Hey guys! I'm really sorry it took me so long to update, I'm really busy! Sorry that this chapter is kind of short, but the idea for this one has been growing in my head for a few weeks now. I think it shows how Lauren and Brian aren't perfect and are both just human. Oh, and Darren. Please review!
Team Starkid broke up a little over 5 months ago . After a rather nasty fight, the members rarely speak to each other. After living with his parents the past few months, Brian Holden learns something about his mom- she's dying. He's suddenly afraid he won't be able to give her the one thing she always looked forward to- his wedding. This is what happens when an old friend volunteers to help solve his problem, and how they fall in love on the journey while trying to bring the group back together 3 (Completely AU after Starship)I have never met Team Starkid. I love them all and this is just fiction, none of it is true.
A/N: Guys! This is it! Ahhh! This is the last chapter (besides the epilogue)! Sorry I didn't warn you, but I'm just kind of running out of juice for this story.(Plus ever since Breredith has been confirmed, writing this has felt kind of wrong) At least i didn't abandon it! I hope yall love it as much I ask loved writing it. And today I'm also going to upload/update the first chapter to Cupcakes and Sprinkles, a next gen. fic for Harry Potter that I'm writing! Once I upload that, please check it out and review! Thanks so much for sticking around through all of this! Special Thanks to Noel and Fireflies-glow1! (And sorry this chapter is kind of short...)
Lauren's POV
This is so stupid… I couldn't help but think as I sat at a table in Bryant Park, clutching my mug of coffee, one headphone in my ear as I listened to my Taylor Swift Playlist. It had been two weeks since I ran into Darren. Since Katie called. That memory played itself in my mind
"Bri?" I called out timidly as I entered our apartment. He immediately ran out of the bedroom and engulfed me in a hug.
"Lo, I'm so sorry." He spoke into my shoulder. "I was the biggest douche bag ever. I love you so much."
I could feel tears pricking the back of my eyes as they met his blue ones.
"Brian, Katie called me. I- I have some bad news."
A few days after the funeral I flew back to New York for work. And Darren, after conversing with Walker and apparently the rest of our friends, decided to take the opportunity of Brian being out of town to call a team meeting. The first one in almost a year. Too bad it didn't really have to do anything with team Starkid.
"Okay, Lauren, what you and Holden are doing is pretty stupid."
"Oh, Hello to you too, Dyl." I greeted as Dylan, Joe, Joe, Joey, Meredith, Darren, Julia, Matt Lang and Brian Rosenthal sat around me.
"What possessed you to get engaged?" Meredith questioned.
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
"Well, what possessed you to call a Team meeting over my love life? Why not over a musical or something?"
"Well, we do have a musical idea but we find this more interesting." Matt commented.
"What!?" I sat up straighter.
"Uh-uh, you speak first." Joey shook a finger at me. I snorted.
We got engaged because we love each other- we've always loved each other. We've just been too cowardly to notice it.
"Remember when that person at a Q&A asked if Brian and I were dating?" I reminisced, and took a sip of coffee.
The jury's out, but my choice is you
"But you guys weren't dating!" Darren exclaimed.
"This has nothing to do with any of you whatsoever!"
The stakes are high, the water's rough
I stood up and my headphone fell out of my ear, "Everyone has a different love story. You each have had your own, and some of you will have more. Me and Brian, our love story may look different than yours' and you might find it crazy, but that's fine! You know why? Because this is ours. It's ours and not yours. We don't really fucking care what you think because you can't control what we do. If you don't want to go to the wedding-fine! Hell, you'll be saving us money! But you're supposed to be our friends! Aren't friends supposed to support each other?" My voice cracked during the question, " So unless you are actually going to talk about the musical now, I'm leaving." I pushed in my chair for emphasis. Deep down I knew I wasn't actually going to leave- we haven't all been together for a year! (I'm not counting the funeral, that was too sad. It was nice of them to show up, though.)
"It's about batman." Matt said quietly after a moment of silence. "Holy Musical B man."
Pleaaaaaassssseeeee review! :)
Love yall,
Bri
