New story on top of my other three lol (if you read my Buffy one). This is an idea I had kicking around my head and I couldn't ignore it any longer. It'll be short. Enjoi.

"I can't believe that this is happening? I thought that everything was fine. You said that everything was fine when you called them yesterday," Lauren said as she tugged at the wedding dress that she was wearing. The thing fit on her like an expensive, fancy, oversized sheet and she kept pulling it up every time it fell down an inch. It kept falling because Lauren was pacing around the small area of the fitting room having a mild freak out.

Bo sipped on her iced coffee in an attempt not to laugh at her. A Lauren freak out wasn't something that was new to her and she wasn't surprised that she was having another one since she had had one yesterday. Lauren was getting married in three days so that explained the numerous freak outs. Bo cleared her throat then said, "I didn't say that everything was fine. I said the dress was ready."

Lauren turned and scowled at her. "I thought you were handling everything Bo." She gestured at herself and said, "This isn't handling anything. My dress is two sizes too big and who knows if they'll be able to have it done by the wedding and if that's the case what do you have planned Bo?"

Bo got a deadpanned look on her face as she glared at Lauren. This was the reason why she was handling everything. Lauren got stressed out and she would get mean. Bo was the only one who could handle her. Bo took another sip from her iced coffee then she set it down on the floor before she got up and walked over to Lauren. She took hold of her shoulders and she looked in her eyes. They were wide and panicked. Bo shook her head. Lauren was never good at handling stress and this, of course, was no exception. Bo smiled at her. "I will talk to the seamstress. Let her know that the wedding is in three days and that it is important to have dress done sooner rather than later." She chuckled. "You need calm down before you have a heart attack then Amy is going to yell at me because I'm supposed to be the person to talk you down and do you know how stressful it is to talk you down?" Bo saw the guilt come to Lauren eyes and she smiled. "It's a stressful thing to do but I've been doing it since we were fourteen. That's sixteen years Lauren, but I'm glad to do it. So take a deep breath. The dressed will get fixed and it will be ready for you on your wedding day."

Bo watched as Lauren took several deep breaths then the woman rested her forehead on her shoulder. Bo wrapped her arms around Lauren and the two of them stood there in silence for a moment. Lauren blew out a breath then said, "I'm just worried that this whole wedding is going to be a complete disaster. First it starts with the dress then it's going to be something in regards to Amy's dress. Then the venue will call saying that there is a plumbing problem or a hurricane will threaten the wedding." She sighed. "Bo what if this is all just a long list of signs telling me that I shouldn't marry Amy."

Bo shook her head then she rubbed Lauren's back. "Sit up." Lauren didn't move so Bo pushed Lauren back then said, "Look at me Lauren." Lauren let out an exasperated breath and rolled her eyes before she looked into Bo's. "Do you love Amy?"

"Of course I do."

Bo smiled a little. "And do you want to be with her for the rest of your life. Granted there will be bickering and petty arguments on top of your passive-aggressive behavior-" Lauren swatted her shoulder and Bo chuckled. "I'm going to take that as a yes." She sighed then told her, "Don't worry about the rest of it, Lauren. The rest of it is insignificant compared to spending your life with the woman you love." Bo saw that Lauren had relaxed a little so she said, "And also since it is my duty as your maid of honor to make sure that things run smoothly you are required to not to worry about anything. This was an oversight on my part and I'm fixing it. I will call the caterers, the venue, the justice of the peace, and everyone else to make sure that there are no more hiccups for your wedding. Okay?"

Lauren smiled at her and said, "Yes."

Bo grinned. "Good. Now all you have to worry about is just getting married. Oh, and your mom. You can handle Shelia on your own."

"See this is why I can't trust you. Making me deal with my mother by myself," Lauren said as she tugged at the dress. She gave Bo a hug and whispered. "Thanks Bo. I probably wouldn't be able to do any of this without you. If you weren't here I probably would have ran off to some deserted island or something."

