*well, finally, here it is...sorry if its short and stupid, didnt know how to write this chapter...READ AND COMMENT PLEASE!!! thanks!!! ENJOYYY!!!*
(Keith’s POV)
“Hey guys!” I gasped as I ran into the back entrance if the Wang Theatre after sprinting the whole way from the Starbucks to where we were all performing tonight. “What the heck took you so long man? And who was that girl?” Emmet started and Ryan finished. I hunched over while trying to catch my breath. When I was somewhat able to breath, I told them, “That was…” But, I couldn’t finish. I wasn’t sure that it was the right time to tell them that the girl from the streets of Boston was my ex and the girl from the song that I wrote when this group first started. “Who was it?” Emmet exclaimed, obviously shocked by my lack of response. “That was just some girl that I just met. I felt bad that I knocked her over and she said that I could make it up to her by buying her a coffee, so I did.” I finished with a shrug. I know that they could tell that I was lying, but they too shrugged it off and changed the topic. “Anyway, Sharon wants you to get ready for the first set because you get to do M and G’s with Danny tonight.” Ryan informed me. “Shoot,” I muttered under my breath. “Alright,” I said louder, “but you guys tell Sharon that she owes me one…big time. Especially since this is my fourth meet and greet in a row.” I cursed again and then walked off to get ready, continuing with the silent prayers that I had started earlier that Lauren will come tonight.
(Lauren’s POV)
“Hello class! How are you guys all doing today?” I asked as I walked into the dance studio that I am currently working at. My class of twenty-two nine year olds all chorused, “Good!” I smiled and said, “Great! Now, how about for starters we all work on our dance routine for the show next month, and then we’ll work on some new stuff. Okay?” The group of girls all said “yes” and took their places on the floor. Two hours and a half hours later, the last girl was being picked up and I was just getting my bag of stuff ready to go home and lock up for the night. As I drove home from the third job that I work, a little nagging voice in my head kept reminding me about Keith’s show tonight. “Who cares about him?” I muttered to myself. “He’s just gonna come back and break my heart all over again and besides, after tonight we’ll never see each other again anyway.” Wanting to just drone out all my thoughts, I turned on the radio and cranked it as loud as I could. The voices of Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, and Luke Bryan filled my head the rest of the ride back to my house. That night in bed, after watching re-runs of NCIS for five hours, I thought to myself, “Keith who?” And then I deleted him from my contacts.
(Keith’s POV) She didn’t come. She didn’t even call. A part of me is relieved, but the other part of me is heartbroken. I really wanted to see her again...especially since I was going to force myself to have the guts to apologize to her for the first time since our big break-up. “Hey Keith, do you want to go to The Harp with us tonight?” Neil asked as him and myself put our guitars back in their proper cases. Wanting to just be alone and wallow in my own self pity, I rejected the proposal. Neil just shrugged and walked away to tell the guys my answer. That night, as I sat alone in my bunk in the tour bus, I took out my guitar and started playing a song that I wrote in hope to fix everything. Only, I never got around to playing it for Lauren, for she left the day after I wrote it. Without any word at all, taking my heart with her.
*sorry if there were any swears, i tried to edit them all out, but if i missed any, im sorry...NOW COMMENT!!! thank you!!!! hey, just think, all ur comments can be my be-lated birthday present...hahaha...jk...COMMENT!!! thanks!!!*

