Tony makes a revelation to Lauren

As Tony and Lauren made their way to the bathroom, now isolated away from Vanessa and Bobby, Tony glanced at Lauren. He wasn’t sure if he should say something, but knew that if he was going to get answers, now would be the only time for him to do it. He brought Lauren into the bathroom, walked her to the stall, and had her walk in. He removed the diaper for her, and stepped out, closing the stall door behind her, waiting for her to do her business.

Lauren blushed as she began to tinkle into the toilet, but glad Tony hadn’t made a big deal about any of this like she had feared. When she was done, she wiped herself and flushed the toilet, and then Tony said something that really surprised her, “Lauren, what are you doing?”

“W-what?” Lauren said.

“Is Vanessa hurting you? Blackmailing you? What’s going on?” Tony asked.

“You... you know it’s me?” Lauren whimpered.

“Do you really think I wouldn’t recognize my girlfriend?” Tony asked in dismay as he opened the stall to look Lauren in the eyes. “Lauren, what’s going on, please talk to me.”

Lauren wanted to cry in humiliation at being recognized, but also wanted to confide in Tony so bad. “I-I’ve been lying,” Lauren said, reluctantly. “T-to you and t-to everyone else.”

“About your body, right?” Tony said.

Lauren nodded. “I-I’m not the pretty girl I made you think I am,” she said. “I don’t have b-boobs. I’m f-fat, and I-”

“Stop it right there,” Tony said as he pulled Lauren in close to him. “Lauren, how can you say those things? Do you really think I think you’re not pretty? I mean, God, Lauren. I’ve known your secret for years, but the only thing is I tried figuring out why you were keeping it.”

“Y-you’ve known?” Lauren said, in surprise. “f-for years? But that means you knew... before you asked me out?”

“Yes,” Tony said. “I knew, but it didn’t matter to me.”

“T-then why didn’t you say anything?” Lauren asked.

“Because I knew if you were keeping that secret, you probably had insecurities and didn’t want to know that I knew,” Tony said. “So why are you doing this? Why are you in a diaper at the beach with your sister? Why are you pretending to be someone you’re not?”

“I-I was scared,” Lauren said. “V-Vanessa found out about my secret. And then you were coming, and I didn’t want you t find out. I was stranded naked and scared that you would find me and n-not love me anymore because you would see the freak girl who can’t seem to grow up physically instead of the sexy hot Lauren you’ve come to know.”

Tony frowned and took Lauren’s hand. “I’m sorry you felt that way, Lauren. But I want you to know, I still love you. I still want to be with you,” Tony said.

“Y-you do?” Lauren said in genuine surprise.

“Of course I do,” Tony said. “Now you’re afraid that Bobby will find out right? And that Vanessa will make your life miserable, is that it?”

Lauren nodded. “And I was afraid how you would react to the truth about me,” she added.

Tony looked at Lauren and kissed her. “You’re beautiful, Lauren. Without the boobs, without the perfect image, you’re still beautiful. I wish you could see that,” he said. “But for now, I suppose I’ll try to help you. Maybe we can leave them, they probably want to hangout together anyways, I can drive you in my car, and we can leave this place. Unless you want to stay. I just need to know what you want to do.”

Lauren thought about it, though the answer should be obvious, she wasn’t sure it was.
