《Brunette》Part 40

It's been a week since Camrens' wedding and they are who knows where.
Oh and my dad, still at my cousins.
"Lauren what if he stays until the wedding and then he ruins it?"I ask.
"We're going to have security. He's not getting in,"She says and kisses my head.
"Lauren you never know,"
"Y/N, we are getting married in two weeks nothing can change that,"She says grabbing my hand.
"Lauren what if he's doing this because we haven't been together for long?"
"What are you talking about?"She asks looking me in the eyes.
"Lauren we haven't even been together for two whole years. What if we're rushing into this and we aren't ready?"I ask.
She pulls her hands back.
"Are you not ready? Is that what this is about?"She asks standing up.
"Lauren I don't know if I'm ready,"
"To think you proposed first, yet you're the one sitting here saying you don't know if you're ready. I thought you were ready!"
"I don't know if I am,"
"We're getting married in two weeks! You've had a year to think about this!"
"It hit me just now Lauren. Two weeks away and I won't even have my last name. Two weeks and my whole life is going to change,"
"I put up with so much this past year!"
"What did you put up with?"I ask.
"I put up with you and your dad! I put up with your fucked up relationship with Melanie! I put up with your dad trying to break us apart! I put up with the panic attacks you get every fucking day!"She yells.
"Sorry I'm not perfect,"I say getting up.
She grabs my arm.
"Y/N that's not what I meant,"She says.
I pull my arm back.
"It sure sounded like it,"
"No Y/N I'm sorry,"She says grabbing my waist.
I roughly push her back.
"Don't touch me,"I say.
"I didn't mean it,"
"No go ahead Lauren. Tell me what else is fucked up about me!"I yell
"Nothing is,"
"I'm staying at my cousins house. You know, giving you a break from what you put with,"I say walking upstairs.
"Your dad is there,"
"Okay. Maybe one more time getting abused will get my head clear,"I say and walk into our room, locking the door behind me.
I started this. It's my fault.
I lay in bed for a few hours before having the strength to go back downstairs.

I walk into the kitchen and Lauren follows.
"Come on Y/N,"She says.
"No. If you have to 'put up' with my panic attacks maybe we aren't meant for each other,"I say.
"What are you talking about?"She asks.
"Lauren no one has every said that to me! The way you yelled reminded me of my dad. Bringing him up, Melanie up, and then my attacks, which you know I have no control over. Clearly shows you don't even care,"
"Listen I'm sorry it just came out,"She says desperately trying to get me to forgive her.
"That doesn't just come out,"
"Well it did. It slipped out,"
"Just go back to Christian. He doesn't have panic attacks,"
"I don't want him! I want you!"
She puts her hand out.
"Don't fucking touch me!"I yell backing up.
"Why are you making a big deal out of this!?"
"Lauren just stay away from me. Leave,"I say.
"You can't kick me out,"
"I am. Get the fuck out of here!"
"I live here,"
"Go back to your family,"
"I don't want to"
"I don't want you here!"
"I said I was sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't take back what you said!"
"I don't understand why it's bothering you so much!"
"Well you're not the one that has panic attacks every time you think you're going to get hurt from your own father!"
"I know! I know I'm not!"
"So why did you think you could say that?"
"I'm telling you it slipped out,"
"Do your insecurities slip out of my mouth? No. I don't use your insecurities against you!"
"You don't even know my insecurities!"
"I do! I know you're insecure about your weight! I know you're insecure about your acne! I know you're insecure about so many things Lauren! But I don't say anything about it,"
"I'm telling you it slipped out!"
"If it just slipped out you were going to say it eventually!"
I grab my jacket and I put on my shoes.
"Where are you going?"She asks.
"It doesn't matter. I don't want you here when I come back. Go to your family's house or something,"I say.
"I'm not leaving,"
"Yes you are,"
I grab my keys to my car and I walk outside.
I get in my car and I drive to my cousins house.
Once I get there I go inside and I'm greeted by all of the little kids.

