Chapter 1

-6 years earlier-
"Brian, thanks for convincing me to come to this party, I'm actually having so much fun."
"I knew you would. You really need to learn to let loose sometimes, Lauren." Brian whispered in my ear.
"Well I'm here with you, aren't I? Do you really think my parents would approve of that?" Brian shook his head and smiled, but we both knew what I was said was the truth. Brian was everything my parents didn't like; tattoos, piercings, and not to mention he was a nearly broke musician. My parents didn't like him the minute they saw him.
"So, I'm going to get a drink, you want anything?" he yelled over the music as he stood up.
"No thanks." I yelled back.
As he disappeared in the crowd of drunken 20 year olds, I felt my cell phone vibrate in my pocket; I had one new text from Matt.
"hey, i'm @ the party, where r u?"
"on the couch. come find me." I texted back. After 2 minutes, a pair of hands covered my eyes.
"Guess who?" Matt whispered in my ear as he moved his hands. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Hey." I said as Matt took a seat beside me. "So, where's Val?"
Val, Matt and I had been best friends for years. It had been a little awkward when they first started dating, but things went back to normal fairly quickly.
"I don't know. To be honest, we're kind of in a fight right now."
"What, why?" I was only half-worried about Val and Matt's fight, because it was a pretty normal thing. Val could be a little too over-dramatic some times, and Matt could be a little too insensitive, so they argued a lot. They made up every time, so it was just a matter of time before they were completely in love again.
"She got mad because I cancelled our date last night." Matt shrugged and rested his head in his hands. "I hate how she blows things like that out of proportion."
I rolled my eyes and gave Matt a hug. "I'm sure she'll forgive you. You just need to give her some time."
"Yeah, I know, I'm just getting kind of tired of this."
I raised my eyebrow and shook my head. "That's what you said last time."
He smiled slightly and put his arm around my shoulders. "So, how's your date with Brian going?"
I blushed and elbowed Matt in the stomach. "Shut up, it's not a date."
I looked up and Brian waved as he pushed his way through the crowd. Matt looked at Brian and then looked at me, and smiled smugly. "You so sure about that?"
I looked down at my hands as Brian sat down next to me. Matt moved his arm from my shoulder and Brian put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Matt laughed softly, and I glared at him before kicking his knee. He changed his laugh to a fake cough.
I turned to Brian and smiled at him. "I'm going to go call Val."
"Ok, but come back soon." He kissed my cheek and I blushed, well aware that Matt was laughing his head off. As I walked away, I glanced back in time to see Brian punching Matt in the arm, causing him to laugh even more. At least I wasn't the only one who thought Matt was being an idiot.
I paced back and forth on the grass as I waited for Val to pick up. After 3 rings, she finally did.
"Hello?" she sounded like she had been crying.
"Hey Val, how are you?"
"Horrible." her voice cracked and she started to cry again.
"Awww Val, it's okay! I'm sure you and Matt will make up."
"Lauren, I ... I can't talk about this right now. I'm going to go, bye."
She hung up before I had the chance to say goodbye. I went inside to find Brian. Once I found him, I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
"Lauren." he smiled, but his smiled faded after he noticed the worry on my face. "what's wrong?"
"Val is kind of depressed right now, do you think you could give me a ride over to her apartment?"
"Yeah, sure. We should go tell Matt we're leaving though."
I nodded and Brian put his hand on the small of my back as we cut through the crowd to find Matt. He was talking to a guy with black hair, snake bites and a septum ring.
"Hey Matt, we're leaving. Lauren needs to go see Val."
"Uhhh, okay. But can you wait a second, I want to introduce you guys to my friend." he gestured the guy with the black hair and piercings.
"Only if it that's fine with Lauren." They both looked at me and I shrugged. Matt took that as a yes.
"Okay, Zack, this is Brian and Lauren. Brian and Lauren, this is Zacky Baker."
"Hey." Zacky said as he eyed me up and down. I moved closer to Brian to show that I was here with him. Zacky took the hint and tried to start a conversation with Brian.
"So, I hear you play guitar."
Brian nodded.
"Same here, man. You play rhythm or lead?"
Soon Brian was engulfed in a conversation with Zacky, and I was still anxious to go see Val. I lightly pulled on Brian's arm and he remembered that I wanted to leave.
"Well, I hate to cut the conversation short, but Lauren needs to leave."
"No problem. We should jam together sometime though."
Brian smiled. "Yeah, definitely."
"Sweet. I'll call Matt and we'll set something up. It was nice meeting you, Lauren."
I nodded. "Maybe I'll see you around sometime."
"Maybe." He winked as Brian led me out the door.

"Thanks again for giving me a ride." I said as Brian pulled up to Val's apartment building.
He smiled. "It was the least I could do." He said as he leaned in and kissed me.
As he pulled away I smiled.
"So, I'll call you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah, that would be great." I kissed him another time before getting out of the car.
