you who read Camila/You Never Loved Dancing So Much, I wanted to say that i'm not sure if i'll be continuing it cause for the first time in forever I have like a blank, I don't know what is going to happen next. I'll think about it but if I can't come up with something then i'll have to take it down. SORRY GUYS. If you have suggestions I'm willing to work on them.
Oh and the drama in TBSE will be back in two chapters and I think that it's going to be the worst thing that happened until now to Lauren/You. Prepare the tissues !
Love you guys.