(Keith's POV)
The next morning I woke up and the events from yesterday all came flooding back to me; bumping into Luaren, talking to her, the disapointment of her not coming to the show. Feeling dpressed for myself, I rolled out from my bunk and walked towards the lads, who were all sitting on either a counter, couch, or floor laughing about something.
"Hey, look who decided to come back to the land of the living!" Neil exclaims when he caught view of me. All the guys just laugh even harder as I pick up a nearby pillow and throw it at him.
"Shut up you bastard. I had a rough night." I muttered as I made my way over to the sink to pour myself a glass of water.
"YOU had a rough night!?! How? You didn't even go out with the rest of us." Emmet stated as all the guys now stared at me in disbelief.
"It's none of your business to why I had arough night, so just leave me alone about it." I mumble as I downed the water and then started to walk back to my bunk.
"Aw, c'mon Keith, we didn't mean to be mean!" Ryan called after me. I just shook my head, collapsed back into the bunk that was to be mine for the remainder of the tour, and pulled out my phone.
No Messages it read. Sighing to myself, I went under my contacts and pulled up Lauren's number. After a minute or two of debating whether or not to press the call button, I finally came to a discission.
"Hello?" a voice filled with curiosity asked after three rings. I hissed in a breath and replied,
"Hiya Lauren." I could feel the tension between us, even through the phone.
"What do you want?" she asked cooly.
"Woah, no need to sound upset. I was just wondering on why you didn't come last night, that's all." I said defensively.
"You honestly thought that I would come?" When I mumbled yes, I heard her laugh and say,
"Why Keith? Did you think that you would get a second chance to fix what YOU screwed up? Did you think that by me coming that it meant that I still loved you and we could go back to they way we were before you decided that I was not good enough for you? Tell me! Tell me why you wanted me there, and this had better be a dang good answer because you are taking away from my lunch break." I took in a breath and said as calmly as I could,
"I wanted you there so I could apologize to you, properly this time. I wasn't expecting you to give me a second chance, I wasn't expecting any of the things that you mentioned to happen. I just wanted to properly say I'm sorry. That's it." Dead silence was all that could be heard from her end of the line and mine.
"Keith..." she tried to finish her sentence, but she never did. For she hung up.
(Lauren's POV)
I hung up the phone as quickly as I was to accuse him of all those things. I buried my head into my arms and let the tears that I had been holding back since I talked to him yesterday flow.
"Laur, baby? Are you alright?" one of the waitresses from downstairs asked as she timidly walked through the door that led to the private room that I was having my lunch break in. I looked up and saw the elderly waitress, Ellen, a woman who filled in the mother role for me after my own mom died two years ago.
"No." I cried as I walked right into her open arms. She held onto me tight as I cried into her shoulder.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. I pulled away from her and shrugged.
"Maybe after I get done with my shift. Herb's gonna kill me." I say, referring to our overly cranky and strict boss. Ellen just nods and follows me back into the busy restaraunt.
I was nearing towards the end of my shift when my best friend, Natalie, came up to me and asked desperately,
"Laur, can you please cover that table in the back? I'm desperate and Herb has me working double today. PLEASE?" She almost spilled the tray of drinks she was holding on me with that last part. I laughed, helped her regain her balance, and said,
"Sure, I'd love to. Now go deliver those drinks before you really do spill them." She laughed and walked away while calling back to me,
"Thanks!" I just laughed and smiled to myself. Though that smile was quickly wiped clean off my face when Isaw who was sitting at the back table.
For there was Keith sitting there with that smirk he always seemed to wear and his friends that he was with yesterday.
God help me.
*Yes, yes, i used a bad word and im sorry. I went to change it but i couldnt come up with a better word for Keith to use since he was angry and yea, sorry...but PLEASE REVIEW!!! thanks!!! and i hope u all had a good Christmas!!!*

Meg! great update! I despite what others may think I'm sure in real life the lads have said a few bad curse words! And somehow I knew it was going to be Keith and the lads at that back table! And yes Lauren was being a bit unfair to Keith over the phone!

*here it is!!!! hope you guys like this!!! ENJOY!!!* (Lauren's POV) I sucked up all my pride and fear, took a deep breath, and walked over to the back table. "Hello boys, my name is Lauren and I am your waitress today. Now, what can I start you off to drink today?" I say as cheerfully as I can while taking out my pad and pen, ignoring Keith's shocked look the whole entire time. After taking their orders, I walked off before Keith, who looked like he wanted to open his mouth and say something to me from the moment he saw me. "Here you guys go." I say as I come back with the drinks. All the guys at the table said "thanks" as I placed each drink in front of the guy who ordered that specific drink. "Now, do you guys know what you want or do you want me to come back in a little bit?" I asked as I once again pulled out my pad and pen. "I think that we are set to order now. Um, I'll have..." And then they all went down the line, engrossing me with their accents, making me wish that I tried a little bit harder to hod onto mine. Finally, it was Keith's turn to say what he wanted. He didn't reply right away, and that aggravated me because the sooner I got done with this table, the sooner I could go home and have a good hour nap before I had to start up my shift at one of my other jobs. "Are you gonna order or not sir because I don't have all day." I say as I put my hand on my waist. Keith looks me right in the eyes, cracks a small smile and says, "Ya, how about a second chance by going out with me later tonight." I gasp, not expecting that. Of course he just had to ask me that in front of his friends. Once I compose myself together, I smile sweetly at him and say, "Not gonna happen. Now, would you please order your food or you're gonna get nothing." Keith glowered at me before shrugging and giving me his order. "Okay then, I'll go and place your orders again. And Keith, I swear if you try anything like that again I'm gonna have you kicked out and then call the police and press charges for assault." And then, I haughtily walked away, completely beyond pissed at the stunt he just pulled. But then, as I sat down to wait for their food to finish cooking, I couldn't stop thinking about how I wouldn;t have minded going out with him and that got me to thinking, "What if I still haven't gotten over him and what if deep down I still love him?" (Keith's POV) "Keith, what the heck was that?" Ryan asked as I watched Lauren walk away from me...again. I just shrug and take a sip of my guiness. "Ya man, what made you ask her out? And how the heck does she even know who you are?" Emmet asked. I say nothing, too embaressed to say anything. Truth was, I don't know what possessed me to ask her out. It was just a spur of the moment thing that I now completely regret. "Oh my God, that was the girl you ran into yesterday wasn't it!?!" Emmet exclaimed. Still too shock at my actions to speak, I just simply nodded. "You knew her from before yesterday, didn't you?" Neil now asked me. Once again, I just nodded. "How?" George asked. "Jeez, what is this? Twenty Questions? And she used to be my girlfriend." I told them simply. They all stared at me in shock and some of the guys who've known me for awhile lit up like a lightbulb and gasped, "She's the girl from your song isn't she?" "Ya, she is." I mutter as I watched Lauren talk rapidly with one of the other waitresses here, her huge, beautiful smile plastered on her face as the conversation went on. "What happened between the two of you, she looks like a keeper." Neil says as he follows my gaze and watches Lauren with me. The other guys did the same, but their attention was turned back to me when I sadly said, "I took her heart, broke it, and then stomped on the pieces." "What? How?" All the guys asked at once. I opened my mouth to tell the story, but was cut off by a now bubbly voice saying, "Orders up everybody!" Lauren was back, and she looked a lot happier than she had when she had left. After she passed out our food, she turned to me and said hesitantly, "So Keith, does that date you offered earlier still stand?" *what did you guys think??? COMMENT PLEASE!!! thanks!!! and once again, sorry for the minor language, i edited all the REALLY bad stuff and i tried my best with everything else, but if there was something that i missed, im sooo sorry...COMMENT PLEASE!!! thanks *

