Chapter four

"I'm going over to the vic to meet whit, then mum and that will be over later" Lauren told her dad and uncle jack.

"So there's no chance of you changing your mind babe?" Jack asked Lauren. "Don't you think joey bailing on me the other week hurt enough? The only reason he wants to talk is to apologise but nothing will change" Lauren told him.

Her dad sighed at her "leave her alone, she's gave him enough chances, if joey was man enough, it would be him she was marrying tomorrow, hes the one too caught up in his social life" ronnie warned them.

Lauren smiled at her in appreciation. "I'll see you in about half hour babes" ronnie told Lauren. Lauren didn't have a hen night because she was too upset after everything with joey so her mum had suggested they all have a couple of drinks in the vic tonight.

"Bye" I smiled before making my way over to the vic. Lauren was walking on thin ice with Blake at the minute. Everyone knew about joey and Lauren the other week as Arran had made sure everyone knew.

That guy had a serious problem, eventually Blake found out and was furious with Lauren and with joey but Lauren assured him it was him she wanted to marry.

Nothing could go wrong tonight or she was pretty sure Blake would call off the wedding. Lauren walked into the vic and followed the noise to the table all her family and friends were.

Straight away she spotted Lauren at the bar with all of his mates, there was Arran, Peter and a bunch if whole new people she didn't recognise.

They just stared at each other, joey went to make his way over but was stopped by a load of screaming girls running past him.

"Lauren! Your here, lets celebrate" Alice told her, singing the word celebrate. Lauren forced a smile onto her lips as she was lead to the bar by Alice and her sister.

She stood at the bar awkwardly as Alice got into an argument with joey on how she was dressed. Lauren tried to blank out the conversation and succeeded.

"Want me to save you" someone whispered into Lauren's ear. She turned around to see ronnie. "Finally! Your here!" She laughed, hugging her. They both giggled still attached to each other.

"I knew it" Blake said from behind Lauren, making her and Ronnie break from the hug. Lauren looked at Blake confused and the whole pub fell silent.

"Blake what are you doing?" Lauren asked him as he looked angry. Ronnie got on the phone without anyone seeing for max and jack to come over.

By this point there was Tanya, ronnie, Alice, abi, kat, bianca, carol, foxy, Whitney, Lucy, poppy, kathy all stood by Lauren and nobody on blakes side.

"Ah yeah all of you go on her side she's the one in the wrong not me" Blake shouted. Lauren stepped forward "what is wrong with you?" Lauren snapped at him.

"I knew you'd been seeing him behind my back!" Blake snapped. "What joey? I explained all that to you!" She told him, the room silent.

"You told me you wouldn't be seeing him again" he told Lauren. "Which I haven't" she said. Blake scoffed at her "yeah what's this then?" He asked throwing his hand in the air.

"It's his local I can't ban him from coming in here!" Lauren shouted. "I don't believe you!" He shouted stepping closer.

"Quite frankly nobody gives a fuck what you think Blake, nothing is going on" joey snapped pushing Blake away from Lauren.

Blake didn't retaliate to joey because he was scared of him and joey knew it. "Just shut up Blake and go home" abi snapped at him. "Why don't you shut your mouth, nobody asked you" Blake snapped back.

Tanya gasped and max looked furious as he walked through the doors. Lauren went to answer for abi but max grabbed a hold of Blake by the neck.

"Don't you ever speak to my daughter like that again okay?" Max asked him. Blake nodded at max before he let him go.

"Why don't you tell dad Lauren? Tell dad how Blake really treats you?" Abi said. Lauren's eyes widened in horror, she glared at abi and saw the confused looks on everybody face.

"He hit her" abi told everyone "abi!" Lauren snapped. Max, jack and joeys faces fell as abi announced that. Lauren paled considerably and Blake looked furious with her.

"You are a bitch Lauren, I make one mistake and everyone has to know" Blake snapped. Max stopped joey from moving towards Blake, he wanted to know how she would handle this.

"Mistake? It wasn't a fucking mistake Blake!" She shouted at him. "You heard I had slept with joey, which wasn't true by the way" she said looking around the pub informing everyone.

"You just assumed it was true Blake and what was it you said? Hm 'I needed to Learn a lesson' that was it wasn't it?" Lauren shouted at him.

Blake nodded at Lauren, never having seen this temper before "you can go now Blake because I'm not marrying you tomorrow" she told him.

"What?" Blake asked her as the gasps travelled Round the room. "I've never loved you Blake and I never will, that I'm sorry for but not for nothing else, it's hell living with you and you treat me like crap every single day, I'm done with that, I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life" Lauren told him.

"Fine, I'm with someone else anyway" he smirked. Lauren laughed bitterly at him before swinging her arm back and punching Blake in the face, knocking him to the floor.

"Dick" she muttered before stepping over him and walking out of the door. She heard the cheers and clapping as she walked across the square, a whole load of weight lifted of her shoulders.

Was you expecting Blake to be like that? So Lauren's not getting married what does that mean for her and joey now?
Will he finally step up?
