-Flash Back-
"You said you loved me..." Lauren looked at Joey with tears streaming down her face.
"I lied. All we had was a bit of fun... And now it's over." Joey's voice croaked his as he left Lauren's house and slammed the door behind him.
Lauren screamed as she ran into the kitchen and grabbed hold a of a knife. Self-harming wasn't really Lauren's thing but right now, Her whole world was falling apart around her. She felt trapped in a pit of depression and nobody was going to help her out. She slowly makes two deep slits in her arm and the blood came pouring out and she wrapped it in kitchen roll. She threw the knife on the kitchen counter and slid onto the floor crying.
"What are you doing?!" Shouted Tanya as she walked in and noticed a knife covered with blood on the side and Lauren on the floor.
-End Of Flashback-
Five months Lauren had a harsh break up with Joey, He told her that he didn't even love her to start with... And Lauren being Lauren, Took it out on herself. Her family noticed Lauren's addiction to self-harming since she broke up with Joey and decided it was best to send her to get treatment. It was finally the end of Lauren's treatment and everyone was impressed with her progress and agreed on a final decision that Lauren was released from treatment and out into the real world.
"Lauren?" There was a knock at the door and Tanya slowly walked in.
"Mum!" Lauren smiled as she walked over to her mum and hugged her tightly.
"Are you all ready to go?" Tanya asked her and a soft and gentle tone.
"I'm more than ready." Lauren smiled as she grabbed her bags and walked out with her mum.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
As Lauren and her mum slowly drived around the square Lauren noticed Joey looking into the car as they drove past him.
"What's he still doing here?!" Lauren seemed annoyed as she saw his face.
"Just forget about him, Alright darling?" Tanya suggested. "Maybe it's for the best."
"I can't forget about him... I love him." Lauren slumped in her seat. Even after everything she still loved him.
"You can't be serious!" Tanya groaned.
"What?! He's the only boy i've ever really loved... And I thought he loved me too,,," Lauren looked down.
"Listen." Tanya turned the radio down. "If he really loved you, He would have came and saw you when you were in treatment... But he didn't. Doesn't that say a lot?"
"Whatever." Lauren sighed as she got out of the car, Closed the door and walked down the street.
"Where are you going?" Tanya called after her.
"To think!" Lauren shouted back.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Lauren sighed as she sat down on the swing and scuffed her converse on the ground as she swung back and forth.
"Hey..." Joey began as he slowly walked over to her.
"Hey..." Lauren responded not looking up from her feet.
"I'm sorry." Joey sat down on the swing next to her.
"For what?" Lauren gulped and looked up.
"I feel like I was the reason you went into treatment..." Joey sighed.
"It wasn't your fault. It could never be your fault. It was mine." Lauren smiled slightly. "I was stupid."
"So was I." Joey's voice became bolder. "I was so horrible, I should have speared your feelings, I didn't think..."
"I said, It wasn't your fault." Lauren stood up.
"W-where are you going?" Joey stood up too.
"Home. To pack." Lauren began walking down the path and Joey ran in front of her.
"To pack? What?" Joey stared at her looking confused.
"Do you really think i'm going to stay here? Not after what happened." Lauren pushed past him and continued walking back to her house.
"Well done, Well done Joey." Joey gulped.
Joey still loved Lauren, In fact he never stopped. But since the accident Derek had a hold over Joey, But since Derek has gone... Joey knew he didn't have to hide his feelings anymore. The problem is getting Lauren to believe his feelings never went away...
