Lauren sat there, shaking, tears falling onto her lap. She didn't know what to do with herself. Her breath was sharp and it began to hurt her. It didn't sink in what had just happened to her. She sat there on the wall beginning to feel slightly sick and dizzy. Her breath became sharper and quicker, her chest started to hurt more with every breath. She placed her hands on her chest and let out a little scream. She screamed louder as her heart was pounding. Her legs began to go numb and her hand felt like a thousand cramps. Her eyes suddenly became heavier and heavier, her breath more sharp. Her head started to become weak and fell back and the rest of her body followed. Her small body fell off the wall and onto the grass behind her. She froze, she couldn't move any muscle in her body. Her breath finally became slower but her eyes still getting heavier. Suddenly she felt sudden peace. Her whole body was still her eyes were closed and her arms by her side. The clouds above disappeared and the sun began to shine.

1 hour earlier...

"Hey Lo, is Nick okay?" Brian asked as she walked back in the door.

"Yeah he's great" She smiled. "Wait where's Joey gone?"

"Oh he's gone back to his flat he said something about Darren being there and he left his book so he's gone to get it" Julia answered awkwardly.

"why cant Darren just bring it when he comes here?" Lauren asked

"Ummm Darren he ... he... he went to the shop straight after he called Joey. Yeah he went to get a few things so he will be here soon. " Jaime added.

"Oh ok what has he gone to get?"

"Red vines! He went to get red vines" Dylan shouted, all the other guys shouted at him

"Hang on a minute Darren hates red vines you know he does. He used to hate eating them in AVPS!"

"Red vines I mean twizlers!" Dylan laughed nervously.

"GUYS I know your not telling me the truth, so were has he really gone!?" Lauren demanded

"We told you he has gone to the shops Lo" Clark replied " Now can we just get back to rehearsing please!" All the starkids gathered around the keyboard once more but Lauren wouldn't move

"Lauren come on we are rehearsing Boy toy and we need you!"

"Well then why won't you tell me where Darren and Joey are!?"

"We have okay; they have gone to the shops now please sit down!" Meredith said to her calmly.

"Why would you guys lie to me?"

"We aren't Lo, now come one they will be here in a minute" Joe said.

"If you guys are lying..."

"We aren't Lauren trust us!" Brosenthal piped up.

She walked over to her seat and opened her book that was placed under her seat. She looked at her friends who were smiling at her. She didn't believe them, but they would never lie to her. She took a breath and began to sing.

Boy boy toy you know that your my favourite boy, your my boy my ...

"Hey clark can we sing another one please?" She asked

"Umm sure Lo what you wanna sing?"

"Not alone I think Jaime should sing now!" Jaime looked at her and smiled.

"Oh okay Jaime your up" Lauren sat there in silence she didn't really wanna sing right now! She had just kissed Nick just said yes to a date with Brian and now her best friend has suddenly disappeared? She couldn't think straight so sat there and listen to Jaime sing her heart out

"Baby your not alone, cause your here with me! And nothings ever gonna bring us down cause nothing can keep me from loving you and you know it's true

Lauren began thinking about Darren again, where was he? What was he doing? Why wasn't he here? Before she knew it her questions were answered. Joey walked through the door making everyone fall silent. Lauren jumped off her seat and ran towards Joey.

"Where have you been" She yelled

"I um went to get my book" He replied

"Then why is it under your chair and not in your hand" She yelled pointing to Joeys book under the empty seat. Joey just stared at her not knowing what to say

"Where's Darren!?" She asked. Still no answer

"Joey WHERE IS HE!" she shouted even louder

"Ok hes gone! I dropped him off at the airport. His flight leaves in 20 minutes." Joey dropped his head scred at her reaction

"He's gone... and he didn't tell me?" she turned towards the other starkids. "You knew, you all knew and none of you told me! Darren is about to leave for a year and no one bother d to tell me that hes gone! "

"Lo we did it for you, we didn't want you to be upset at seeing him leave!" Julia said

"And you think this way is better for me! That I'm not hurting right now, that I'm just gonna get over it and go back to this stupid tour! I HAVE FEELINGS YOU KNOW! You guys lied to me!" She started tearing up and so did the others.

"I'm so sorry Lo he told us not to tell you" Joey finally said.

"And you listened to him! We are talking about the guy how gets lost on the way to his own flat!"

"We are so sorry Lo!" Meredith told her now in tears.

