Nick, Matt and Madi are downstairs in the kitchen eating cereal, leaving Chris, Layla, Eliza and Jaden upstairs.

Layla makes her way down the stairs holding a hand over her mouth while she yawns. Whatever happened last night should not have happened. Ignore it. Yeah. Pretend it didn't happen and it will be solved. The girl tells herself as she reaches her friends in the kitchen.

"Hi Layla." Matt says a little to quickly with a smile, mentally kicking himself for he energy. Wtf Matt. Play it cool.

"Hey Matty. Are you ok?" The girl says with a smile and a slight giggle at his new speed for eating cereal to fill his mouth. He just nods vigorously in response. Nick looks at his brother with a tf are you doing sort of look.

"Must be some good cereal. Can I try some?" The girl asks her friend, grabbing his spoon out of his hand before he can interject. "Mmm it's nice" she says as she pulls the spoon from her mouth giving it back to the boy.

Layla takes a seat next to Nick who is still looking at his brother like a weirdo. "Is he ok?" She says quietly to Nick actually confused.

"I don't know. He's just weird" Nick says shaking off his look towards his brother turning to face Layla. "Are you ok? After yesterday?" Nick states. Right. He was there. He saw that stupid bitch April. But he didn't see anything after that. Just pretend.

"Yeah I'm ok. It's fine. I think I overreacted. I don't really care if he kisses someone else. But that bitch April. She needs to pay for her sims fucking whore." Layla says thinking about everything that butch has done to her.

"Do you know the girl? What the fuck? You didn't tell me? Who the fuck is she?" Nick questions the girl about the person he thought was just some randomer.

"Her name is April Ford. I haven't really told anyone what she did. But she was a messed up bitch. Don't tell anyone this but, we went to a party freshman year and people sent me upstairs to 'see something' and when I went up, she was in bed with my boyfriend. They slept together. She was my best friend. After that I thought my boyfriend was gonna apologise but he just said how much better she was than me. Then... I- I- I broke her nose and beat that bitch up and I was expelled. Then she wanted Jaden. Then she wanted Matt. And now. She's had Chris. That bitch always wants anything that's mine. I'm sick of it." Layla explains, her facial expressions ranging between pure anger and sadness.

Nick places his arm around the girl seeing the hints of sadness in both her face and her voice. "Awh my love. It's ok. Chris isn't that boyfriend you had three years ago. And neither is Matt or Jaden. She can try but I'm not letting that little bitch near any of them." Nick states with a smile before pausing. "You really didn't tell anyone all that?" He asks the girl.

"No. I didn't want Jaden to beat up the guy. And I couldnt speak about it without wanting to break her nose again. Stupid fucking bitch." Layla says laughing towards the end.

Chris walks into the kitchen about three minutes after Layla told Nick about April. "Hey guys." He states before turning to Layla "Hey Layla." He says with a small smile, remembering last night's occurrences.

"Chris" she says in a much different tone. Not one of joy to see him like his or Matt's, but more like just acknowledging the fact that he's there.

"You should be ashamed of yourself Christopher." Nick states before kissing Layla's forehead, walking out of the kitchen in a dramatic way. The small blonde just laughs at her friend as he escapes.

"What's he talking about?" Chris asks the girl taking a seat beside her as she eats the bowl of cereal Nick left basically full.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." Layla replies bluntly taking another spoonful of cereal.
