Chapter fourteen

Lauren walked across the street after a successful day of shopping with Chloe. (After Lauren had managed to sober her up).

Lauren was quite pleased with herself still, she was happy her memory was starting to come back. However, the shopping trip was cut a little short, Chloe declaring she couldn't take no more and needed to sleep her hangover off. She was greeted by a laugh from Lauren and then they both went their desperate ways. Lauren headed to the tube station, sitting in a bench, her tube just leaving as she got there, and she had another hour to wait.

*JL*JL*JL*

Joey made his way into the tube station and spotted Lauren instantly, sighing. He made his way over, being stopped by Abi in the process.

"Do you really think that's a good idea?" She questioned him.

"What?" He asked in confusion.

"Your gonna tell her, aren't you?" She asked, pretty sure she already knew the answer.

Joey sighed and rubbed his hand over his face, these days all he felt was guilt and stress.

"I can't keep lying to her Ab's, it's only a matter of time until she was all her memory back"

"You don't know that"

"I do... She already remembers Chloe and her mum, she's had a flashback of us all sat in the Vic ignoring her when she was trying to explain her college project, another flashback of her date with Peter and disappearing off for the night, and the next day where she turned up to your party ill... And that's just what I know" he sighed.

Abi's eyes widened. "How did I not know about this?!" She asked.

"Well your dads not too big on honesty" he said.

Abi smirked. "I guess... Listen I'm gonna go, you do whatever you feel you need to but just know if you tell her the whole truth, your setting yourself up to losing her for good..."

"I lost her a long time ago..." Joey sighed, seemed to be stuck in his own little world.

Abi smiled at him weakly, and left the tube station. Joey took in a deep breath not ready for this one bit, he made his way over and set in the empty space next to Lauren.

He heard her clear her throat, call him a coward but he couldn't look her directly in the eyes. "I'm so sorry Lauren, I can't do this anymore, the night you went after your mystery boyfriend, he changed his mind and he came back for you... He went to your house and he found your dad who was less than impressed to see him and after a lot of arguing your dad drove him home, it was your dad who ran you over, I'm really sorry Lauren... It was my fault cause he was arguing with me in the car, I'm the mystery boyfriend and your dad said we had to lie to you after he found out your lost your memory, he thought he was doing the right thing, even if it was so wrong... I didn't want to lie to you, I really didn't but I already had previous with driving, I was already in trouble, I'm just really sorry Lauren"

Joey looked at Lauren properly as she turned to look at him, straight faced. Her next words threw him into shock and more guilt, he couldn't go this anymore.
