Based on when Lauren finds out about joey and Whitney. How will she cope...
Lauren's pov
"I've gotta go, bye." I didn't want to wait and listen to their responses.I'd heard enough. I needed to get out of the club but what I really needed was a drink. That drink being vodka. As I was out of Whitney, Lucy and Joey's sight I slipped a glass of vodka off someone's table and headed for the door. I couldn't risk any of that lot seeing so as got outside and feel to the floor in tears. I went to take a sip of the poison. Although just as I went to swallow it, I simply couldn't, my mouth wouldn't let me. I spat it out and the tears started to flow even more. How could they do that to me. My bestfriend and the guy I loved in bed together, having sex whilst I was in rehab! They must have known it would tear my whole world apart yet they still did it. The fact they weren't going to tell me make it worse. It was only because Whitney cracked under the pressure when I asked what was going on that I found out. Joey loves me though, I could tell yesterday when he nearly kissed me! I decided I'd go for a walk so that I wouldn't be brought down by the temptation again.
Joey's pov
"why did you tell her?! Your going to cause her to relaspe!" I knew that lauren needed to find out the truth but I just didn't want her to find out now. Not when she was so fragile. She had only been sober for a month now, I know her and I know that if she wasn't strong enough then her addiction would be reignited. "Joey she had to know, we'll go look for her if your really that worried but she said she was fine and anyway she's stronger now." I knew Whit was right but we still had to look for her. "She's putting up a front she really vulnerable. We need to find her before she does something fatal." At that moment I ran out of the club not worried about the fact I was risking getting fired, I was more worried about lauren. I had to find her. I needed to find her and she needed me.

I decided I'd go to the park. The park had always been a place for me to think through me thoughts and feelings ever since my dad started having the affairs. The doctor in the clinic told me to go for walks or go to a park when I feel like drinking away my sorrows. I guess he's got the right idea because it really calms you down. Even though I wasn't tempted to drink, the image of Joey and Whitney wouldn't come out of my head. It just hurt me so much that they could even do that to me. Before I left to go to rehab I was a drunk mess and part of my problems were my heartbreak. Although they probably wouldn't have been able to see that I drank because I had nothing going well in my life they probably saw me attention seeking as they would call it. They deserted me when I needed them most. Come to think of it I bet they couldn't wait till I was gone, I know Lucy couldn't wait. I bet her and Whitney thought 'yes we can jump into bed with the guy our bestfriend loves and she won't know because she's in rehab' . Dramatic but I bet it's true.
Joey's pov
I ran out of R&R and checked down both sides of the building to make sure lauren wasn't lying paralysed in the middle of one of the sides. Whitney and Lucy just followed me as I searched for Lauren I could tell they didn't care about their bestfriend they were more interested in shutting me up. Lucy stood there rolling her eyes not caring. "Are you two actually gonna help me?!" the frustration rolled off my tongue as I spoke to them. "Look Joey I don't know why your trying so hard to find her she said she was fine. Anyway even if she wasn't you shouldn't care. You were the one that caused her to run out of the club. I mean sleeping with Whit you must have known that would break her." Lucy was right. I suddenly hit me, all of this was my fault. I had to find her to tell her the truth that I love her. " Lucy shut up okay. You don't have to come with me but I am finding her, okay?". After shouting my peace at Lucy I ran to the Vic. Even though Alfie and Roxy knew lauren couldn't drink they would have to serve her as aunty Tanya isn't here any more to stop it. I opened the pub doors and stepped in. I looked around frantically to try and find the brunette beauty. I walked up to the bar to see if Alfie or Roxy had seen her. "Um you haven't seen lauren have you?" I think Alfie could tell how desperate I was to find her. "No sorry mate I haven't but I'll help you find her."
"Thanks mate, I know she wouldn't have gone home because her dad wants to take her back to the clinic and she doesn't want to go back.". I could feel tears forming in my eyes. "Look Joey we will find her she's stronger than we all think.". "I hope so"
We'd search what felt like everywhere but I was determined to find her. Make sure she was okay. I'd met up with Alfie again by the chippy when he had the genius idea of looking at the park for her. "I'll look for her at the park and can you ask everyone you see if they've seen her.". He nodded his head in agreement and headed off. I ran to the park me legs wouldn't stop until I saw her. She was sat on the bench. Alone. Crying. I dialled Alfie's number, "I've found her, thanks for your help mate. I can take it from here." I put the phone down and didn't wait for his response. And I walked up to her.
