Lauren Jauregui imagines

'I need you to give me 3 years'

You're dating Lauren. Have been for 4 months. However, things for you have been a struggle. You've been fired. Today. You're going to talk to Lauren about what should happen.

She's just sat on the sofa in her living room. You're at her house.

"Lauren i need to talk to you about something serious." You say.

"Okay. What is it?" Lauren asks.

"I got fired today. And i have no money. And i know that I'm not going to be able to do what i need to do in this relationship right now. But i really like you." You say.

"Okay. What do we do?" Lauren asks.

"I need you to give me 3 years." You say.

"For what?" Lauren asks.

"I'm going to take 3 years to get to a place i need to be at for things to work. And i just need you to trust me. All i need is 3 years. And if I'm not where i need to be in 3 years, you can move on from me." You say.

Lauren nods.

"Okay. Take as long as you need. I really like you too. Honestly, I'm more relieved that you're being straight forward about this rather than leaving it and letting it fester. Take 3 years to get yourself where you need to be." Lauren says.

You smile softly.

"Thank you for being so understanding about this." You say.

"I dont want things to go wrong between us. I like you. A lot. And if you need time to get things together then take that time. I want us to work out." Lauren says.

"Well that's good to know. Cos i want it to work out too. But i just need time to get my shit together. When i have all my shit figured out and all together, we can work it out." You say.

"Of course and i get that. But you dont have to go yet right?" Lauren asks.

"I'm gunna start tomorrow." You say.

"I was hoping you would. I was wondering if you wanted to stay the night." Lauren says.

"Yeah I'd like that."

When you left the next morning, Lauren just sat on the sofa thinking about whether or not you'll come back. She calls her bestest best friend Dinah to come comfort her. She just hopes that you manage to pull your life around.

3 years later

In the space of 3 years, you managed to snag yourself a record deal. In the first 5 months of pulling your shit together, you had a record deal and 5 songs being recorded. 3 years later, you're a world famous musician.

You're in a shop. It's exactly 3 years since you last spoke to Lauren. You both agreed, for the sake of it working, you both stop contact for the 3 years. But it wasn't just you that became a world famous singer. Lauren also happened to become one too. Releasing her first single just short of a year after your last conversation.

You're buying flowers for Lauren. You've had countless interviews asking about the connection you had with Lauren. You never answered the questions, cos privacy y'know.

You show up outside Lauren's front door and freeze. What if she moved on? You go knock on her door. She opens it. You both stand surprised by the presence of the other one.

"3 years and you just happened to get prettier." You say.

She goes a little red.

"Do you wanna come in?" Lauren asks.

"Is that okay?" You ask.

Lauren nods and steps aside. You walk in. When you're both in the living room, you pass her the flowers. Her favourite ones.

"I-uhm-i got you these." You say.

"You remembered." She says.

"Of course i remembered. How could i forget?" You ask.

She smiles and takes the flowers. She puts them in a vase in the kitchen. You both stand and talk for ages.

"Lauren I'm gunna be honest i missed you like crazy." You say.

"I missed you too." Lauren says.

"Did we break up?" You ask.

"I mean i guess we did." Lauren says.

"Then will you be my girlfriend. Again." You say.

She smiles and nods.

"Yes. Yes i will."

In the end, all was good. You eventually got married and moved in together not long after getting back together.

Thoughts? Bye bye :)))
