hm... maybe you should watch out amanda??

lauren and brian sat on her bed. "i have no clue what to wear! why am i even worried about this? i'm never worried about this," lauren said frantically. "i don't know, but i think you should just calm down. benji's not going to care what you wear as long as you look good," brian said. lauren took a deep breath, "you're right. god, what's wrong with me?" brian rubbed his hands down her arms, "nothing, you're just a little jittery." "a little?" she asked. "okay, so it's a little more than a little." lauren's face broke into a smile. "thank you for helping me earlier tonight." "no problem. i just don't like seeing you sad," brian told her. she rested her head on her shoulder and then raised it,"and don't you even dare worry about mellisa leaving you. she'd have to have lost her mind to ever leave such a great guy, brian." "i am great aren't i?" he said. lauren smiled at what she would have rolled her eyes at only three years ago. "you are." he kissed her forehead, "thanks, lauren." she looked at him and sighed. she laid down on the bed. "i don't wanna go." "what?" brian asked. "i'm having fun here and i'm just going to be really nervous with benji," lauren said. "no, you're not," brian said laying down beside her. she laid her head on him, "maybe you're right. i still don't know what to wear though." "wear something pink," brian told her. "okay. yeah, i'll wear something pink. i have this shirt that would look great. you're the best, brian. i can't thank you enough." he smiled and she rubbed his chest. "now i don't want you to go." "i have to. i'm really sorry, brian. call amanda up if you wanna hang out with someone," lauren said. "nah, i'll be fine," brian said waving the thought away. "okay," she said. "be alone." "i wouldn't be alone if you weren't leaving me," he said seriously but then smiled at the end. she rolled her eyes, "i have to go. i'll see you tomorrow, brian." lauren went to sit up but brian grabbed her arm. she jerked down towards him and they were closer than they had been all night. he leaned in and kissed her cheek. lauren didn't move back for a second, but then her paralysis seemed to lift. she jerked up and said, "goodnight, brian."
