Layla- its good to be back ( grabs her bag off of the conveyor belt two months of being in the cold of Colorado she missed home and she missed her Moms. But she'll miss Brent too. speaking of which)
Brent- you okay princess.
Layla-( looks up at him seeing his playful smirk and the lump in her throat tightens) um..( licks her bottom lip and looks away)
Brent-( watching her intensely before his looks around noticing the others have already walked off before he looks back at her) are you going to cry?
Layla-no ( swallows avoiding his eyes)
Brent-( drops his bag) you do realize i'll be over all the time. as usual.
Layla- ( snorts) the horror.
Brent- ( his lip twitches fighting a smile) Layla.
Layla- I hate you.. I really ( swallows as tears fall down her face) I really really Hate You.
Brent-I know.
Layla- and im not crying.. I just bit my tongue.
Brent-( smiles slightly)
Layla- stop smiling..
Brent-( sighs shoving his hands in his pockets looking down at her) tell me whats wrong.
Layla- ( stays silent for awhile collecting herself before she turns to him) what we did.. did it mean anything.
Brent- ( smooths his tongue over his teeth staring at her with hard eyes)
Layla- because if it didn't ( her voice cracks) if it didn't-
Brent- it meant something ( cuts her off) Layla what changed you were fine before we landed.
Layla- ( sighs looking down at her shoes and mumbles her answer before glancing up at him)
Brent- what? ( steps closer to her )
Layla- ( swallows and opens her mouth to repeat what she said)
Lana- there you two are. everyone's waiting ( looks between the two of them) did i interrupt something?
Brent- ( looking at Layla)
Layla- ( her eyes flutter but she presses her lips together) no. we were just uh.. I was wishing him good look on his last semester ( inhales sharply and turns from him to wrap her arm around her step mother and begins walking dragging her luggage behind her) how are you ( kisses her cheek and smiles even though it doesn't reach her eyes)
Brent- ( watches after them left confused as to why Layla.. his nonemotion.. no she was emotional but she wasn't the type to cry easily or show anything other then anger in front of him when in the open why was she crying... what did she say? and why didn't she tell him. bending he grabs his bag and throws it over his shoulder and walks towards the main exit)

Layla- should we really be doing a big dinner mom ( bites her lip and looks up at her warily she's asked her this for two months) it's really not a big deal.
Lana- you say that but it is a big deal Puddin.. your out on your own now and you've been accepted into the college with Kai.
Layla- ( raises an eyebrow at her) how many did you invite over?
Lana- a couple of your friends ( looks at her innocently)
Layla- mom ( sighs as the bell rings she shoots her a glare before straightening up and walking to the front door and opens it and pales slightly seeing Brent with his arm around a girl and she looks between them not really knowing what to do and her tongue seems heavy but her eyes stay on Brent's arm and her eyes begin to sting)
