A/n yep...another update! Enjoy!!
Recap...I swung open the door, prepared for the worst.
I looked around the dark room, searching for any signs of Layne. No one. A mixture of panic and relief washed over me as I walked out of his room. I jogged downstairs, beginning to get scared.
"Layne?" I called. "Layne!? Where are you?!" I was really getting scared. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY, LAYNE!!" Tears ran down my cheeks as I searched the house, desperate to find him. After about an hour of searching, I gave up. He was no where to be found. I sat on the couch, tears still rolling down my face, thinking about what could've happened.
'Is he trying to send me a message? Is he trying to tell me to leave? Was he lying about caring? I'm such an IDIOT! Of course he doesn't care. I'm just a random girl he met at a hotel. He probably let me stay here out of pity.' My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door unlocking.
I snapped my head toward the door as it swung open. There were tears flowing out of my eyes as Layne walked in.
"L-L-Layne!?" My voice was shaky. Once he saw me, his eyes widened. He ran over to me, worry etched on his face.
"Jasmine!? Oh my gosh! What's wrong?" More tears came as he questioned me.
"I-its no-nothing..." I looked down at my hands. Layne sat next to me and wiped away a tear that was running down my cheek.
"Jasmine...you can tell me. You can trust me." I looked up at him and then back to my hands.
"When I couldn't find you this morning, I thought you were trying to tell me to leave. I thought you didn't care about me." Another tear ran down my face as I looked back up at him. Only this time he had tears in his eyes.
"Oh Jasmine...I'd never tell you to leave. I care way too much about you to let you go." He pulled me into a hug and I felt a tear hit my back. I hugged him tightly, not wanting this moment to end. It was amazing for someone to say they actually care. I prayed he wouldn't let go. But he did.
"If you're gonna be living here," he said looking into my eyes, "you're gonna need clothes. Can't wear mine all the time." He smiled and I nodded at him.
"Well...I guess we could...go to my old house and get my stuff." I looked into his beautiful eyes and he nodded. He stood up and held his hand out to me. I took it and my face heated up. I looked down at our intertwined hands then up at Layne's face. His cheeks had light blush on them.
I giggled at him and he pulled me out of the house. We both climbed into the Chevrolet and buckled up. He started the truck and I told him where to go. He pulled out of the drive way and we slowly got closer to the place where my nightmares began.
Layne pulled into our yard and stopped the car. He looked over at me and smiled. I unbuckled myself and smiled back. I looked out the window, noticing my mom's car missing.
"You want me to come in with you?" Layne asked. I shook my head no. I opened the door and stepped out of the vehicle. I turned back and smiled at Layne. I smiled at him and he blushed.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." He nodded and I closed the car door. I walked to the front door and got the spare key out from under the welcome mat. I unlocked the door and replaced the key. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. Once it was open, I stepped inside, only to be shocked at what was there.
A/n OK that was it...I'll try to update soon... Tell me what you think so far...remember if you like the story vote and comment. Until next time, I love you!! Bye! Xoxo
