Joey stood outside the minute mart his eyes glanced over each newspaper outside, each one had the same front page he grabbed one and made his way to the Branning household he walked through the front door and to the kitchen he threw the paper to Lauren who was occupied by her phone "You heard?" he asked walking to a press and taking out a mug Lauren stared at the paper and flung it to the other side "I don't care" Abi glanced at the paper "Lauren how could you not care?" she asked "I just don't" Joey sat down at the table "Babe, you stitched him up, he won't want to play happy families with you-"

"Yeah and he's going to be really mad" Continued Abi Lauren stared at the both of them "I'm not afraid of Jake and he's obviously got nothing to hide so yeah why should I worry?" Joey sighed "Just be careful yeah?" Lauren rolled her eyes "You don't have to worry about me"

"I'm just going to Jay's!" called Abi walking out the door "Yeah I got to split too babe-" he replied standing up and putting his mug in the sink "Where you going?" she quizzed "The car lot, since your dad's gone away i've gotta look after it don't I?...Will I see you over there"

"Probably" she answered "Right well see you later then?" he walked out the door Lauren sighed and put her phone down she picked up the paper and read the first page she put the paper down and walked into the living room she looked out the window around the square, she didn't want to admit it but she was a bit scared, she did actually stitch him up afterall and of course he knew it because Lauren didn't answer him when he was actually getting arrested, she tried to put the thought out of her mind and sat on the couch a knock on the door made her anxious, she walked out and answered it "Hello Lauren" Lauren shut the door and began to walk up the stairs, the letter box opened "Lauren, I come in peace" he laughed "I just want to talk" Lauren turned and opened the door again "Thanks" he replied walking in Lauren closed the door behind her "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to explain myself, the last time you saw me before in the caf, my head was all over the place but I swear i just wanted to talk to you" he replied "I guess I believe you" she smiled "You do?" he quizzed confused "I'm sorry Jake I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions"

"It's alright Lauren matter of fact if I was in your shoes I would have stitched me up and all that night my head was all over the place" Lauren smiled "You said that before" Jake smiled "So I was wondering if you could help with something"

"Yeah sure what is it?" she answered "I was wondering if you could meet me in the Vic-" Lauren stared "I'm not going to go out with you again" Jake stared confused "No, no I didn't want that I was wondering if you'd help me get my job back at Ian's restaraunt?...besides I know you're with that Joey guy" Lauren smiled "We're not, we're just friends now...and yeah sure I will what time?"

"About 6?" he smiled "See you then" Jake walked out the door, Lauren closed the door behind her and smiled. Jake made his way through the square, of course he wasn't going to forgive her this was just an excuse to play out his revenge, and her meeting him tonight was going to make this a whole lot easier.
