~Sorry I waited so long to update! I've been busy and all that real life stuff. This chapter will be told in BO'S P.O.V … As always, enjoy.~
BO
I had to admit it was hard to let Lauren leave my arms; even it was only for a few hours. Being with her, it felt so natural, like she was the missing piece to the puzzle. Even my newfound friendship with Kenzi had just seemed right. The energetic Russian girl felt like a sister more than a friend, like I had know her in another life. It probably should have freaked me out. Especially the fact that I knew I was in love with her. I was completely in love with Lauren Lewis, her kindness, her mind, her gorgeous body (duh), her ability to get lost in her own thoughts… She had quickly warmed her way into my heart and now that she was there I knew there was no way to shake the feeling. I had never been in love before, but I knew that this it what it was supposed to feel like.
I didn't have a great childhood… I had always seen myself as less than. It was when I started to stay with my Aunt and Uncle that I started to come into my own. It was then that I became me- or at least I thought so. I thought the nights I spent away from my father and his never-ending heartbreak and drunkenness that that was when I discovered who I was. But now I knew that I was only half the person I could be, that I hadn't reached my full potential. It was the short amount of time spent with Lauren that started to change me, that gave me a fresh breath of air into my life. I noticed myself becoming softer, but not in a bad way. I always feared that falling in love and truly opening myself up to someone would make me weak, but to my delightful surprise it was the opposite. I was stronger, I was kinder at heart, I felt the weight on my shoulders reduce, and I felt the pain in my heart lessen. And I would be blind to not realize that it was all because of her, because of Lauren. If Sawyer ever heard me speak like this she would throw up… Maybe I should let hear me speak like this?
"BoBo?" I turned to see the blue-eyed girl waving her hand in front of my face
"Sorry Kenzi, I got distracted." I grinned and she rolled her eyes at me
"I figured as much… It's nothing new my dear, Lauren gets the same look on her face when she's day dreaming about you." She winked at me and I just laughed back at her. She was so much like my own bestie that it kind of scared me.
"Sorry, can't really help it…" She looked at me and shook her head.
We decided to try and fix up my room while Lauren was at dinner- keyword try. We successfully gathered up all the trash and random items we found (i.e. someone else's shoes, a plastic baseball bat, a hat that looked like a turkey… the usual stuff you'd find in your own room.) we threw all that junk away and my room looked a lot better. We had removed the Christmas tree and instead of throwing it away we plugged it in and left it standing off to the side. To reward ourselves on the progress we made we decided to open a bottle of tequila, and then got sort of distracted... By sort of I mean completely. We had… well… turned my room into a fort. Like the ones you used to make as when you were a kid with the couch cushions. We used my extra sheets and blankets and even went to Kenzi's to get a bunch from her room. We had, uh done some remodeling. Seeing as more than half the bottle was gone we were sufficiently buzzed and quickly approaching the drunken part of our night. I hadn't laughed this hard a long time, I was glad Kenzi was Lauren's friend because I knew she forced Lauren out of her books and into some fun.
~Grrrr… I really hate to keep it this short (I really do) but I don't want to leave you guys hanging. I wanted to post more but I have to be up within the next 5 hours and should probably get some sleep (boo). I wont take as long to update and hope you'll forgive me. There is some drama ahead as I being to pick up the pace. Until next time.~
