Chapter 15

A couple of days later...

Lauren's p.o.v

Me and Joey are walking through the market hand in hand the looks we keep getting are really starting to bother me we got half way down the market and i dropped his hand.

"Babe?" Joey questioned.

"I can't do this have you seen the way everybody keeps looking at us they all think we're disgusting"i said turning and running home before Joey could answer me.I ran straight up stairs into my room ignoring the calls of my name by my mum. I was layed on my bed looking up at the ceiling when there was a knock at my door.

"Leave me alone" i shouted.

The door opened anyway and Joey came in.

"Babe talk to me"Joey said sitting next to me.

"What's there to say" i said

"Why did you just run off like that" he questioned.

"Did you see the way everyone was looking at us they all hate us" i said.

"it doesn't matter what anybody else says or thinks or the way they are looking at us we have nothing to be ashamed of "Joey said sighing.

"Don't we? That's not what everyone else thinks maybe their right maybe we are disgusting" i said as tears began to fall.

"Please don't say that babe we're not disgusting is that what you really feel in here" he said putting her hand over where my heart is.

"No of course not you know i love you but how can everyone else say its wrong and it still be right" i questioned.

"Cause people don't and cant understand the way we feel about each other but that's their problem cause one day they are going to have to accept it cause we're not going anywhere and we're going to stay together" he said.

"How do you stay so strong even with the way everyone has been treating us"i asked.

"Cause i don't care what people think about us. I love you so much and i will gladly take all the nasty comments and the filthy looks as long as i have you" he said smiling.

"Really" i said shocked . I cant believe that he would take all of that to be with me no guy has ever been prepared to stay with me no matter what happens.I have always know Joey was special but now i know he is one in a million.

"Really when are you going to believe that i want to be with you forever. I don't care what life throws at us I'm not going anywhere" he said.

"I guess its just hard for me to believe that a guy could even love me without wanting to be there no matter what happens"i stated.

"Well you better get use to it. Now come on drama queen time to get ready for work" he said before pulling me off my bed to stand in front of me. Then he kissed me passionately before going down stairs to wait for me.I'm not really looking forward to going to work cause it means seeing Sharron and after she broke her promise I'm not sure i can keep my temper under control. I cant believe she has done this to us.I don't think she realizes or even cares the trouble she has caused.

Later that night...

The club has been quite bust tonight so i haven't really seen Sharron. Thankfully no one we know has been in yet tonight.

"What are you thinking about" Joey questioned from next to me.

"Nothing really" i said before turning around and kissing him it feels so good to be able to kiss him in public even if people don't like it.

"Lauren,Joey you can go on your break in a minute but can i have a quick word in the office first"Sharron said us just being able to hear her over the music.

"Grate what does she want"i mumbled to Joey .

"I don't know babe come on we better go and find out " Joey said before grabbing my hand and leading me to the office.

"Why don't you both sit down" Sharron said smiling.

"No just tell us what it is you want"i said getting annoyed quicker than i thought i would.

"I just wanted to say sorry about what happened at Abi's birthday party"She said.

"Your sorry have you any idea what you did by telling everyone they all hate us now no one can stand to be around us and its all your fault" i shouted.

"Lauren i promise i never meant to tell everyone. I just had a bad day you know what its like so i had a few drinks"Sharron said.

"Don't think that just cause you had one bad day that you know anything about what Lauren has been through"Joey said.

"I'm not saying that I'm just saying why i had a drink" she said.

I could tell Joey was starting to get really angry so i put my hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down.

"Look lets just go on our break " i said pulling Joey's hand.

"Are you going to tell me why you were getting so angry" i questioned once we got outside.

"I just don't like that people judge you for drinking when they don't know the reasons behind it"he said.

Could he get any sweeter is it wrong him being protective is a real turn on for me.

"Thank you for sticking up for me baby " i said before pulling him closer and kissing him passionately.

It started to get very heated until i realized if where we were.

"Joey we need to stop" i said. He just groaned before carrying on i got lost in the kiss again before realizing we had to stop now before we couldn't.

"Joe" i said before pushing his chest gently.

"Babe" he groaned as we pulled away.

"Our breaks over we need to go back inside" i said before giving him one more quick kiss before going back inside.

Joey was hot on my heels as we got back inside the club.

"Tease" he whispered before going back behind the bar.

Half an hour had passed and we were near the end of our shift when Whitney,Fatboy,Poppy,Lucy and Tyler all walked into the club.

"Grate their all here i don't know if i can serve them" i said to Joey feeling like i could cry at the looks they were already giving us.

"Its OK babe I'll do it" he whispered.

"What can i get you " Joey questioned.

"Someone normal to serve us" Lucy said.

"What i can i get you " he repeated.

"2 bottles of beer and 3 vodka and cokes please" Fatboy said smiling.

Fatboy is always so sweet he never judges anyone he is probably the only person apart from Poppy who won't think were disgusting.

"You two make me sick" Whitney said before Tyler dragged her over to the table.

"Hang in there baby girl it will be alright in the end " Fats said smiling before walking over to the others.

I felt the tears starting to build in my eyes again. i looked at Joey briefly to see the worried look on his face.

"Are you OK babe" he questioned smiling sympathetically.

"I just need a minute " i said before running into the bathroom. As soon as i got in there i ran into the cubical and burst into tears. I still sat in the bathroom crying about 15 minutes later When i heard someone walk in.

"Lauren are you still in here"Joey said.

I sighed before wiping my eyes hoping that Joey he wouldn't realize i had been crying then i opened the door i failed hiding that i had been crying cause he noticed straight away.

"Oh babe come here" he said before pulling me into a tight hug.

"You shouldn't let them get to you" he breathed in my ear.

"Can you just take me home our shifts over now anyway"i said smiling weakly as we pulled away.

"Sure babe come on"he said before we left the club and starting walking home.

We were walking through the square when Derek appeared in front of us.

"Can we help you " Joey said standing in front of me.

"Well Joe i am surprised i thought you would have dumped her and been on to the next one by now" Derek replied.

"Just leave us alone Derek or i could tell the police you are up to something dodgy" Joey replied obviously without thinking.

"What" Derek said taking a step towards Joey.

"Lets just go home Joe " i pleaded.

"Leave them alone"we heard a voice say from behind us we turned round to see my mum and auntie Emma stood there.

"Come on lets go home" Auntie Emma said as she started to lead us in the direction of number 5.

"Right who want's something to eat" mum questioned as we got inside.

"No I'm good I'm just going to go to bed its been a long day " i said walking upstairs Joey following me.

"Come here" i said pulling Joey into his room and shutting the door.

"What are you doing babe your mums not going to be happy about this "Joey said as i got into his bed.

"I don't care I'm sleeping in here tonight unless you don't want me to " i questioned smirking.

"Course i do babe " He said before getting into bed with me and pulling me closer before we fell into a much needed sleep.
