Can't have you.
30.
At the apartment, Emily and Claire were in the kitchen talking while Joe and Kevin played around on the guitars Kevin kept in the living room. The smile on Emily’s face had been there ever since Kevin had asked her to marry him, even when she knew Lauren was trapped in the lift and had blacked out, no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t shift the smile.
“You’re really happy aren’t you?” Claire said, looking at Emily.
“Yeah I am, Kevin’s made me the happiest girl alive.” Emily smiled.
“Have you seen Lauren today?” Claire asked.
“Yeah.” Emily said, confused.
“Well believe me, right now she’s the happiest girl alive. This is the happiest ive seen her in a long time and no matter what, I don’t want anything to happen to her and Nick now. Even if it means I have to give something up ill do it.” Claire said as she looked lovingly through the kitchen hatch at Joe.
“I know.” Emily mumbled, having been thrown off her happiness after realising she and Lauren no longer were as close and all because of what she had said to her.
Emily had lost Lauren and now she was closer to Claire, who conveniently had been there for Lauren when she moved back to England, even though the two hadn’t spoke much since Lauren left for college in LA.
“Im gunna go back to the hotel. Im really tired.” Claire said as she slid off of the stall she was sat on.
“Ok.” Emily said, following Claire into the living room.
“Bye guys. Ill ring you later Joe.” Claire said, grabbing her bag.
“Where you going?” Joe said, confusion dominating his face.
“Back to the hotel, I really need some sleep.” Claire said as she pulled on her jacket.
“Let me give you a lift, im going back to mine now anyways.” Joe said, standing.
“Sure?”
“Sure. Bye guys.” Joe said, walking after Claire.
“Bye.” Emily and Kevin said together.
After the door closed behind Joe and Claire, Emily slumped down onto the sofa next to Kevin, wrapping her arms around him.
“What’s the matter?” Kevin asked worried.
“Ive just realised that me and Lauren have really drifted apart.” Emily mumbled her head now in Kevin’s chest.
“That’s because you spent 6 months apart, im sure once Lauren moves back out here everything will go back to normal.” Kevin said, lightly kissing Emily’s head.
“I guess so.” Emily said, looking up into Kevin’s big brown eyes.
Meanwhile, in the park, Nick and Lauren stood, still embraced. Nick played with a random piece of hair that had fallen out of Lauren’s messy ponytail.
“I love just standing here with you.” Nick whispered to Lauren.
“I love it too, but you are going to get seen in a minute and the paparazzi are gunna come and then well this is gunna suck big time.” Lauren mumbled.
“I know.” Nick said sadly, kissing Lauren’s forehead gently.
“Come on.” Lauren said, pulling out of Nick’s arms and lacing their fingers.
“Here.” Nick said, passing Lauren his cap and sunglasses.
“Paparazzi?” Lauren guessed.
“Yeah, there’s a car out there, I swear I saw a camera.” Nick said, smiling.
“Stop putting on a show.” Lauren laughed.
“What, im not.” Nick said, laughing with Lauren.
“You are too.” Lauren said, poking Nick gently.
“Fine then, I am. But the smiles are really fake.” Nick smiled.
“And why would that be Mr Jonas.”
“Because im with you.” Nick said, softly kissing Lauren’s cheek.
“Aren’t you a little cutie?” Lauren joked.
“I am in deed.” Nick laughed while spinning Lauren around.
Lauren laughed while she spun around Nick’s hand and then back into his side while he wrapped his arm around her. Lauren dropped the hand she was holding and laced her fingers with the arm wrapped around her shoulders.
“We are actually giving them a really good show.” Nick said.
“So what.” Lauren said, smiling up at Nick.
“That’s the attitude. Emily’s gunna need to get used to this crap, so are you and Claire.” Nick smiled.
“I understand Emily and Claire. I mean Emily’s marrying Kevin and Claire and Joe are really serious. But why me?” Lauren joked.
“Very funny.” Nick said, kissing Lauren’s hand.
“Do you think Claire and Joe will get married?” Lauren quizzed.
“I don’t know, they might. I mean they are really serious now, give them a few months and you never know, Joe might just pop the question.” Nick laughed.
“I want Claire and Joe to get married. They suit and no one is Joe getting back with her.” Lauren said, spitting slightly when she said ‘her’.
“What about us? Do you think we’ll get married?” Nick asked.
“Of course we will. Im running away with you too Las Vegas in a few weeks so we can get married by Elvis.” Lauren laughed.
“Cool.” Nick grinned.
Just as the couple walked out of the gate to the park, a man jumped out of his car, taking pictures of Nick and Lauren. A car pulled up moments later, someone also jumped out of the car and started taking pictures. Nick smiled and leant closer to Lauren.
“Keep your head down and try to put on an accent.” Nick whispered.
“Ok.” Lauren replied in her best Australian accent.
Nick laughed at her attempt and kissed her head before walking, picking up the pace a little to get away from the paparazzi.
“I don’t think we’re gunna get rid of them.” Lauren whispered, keeping up her pretend accent.
“I know. We’ll have to go into a shop and ring Kevin.” Nick whispered back.
“Ok.” Lauren smiled, before pulling Nick across the road and into the nearest shop.
The pair walked into the guitar shop, Lauren smiled when she realised what the shop was.
“Can you make sure no one comes in here please? We’re trying to shake off the paps.” Nick said to the tall man stood behind the counter.
“Sure.” The man replied.
“Thanks.” Nick smiled before walking over to the guitars, Lauren still attached to him.