Bo chuckled a little. "No you wouldn't. You don't like the beach. And it's a good thing that I'm here so that neither of us has to find." She gave Lauren a final squeeze then let her go. "Now let me go get the seamstress and see what she's going to do about this dress."

Lauren told her okay then Bo headed out of the fitting room. As she was walking out of the back part of the wedding boutique Bo thought about how she never wanted to find out what it would be like to not have Lauren in her life. She was making the ultimate sacrifice in making sure that would never happen.


Sixteen Years Ago….

Bo walked into the class room with the administrative assistant from the front office. She felt nervous about starting over at a new school. In her old school she had friends and her favorite teachers but now she would have to start all over again. She sighed. She hated life and she hated the circumstances that had put her in her current situation. After the woman escorting her talked to the teacher she gave Bo a reassuring smile then left out of the class. The teacher, Mr. Hopkins, got the classes attention. "All right class. I want to introduce a new student. Her name is Isa-bay-oh."

Bo scowled at the man and corrected him. "It's Isabeau and you can just call me Bo."

"Well," the man stated, "that is an unusual name for a young lady."

Bo rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well my parents were unusual people."

The class snickered then Mr. Hopkins cleared his throat and told her, "Why don't you have a seat next to Lauren." The man pointed to a blonde girl in a dark blue sweater sitting at a table by herself. "Lauren can you help Bo get through her first day? Answer any questions that she has."

As Bo made her way over to the table the other girl said, "Yes Mr. Hopkins."

Bo took her back pack down on the floor then sat down. She gave the other girl a shy smile. "Hi."

Lauren got a small smile on her face. "Hi."

The two of them stared at each other for a second then Bo moved to get her notebook out of her backpack. She set the spiral notebook on the table and said, "So what are we learning?"

Lauren chuckled then started to go over what they had been learning since school started two weeks ago. While Lauren talked Bo thought about how nice the girl was and decided that maybe making friends at her new school wasn't going to be as hard as she thought it was going to be.

xXxXxX

A month later Bo was at Lauren's house for a sleepover. The two of them had done their home work after school and had hung out for awhile before they had dinner with Lauren's parents. Bo thought Lauren had awesome parents although her mother seemed to be wary of her. They were now up in Lauren's room watching a movie. Bo pointed at the TV and told her, "Five bucks says that they'll find her body in the woods next to some creepy shack."

Lauren groaned and remarked, "I can't believe I let you talk me into watching a horror movie. We would have done well with a nice comedy. I like comedies."

"We'll watch that for the next one. This one sounded pretty interesting." Bo swatted Lauren's arm as the next scene happened. "Dead body, dead body, dead body," the TV showed the dead girlfriend of the main character and Bo pumped her fist in the air. "Boom. Told you." Then the killer jumped out of the woods and sliced the throat of the man that had found her which caused Bo to scream a little. Bo heard Lauren laughing at her and she scowled. "He came out of nowhere."

Lauren tried to catch her breath but she couldn't stop herself but she managed to say through her laughter, "But you screamed. You're right watching this movie was a good idea."

Bo glared at her for a second then she looked at the TV even though she was certain another scary part was just around the corner. The two of them continued to watch the movie and when it got to a car crash scene Lauren scrambled around looking for the remote on the bed and when she found it she changed the channel. As soon as it changed she looked at Bo and asked, "Are you okay? I didn't know that there was a car crash in that."

Bo was silent for a moment. The sudden car crash scene caused her to think about the memories of the accident that had taken her parents' lives and had injured her. Bo took several deep breaths then told Lauren, "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's watch that comedy you wanted watch."

Bo could feel Lauren's eyes on her then the other girl said in a soft voice, "Bo it's okay if you're not fine. Especially after all that you've been through. I'm here if you want to talk about it."

Bo sat up and hugged the pillow that she had been laying on as she said, "No, Lauren. I don't want to talk about it. I have no intention of talking about the car wreck that killed my parents and almost killed me. No." The tears forming in Bo's eyes burned but she was determined not to blink so that they wouldn't fall.

"I just meant in general Bo. We don't have to talk about….you know," Lauren said in a soft voice.

