Secret Keeper

Season 3 Episode 12

Disclaimer: I only own Layla all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

A/N:  Reminder that I wrote this story 10 Years ago. I was a different writer then so if something is off or too Mary Jane I apologize. But I do hope you still enjoy.

They say that there are no accidents. Sometimes, reality comes crashing into us. Other times, it dawns on us slowly, Despite our best efforts to ignore it. And what better excuse to choose a path Than to insist it's our destiny? But at the end of the day, We all have to live with our choices No matter who's looking over our shoulder.

Layla walked down the street with Riley, holding his hand.

"Are you okay Lay, you use to come up to meet me and now you stay downstairs?" Riley asked.

"Its nothing."

"Did Jason say something to you or something?"

"Its nothing, really"

"Layla"

"Drop it Riley"

"Okay" He said and they continued down the street.

Spotted-an "it" girl with an "it" bag. Looks like the roadie to success Is paved with cruel intentions.

They walked into the coffee shop and spotted Nate and Dan talking.

"He's a douche." Dan said.

"Who's the douche?" Riley said taking a seat.

"I have a feeling I know what this is about" Layla said sitting down.

"Listen, you have two options here- You can man up, go to war and fight for the girl you love, Or just forget her and move on to a palate cleanser." Nate said.
"So you're saying my only choices are extreme emotional vulnerability with a good friend, Or meaningless sex with a stranger?"

"Yeah, pretty much" Nate said.

"Nice advice Brother" Layla said.
"Why do you always enter our sex conversations?" he asked her.

"Why do you two discuss sex when I'm around?"

"What" Riley asked.

"Hi" Vanessa said coming over.

"We were just talking about you." Nate said.

"And Sex?" Layla said getting a look from everyone.

"Oh no way before that" Dan said awkwardly.

"Oh" Vanessa replied.

"Uh, we're going up to my country house this weekend, and I wondered if you wanted to come?" A girl asked Dan "And there's a hot tub. It's kind of a writers retreat."

"And Paul's coming." Vanessa said.

Layla looked across the table at Dan.

"Oh you know, that sounds- that sounds so tempting. But I think, um, I got a lot of homework so I think I'm gonna stick around here."

"Oh, Okay I'll call you when we get back." Vanessa said.

"Okay See ya."

Vanessa and the girl walked off and they all looked at Dan.

"Dude, what was that? You should totally go." Riley said.

"You can box Paul out of the hot tub - Or get with Willa." Nate said.

"Willa?" Dan said.

"Oh, yeah, she's so cute. Look at her. And she's a drama major. Actresses are crazy."
