Y/n's pov.
Maybe it was the fact that we've come so far that I felt my tears stinging my eyes.

I didn't want Lauren to see me cry, so I looked away from her and started typing on my laptop.

"I remember the day you told me you wanted to write a book about us." Lauren whispered.

I turned my head to my right and saw Lauren with tears in her eyes.

"Remember the day your parents told you you were sold to me?" She asked quietly.

A small sad smile played on her lips as she said those words.

"How could I forget that day my life completely changed." I whispered back to her.

She gave me a small smile again and she sighed.

"A good change, right?" She asked.

She was stalling.

I didn't know why though.

We both talked about divorce before and how much we wanted it, why was she stalling?

"A great change." I answered, a small smile forming on my face.

Silence filled the room as Lauren played with the corner of the divorce papers.

"What time do the kids go home?" Lauren asked.

"Any minute now." I answered and stood up.

I walked to the kitchen and heated the left over pasta I made last night.

I put in the microwave and waited for it.

I just stood there looking at the microwave as the plate spun.

I felt arms around me waist and I suddenly heard a familiar tune.

"It feels like a tear in my heart
Like a part of me missing,"

I turned around and rose an eyebrow  at Lauren.

This was one of her artists that she signed a long time ago.

She gave me a small smile and shrugged.

"Tears on my face I can't take it
If lonely's a taste, then it's all that I'm tasting,"

She took my hand and turned the lights off and put the blinds down.

We both loved how dim a room would be.

"Do you hear my cry?
I cry, oh."

She took her heels off quickly and took my hand.

I didn't know how you would dance to this song, but we managed to do so.

Can you hold me? [x2]
Can you hold me in your arms?

"I love you." She whispered before she wrapped her arms around me.

"Just wrap me in your arms, in your arms
I don't wanna be nowhere else,"

I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Take me from the dark, from the dark
I ain't gonna make it myself,"

"Put your arms around me
Put your arms around me
Let your love surround me
I am lost
I am lost."

"If I ain't got you, I ain't got nothing at all." She whispered as the song played in the background.

"If I ain't got you here
If I ain't got you, I ain't got nothing at all."

She pulled away and took a step back.

She reached for my arms and we just danced to the beat.

"Can you hold me? [x2]
Can you hold me in your arms?"

It was like one of those interpretive dance acts you would see.

We danced and we didn't care if people saw us.

Every step, every breath, every time we locked our eyes, I could feel my heart break more and more.

"If I ain't got you [x2]
I ain't got nothing [x2]
If I ain't got you
I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
I'm lonely
If I ain't with you I'm lonely
I'm lonely
I need you
I need you."

Was this something we both actually wanted?

Or was it just me?

"Can you hold me? [x2]
Can you hold me in your arms?"

Did she feel like we were fading away from eachother too?

Or was it just me?

"Feel like it's just me, like it's just me
What it gon' take? What it gon' be?
I don't even know, I don't even know,"

Maybe we just needed to fall apart to fall back together?

"But I'm lonely, lonely
Feel like I don't even know me
Feels like I don't even know me
I don't even know me."

Or is it just me?