"Oh," Bo said as she started to feel stupid for her outburst. She hadn't dealt with the accident properly and she had no plan of doing so in the near future.

The two of them were quiet for a while then Lauren asked, "Want to go for a walk?"

Bo got an apprehensive look on her face. "Lauren it's close to eleven and I'm certain your parents wouldn't like it if we went walking around the neighborhood at all hours." She scoffed. "They would never let me come over again if they found out."

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Don't worry Bo. They'll never find out. We'll just sneak out my window." Bo looked out the window. There was a big tree outside of it that they would be able to climb down. She looked back at Lauren and thought more about the idea. "Come on Bo. The fresh air will do you some good and the neighborhood is really peaceful at night."

Bo knew that the air would be good for her and she welcomed the distraction. She tossed the pillow at Lauren and hit her in the head with it. She giggled a little then said, "A walk sounds like a good idea."

Lauren smiled at her and the two of them got dressed then snuck out of Lauren bedroom window. Bo climbed down the tree first then Lauren climbed down and dropped down to the ground next to her. The two of them walked down the street and as they walked by the darkened houses Bo commented, "It's so creepy out here."

Lauren chuckled and told her, "It is a little bit creepy." She then glanced at Bo. "I have to admit this is my first time doing something like this."

Bo gawked at her then hissed, "Lauren."

"Well it was the only thing I could think of that would get you in a better mood," Lauren explained.

Bo stopped walking and said, "We should go back."

Lauren nodded. "We could but we're like two streets from my house and we're about to reach the park."

Bo folded her arms and said, "Do you know what could happen to two fourteen year old girls roaming around in the middle of the night?"

Lauren laughed a little. "I do Bo, but considering where we live I think we'll be okay. Come on. I have an idea."

Bo was reluctant to follow Lauren but she did so anyway because she didn't want to be left by herself. The two of them walked to the park then they made their way to the middle of the baseball field. Lauren sat down in the grass then she tugged on Bo's arm until she sat down next to her. Just as she had gotten comfortable Lauren remarked, "Gee, I hope there aren't any snakes out."

Bo jumped up from the grass and Lauren started to laugh at her. Bo scowled at the other girl. In the dim light that came from the street lights that were in the playground she could see that Lauren was rolling around in the grass laughing. She kicked her, not hard, but hard enough. "You're not funny Lauren Lewis and if you say something about snakes again I'll tell your mom about what you really do in class."

Lauren stopped laughing then sat up. "You wouldn't dare."

Bo sat down next to her in the grass, though she was hyperaware about snakes. "I wouldn't, but stop being annoying."

Lauren sighed then said. "Okay. Sorry Bo." Bo let her head drop back and she looked up at the star filled sky. She felt so small under them all. "You want me to teach you the constellations?"

Bo turned her head and looked at Lauren. "Really?" Lauren nodded her head. "That would be awesome."

Lauren chuckled and said, "Okay let's lay down because it'll be easier to point them out." The laid down in the grass and Lauren moved closer so that they were shoulder to shoulder and her head was close to Bo's. The girl began to point out the constellations and telling her about them. Bo was glad that she and Lauren had snuck out because there was something about being with her friend, lying in the grass, and looking at the stars. It was almost magical. The two of them had fallen silent at some point. Bo turned her head to look at Lauren, who's barely visible in the dark, and she smiled. "I'm glad we're friends Lauren. Even if you're a brain and can be annoying sometimes."

Lauren scoffed then pointed out, "My brain helped you on today's test and I wouldn't be so annoying if you didn't make it so much fun." She fell silent but then Bo felt her take her hand and give it a squeeze. "I'm glad we're friends too Bo."

A smile came to Bo's face and she gave Lauren's hand a gentle squeeze then she looked back at the stars. She felt something that she hadn't felt since before her parents' death. She felt happy and not so alone in the world. Sure she had her grandfather but Lauren gave her someone that she could relate to and she hoped that the two of them would be friends for a long time.


What do we think? It's a different take on BoLo but I think you guys will like this one so hang tight.