"I don't want your apology okay and don't want any of you to apologise I don't even want to look at you right now ... I ... I ... I HATE YOU!" Lauren screamed and ran out the room. She ran outside, down the stairs and along the road. She carried on down the road focussing on getting to the airport before Darren left. She looked up to see a raindrop fall on her head. As she ran the raindrop turned into tens which turned into hundreds which turned into millions. Her arms started shaking as the rain became heavier. Lauren ran and ran as fast as she could along the road. She was running out of breath but kept going; eventually she passed a sign, LA Airport 2 miles to go. He little legs were going at full speed as tears slid of her face with how fast she was going. Lauren's hair kept whipping her face as ran faster down the road; cars and passers by were looking at her complaining at her for being in the way. She didn't care, her heart was beating too fast now and she started feeling faint, however she powered through and kept on going. Her hair was drenched with rain and her legs tired from running; she carried on increasing her pace as she went. Lauren may be small but she sure is fast. A good two miles later Lauren could finally see the top of the airport. She started to slow down as she ran out of breath. Come on Lauren. You can do this...

"FOR DARREN" she yelled as once again she picked up speed and ran into the car park and towards the entrance. Ah she finally made it into the airport she shook her head getting the wet hair off her face and tried to search for Darren. Suddenly she was bashed into by two girls who were running into the airport.

"Where ever Darren is fans follow" She whispered to her self. She carried on running again but this time following the two girls. Ashe got closer she saw more and more people crowding around her best friend. She saw his head slowly bobbing up and down in the crowd. He hadn't left yet.

"DARREN!" she yelled. He turned around to face her, she stared at her for a while before smiling at her.

"LO!" he shouted as her forced his way through the crowd. They both ran towards each other greeting one another with a tight hug in the middle. They held each other in an embrace until Darren felt Lauren shiver.

"Lauren why are you soaked?"

"They wouldn't tell me you came here so I ran all the way here and it began raining..."

"Wait you ran here? For me?"

"Of course I did you didn't tell me... why" she asked tears flowing down her cheek

"I didn't want to do this"

"What?"

"Say goodbye" Darren began to tear up as Lauren gave him a big squeeze around the waist.

"Why are you saying goodbye, your coming back right?"

"Yeah, yeah I am Lo" he said as his tears were now falling onto Laurens head.

"Promise me you will never leave me like that ever again!"

"Of course I won't Lo, I promise. "

Lauren stared at him.

"Well that's me Lo" He cried

"Darren I don't want you to go... please "

"I have to, I don't want to now"

"Then stay with me, please!"

"Please Lauren don't make this any harder for the both of us!"

"I cant wait a year Darr I just cant!"

"I promise I will come back when I'm finished, but because of time zones its gonna be very hard to keep in touch!"

"I'm gonna miss you Darr bear!"

"I'm gonna miss you to LoLo" He grabbed her one more time into a hug and whispered in her ear.

"Now promise me one thing when I'm gone you will go on that tour have a really great tour and forget about me?"

"What I cant forget about you?"

"Just live your life; I will be back for now have fun!"

"I promise"

Final calls for all 22 passengers to London, England, please make your way towards security thank you

"Well Goodbye Lo"

"Bye Darren" Darren kissed Lauren softly on the cheek and looked into her brown eyes. He picked her up and swung her round before putting her back on the floor again.

"Bye Lo" He walked away towards the security, he turned around and waved goodbye to Lauren who was stood there in tears. Darren began to cry even more as he dropped his hand and walked round the corner out of sight. Laurens heart sank. She started breathing faster and ran out of the airport. She ran out of the door and across the car park to a small wall at the edge. She sat down and began to cry heavier as the rain continued to pour down on her. Lauren sat there, shaking, tears falling onto her lap. She didn't know what to do with herself. Her breath was sharp and it began to hurt her. It didn't sink in what had just happened to her. She sat there on the wall beginning to feel slightly sick and dizzy. Her breath became sharper and quicker, her chest started to hurt more with every breath. She placed her hands on her chest and let out a little scream. She screamed louder as her heart was pounding. Her legs began to go numb and her hand felt like a thousand cramps. Her eyes suddenly became heavier and heavier, her breath more sharp. Her head started to become weak and fell back and the rest of her body followed. Her small body fell off the wall and onto the grass behind her. She froze, she couldn't move any muscle in her body. Her breath finally became slower but her eyes still getting heavier. Suddenly she felt sudden peace. Her whole body was still her eyes were closed and her arms by her side. The clouds above disappeared and the sun began to shine.