Veronica comes up to me and hugs me.
"Where's dad?"I ask.
"I'm not telling you where dad is,"
"I'm right here,"He says walking down the stairs.
"Have you finally came to your sense and left Lauren?"He asks smirking.
"Possibly," I respond.
"Wait really?"
"Yeah dad! You got what you wanted! My engagement is falling apart. Thanks,"
"Wait What are you talking about?"Veronica asks.
"We got in a bad argument. I told her to leave,"
"Do you think she left?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to see her,"
"You're getting married in two weeks. You love her! You've been texting me for years about one girl and one girl only. Lauren Christine Cimorelli. You're not leaving her because of one argument,"
"I can and I am,"
"You're not going to,"
"You don't understand. She was listing things she's had to put up with for the last year we've been engaged and she said she's had to put up with the panic attacks I get everyday. She said it slipped out so clearly it was somewhere in her mind,"
"Go home and talk to her,"
"Fine,"I groan walking out.
I get in my car and drive home.
I get out the car and put the keys in my pocket.
I walk inside wand Lauren looks up from the couch.
"Look before you start yelling again. Why don't we just take a week apart from each other. You know that way we have space. I can go to the girls house for a week and you can have your friends over for the week. Maybe we just need time,"She says standing up.
"Okay,"
"Okay, I'll go get my bag,"She says biting her lip.
She walks upstairs and my phone goes off.
I answer it and put it up to my ear.
"Hey Y/N,"
"Hey Nezza. I'm assuming Franny is with you,"I say.
"Yeah about that if you're going anywhere leave your door unlocked,"
"Why? Are you robbing me?"
"No. Somethings going to be there in an hour,"
"Okay,"
"Bye love you!"
"Love you too, bye,"
I hang up and put the phone back in my pocket.
Lauren comes back down a few minutes later with two bags.
"See you next week. I love you,"She says walking to the door.
"Wait,"I say.
She turns and looks at me.
"What?" She asks.
I walk over to her and grab her waist.
"I love you too," I say and connect our lips.
She smiles and kisses me back pulling me closer.
She pulls away slowly and rests her head on mine.
"One week,"She says.
"One week,"
She walks out the door and as it shuts I walk over to the couch and lay down on it.
I end up falling asleep until the doorbell wakes me up.
I roll over forgetting I'm on the couch and am met with the floor.
"It's open!"I groan getting up.
The door opens and I instantly run to the two girls standing there.
I jump onto Franny and she hold me up by my waist.
"Oh my god. You're actually here,"I mumble into her neck.
"Yeah. And we're staying for a month,"Nezza responds.
"Alright Nezza take the child,"Franny says and hands me over to Nezza.
"I'm an adult,"I say.
"You're also pretty small. And you're literally clinging to us,"
Nezza walks over to the couch and drops me on it.
"Rude,"I groan.
They go to the door and grab their bags and set them by the door.
"So where's your fiancée?"Nezza asks.
"We kinda got into an argument this morning and we're taking a week away from each other. I was going to invite Ally, Sabrina, and Norminah, but seeing as you are here is pretty entertaining,"I say.
"Invite them! And your sisters!"
"Y'all can call them,"I say laying down.
Soon after the girls barge into the house and I groan as they all ignore me on the couch and Dinah flicks my forehead.
"Are you alive?"She asks.
"No duh. If I was dead you wouldn't be here would you?"I ask.
"No I don't think so,"
"Exactly,"I say getting up.
I hug all of the girls and Dinah looks me up and down.
"What are you doing?"I ask.
"Why do you look like shit?"She asks.
"Oh thanks Dinah. Lauren and I got in an argument, we're taking a week apart from each other,"
"Oh thank god we can have fun," Normani says.
"I'm gonna act like I didn't hear that. What are you talking about?"I ask.
"Well I know there are about four people here that are 21 meaning they can buy us drinks and we can get drunk tonight,"Sabrina says.
"No. I'm not drinking. Lauren would kill me,"
"Lauren isn't here,"
"Fine. Nezza Franny go!"
"Are you sure Y/N?"Veronica asks.
"I'm not sure of anything at the moment. Maybe drinking a little will distract me,"I say
"Alright we'll be back in... I don't know when,"Franny says and her and Nezza walk out the door.

Where did I wake up?
A pretty standard story about a man that gets transferred to a new world, and gains a system to help him survive. This is pretty close to the first draft of this story, so there will be grammar mistakes until I get down to fixing them. Synopsis, genre and tags will also change as I get more writing done. I will try to release two to three short chapters a week. I don't own the cover image; it is just something I found online.
