Chapter 7
(Recap)
I woke up with usual sadness I get from that dream, but the sadness was quickly replaced by confusion. Where in the world am I?
******
I looked around, there was no pictures just band posters, obviously this person didn't want to document their life.

I clenched my stomach I never had that reaction before.
In the corner was a chair facing away from me.
I got off of the king sized bed and slowly crept over to the chair, the closer I got the more I distinguished a faint sound, of someone softly snoring.
I peered around and saw Axel's messy dark brown hair spilling over his closed eyes.
Hmm.
I turned around and saw my messenger bag along with my jacket on the corner of his desk.
I tip toed silently over to his desk and slipped on my jacket; I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.
I was so focused on the door that I never looked where I was going, there was a loud squeak and then my face made contact with the ground.
I groaned, so close.
"And just where do you think you're running off to, Miss Barf on my new shoes?" Axel said standing up and stretching, revealing a very hot six pack.
Bad Layla, bad. You don't like him.
"Kay, that wasn't my fault. Where am I anyways?" I asked standing up, not facing him.
"My room, smart one" Axel said, I could hear the roll of his eyes from here.
I started to continue towards the door but a he grabbed my hand.
"Layla, look I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a dick I'm just used to that" He said soundly actually sincere.
I pulled even harder, but he had me in a death grip.
Why didn't I sign up for that self defense class like my mom wanted me to?
"Layla, look at me" Axel begged.
I didn't answer.
Maybe if I make sounds like I know what I'm doing he'll let go.
Ready to let out my best Jackie Chan warrior scream, Axel physically turned me to face him.
"I said I was sorry" Axel said looking deep into my eyes.
I shook my head trying to loose the picture of his eyes from my head. Finally it was gone, but then I had to look up at him again, I wish I could swim in those beautiful blue eyes.
"Sorry, doesn't work for me Axel" I said swimming in his lost eyes, he looked wounded and sad.
"Why not it works for others girls" Axel said with a smile playing at the corner of his eyes.
"Well if you haven't noticed I'm not like other girls" I said loosing my patience.
"Fine then go" Axel said harshly, the anger was trying to cover the sadness in his eyes.
"You're not letting me go" I said never loosing eye contact.
He was still looking in my eyes, when his hand let go of mine.
I was still standing there, I didn't know why.
"Why aren't you going?" Axel asked.
At this moment I realized how close we were standing.
