The Game Of Love

Magic Changes

Layla Pov:
I walked in on my parents arguing again for the fifth time this summer.

"I will leave this house with Layla and never come back." My mother yelled

"What about yeah yeah you gonna abandon him as a excuse of a mother." My dad yelled

"I'm going to come get him back." I heard my mother yelled

Being adopted with times like these were hard especially when they split everything down the middle including me and yeah yeah.

*Glass Shattering*
I jumped up out of my bed to find them arguing again.

"What is wrong with you." My dad yelled

I have to get out of here before she tries to come get me. I walked over to yeah yeah room and kissed him on the head and went out his window.
I ran as fast as I could to the only place I could go only place I could think of Benny House... I tapped on his bedroom window... I waited while he got out of his bed.

"Layla...W-what are you doing here? It's like 3 am." Benny asked rubbing his eyes

I wondered if he knew I was crying before I got here. I mean my parents fought but not like this it got violent and crazy.

"Layla?" He called me but I didn't realize I was crying until he wiped my tear away he jumped out the window and hugged me which made everything worst

"Take your time when your ready you tell me." He said rubbing my back

The more I cried the better I felt. Once I was done crying I wiped my eyes and finally told Benny.

"My parents might be getting a divorce and maybe just maybe they will split me and yeah yeah up." I said

"No they won't. I promise." He said holding out his pinky

I interlocked my pinky with his and he smiled "The Famous Benny Smile" I called it the smile that warm my heart and made my biggest fears disappear the same smile that I've known since fifth grade that smile before he said I love you

"Okay time to cheer you up." He said jumping back on his window and looking for something in his room.

"Okay." He said setting a radio on the edge of his window and climbed back outside.

He held out his hand I laughed and took it.

"Oh wait forgot the music." He said turning on the tape

*Those Magic Changes Plays*

"Really Grease." I said with smirking

"Heard you listening to the other day in your room. When I was walking yeah yeah home." He said smirking

We were slow dancing. I adore these memories because they were the only time I would hear Benny talk about more than baseball.

"Cause those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to those magic changes my heart arranges." Benny tried singing but ended up failing it was terrible

"Stick to baseball Rodriguez!" I said laughing

He didn't say anything just stuck his head in my shoulder and continued dancing. I just laughed and rubbed his back.

"Spin." He said

I spinned but he let go I was scared I was about to hit the ground but he caught me with one arm and the other one rested on my head

"Smooth Benny." I said getting up I yawned and stopped dancing

"I'm tired but really thanks for this it really helped me forget about the last two hours. I should head back home." I said getting ready to walk in the direction of my house

"Just stay here for the tonight." Benny said grabbing my hand "Plus that's a long walk home at night." He added

"Alright." I said

He climbed in his window and helped me climb in and we were off to bed.
