Best Friends? - Part 30

"Were engaged!!" Kendall and Lauren said at the same time and my eyes nearly fell out of my head as I remained silent too shocked to find words.

I sat on the couch in pure silence as I watched the excited face of my best friend, she just told me she was engaged and I couldn't help but think this was too fast and too soon.

"Guys! This is incredible!" Cara spoke up as she stood up from the couch to hug the two girls but I couldn't move, I couldn't say a word, this was a lot to take in and I couldn't believe my best friend was engaged at only 20 years old.

I watched the three girls interact as I sat there still stunned, Cara was gushing over Kendall's engagement ring which gave me the impression that Lauren had proposed, I swallowed hard as I stood up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen to get a bottle of water because it felt like my voice had gone mute. I stood in the kitchen looking down at the sink as a nervous pit formed in my stomach, I wanted to be happy for Lauren, I really did but I couldn't, I know what Lauren's been through and I know she loves Kendall but I'm so afraid she'll get hurt again.

"Y/N?" I heard Lauren's raspy voice call from the entryway of the kitchen and I immediately turned my head towards her, she had a smile on her face that couldn't be described, she looked happy and as I looked at her I realized I couldn't be the one to rain on her parade.

"Yeah Lo?" I asked as Lauren took a step into the kitchen and she examined me carefully.

"You didn't say anything?" She questioned and every part of me wanted to tell her that this was wrong, that she was too young and that this could end horribly but as I looked into those burning sapphire eyes I saw happiness and joy and I guess at the end of the day that's all I want for Lauren.

"Yeah, well I was shocked but I'm happy for you Lo, I'm really, really happy for you." I said as I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced a smile on my face.

"Okay... now tell me the truth." Lauren said not buying my fake happiness; I huffed loudly and downed the last bit of my water before I decided to speak up again.

"Lauren all I ever want for you is to be happy, that's all I've ever wanted for you and I can see that Kendall does that for you, I can see that you truly love each other, I know you guys are the perfect match and I always thought one day you'd get married but now? You're 20 years old Lauren! You barely know what you want, are you really capable of making this decision? Marriage is huge." I said honestly and I watched as Lauren's eyes changed from concern to something unrecognizable.

"Y/N, you're my best friend and I knew you'd be skeptical about this but I'm telling you: I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life, I want to spend the rest of my life with Kendall, she makes me so happy and she's the only thing I feel like I've gotten right in my life, I love her Y/N and you don't have to like it but I'm asking you to support me because you love me." Lauren explained so fluidly I couldn't help but smile, I saw in Lauren's eyes that she really wanted this, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Kendall and even though I think it's a terrible idea right now, I will support anything that makes her happy.

"I do love you Lauren, you're my rock and my best friend, all I want is your happiness and if marrying Kendall is the way to do it then so be it, I support you Lauren Jauregui, I'm here for you." I said with a smile and Lauren brightened up immediately as she collided into me giving me the warmest hug I've ever received.

"Thank you Y/N, thank you so much!" She said as she unwrapped herself from me and I nodded my head.

"I'd do anything for you but I have a question." I said and Lauren's faced scrunched up in confusion.
