Mykells pov

After leaving school we were on the way home but I was hungry

"Ma"

"what Mj"

"Can we get some Zaxbys?"

My ma looked over at Layla who was deep in thought

"Layla are you fine with that"

"yes ma'am"

We pulled into zaxbys

"Ma I did a mobile order"

"I'll go get it, cause I need a use the bathroom"

"Alright"

"I'll be right back."

I watched as my ma got out of the car, as the door closed Layla snapped out of thought.

"I thought I was the only one who called you MJ"

All I could do was chuckle, I briefly remembered telling her no one calls me that.

"Nah I just don't like it when nobody calls me that because my family calls me it."

"Oh, I don't like when people call me Layla but yet they still do."

We looked at each other and laughed

"Now you just calling me out"

She giggled

"I am"

Then it was silent again.

LAYLA POV

We were sitting in the car waiting for Mrs. Zara to come back with the food. I kept replaying the incident in my head over and over and over. I felt like I was gonna cry but I didn't want Mykell to see me like this, he broke the silence.

"you should stay over at my house tonight"

"I know your parents and mine are fine with it but idk"

"Please ma"

I went silent after he said that it gave me butterflies and when he said it he had those puppy dog eyes, I couldn't say no.

"fine, but I'm gonna need to cry tonight"

"fine by me I'll be right beside you."

I fell into thought again, why hasn't anyone texted me about what happened?

"you'd think someone would've heard about the situation now but nobody's asked me if I'm ok"

"Are you okay ma?" Mykell asked me with low eyes

"I don't know, I could've been r@ped and beaten if it wasn't for you"

As I looked at Mykell waiting for him to say something I could his jaw tense up and his fist bald, then he finally responded.

"every time I look at you I get mad because a bruise is starting to form where he hit you I could've just told you not to go at all and this wouldn't have happened"

I scooted closer to Mykell and have him a hug

"it's not your fault remember gods will"

Mykell Pov

Layla looked so good and the way she hugged me gave me butterflies. I grabbed her neck and we locked eyes. I smiled and kissed her on her lips. I pulled away and apologized. She giggled and said...

"It's fine, your lips are soft by the way"

3rd person (nobody's POV)

Mrs.Zara comes back with the food and she drives home.
