She breaks rules and doesn't care, but someone heard her. She cares she's always there for the people that need to get the mouse despite having a horrible childhood child, there was a person that was always there for her named Cassie Miller, but she...

Layla hair and outfit
I walked out of the arcade, the dim lights and the lingering scent of competition following me into the crisp night air. The friend group, all eyes on Cassie, seemed to be harboring a mix of curiosity and concern.
"Cas," Riley began, but Cassie cut her off with a frustration-laden confession. "Me and Layla almost kissed last night in my room, and she won't talk about it. I mean, I know I'm her best friend, but I don't fucking get it."
Blake chimed in with his usual calm wisdom, "You know how she is with relationships."
Sawyer added, "Did you ever think she's scared?"
Cassie, visibly puzzled, questioned, "Scared? Scared of what?"
Riley clarified, "Her mother."
"I know that because of her mother, she has abandonment issues," Cassie responded. "But she knows I won't hurt her, right?"
Collin, always one to offer a deeper perspective, chimed in, "Yeah, but you have to prove that. Best friend or not, Layla needs to be sure that your feelings won't change our dynamic, and she won't risk losing what she values most."
After bites everyone went Cassie at home on her phone in her texting on her phone
The night lingered, and Cassie found herself anxiously waiting for Layla's response. Her phone, silent and devoid of any messages from Layla, became a constant source of both frustration and anticipation.
As the hours passed, doubts crept into Cassie's mind. "Did I push too hard?" she wondered, staring at the screen. The familiar sound of a notification finally broke the silence. It wasn't Layla; it was a message from Riley.
"Any news from Layla?"
Cassie sighed and replied, "Nothing. She's not responding."
Riley's concern echoed in her response, "Give her time, Cas. Layla needs space to process things."
Cassie reluctantly accepted the advice, "Yeah, you're right. I just hate not knowing."
The night stretched on, each passing minute intensifying the weight of the unspoken conversation. Cassie, caught in a whirlwind of emotions, found herself grappling with the uncertainty of Layla's thoughts and the unpredictable future of their friendship.
Cassie, taken aback by Layla's unexpected intensity, reached out to gently cup Layla's face. The rain intensified, mirroring the emotions cascading between them.
"Layla," Cassie spoke softly, "I would never hurt you. You mean everything to me, and I-"
Layla interrupted, her voice trembling with vulnerability, "No, let me finish. I need you to know the depth of what I feel. I love you more than anything. Losing you is not an option. You're not just my best friend; you're my anchor, my reason to keep going. I can't imagine a world without you, and, Cassie, you're the reason I haven't given in to the darkness that sometimes feels overwhelming."
Amidst the gentle rain, in the quiet solitude of the park, Cassie and I stood facing each other. The air was thick with unspoken sentiments, and I couldn't delay the truth any longer.
"Are you going to hurt me?" I asked, the vulnerability of the question lingering like the raindrops on my skin.
Cassie's eyes met mine with sincerity. "I'm not."
A desperate need for reassurance surfaced. "No, I need to be sure. Are you going to hurt me?"
Her response, a solemn promise, resonated with sincerity. "I promise you I will never hurt you in a million years."
Relief washed over me, but the weight of my unspoken truth remained. "That's good to know," I admitted, my voice betraying the emotions I couldn't contain. "But I need to tell you anyway. I love you more than anything. I can't lose you, okay? If I do, I don't think I'll survive on this earth. You're my earth. You're the reason I haven't succumbed to the darkness that claws at me."
Tears mingled with the rain as I bared my soul, the heaviness lifting with every uttered word. The rawness of my emotions hung in the air, waiting for Cassie's response, as the raindrops bore witness to the unraveling of a love that had weathered storms in silence.
In the midst of the downpour, I found the courage to lay bare the depths of my feelings. "I love you when you make me watch those dumb teen dramas," I confessed, a smile playing on my lips. "I love it when you get a bit too tipsy at parties and start mumbling 'shit, shit,' but it's enough to make me laugh until my sides hurt."
Cassie's eyes sparkled with a mix of surprise and affection, encouraging me to continue.
"I love when you complain about going to classes, and yet, I know you secretly love them anyway," I continued, each word a testament to the depth of my feelings. "I love when you sneak a bite of my food at lunch, your way of claiming your own share of whatever I'm eating."
A soft chuckle escaped Cassie, the sound mingling with the rain's gentle cadence.
"I love your eyes," I confessed, my gaze unwavering. "They hold galaxies, each glance a universe of emotions and unspoken words. I love your hair, the way it frames your face like a halo, a testament to your unique beauty that captivates me every day."
As the rain painted a symphony around us, I found myself immersed in the poetic dance of confessing my love.
"But, Cassie," I whispered, my voice carrying the weight of unspoken truths, "I love everything about you. Every nuance, every imperfection, and every extraordinary detail that makes you who you are. It's a love that goes beyond reason, a love that has quietly grown within me, demanding to be heard."
In the soft embrace of the rain, with the park as our witness, the air hummed with the unspoken energy of revelation. As I bared my heart to Cassie, the moment begged for a connection beyond words. Without hesitation, I closed the distance between us, my hand gently cupping her face.
"Cassie," I whispered, the raindrops merging with the emotions in my voice.
Her eyes, a mix of surprise and a warmth that mirrored my own, met mine. In that shared gaze, understanding blossomed. Slowly, tentatively, our lips met-a gentle, lingering kiss that spoke volumes of feelings long held in silence.
As we pulled away, the raindrops continued their dance around us, now witnesses to a connection that transcended friendship. Cassie, her eyes reflecting the depth of our shared moment, finally spoke, her words soft but resolute.
"I love you too, Layla. Always have."
The declaration hung in the air, a testament to the newfound understanding between us. The rain, once a backdrop to our unspoken confessions, now felt like a blessing-anointing a love that had weathered the storms of uncertainty.
In the quiet park, rain-soaked and wrapped in the warmth of shared emotions, Cassie and I stood on the precipice of something beautifully uncertain. Our friendship had evolved into a connection that surpassed boundaries, and in that kiss, a new chapter unfolded-a story of love, acceptance, and the beautiful unpredictability of two hearts finding solace in each other.
