Lauren stared at the bottle in Jake's hand she took it off him and sat on the arm of the couch Jake smiled wide as he saw her really thinking about taking another drink, she stood off the arm and smiled at him she moved the bottle up to her mouth she then walked into the kitchen, Jake turned and followed her he walked in as she was pouring it down the drain "What are you doing?" he asked staring at the liquid pour out "I am not that girl anymore!" she yelled sticking the empty bottle on the table Jake stared sadly "Oh i'm sorry did you want to finish that?"
"You have made a mistake!" he yelled "No I think the biggest mistake I made was trusting an ex alcoholic who is actually and alcoholic again, you sicken me Jake no wonder Sadie left you you're a state!" Jake stared angrilly "I'm a state am I? I only went to rehab for my daughter but you, you almost died who's the state now?" Lauren walked towards him "That default made me stronger and by the way if I had relapsed last night I wouldn't have done that right there which means you did something to my drink!" Jake's eyes trailed off "You have no proof that I did anything to your drink!" he yelled Lauren smiled "Goodbye Jake" she pushed him to the door and opened it "If you're so sure you didn't relapse last night, then why don't they believe you" Lauren stared "They're disappointed they never said they didn't believe me" Jake turned and made his way slowly down the steps "Bye now!" she called she went to close the door and noticed him get into a nearby car Lauren stared all around and closed the door behind her as she ran to the car she knocked on the window, the window opened "Wanna come with me Lauren!?"
"Get out of the car" Jake opened the door, Lauren sat in the passenger seat "Get out of the car!" she repeated "Or what Lauren? what could you possibly do?" Lauren stared at him confused "Do you remember what happened the last time you drove like this...you cannot drive in this state!" she yelled "Watch me" he replied starting the car and driving off Lauren closed her door quickly and moved towards Jake's side she then held the steering wheel trying to get him to stop "You'll either kill us or someone else" she yelled "That's the plan" he smiled Lauren took control of the steering wheel and turned it into a nearby wall, the crash wasn't that big so no one was hurt Lauren sat back on the passenger seat and sighed a sigh of relief before climbing out of the car, Jake watched her walk away and repeatedly banged the steering wheel he almost had her.
Lauren made her way back to the branning house she opened the door and closed it lightly she lay on the back of it, she was almost seriously hurt and at that moment in time no one would have believed her story she walked into the kitchen to be met with an angry Abi and even angrier Joey she quizzed their expressions and stared at the table where the empty bottle was sat "Oh, oh no Jake was here he-" Joey glared "Enough of the excuses!" Lauren stared at Abi "I actually though you had changed" she replied, Lauren stared at the both of them "Do I look like someone who drank all that? I told you before Jake was here he was drunk and offered me a drink but I poured the whole thing down the drain!" she explained "You don't believe me do you?" she asked sadly "You were drinking when I walked in" answered Joey "As true as that is, I just wanted to know if I could do it!"
"Yeah well judging by the fact you drank it I think you can" he answered walking passed her "Please stop I didn't enjoy it and and it was really difficult if I relapsed it would have been easy, please believe me Joey" He stared at her "I can't" he walked out the door "Abi come on!" Abi glared at her "I want to believe you Lauren but I can't" she followed Joey out the door. Lauren sighed loudly and walked into the sitting room she stared at the glass shards on the floor and all the liquid, if she was really going back to her old ways she wouldn't have done that she cleaned it all up as the signs became clearer, Jake did spike her drink that's why he put on that jacket for no random reason! But why he did it is something Lauren wanted to know. She walked to the window and stared Joey was talking to Jake she backed away from the window and walked out the door "Alright mate thanks for telling me bye" she heard Joey answer as Jake walked away, Joey turned and sighed he stared angrilly "Did I do something wrong?" she asked "Believe me Joey i didn't like it" he mimicked "What are you talking about?" she asked "If you didn't drink that bottle to yourself then why the hell did Jake just tell me you crashed his car because you were driving drunk!"
"Joey I didn't crash his car and I wasn't drunk" she answered "Really because Jake told me he was in the car too when this was happening" Lauren stared puzzled "I'm not drunk Joey!" he sighed again "Just save it Lauren!" he yelled walking off "Why are you on his side all of a sudden?" she yelled after him. What was it going to take to get Joey to believe her.
N/A: So what do we think? Will Joey finally come to a realisation that Jake is taking Lauren down step by step
