A fluffy, in between chapter, there will be drama in the next chapter
Lauren was allowed home from hospital the next day, Tanya and max had picked her up and taken her home, she sat on the sofa when max questioned her about why she took the overdose
"Ive just had a lot going on dad ok" Lauren tried to explain
"Ive already lost one kid Lauren, I don't want to lose another" max told her
"I'm sorry dad I didn't think" Lauren replied feeling guilty
"Max come on let her rest please" Tanya told her husband
Max and Tanya walked out of the room and left Lauren alone with her thoughts, she thought about how stupid she had really been, she nearly killed herself for joey when all along he loved her. She wanted to see him but knew her mum wouldn't let her out of the house. Max had finally gone to work; abi and Oscar had gone to school, so it was just Tanya and Lauren.
"listen darling poppy's got to many clients booked in today and needs me to go help, are you gonna be ok here?" Tanya asked walking into the living room
"Yeah mum I'll be fine" Lauren smiled to her mum.
Once her mum had gone Lauren text joey to ask him over, she was pacing the kitchen when he knocked the back door, she opened it and smiled when she saw him smiling back at her. He walked into the kitchen and before she knew it joeys lips were on hers, kissing her gently,
"How you feeling?" joey asked resting his for head against Laurens
"I'm much better now" Lauren smiled
"Good, is there anything else I can do to make you feel better?" joey teased
"Hmm, there's one thing" Lauren said taking joeys hand and leading him upstairs
A while later they lay entwined with each other, joey stroking Laurens cheek,
"You're beautiful you know" he told her
"Shut up" Lauren laughed.
They were kissing again when Lauren heard the front door shut; she shot up panicking, when she heard her mum's voice
"Where are you lauren?" Tanya shouted
"I was having a lay down mum, what's wrong?" Lauren said standing at the top of the stairs
"I forgot my phone, so whilst I had 5 minutes I thought I'd come get it encase you needed me" Tanya explained
"Ok then, I am ok though mum, ive just been asleep whilst you've been gone" lauren proclaimed
"Ok darling, well I haven't got many clients left so won't be home late" Tanya said before shutting the door behind her.
"That was close" Lauren said walking back into the bedroom, but joey wasn't lying on the bed "joey?" she called
"I'm here" he laughed climbing out the wardrobe, Lauren laughed at the site
"I think you should go, I don't want anyone getting suspicious" Lauren told joey
"I don't wanna leave you though" joey said sighing
"I know but it's for the best" Lauren said, they walked down to the kitchen and joey gave Lauren a kiss and then left.
A while later Tanya came home from work and saw that Lauren was sitting in the lounge, she went in to speak to her daughter
"Listen darling, joeys back on the square" Tanya said cautiously
"Oh, I didn't know" Lauren pretended to be shocked and hoped that she had pulled it off
"Are you going to be ok with it? Your dads also invited him round for Christmas dinner, considering we've got everyone else, he thought it would look bad" Tanya explained
"Mum its fine. Joeys moved on its time I did, I know the overdose was stupid but it's given me a wakeup call" Lauren replied secretly thrilled at the thought of spending Christmas with joey.
