A/N Lauren really put her foot in it didn't she! tanks for your reviews again! This is in Lauren's POV lets see what she thinks! CB xoxo

What had I just done it didn't feel like me saying those words to Joey, I had ruined any hope of us getting back together for good this time Lauren Branning the family screw up once again, I could only think of one thing and that was Vodka,not my daughter like a should be no just drink thats all I am the family screw up, the drunken one, a terrible wife like I was girlfriend to joey and a god awful mother, I didn't deserve the people I had in my life. Jake snapped me out of my thoughts

'Lauren,babe we kind of have an emergency,Alice is really drunk and when I say really drunk I mean like Britney Spears drunk, I think you should take her home.'

'Yeah, how did she get so bad? Don't tell me free champagne I'll take her home I'll probably stay there and look after her, we both know what can happen when we're a little too gone' I told him thinking this could be my chance to explain things to Joey 'Will you text me when you get home and just check in on Gracie?

'Yeah baby don't worry' He replied going in for a kiss to which I dodge and gave him my check instead ' Oh and I love you Mrs Stone

'Love you too babe' I reluctantly said holding up a very drunken Alice ' Come on miss lets get you home'.

As I walked across the square with Alice I started to wonder to myself how things would be different if I never caught Joey and Lucy together, Joey, Gracie and I would be a little family happy and in love, I picture my life now I'm successful, I don't need to worry if I can afford my next bill or a pack of nappies and I had a husband who worshiped the ground I walked of most of the time, but I knew he was what was best for Gracie and thats what I needed Joey to understand, as I reached number 23 my thoughts was thrown into disarray as I suddenly got the feeling if being home, I don't know whats right for me or for a matter in fact who was right for me. I pushed the door open helped Alice climb the stairs and tucked her up in bed, the whole house was mine for at least an hour, that means I have an hour to collect my thoughts, I don't know how but all of a sudden I was tired and needed sleep I figured 20 minutes sleep couldn't kill me, I found myself climbing out of my red dress into one of Joey's T-shirts and into his bed, I inhaled his smell and the feeling of home once welcomed me again I fell asleep in an instant.

I was woken up with a jolt I felt water hitting my face

'Get out of my bed, get out of my house and get out of my life Lauren' a familiar voice bellowed at me

'Joey I think we need to talk, I need to explain myself please just sit down and listen' I begged 'Please Joe?'

'Haven't you got your own bed and your own house you can infect and Lauren I've heard everything you have to say' He said bitterly 'Now I'm going to the bathroom by the time I'm out I don't want to see you here you understand?

I nodded to him tears started running down my face I quickly dressed myself and made my way downstairs and across the square, I had caused this I had no one else to blame but myself.

Classic Lauren Branning.
