Joey was knocking on Lauren's door waiting for her to answer. Lauren opened the door and Joey pushed himself into the livingroom.

" What are you doing?" Lauren enquired

" I never slept with Lucy. Whitney said that Lucy told her we never slept together."

" That still doesn't cha-" Joey kissed her before she could finish.

Lauren froze for a second but reciprocated the kiss. Joey could feel Lauren responding so he pushed her down onto the sofa...


" That shouldn't of happened" Lauren croaked

" But it did, Lauren. You felt something just then, and we both know it."

" I can't do this! I'm leaving in an hour"

" Where you going?" Joey questioned

" Devon"

" When are you coming back?"

" Never. I'm not coming back. I'm moving there"

" What! No, you can't leave. It's because of him, ain't it?"

" Who? Peter?" Joey nodded " No it's not because of him actually. It's because of you, Lucy... and me."

Joey was heart-broken. He never knew just how much he actually hurt her.

" Yesterday you couldn't tell me you didn't love me... So say it"

" Say what?"

" You love me" Joey replied

" Okay, fine. I love you" Joey went to say something but was cut off by Lauren. " No it's my turn to speak. I love you but I also HATE you. I hate you for breaking my heart. Again. I hate you for believing that deluded cow over me and I hate you for blanking me everyday since that day. But I also hate myself... I hate myself for giving you another chance because if I knew what you were going to do to me then I wouldn't have took you back"

" I'm sorry. I'll change. Just please don't give up on us" Joey pleaded

" Do you remember what you said to me that day in the vic?" Lauren questioned

" I never meant those things" Joey was on the edge of crying.

" You said and I quote 'It's over. For good'. And you were right, it is over. For good this time" Lauren's voice was muffled by the sound of her and Joey crying.

Lauren knew she was lying. In her head it would never be over, not for her anyway.

" I know you're lying, Lauren. You did that thing where you turn your head away when you're lying. I know everything about you, Lauren."

" Everything?" Lauren enquired. She was intrigued as to how much he actually knew.

" Yes. I know your favourite colour is purple even though your favourite dress is plum. I know your favourite food is lasagne. Your favourite singer is Ed Sheeran but your favourite band is You Me At Six. You have a dimple on the side of your left hand. I know you like to sing in the shower and you don't care who is listening. You scrunch up your nose when you blush. I know you hate harry potter. You are sarcastic and closed off but only I get to see your vulnerable side. And I love that side of you. But most importantly I know you love me, and I know you know that I love you too."

Lauren was still crying but it wasn't tears of sorrow, it was tears of joy.

" I love you. Forget about what I said about hating you." Lauren ran over to Joey and kissed him passionately, it was different from the kiss they had about an hour ago. This time it wasn't forced.

" Does this mean you are staying then?" Joey asked, a little out of breath.

" Yes I'm staying. But don't think you are getting off easily"

" Wouldn't dream of it, babe" Joey smirked and started to kiss Lauren again.
