Layla's Story

ch6 the secret

I pushed him away and ran. I needed to find my friends.  I finally got to the lunch room and I looked behind me. He was not anywhere to be seen.  I turned around and went to find Claire and Leon.  When I found them I sat with them.  I sat between piper and sky. Claire looked at me with concern.
"Woah, what's wrong girly"? Leon grabbed my hand and tried to calm me down.  I did not know if I should tell them. I kept it to my self.
"Oh nothing I just--". I looked towards the door. Chris had come in the lunch room and he looked sad. I thought about talking to him but I needed space. He looked like he was looking for me and then gave up and sat down with his friends. My friends brought me back to life.
"Hey layla.  You good". Leon looked at the door but saw no one there.
"What are you looking at, Are you waiting for someone girly". I looked at Leon.
"Oh no, I'm not waiting for some one and I'm fine". Leon let go if my hand and looked at Claire.
"I'm going to go get something to eat".  I got up and left. I did not know what I wanted so I just got a salad at the salad bar and picked out what I wanted in my salad.
"I- I'm sorry". I knew who's voice it was but I did not wanna look up so I left to get a drink. I could here he was following me.  I got a Dr. Pepper. And turned around but I bumped into him and dropped all my food on me.  I had ruined my shirt again.  He offered his hand to me again. I still rejected him. Leon ran from the table and pushed Chris away from me.  Claire helped me up and tried to take me back to the table. I ran towards Leon and Chris.  I pushed Chris away from Leon and got in between them.  Chris ran towards me but thought Leon was still there.  He punched me and I fell to the ground.  Leon bent down to check on me but I got up.
"What the fuck is wrong with you". He looked at me.
"I'm sorry I thought--". Leon stopped him.
"No,  you punched her you dumb ass. Your gonna stay away from--". I stopped him.
"Leon no.  I'm fine ok. Let's just go to the table". I led Leon to the table and sat him down.
"I'm gonna go home and change my outfit".  Leon stood up.
"I think I should go with you. That bi--". I stopped him.
"Leon I'm OK. I'll be fine on my way home". I grabbed my bag and looked at Chris. I walked out to my truck. Before I got in someone grabbed my hand. I looked at him and it was Chris. I needed to talk with him.
"Get in, we need to talk".