Lauren's POV:
"So, tell me about yourself." Keith said after we sat down at the restaurant he picked out, P.F.Changs.
"You already know everything there is to know about me, remember? We DID date for seven years." I said with a small laugh, glad that the awkwardness that had surrounded us from the moment he picked me up at my flat dowtown was finally leaving the air. Keith turned bright red and muttered,
"Well, tell me about what you've been up to since you...left..." That last part came out awkwardly because I have no doubt in my mind that Keith was remembering the reasons that I left.
"Well, I got four jobs that's it. I'm still the same person that I was before...before that night..."
"Four jobs?!?" How the heck do you manage that?" Keith asked, ignoring that last part.
"Easy, I just do..." I told him. He cracked a small smile and asked,
"What do you do?"
"Well, obviously I'm a waitress. I also am a dance teacher, a babysitter, and I also work at another restaurant as a waitress as well." I said to him. His eyes widen as he says,
"When do you find time to sleep? Or more importantly, EAT?" I laugh and tell him,
"Keef, two of my jobs are at restaurants, I can just eat there." The smile is quickly swiped off of Kieth's face, causing me to worry.
"Keith, are you alright? What's wrong?" I inquired.
"The-the last time you called me Keef was the night I...the night I uh..." He didn't finish, but he didn't need to. Because I knew what he was gonna say and exactly what he was talking about.
"How about we just get past that? And start over?" I muttered softly, taking his hand into mine.
"I'd like that very much. I really would." He said, his brogue perfect as he looked into my eyes.
"Friends?"
"The very best." He finished. My smile was a mile long on my face as I thought in my head,
"I knew there was a reason I agreed to this, and this was it. I just got my best friend back."
Keith's POV:
My little 'date' tonight was perfect. Lauren forgave me for everything and we were friends again.
"Someone's happy." Ryan said as I walked back onto the bus when I finished dropping Lauren off at her place.
"Ya, I had a great time tonight. Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed." Was all I said, wanting to get some shut eye before I would have to wake up early tomorrow to see Lauren before we left for who knows what state.
"How DARE you!?! How dare you hook up with that...with that BIMBO after we...well you know." an enraged voice yelled at me.
"Lauren, I'm sorry, I-I didn't know what I was doing, I was drunk." I muttered feebly, knowing that I was caught in a hole that I probably would not be able to get out of.
"I don't care what you were Keith, you SLEPT with my SISTER!" Lauren yelled. I gulped down a wad of spit as I muttered,
"I'm so sorry Lauren, if I could take it back I would."
"Save it Keith, I don't think I can be with you after you take away my innocence with my sister, I am sorry." And then, the love of my life just walked away from me, leaving me feeling worse than I ever had in my whole life.
"LAUREN!" I yelled, jolting up in my bed. "Oh, it was just a dream." I muttered, laying back down on my pillow. My good mood was completely gone as I thought back to that night when Lauren and I broke up.
*I tried my best to edit all swears so sorry if i missed one or two...and i tried so hard to not cross the G-rated line at the end...i had it this whole other idea in my head but, i mightve gotten reported for posting it so that was what i was able to come up with. sorry for the long wait, please COMMENT!!! thanks sooo much!!!*

It's ok Meg. Just as long as you are careful from now on! Glad Lauren forgave him and they are friends! And I was wondering what Keith did to make him and Lauren split up in the first place! GREAT UPDATE! NOW KEITH HEAR THIS: DON'T MESS UP THIS TIME!
