Layla's story

Ch13

I remembered making breakfast with my mom. She used to love making cinnamon rolls and cinnamon toast. Those were her favorite as a kid.

"Layla you ok, is something wrong."

"No I just zoned out, sorry." She was putting the bacon in the oven. I whisked the eggs in a bowl. Me and Mrs. Smith heard a sour co.ing from the hallway. It was a loud BANG! I dropped the whisk and ran towards the hallway.

"What the hell Leon are you ok?" I Grabbed his arm and pulled him up. He.was in some boxers, which meant he had just woke up.

"Yah, I'm fine. How are you feeling. Are you feeling better then yesterday?" I giggled a little. My face felt warm.

"I feel way better then yesterday." Leon chuckled.

"I have to go put some clothes on be right back ok?" He started to walk away.

"Leon." He turned around.

"What's up Layla. Is something wrong?" I kept myself from giggling.

"No nothings wrong. Thank you for letting me stay with you." He walked toward me and hugged me.

"You don't have to thank me. Your my best friend, I'll always be there to have your back girly." He pulled away to look at me.

"I love you Layla." He turned around and left to put some clothes on. I walked back into the kitchen. Mrs. Smith was pulling the bacon out of the oven.

"Is Leon ok?" I put some toast in the toaster.

"Yah he's ok. He just tripped. Leon came out in some jeans but no shirt. Like always.  My phone started to ring. I answered it.

" Hey Pipes what's up. Is something wrong." She stayed quiet for a little bit.

"Layla you might wanna call Chris. He's not doing very well." My heart stopped a beat.

"Is he ok? What's wrong with him?" I felt a tear run down my face.

"Layla is everything alright? " Leon heard me crying. I held up a finger.

"He has not shown up.at.school for the past two weeks. Yesterday he showed up and looked really upset. He was not himself Layla."   I felt more tears run down my face. He was acting like this because of me. This was all my fault and I had to fix it.

"Ok thanks pipes. I'll call him." I hung up on piper and tried to call Chris. It went straight to voicemail. God dam it Chris. I tried again bit still went to voicemail. Maybe he's still asleep. I pit my phone in my pocket and grabbed the toast. I put more in the toaster. Leon came in the kitchen.

"Hey layla are you ok. I saw you crying earlier. Is something wrong." I did not know whether to tell him or not. If I told him there could be a possibility he would hurt Chris but if I didn't tell him be would go crazy till I did. At that moment I knew I had to tell him.

" piper told me that Chris has not been showing up at school and he did it look himself on Friday. I'm worried about him Leon. I tried to call him twice but they went both to voicemail." Leon gave me a hug.

"It will be alright. Chris is tough, he'll get through this. He just needs time." Mabry he was right. All of a sudden my phone started to ring. I was afraid to look. When I did the caller ID said Chris. He had finally called me back.
