Fireproof

Chapter 15

I was in Layla's bathroom changing into some pajamas she gave me. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw I looked like crap. I had dark circles under my eyes and looked like I hadn't slept in days. "Ugh" I said said as I splashed some water on my face. "Harley hurry up! Magenta's here" Layla called from outside the door. I opened the door and walked out. "Thanks for the clothes Layla. I didn't know you owned anything that wasn't green."
"Haha. Come sit down, so we can talk."
I made my over and sat on the edge of her bed with Magenta next to me. "Okay what's going on with you two? You're letting stupid guys distract you in what's really important. Who cares if they don't like you or don't notice you like them! You two need to get your shit together before homecoming so you can rub your happiness in their stupid faces" Magenta said with a smile. "This is why I love you" I said as I gave Magenta a hug and motioned for Layla to join in. "See you don't need them. You can be happy on your own."
"Except you right? You never said who you were going with" I said as I wiggled my eyebrows. Magenta's face instantly turned a shade of red as she stuttered "N-none of y-your b-business."
Layla and I started laughing and Magenta pushed us off the bed. "Okay! Let's get this slumber party started" she yelled as she threw a pillow at both of us.

Warren's POV
I was working my normal shift at the restaurant picking up dirty plates. I stopped at a table when I recognized Stronghold sitting there. "What are you doing here" I asked. "Well um. Looking for Layla. Do you know where she is?"
"Why would I know?"
"I mean you're taking her to homecoming" he said as the hopeful look in his eyes vanished. "Oh yeah" I said. I had completely forgotten because I was trying to avoid her in school when Harley was around, which was all the time. "Well you don't have to worry about me ruining your night cause I'm not going."
"Well that sucks" I said while sitting down in front of him, "cause we're only going together to make you jealous."
"Huh?"
"Dude you're so stupid. She's totally into you" I said. "Well if I'm stupid so are you because you're totally into Harley and scared to admit it."
I looked at him with a stunned face. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on its obvious. You stare at her all the time, which can I say is a little creepy, and you stutter and turn red when she's around. You're in love dude. And she love you back" he said with a smirk on his face. "Not anymore she's doesn't. I was too much of and asshole to see how great she was. She cared about me so much and I never understood why. And I asked myself that and I realized it's because her love scared me. I shouldn't be telling you this" I said as I stood up to leave. "No stop. It's okay to talk about it even if it's to me. I don't even think your a bad guy. I think we could've been friends if you didn't hate me so much" he said with a laugh. I laughed a little too and said "I don't hate you. I hate what your dad did to mine."
I sat back down in front of him. "Okay let's make a deal. You tell me how to get Harley back and I'll help you get Layla back" I said as I put my hand in front of him, so we could shake on it. "Deal" he said as he shook my hand.

Sorry for the short chapter. I wanted the dance and everything that happens to be its own chapter.
