Chapter Three

January 19th, 2005

Lauren was really tired from the previous night. She had a pretty good time with Matt, but she couldn't help thinking about what Scott had asked her.

'I need some coffee' Lauren thought as she walked to her trailer.


Later on that afternoon Melissa and Lauren decided to go for a walk around the WB since they had a few hours to burn. Melissa couldn't help but notice how distracted Lauren had been all day.

"Hun is everything ok? Melissa asked.

"Huh? What? Oh sorry" Lauren said coming out a daze.

She had been thinking about what Scott had asked her all day. Did she really want to go out with him? She knew he was nice and all and something inside her was saying 'Go out with him!'

Melissa looked at Lauren. She knew something was on her mind and she was going to find out.


'Uh oh' Lauren thought. Melissa was looking at her the way she did when she knew something was up.

'Should I tell her about Scott?' she wondered.

"Lauren, wanna tell me what's on your mind?" Melissa asked with a concerned voice.

'Ok Lauren. You can do it.' she said to herself.

"Well kinda yea" Lauren said trying to figure out how to word this.

Melissa made a face that saying 'come on tell me.'

"Well yesterday Scott asked me out." She started.


"What! Oh my god that's awesome!" Melissa said jumping and screaming.

"Keep it down Mel! Someone might come over." Lauren said getting a little nervous.

'I hope she doesn't tell anyone' Lauren thought.

"What else? What else?" Melissa said getting excited.

'I always knew Scott had a thing for Lauren' she thought to herself with a grin on her face.

"Well, I told him I couldn't that night because I was going out with Matt." Lauren answered.

Melissa's eyes grew wide.

"What the hell! Since when were you and Matt back together!" Melissa said.

"Well a few nights he left a note at my house asking if I would go out with him and I decided to just to find out why he left." Lauren said feeling kind of bad that she didn't go out with Scott.

"But I thought you were through with him!" Melissa said almost yelling.

"Ya I thought so too. I don't even know why I went. I guess I just felt lonely." she said.

"Oh" Melissa said feeling sort of sorry for Lauren. She didn't like when Lauren was like this.

"And I don't know if I want to go out with Scott. I mean he is really nice and I think I want to." Lauren explained with a smile on her face.

"Well then go and get him," Melissa said. Lauren was one of her best friends now and she was so happy that just talking about her and Scott going out made her smile."

"Well I don't want to go ask him. I don't want to seem slutty," Lauren explained. She was now getting a little sad that she didn't say yes.

"Well I can fix that," Melissa said with authority.

"Mel? What are you going to do? If it's anything bad then I don't want you to," Lauren said. Even though she hoped that Melissa did it anyways.

"Well Lauren I don't want you to be lonely anymore. So I'm going to help you," Melissa said. She was so happy that she got to help her friend.

"Well Mel. Just don't do anything embarrassing. I have to go get ready for a scene with Alexis. Bye." Lauren said. She didn't really have to go get ready for a scene with Alexis she just wanted to give Melissa and opportunity to go talk to Scott. She was so happy that her friend was going to do that for her.

Lauren walked back to her trailer and turned on the TV waiting until she had to do a scene. She just hoped that Melissa talked to Scott soon. Melissa walks over to Scott's trailer and knocks on the door. She hears footsteps coming towards the door. Scott opened the door.

"Oh Mel. Hey, what are you doing here? Come in," Scott said. Curious why Melissa was standing at his trailer door.

'Come on Melissa just get to it. Don't waste anytime,' Melissa thought to herself. She couldn't believe how nervous she was now that she was actually at his trailer door.

"Scott. I need to talk to you about Lauren," Melissa said.
