Chapter 4
Lauren's pov
The only way I was going to get joey and everyone else that thought I drunk is to get the evidence that would back me up. Because I sat outside the club that would mean I would be directly under the CCTV cameras for the club. Therefore it would show me spitting the drink out, I thought. "Jenny when I nearly drunk, I was outside R&R, R&R have cameras outside so everything that happened should have been filmed" I said. "Okay then lauren but how will you get the CCTV footage?" she was right. I had one option, we'll I had three options. Three people owned that club right. "I know someone" I said. It's not like I haven't used video footage to tell the truth before although I'm pretty sure this isn't going to tear my whole family apart though not like it did before.
As I walked throw he market, I heard the whispers and gossips. Gossip spreads round Walford quick. I didn't deserve the tuts and the shaking of the head. I was telling the truth. Jenny noticed I wasn't pleased with the unwanted attention so she put her arm around my shoulders as a sort of comfort. I liked her, I think we could become friends. I hope we will, I haven't really got any friends!
Joey's pov
I knew the only way to help Lauren was for her to go back to the clinic. To make a full recovery. As I walked up to the steps I knew she was going to hate me for doing it but I had to do it. I knocked on the door and Max answered. "Alright Joe." he said. "Um I'm okay but I don't think Lauren is" I said. Panicked was written all over his face. " What do you mean she's not okay? Is she drinking, did you give her drink? Joe I swear if you gave her drink I'm going to smash your face in so hard" I decided to cut him off there. "No of course I didn't give her drink but I found her last night alone on the bench at the park crying and when I went up to her she stank of vodka" I said. "No she was out with Whitney and Lucy last night she came home and she was fine said she'd had a scrap with the girls but that's it. She wouldn't have drunk. Nahhh she knows if she drinks she goes back to rehab" he said. "That's what I came to talk to you about.I'm not lying Max. I wouldn't lie about her drinking it breaks my heart as well. I think she should go back to the clinic so that she can make a full recovery." I said, Max could tell how much I really loved and cared about her. "Joey she's not gonna lime it but it's for the best. She needs to make a full recovery for her health. You staying here with me till she gets back, I'll get Jack to help us take her back and Cora can pack her bags. We're taking her back" he said. Max went out the room to go get Jack. My phone went. I answered it. "Yeah can you get down here as soon as possible.
