My Wish, My Lies (Bajancanadian Fanfiction) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 6, Let It Go

Mitch's P.O.V.

I watched Layla walk away. "What the heck dude?" I asked Jerome. Jerome just laughed. "Whatever! I can never understand you!" I said laughing along. "I saw that girl Liv making "goo goo" eyes at you." Jerome said still laughing. "Haha, very funny." i said sarcastically. "No, I'm not kidding." Jerome said suddenly serious. "She was just being a fan girl! I hate when they start fan girling!" I said. "Biggums! You act like they're another species!" Then he suddenly had a lightbulb. "So what you're saying is... YOU LIKE LAYLA?!?!" Jerome yelled. People started pointing and whispering at us. "Dude! People are staring!" I said punching him in the arm playfully. Okay, so maybe I did have a crush on Layla. It didn't matter, she didn't act like she was interested. She seemed dissapointed even, when I told her my name. I had a lightbulb of my own. "She reminds me of someone." I said turning to Jerome. "What? Who?" He asked suddenly interested. "Uh-actually- nevermind. I forgot." I said turning away again. But I remembered.

Dawn.

Layla's P.O.V.

I sat down with my friends on a plush seat. I smiled at the blond interviewer. "Nice to meet you!" I said extending my hand. "You too Miss Blue!" She replied. "Please, call me Layla!" I said letting out a casual laugh. Melissa had trained us for interviewers. Be pretty, polite, and perfect wtih posture. "I'm just going to ask you gals a couple of questions alright?" Blondie said tapping her pen on her clipboard. We all nodded. "First off, what's your favorite song?" She said looking up. "I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift." Liv said right away. "Royals by Lorde." Lily said smiling. Lauren looked at me. "Made in America By Cimorelli." Lauren said still looking at me. "Uh- I guess it'd be Let Her Go by Passenger." I said nodding. "Interesting." Blondie said writing some stuff down. She asked a bunch of other questions. I was fine until she asked us: "Why did you start playing music?" "Ran in the family I guess." Liv said shrugging. "We had a spare grand piano that no one played so I started playing!" Lily said beaming. "My Elementary School teacher got me started." Lauren said. They all turned toward me expecting me to answer. No one knew why I started playing music except for Lauren. She known me the longest. I may as well say.

"When I was about 10 or 11 my parents died. Well they were killed. Someone broke into our house and killed them for reasons I don't know. The man was found dead a couple weeks later. My sister and I were re-deposited for our safety. We were hungry and homeless until someone found us." What I didn't say was that someone was Lauren. "She loved music. I taught myself to sing. It was great way to express my pain from- my- uh- loss." I said trying not to cry. No one said anything.

*FLASHBACK*

"It's going to be okay Kate." I said to my sister. "Promise me Dawn." She said looking me in the eyes. We'd been on the run for a long time. "I'll find us some food I promise." I said. She was going to cry. "Call me Cheryl remember." She said to me. "Sure sweetie. Cheryl." I said stroking her hair. "Okay Layla." Cheryl said laying down. I heard something move and creak. Something heavy being pushed. "Oh my gosh!" I heard a girl's voice yell. "Who are you?" The girl said. Her face was hidden behind a garbage can. "We're..." I couldn't answer that question. The girl stepped out from behind the garbage can. "I'm Lauren." She said. Her voice had softened. "I'm Layla. This is Cheryl. We're orphans. We ran away." I said simply. "Oh, oh gosh. Um. Come with me." Lauren finally said. 

*FLASHBACK OVER*

I remember Lauren leading us to her house and giving us a home. I owed her my life. "That was... beautiful." The blond said. "It's true." I finally replied. "Do I have permission to put this on the air?" She asked. I appreciated her asking. "Yeah. Yeah you do. They'd find out anyway." I said. Liv and Lily stood. Lauren offered me her hand and I took it.

"I"m gonna go to the cotton candy place!" Liv said excitedly. "Joining!" Lily said. "I'm gonna go get something else to eat. Layla?" Lauren asked. "I'll stay! But bring me back a hotdog and some pink cotton candy!" I said waving good bye. They left. I walked around looking at my phone. Someone had posted a pic of Jerome on his knee in front of me. Everyone was askind about us getting married. I laughed. I tweeted: No wedding! Just a joke guys! Jerome was just complimenting me on my Celine Dion impression! Luv you all! 

I sighed. I stood up and started walking around with my phone in my hand. I bumped into someone and soda spilled everywhere. The cup dropped onto the ground. I bent down to pick it up at the same time someone else did. I looked up and saw a pair of warm blue eyes fixtated on mine. I blushed. "Sorry." I said standing up. He stood up as well. He looked familiar. "Hey! You're Minecraft Universe!" I said. "Well now I feel more stupid. Made a guy spill his soda and didn't recognize his famous face!" I said laughing. He joined into my laughing. He stood there. "Dude? Do you need some napkins or something cause it looks like you peed your pants." I said smiling. He grinned. "Just waiting to see if you would go all fangirl." "Oops. Sorry." I said. I started dancing around like a monkey and squealing at the top of my lungs. "OMG! IT'S MINECRAFTUNIVERSE! I'M GONNA DIE! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? YOUR ADDRESS? YOUR HEAD?" I yelled. He laughed. "Yes, kind of creepy dude, and when I find it." He said answering all three of my questions. "Loved your performance by the way." He said. "Ah yes. The one Jerome congratulated me on! The one that made everyone think Jerome and I are getting married!" I said laughing. "What?!" TrueMU yelled. "Show me!" He yelled. "Before I show you my future husband's proposal picture..." I said grinning. "Can at least know your name? Even though I know it already? Kind of the normal procedure in meeting someone." I said smiling at him. He brushed his brown hair out of his face. "Jason." He said extending his hand. "Layla." I said shaking it. "Now... DA PICTURE IS REVEALED!" I yelled showing it to him. He laughed. "Yep! That's the facial expression I would have if I were you!" Jason said laughing and pointing. My face was scrunched up in a confused and creeped out kind of way. "Looks cute on you though." He said blushing. I let out a laugh. "Everything looks cute on a monkey face dood!" I said grinning. "I know! That's why everyone said I'm so cute!" Jason replied joining in my laughter. Someone tapped my shoulder.

Mitch's P.O.V.

I was walking around the boardwalk just exploring. I saw Layla on her phone. I started walking faster. I needed to tell her about that picture someone took of her and Jerome. She bumped into someone and spilled a bunch of soda. The guy looked up. It was Jason. Cool. I kept walking. She said something to make him laugh. Then she started dancing around and screaming like a monkey. Jason was laughing and smiling. Jason looked suprised about something. They shook hands. Layla was showing him something on her phone. I was getting closer to them. "Looks cute on you though." I heard Jason say. Layla blushed. I felt a wave of jealousy come over me. He said something to make her laugh. Lauren came up and tapped her shoulder.

I'm not going to lose you again Dawn.

Not again.
