In Love With A Player

Chapter 4

I was so scared of what was happening I couldn't even look. I hated violence so much. I hated watching it.

"Layla are you okay?" The voice asked. I know that voice from anywhere. "Andrew?" I said as I looked up. I have to admit. He is pretty scary when he's angry. What am I thinking? He's scary all the time. His green eyes were piercing at me. Staring at me.

Tears were rushing down my face. I ran up to Andrew and hugged him. After a few seconds he hugged me back. It felt good to be in his arms. I hadn't fell like this in a long time. I felt so safe. "Thank you." I said in a whisper tone. "Let's get you home Layla." He said as he let go. I didn't what him to let go.

We got in the car and the ride was silent. "Why did you help me?" I asked. "Because I- why not?" He said.

We pulled up to the driveway and both of us got out. "Thank you again." I said. He nodded his head. I hugged him again.

I got back into my house with a smile on my face. I checked my phone.
7 missed calls and 24 text messages. Grace.

I'll explain later. Come over tomorrow and we can go to the beach and you can stay the night. -Layla

Layla?! I've been worried! I couldn't find you anywhere at the party! Okay I'll see you tomorrow. Do you want to meet me there?
-Grace

Sure. -Layla

I had to find out how I'd get there. I'd just ask Ashley for her car. I went to Ashley's room. "Hey Ashley can I-" I stopped. Ashley and a guy were making out. I think I have seen him be fore around school before.

"What the h*ll?!" I said as I stared at them. "Get out get out get out Louis!" She yelled at the guy. She was shooing him out of the balcony. She practically pushed him off the balcony. I left out a little laugh.

"Who the h*ll was that?" I asked as I looked at her. "Louis I met him at a party and he's really nice. We're going out." She said. She looked really embarrassed. "Now what did you need?" She asked. "Umm can I borrow the car tomorrow?" I asked. "Yah of course." She said as she got in bed. "Thanks sis!" I said.

I walked out of her room and went to go take a shower. I washed my hair and my body. I let the warm water rinse me one more time.

I dried off and put on my spandex and a shirt. I only wore my spandex in my house since its just girls now. I don't wear them outside of the house either.

I heard my phone ding. Text message probably.

Your butt looks nice in those ;)
-unknown

Who the h*ll is this? -Layla

Calm down feisty one, now open up your window and come out to your balcony. Btw its Andrew.
-Andrew

I unlocked the window out to my balcony. Wow didn't even realize I had one. I came out and saw Andrew on his balcony.

"Hey what did you need? I asked and I shivered from the wind. "Your *ss still looks good." He said with a smirk as he looked up and down. I had totally forgot I had this on. Sh*t. "Pervert!" I yelled. "I think we should get to know each other. Let's go to the park." He said. "Dude it's 11:30pm." I said. "So?" He said. "Fine I'll meet you outside." I said as I locked the window to the balcony.

I wonder why he wanted to get to know more about me. Since it was kind of chilly out I put on black leggings and a thin long sleeve blue shirt. I walked downstairs quietly so I wouldn't wake anyone. I opened up the door and walked out.

I looked around for Andrew and finally saw him sitting on the park bench. I came up quickly and said "boo!" Right in his ear. He jumped up so fast my head couldn't even spin. "Holy crap you scared the h*ll out of me!" He said putting his hand on his heart. I busted out laughing holding my stomach. "I'm going to get you!" He said. "No you're not!" I said.

I started running for the playground stuff. I ran up the stairs and went down the slide and ran right into something hard. It was Andrew. I was right against his chest with no space left. We were looking each other in the eyes. I got lost in his eyes. They were so beautiful. His hands were on my waist.

He pulled away after a few minutes.
"Um um I-" he tried to say something but I cut him off trying to not make it awkward. "So let's play 21 questions. I'll go first." I said as we walked back to the bench

"What's your favorite color?" I asked.

"Green. What's yours?" He asked.

"Green. I smiled. What's your favorite thing to do?" I asked.

"I like to race, on my motorcycle. The people that race go down to the racetrack and we race around the track. What's the one thing you want to do before you die?" He asked.

I looked down at my shoes. "Fall in love again." I said sadly.

"Again?" He asked.

"Yah. Well back in the other state I dated this guy for 2 years. We were at a party and I saw him making out with the schools slut. He's the first one I've ever loved and the first one to break my heart. It's his fault I have trust issues with guys." I said as tears came to my eyes.

"Layla I'm so sorry. I didn't know." He said.

"It's fine. Let's just keep playing the game. Your turn." I said as I played my shoe laces.

"Where's your parents?" He asked.

Oh no. The tears. I looked at him and tears started to pour down my face. "My sister and I were waiting on the drive way for them to come back from a vacation and we saw them turn into our street finally. Their car was really small it was like a buggy. Well a car came in and crashed into them. My sister and I rushed over to them and the car was completely shattered and therefore I watched my parents die." I said as tears poured down my face.

"sh*t Layla I didn't mean to. I swear I didn't know." He said. He got up. "Come here." He said as he had his arms up for a hug.

I got up and hugged him tightly as more tears ran down my face. "It's not your fault." I said as I hugged him tighter.

It felt so good to be in his arms. I never wanted to get out of them. We stood there for 10 minutes and I finally released. We were still against each other. Andrew wiped a year off my face. I smiled. "We should probably get going. It's 1:30am." He said as he checked his watch.

"It's already 1:30?! Oh my gosh I better go! Thanks Andrew, I had fun." I said as I ran back home.

I opened up the door and quietly ran upstairs. "Who is he?" A voice said. I turned around to see Ashley. "He's Andrew, the one next door. He wanted to get to know more about me so we went across the street to the park." I said as my face got red.

"Okay well night." She said as she walked to her room. Oh my gosh thank god it was Ashley. If it would've been Aunt Karen, I wouldn't know what she would've done.

I went to my room and changed on my pajamas from before and went to bed.
