Lyrics:

You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the puch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down

~~~~4-5 hours later~~~~~

I woke up groggy and my sight was a bit blurry. I looked around wondering where I was. "Oh man, I feel like I did some dope or something," I muttered, still a bit groggy from waking up. I sat up and rubbed my eyes to help clear my vision before I went to the bathroom. I grabbed a wash-towel and ran it under hot water, and then put the wash-towel on my eyes for fifteen minutes each to prevent a sty. Then I also put the rag on my face to help wash out the dirt that was in my skin.

I sighed happily and put the rag in the laundry basket to have it cleaned. I went downstairs and I smiled at Sides, who was plumped down on the couch sleeping.

Let's wake this pretty boy up... Lauren Style! I thought while I got my nail polish and make up and brought it downstairs and started to apply it on him. After a couple of minutes I got up and I took a pic and got a airhorn where the hell my uncle got one I have no idea! But I blew after trying to not laugh and Sideswipe shot up like Redneck smelling meat. (NO PUN INTENDED)

"AHH! Oh, hi Lauren, what's up?" Sideswipe said airly after a second of screaming.

I giggled. "Nothing," I said, and then went to get a apple to eat. I just smiled as I bit into the apple.

There was a knock and the door opened before I could say anything. I watched Ironhide walk in. "Mornin', I guess," I muttered under my breath to Ironhide.

Ironhide just grunted and replied "You too, Princess."

"Whoever is up there, thinking this is hilarious, what have I done? I've been a good girl!" I groaned and looked up to the roof to the deity that was watching me.

"Hmph, I don't think you have been a good girl," Ironhide muttered. I glared at him and he just glared at me. Ironhide opened his mouth and said the worst thing he has said to me so far at least. "Your uncle is missing because of you. You think that's good?" Ironhide sneered.

"No, It wasn't my fault!" I replied defensively.

Ironhide just glared at me and replied, "Yes it is! You worked for the Decepticons and the Decepticons 'took' you and you 'escaped' while your uncle is still a lab rat. For all we know he could be dead because of you!"

I stepped back a couple steps away from Ironhide and I looked at Ironhide with hurt. "No, no, you're wrong! My uncle is not a KIA! He's not! Megatron swore to me and so did Hook. They would not kill him, they wouldn't!" I stepped back again and I felt my eyes stinging with tears starting to form.

"They would, Lauren. Just because you're the princess, they still test on humans and kill them. They may have sworn to you, but they break promises because they're Deceptions! Decepticons deceive! They lie for their own good, and they do it so well that they sometimes have the smartest people in the galaxy join the Deceptions." Ironhide sneered, but his words hit me home. Without thinking, I bolted out the door and ran down the road crying. After a moment, I stopped because since I was running, I was out of breath. I just fell to my knees and I let out a ear-shattering scream. It was a scream of great despair.

I put my head on the ground and started to beat the earth and I again let out another scream. I sobbed hard and eventually, it was Epps who saw me. He ran up to me, and then hefted me up. Frightened, I turned to punch whomever in the face, but I couldn't see who it was through my tears. Epps easily blocked the punch and pulled me to his chest.

I let out another scream, and I sobbed into Epps's chest. Epps just rubbed my back up and down trying to comfort me but it wasn't working. I managed to calm down before almost losing my voice. "Shh, baby girl what happened?" Epps asked me.

I sniffled and I replied in a hoarse voice, "Ironhide said that Will died and it was because of me" Epps just grunted.

Ratchet came rolling up to Epps and I, and his holoform got out. He motioned to me to come to him and I did. "I guess Ironhide told you the news that we temporarily put your uncle under KIA?" Ratchet asked.

I replied "No, he just told me that Will is gone forever because of me"

Ratchet just cursed and said to me "We requested that you stay here for your protection, but we believe that you're the one that can change everything." I nodded my head okay.

~~~~~2 months later~~~~

After two months of learning about my uncle, I started to change and it wasn't a good change. I changed my hair color to jet black and I started to wear all black. The Autobots didn't know that I cut myself, which I have been doing for the past month. I started to become silent and not laugh anymore.

The Autobots treated me the same they treat family. Me? I treated them like fellow soldiers and sometimes a piece of shit. Sideswipe had been distant but I have been too. I had a feeling that the Prime and everyone else knows where my uncle is, but they know something that I don't.

"Lauren... Lauren... LAUREN!" Sideswipe shouted my name again after the third time I looked at him.

"What?" I said.

Sideswipe just shrugged "I dont know I was wandering if you were listening," he said.

I looked down and back at Sides "Sorry, Sides" I apologized.

"You know what Lauren? I hate how you tune me out and I hate how you changed from a happy girl to this... this… thing! You never smile. Lauren, you changed! I want the old you back," Sideswipe vented to me.

"I'm sorry Sides, I'm not who I used to be. I lost my only family and this is how I changed. It's because of my uncle's KIA" I replied.

"Lauren it's only temporary!" Sideswipe yelled at me. I just rolled my eyes and walked away from Sideswipe.

Lauren, you're hurting Sideswipe he loves you to death and he would even die for you. The essence whispered in my mind and I thought back to it

Oh, well.

The essence just sighed, and muttered, You should apologize for how you're treating the autobots. I thought back to it,

No, you should then, but I hate it when you take over my body.

I went into my quarters and turned on my mix CD, one that I made a month ago. I listened to it until Low by Kelly Clarkson was on.

I don't remember that being on my CD, oh well, I thought while I was laying on my bed.

Everybody's talking

I started to have flashes of seeing me happy with my friends and that soon changed.

But they don't say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I dont want their sympathy
It's cool you didn't want me
Sometimes you can't go back
By why'd you have to go
And make a mess like that
Well I just have say, before I let go

Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold

My next flash was of the destruction of the hurricane and my friend telling me to be loyal to the Decepticons.

Cause what you did was low

No, I don't need your number
There's nothing left to say
'Cept I never thought
It'd hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I've gotta go

I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can't say that
This to show, for all the time I loved you so, so

Another flash was something of the future. Autobots were living happily with me in the top of society with Sideswipe's arm hanging lazily around my shoulder. I started to cry for all the regret.

I heard a knock on my door and when I opened it, I saw a dark hooded figure. Unsure of what to do, I let him in. It wasn't until when the figure revealed his face that I started to back away very fast from him. "YOU CANT BE HERE, YOU CAN'T BE! I SAW YOU DIE IN FRONT OF ME"
