It had been over a week since my argument with Lauren and I hadn't seen nor heard from her since I guess I had begun to accept the fact that I alone had completely fucked things up between she and I and I had possibly lost my soulmate I felt so fucking stupid but I guess I caused it on myself  I figured that after Lauren had told her parents about our argument which I was almost certain that she had that maybe her parents decided that she should not peruse a relationship with me an further.. what if they hated me? what if I lost her for good.. I had questions but not an answer to either I kinda figured that I would be alone eventually because everything and everyone I love leaves me

 I remember when I was 10 years old my father bought me a puppy for my birthday of course against my mother's wishes I named him Leo and we were best buddies until one day I came  home from school and my mom had told me that he had run away it wasn't until I was 15 that she finally confessed and admitted that she gave him away because she didn't feel that I needed something that took my mind away from reality but Leo was all that I had my only happy place

I wanted more than anything to call Lauren or stop by her parents house just to check up on her and see how she was doing but fear kept me from taking that step. I was startled by a hard knock on the door you know the kind of knock police do when they have a warrant for your arrest.. I was hesitant because i wasn't expecting anyone but in any case I proceeded to the front door with caution

"Who is it!" I yelled in a serious tone as I attempted to peek through the peephole but the person standing by the door was too close

"It's Mike can you open the door honey I just wanna talk to you" it was Mike Lauren's dad my heart immediately began to pound in my chest I felt a panic attack coming on but I managed to keep it at bay what did he want? and why now? I thought to myself

I slowly opened the door to see Mike with his arms folded and a stern yet calm look on his face

"Let's take a drive" he said placing his strong heavy hand on my shoulder as he led me away from my front door

"where are we going?" I asked nervously

"To see Lauren" 

he replied quickly the look on his face screamed disappointment I was just ready for him to beat the stuffing out of me and get it over with even though I could feel that he wasn't that type of guy his facial expressions said otherwise

"Why are you taking me to see her? I doubt that she wants to talk to me it's been like almost two weeks Mike" I explained

"Oh trust me it took a lot of convincing but Clara and I like you we really like you and we want you two to work things out, Lauren told me and Clara everything about your argument and we were upset at first but then afterwards we noticed how Lauren seemed to be getting depressed ,not eating, and refusing to talk to us so our only solution was you, YOU need to fix this it's out of our hands Honey If you don't want to loose her fix it." he exclaimed in a stern voice 

Mike and I entered the Jauregui household to the smell of Cuban cuisine cooking and the sound of Taylor and Lauren laughing at something on t.v once again my heart sank into my chest knowing that I would soon have to be faced with apologizing to her I wasn't prepared I wasn't ready I didn't have the words but at the same time I couldn't turn back I stood awkwardly in the middle of the room as Mike placed his keys onto a side table in the livingroom
