Lyler- One Night Stand
Part One
Lauren stumbles out the club as she made her way towards the Vic her eyes watering slightly as she thought about Joey all over Lucy making her stomach churn,
"Oi Lauren! Wait up mate!" Lauren turns to face an out of breath Tyler who looks warmly over at her making her swallow back bile,
"What you want Ty?!"
"Actually thought that you could hang out at mine. Not really feeling it anymore what you say?"
"Uh whit ain't with you?"
"If you must know we had a fight. Anyway you coming or what Branning?!" Lauren rolls her eyes before walking beside him as they made their way back to his house,
"You want to talk about it then?" Lauren asks as Tyler pours some vodka into a glass for her,
"Not really. You want to talk about Joey?" Lauren shakes her head taking a long sip of the vodka,
"Then looks like we just drink and forget our problems for awhile!" Tyler says making Lauren grin as that's why she liked Tyler as he never pushed you into spilling your heart out and never pressured you. Lauren and Tyler drank the last of the vodka both remembering how they had met both not realising how close they were getting too each other,
"You know everyone teased me Ty saying that I fancied you!"
"Ah and who could blame you!" Lauren playfully nudges him,
"Lucky I didn't as you and whit are together and that would of been awkward!"
"Yeah. Though we did have that casual thing..."
"Casual to you maybe" Tyler frowns over at Lauren waiting for her to explain,
"I kind of wanted us to you know have something...but you never liked me that way"
"I'm sorry Lauren I had no idea!" Tyler says guilt churning his stomach as he always liked Lauren and found her always easy to talk to,
"Hey don't be. Honestly I'm happy to see how good you and Whit are besides it just wasn't meant to be!" Tyler wraps his arms around her feeling the warmth of her skin and the sweet scent of her hair comforting as before he knew it their lips were lock together in a passionate embrace...
Lauren made her way through the square still feeling nauseous and trembling as she saw the two of them laughing happily together,
"Hey Lauren there you are! Been trying to ring you!" Lucy steps in front of her looking questioningly over at her,
"Sorry battery died. Uh Luce now isn't really a good time will meet you later yeah?" Lauren says rushing over to a now alone Tyler who was putting boxes onto the back of his van,
"Alright"
"Oh uh hi Lauren. Not too bad you alright?"
"Not really. Look can me meet up and talk?" Sensing her urgency Tyler knew that it could not be avoided,
"Sure. I'll just close the Emporium and we can go to the Caff "
"Not the Caff. Uh we can go back to mine everyone is out" Tyler notices how pale and anxious she looks as he locks up the emporium and walks silently beside her over to her house. Lauren lets him in the house and both enter the lounge Tyler awkwardly taking a seat,
"You want a tea or something?" Tyler shakes his head as Lauren exhales before sitting beside him,
"Look I know it's odd inviting you over here but I really need to tell you something..."
"Lauren just tell me please"
"Tyler I'm pregnant!" Tyler was frozen in shock as Lauren watches him worried as she gently touches his knee,
"Ty?"
"How long?"
"Oh uh just did the test this morning I'm six weeks it says...I'm so sorry for this Ty!" Tyler shakes his head and takes hold of her clammy hands forcing a reassuring smile onto his face,
"It wasn't just you babe. We both did this Lauren and I kissed you first...I guess that I'm the only one you told?"
"Yes. Tyler I wanted you to know...and for us to make a decision together" Tyler nods his head slowly still in shock,
"Lauren whatever happens I'm here alright!" He says even though he was so terrified,
"Thanks Tyler. So how you feeling other than petrified?"
"Numb. How bout you?" Lauren sighs shrugging her shoulders,
"All sorts of feelings. Tyler I don't think I can kill our baby but I'm not sure I can be a mum to any baby...I will only let it down!" Tyler rolls his eyes,
"Lauren now is not the time for self pity we both know that this baby will have both of us. If this is what you truly want then I'll do it Lauren I will put things right!" Lauren chews her lips feeling overwhelmed by the big gesture he was giving to her knowing how this could ruin everything for him as she nods her head,
"You sure you can do this? Whit will hate you for this?"
"I can and I will Lauren. Besides I was raised to accept my responsibilities and I won't stop that now" Lauren takes his hand and squeezes lightly tears silently falling down her cheeks,
"Thank you. So what do we do now?" Tyler not really sure tried to work it out in his head knowing how much Lauren will be counting on him,
"Do we need to see a doctor or something?" Lauren shrugs unsure,
"Maybe. Shall we go first thing?"
"Yeah. That gives me time to talk to Whitney then face your folks" they both smirk lightly as it was feeling too tense for both them to handle,
"You need me to come with you?"
"Nah your alright. You just chill out and prepare for the family knowing" Lauren walks Tyler to the door and before he leaves she lightly kisses his cheek,
"Tyler Moon I really am lucky that your such a decent and caring guy. And I'm sorry for ruining your life!" Tyler hugs her warmly before making his way over to his where Carol was sat in the kitchen,
"Oh hey Tyler your home early"
"Yeah need to speak to Whit. She home yet?!"
"Not yet uh sounds serious you need privacy?" Tyler nods his head unable to speak from the emotion he felt as his hands trembled,
"Ok I will be back later love" Carol leaves the house as Tyler places himself into a chair and waits for the girl he loves to come home so that he could break her heart,
"Hey babe. I thought you had a auction or something?"
"Change of plans. Whit I need to tell you something babe" Whitney sits herself down waiting patiently as Tyler tried to find the words to explain his betrayal.
Lauren was cursing herself for what she had done to both of them! Shame filled her making her feel even more sick than she did already as she sat and waited for news from Tyler,
"Lauren? You alright darling?" Tanya asks entering the room looking concerned,
"What you doing home?!" Lauren snaps feeling on edge making Tanya frown taking aback,
"Excuse me madam watch who your speaking to!"
"Sorry. Long day that's all!" Tanya sighs before making herself busy whilst watching her daughter who looked bothered by something,
"Has something happened with Joey?" Lauren glares at her mum for mentioning his name,
"No! Just leave it will you!" Lauren sulks upstairs slamming her bedroom door shut and laying herself on top of her bed worried what Tyler is going through for her.
