>Lauren Jauregui/You Imagines<

Take The Blame (Part I)

Y/n's pov.
I ran and ran, for hours and hours, but I couldn't catch the guy I wanted to catch.

My name's Y/n.

I work in a gang started by the Jauregui's.

The eldest out of the three siblings was Lauren.
Coincidentally, she's my girlfriend.

We robbed a guy's house and stole a car today and, well, a guard that was guarding the house escaped.

It was my duty to find him and kill him.
If not, we would all go to jail.

I didn't want to let my boss and his family down.

Riiing...Riiing...

I opened my phone and answered the call.

I already knew what was going to happen.

"Where the fuck are you?!" Lauren asked.

"I tried. I'm sorry." I said.

"What do you mean?! You're not leaving Y/n! I don't care if you didn't catch him, where the fuck are you?!" She said.

"On my way to the police station. I'll take the blame." I said and hung up.

I didn't want the whole Jauregui family to go to jail because of me.

I walked to the police station and they immediately said "she's one of them!".

They asked me a couple of questions about the the Jauregui's but I didn't tell them anything.

I was put inside a cell with another girl who days later, became my best friend.

>Months Later <

"Y/n. Wake up. Today's your last day." I heard Dinah, my best friend, say.
"Fuck. Really?" I asked in disbelief.

She nodded her head and I hugged her.

"I'm gonna miss you." I said.
"I'm gonna miss you too." She said.

Hours later, I was headed to my home.

I didn't want to go home, because Lauren was my neighbour.

But then again, I don't know where they are and what they've been doing, so I was curious.

I heard the car stop, and I walked out of the car with a bag slung over my right shoulder.

I missed my house.

A lot of things happened in there.

I looked over to the Jauregui's house and saw a guy trimming the lawn.

'Probably Lauren's new boyfriend.' I thought.

I opened the house and sat down.

I saw the empty bottles of wine and beer Lauren and I used to drink were still on the table, the pictures her and I hung up were still there.

I took a trash bag out and cleaned it up.

I put sunglasses on, just in case I bump into one of the Jauregui's and I walked out of the house to throw the trash.

I opened the dumpster and threw the trash.

"Hey! Can you open it for me?" A person asked behind me.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Lauren standing there with trash bags.

'Fuck.' I thought opening the dumpster.

"Thanks." She said as she threw the trash.

I saw that she still had the promise ring I gave her, and so, I quickly took mine off.

"Wait a minute." She said looking at my face and back to my hand which contained the promise ring.
"Y/n?" She asked.

"Uhm...no." I said trying not to sound like me.

"Don't lie to me." She said.
"Uhm.."

"Is it really you?" She asked.
"Y-yeah." I said.

She took my sunglasses off and gasped.

She hugged me and I hugged back.

"Why'd you do it?" She asked sobbing.
"I didn't want you to stay in jail with your family." I said.

"You left me. You left us. We all promised that even if something really bad happens, we'll all take the blame." She said.
"I know..." I whispered.

After a while, Lauren had to leave.

She told me about her new boyfriend, which kind of caused her to leave.

I walked in my house huffing and decided to lay down for a while.

I heard a knock on the door and opened it and saw Mike and Clara.

"Y/n!" They greeted.
"Hello Mr. And Mrs. Jauregui." I greeted.

"You shouldn't have taken the blame! Now, Chris doesn't have a best friend, Taylor hasn't been herself and Lauren, Lauren changed!" Mike started.
"I know Mr. Jauregui. But I didn't want you guys to spend so much time in jail." I said.

The Jauregui's were like my family.

"You need to get Lauren to change back. She isn't herself." Clara said.

I just hummed in response and they told me they were going to have a barbeque.

They left hours later, and I prepared for the barbeque.
