Internet been playing up again, so only just been able to post this. Please review:)
Joey and Lauren Back Together?
JOEY POV:
Dinner was going perfectly, we were talking about the wedding and discussing stuff about the baby. When I saw Lauren stop laughing and looked over at the door. They had just walked in, the last people we wanted to see today. I thought maybe we would be able to avoid them but I guess not. They got out on the table next to us. Of all the places that they could of gone, why did they choose this restaurant. I could tell by the expression on Lauren's face she wasn't happy.
"Alright guys, what a coincidence" Frank said as they both sat down, Lauren looking down trying not to make eye contact with Rachel, Rachel still not knowing who we are.
"Yeah, funny how things turn out" I told him
"What happened to both of you the other night, you both disappeared before Rachel got there, you didn't get to meet her" Frank explained
"Yeah, sorry about that, Lauren didn't feel the best and Sharon said it was okay for me to take her home" I told him
"Such a gentleman" he laughed "Sorry, wait where are my manners, Rachel this is my brother Joey and his girl... fiancé Lauren. Joey this is Rachel"
"Nice to meet you Joey and Lauren, hopefully I will be seeing a lot more of you" Rachel said, Lauren still not looking up from her plate of food.
"Yeah" I replied
"Bit quite are we Lauren?" Frank asked her. I could see Lauren wasn't happy, I was going to suggest we leave before he said this.
LAUREN POV:
This date was going terribly, I just wanted to go home and snuggle on the sofa with Joey. If I spoke to Rachel I knew I would say something that I would regret. Then when Frank said that, it pushed me over the edge.
"You wanna know why I'm quite, because that bitch that you are on a date with ruined my life" I shouted at him, I didn't want to be mean to him, Frank hasn't done anything. But I let my anger get the better of me.
"What are you on about, you've never even met her until today" he told me, as Joey was trying to calm me down, some of the restaurant starting to look at us. Rachel still not looking at me or saying anything.
"That's where you are wrong, I've known her since I was 11, we went to high school together, then when I was 15, she took me to my first party, she introduced me to alchol, she kept egging me on to try more and more, and as I wasn't the most popular person in high school I thought doing this would make me more popular. Not knowing the consequences. That was the first time I got drunk and if it wasn't for her, I probably never would of touched alcohol. Until then it never occurred to me to try it, for almost 3 years of my life I relied on alchol to hake me happy, to drown my sorrows. You think that's a good think, I don't, I wasted 3 years of my life on alcohol, I could never have a normal night out with my mates, I always ended up drunk. Yes I know what you are about to say, I know it isn't her fault that I became reliant on it but she introduced me to it"
"Is this true, Rachel?" Frank asked her
"No, I don't know what's she's on about, I think she might be a bit drunk now, she sounds like it, who just goes around accusing people of things like that" Rachel told Frank. I couldn't believe what she had just said, it hurt me and made me even more angry.
"Don't speak like that about Lauren, I believe what she has told me, I would be stupid not to, she is not drunk thank you very much, she's 3 years clean although I wouldn't blame her for having a drink with what she has dealt with the past couple of years, so don't you dare talk to or about Lauren like that, c'mon we're going" Joey said as he stood up and held his hand out for me.
"Listen mate I'm sorry, I'll call you later" Frank said as we were leaving
"Can you believe her?" I said to Joey as we got into the car
"No, look you can't let her get to you, neither of us can, she's not worth it. Now lets go home, ores a takeaway as we didn't really eat and snuggle on the sofa watching films"
"Sounds like a plan, ay, what would I do without you?"
"Who knows, ay?"
Will try and post new chapters regularly as possible, won't be as many this week as its my birthday on Tuesday and got quite a bit of work to do. Laura:)
