Chapter Two


Lauren just stared at the note. She couldn't believe it. Matthew Perry and Lauren had been going strong and then he bailed and she hadn't heard from him in a really long time. He had a lot of explaining to do. She didn't even know if she was going to go. But she did miss him. She'd sleep on it and call him tomorrow.

Lauren was on her way to work. She was going out with Matt tonight. She already knew what she was going to say. She wanted him to explain why he had left her. Lauren parked her car in the WB parking lot. She started walking to her trailer. Scott saw her coming and ran up to talk to her.

"Hey Lauren."

"Oh hey Scott. How are you?"

"I'm good. How are you?"

'Wow this is getting awkward,' thought Lauren.

"Oh I'm good."

"Lauren I was wondering if after work if you wanted to go get coffee with me or something."

"Oh sorry Scott. I'm going out with Matt tonight. Maybe another time ok?"

"Oh it's ok," Scott replied disappointed. Lauren noticed this and felt sorry. Had it even crossed Lauren's mind that he was asking her out. And now she's going out with Matt again. I don't have a chance. Urggg! Why did I wait!

Lauren walked to her trailer. She was wondering why Scott didn't just ask to have coffee now. We don't have to shoot a scene for awhile. She got in her trailer and she had to sit down. 'Did Scott just ask me out?' Lauren thought.

Later that night

Matt showed up at Lauren's house around 7 pm. Lauren and Matt silently walked to the car. Not knowing who should start talking first. They got to the car and they drove in an uncomfortable silence to the movie theater.


When they got to the movie theater Matt bought there tickets and they walked to get there popcorn. They got into the theater where the movie was playing. 'I have to say something,' Lauren thought.

"Matt."

"Yea Lauren?"

"Why'd you leave?"

"I knew that you'd ask that sooner or later. I just wasn't ready for a serious relationship."

"Well you didn't show it!"

"I know but I got scared and I ran. I tend to do that a lot. But I thought about it and I really missed you."

"I missed you to."

"And I didn't know how to confront you so I left you a note."

"Well I'm happy you did."

"You are? Good. Or I would have been really embarrassed."

Lauren really was glad that he did. She really had missed him. She leaned her head against his shoulder. He put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. Lauren smiled.

Matt dropped Lauren off at about 10. Lauren asked to be dropped off early because she had an early day tomorrow. Also, she hadn't really been feeling that great lately. She really needed her sleep.
