Safe Another Fight and Another After Party
POV Layla"Hell no" he snarled back. I nodded and looked at Sally and Keri. We tried to walk away again and when they blocked us, again, I pushed the asshole out of my way. He was stronger than he looked and he grabbed my left wrist, hard. I winced. Before he could grab my other hand, I used it to punch him in the nose. He doubled over and let go of me. I looked at his friends with Keri and Sally beside me. "Are you going to back the fuck up now?" I asked and they backed away just as Leo and Eve got there. Leo was about to lose it so I went to him. "It's ok. I handled it. Don't worry about them" I said before he could started punching anyone. The asshole wasn't done though. He stood up and glared at us with blood pouring from his nose. "What are you, this bitch's boyfriend?" he snarled. I held Leo back as he tried to lunge for him. "No. I'm her brother. If you ever touch my sister again, I will kill you!" Leo yelled as Eve and I held him. Just then the rest of the guys showed up a
Safe The Morning After
POV FinnI'm woken by the sound of buzzing over and over. I groaned and opened my eyes. Where was I? I suddenly sat up and realized that I was in the room Layla and Eve were sharing. I looked over to see Layla sleeping next to me. I smiled for a minute until I realized that we were both only wearing our underware. I frowned, What happened last night? This was the reason that I didn't drink very often. Layla opened her eyes and smiled at me. "Morning, Finnie" she said with a smile "Hey, Lays. What happened last night? Why are we almost naked in the bed together? We didn't......did we?" I asked, panicked. It wasn't that I didn't want to sleep with Layla, I just didn't want our first time to be when we were drunk. Layla laughed, "Calm down. Even drunk you wouldn't take advantage of me, remember?" Slowly I remembered, Layla and I snuck up here to make out after drinking a few shots. I was planning on leaving after a few minutes but Layla wouldn't let me. I told her that I would stay b

We told him about most of our weekend (we left out the sleeping arrangements last night and the kissing and such)."I can't believe that you got in another fight, Layla!" He said afterwards"I know. I'll try to stay out of trouble from now on." I repliedDad chuckled and said, "Somehow, I doubt that but I would like to see you accept help from your brother and friends when stuff like this happens"I nodded.

"Layla and I got you this" Leo told him.Dad opened it to see the candle we got him."I really like it! It smells so nice. Thank you both." he exclaimed and hugged us."I better go and unpack.

Safe The First Day
POV LaylaI got up early to get ready. Last night, after Finn and Luke left, I called Eve to ask her what I should wear and she helped me come up with an outfit. It was a lightweight, tight, grey, scoop neck shirt with a light blue/grey plaid skirt. She reminded me that cheer tryouts were right after school so I packed some gym shoes. She said that the school gives us workout gear to try out in. After that, I was going to meet with Finn about the paper and then we were going to the Diner for our date. I sighed. This was going to be a busy first day! I took a shower and got dressed. I decided to leave my hair down and I curled it a bit. I put on the earrings from Dad and Leo and my necklace from Finn. I put on my makeup and remembered that I was also taking auto shop so I threw a coverall in my bag as well. I checked my phone and saw a text from Marissa and one from Clay both wishing my luck on my first day. I quickly sent texts back thanking them and wishing them the same. Then I put
Safe Tryouts
POV LaylaI walked into the chaos of the locker room. There were girls all over. I stood off to the side, completely overwhelmed for a moment. Suddenly, Keri and Eve walked in and all the girls went silent. Eve looked around and spotted me. She said something to Keri and gestured over to me. They both walked over to me."There you are! Here's your tryout clothes" Eve said handing me a shirt and shorts."Hurry up and get changed. We'll see you out there" Kere said as they walked out again. Everyone stared at me for a minutes and then went back to getting ready and talking. I quickly changed and put my hair up."You're Layla, right?" a girl with dark hair asked me."That's me" I answered."I'm Marie." She responded."Nice to meet you. Are you on the cheer squad?" I asked."I hope to be. I made it last year but we have to try out every year unless we're one of the captains." Marie explained."Oh. I didn't know that. Good luck!" I said with a smile."You too" She replied as we walked out
Safe Tuesday and Wednesday
POV Finn"Layla finally agreed to be my girlfriend last night" I said. Several things happened at once. Eve, Hart and Kari all squealed and launched themselves at Layla. Leo looked annoyed and rolled his eyes. Tom and Sally grinned. Vander looked pissed and stood up.Jake also looked upset and said, "I thought that you weren't looking for a serious relationship?"Layla shrugged and replied, "I wasn't." Vander stormed out of the room and we fell silent."I'll go talk to him" I volunteered and Layla nodded. They started talking while I left the room quickly. I caught up with Vander in the hall."Van, man, wait a minute" I said and he stopped and turned to me."What do you want?" he snarled at me."Come on, don't be like that. She was upfront and honest with you." I reasoned"I know. You're right. It still hurts though." Vander said and I nodded. I could imagine how hard this was for him."I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say" I replied"I'll get over it. It's ok. I was just surprise
Safe Thursday
POV LaylaThe next day at school was interesting. Finn was acting strange and I had no idea why. He was with me whenever possible which wasn't so odd and he was kind and attentive to me as usual but I caught him glaring at any guy that looked at me. It was strange. He did it all through first period and in the halls. I didn't like it. It reminded me of Tate and made me nervous. In my biology class, our teacher announced that we would be paired up for our next assignment."Can we choose our partners?" Sally asked."No. I've already picked them for you" He responded and everyone groaned.He went through the list and I was partnered with a guy named Peter who seemed really shy but sweet. I went to join him at his table. He smiled at me shyly and I introduced myself. After we said our hellos, we got right to work. Peter was really good at science and we almost had the assignment finished when the bell rang. Lunch was next for both of us."Do you want to take another minute to finish this?
Safe Bonding Time
POV LeoThis week has just flown by, I thought as we got to school. I couldn't believe that it was Friday already. I looked over at Layla as we walked in. I was so glad she was fitting in so well. I frowned as I saw Finn kiss her before separating to go to their lockers. Well, maybe she was fitting in too well. "Hey, La! What are you doing tonight?" I asked as we walked to our lockers "Finn and I are doing something but I'm not sure what. He just wanted to spend the afternoon together" she responded "Oh." I said, disappointed. Layla looked at me and squeezed my hand. "Sorry. I thought that you were going to the Diner with Eve, though" She reminded me. "Oh, yeah. I forgot. I just wanted to have a movie night. You know, like we used to" I suggested. Finn walked up then. "Hey, Finnie. What are we doing today?" she asked "I didn't plan anything, just wanted to hang out with you." he replied. "Ok. Can we plan on being home early then? Leo and I need some sibling time." she stated.
