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

Chapter 12

Layla's P.O.V.

I ripped the piece of paper to shreds. "Deep breath." I said to myself. Today had been quite the eventful day. I walked back into the living room. "Movie?" I asked Jason. "Sure. We can go into a guest room." He said smiling. He grabbed my hand and led me into a guest room. "What movie?" He asked. "Divergent?" (Pretend it already came out) "Sure." Jason said putting the disc into the DVD tray. We sat on the bed and watched the movie. I started to drift off to sleep. "You can lean your head on my shoulder if you'd like Layla." Jason said smiling. I let my head touch his shoulder. I tried concentrating on the movie. "Got to sleep." Jason said softly. He kissed my forehead and I fell asleep.

I woke up groggily. Jason was asleep on the floor. Awwwwww. I got up quietly and left the room. I checked my phone. 1 A.M.? A bunch of people were asleep on the floor, on the couch, and in the bathtubs. I saw Jerome laying on the couch holding hands with Lauren. I wouldn't come between them. Jerome was drunk when he talked to me in the hall. I saw Liv on the floor in the middle of the hallway. Lily was in one of the guest rooms. Adam was asleep on the floor in the same room. I sighed. The smell of alcohol and B.O. was making me gag. I stepped out on to the balcony that Jason and I were on earlier that night. "You're awake too?" a voice said behind me. I whirled around. "Mitch?" I said surprised. He nodded. I felt guilty. "Sorry for snapping at you earlier." I said to him sheepishly. "It's alright." He said. "No, I'm really sorry. I must've embarrassed you." I said turning back to see the view. He walked up to me. "I recall someone saying not too long ago that they were fine. Why'd you change your mind so quickly?" He asked. "Jerome talked to me." I said.

Crap.

I promised I wouldn't say anything!

MItch raised his eyebrows. "What did he say?" He asked suddenly curious. I opened my mouth to speak but stopped myself. "Told me not to be mad at you for kissing Liv." I said. Mitch motioned me to continue. "Said that you saw me give Jason a kiss on the cheek." Mitch blushed. "We're just friends." I said. "It was a sisterly kiss."

"Oh." Mitch said. "Did he say anything else?" He asked. I nodded. "You sure you want to hear?" I asked. Mitch nodded. "He said you liked me but you were confused." I whispered. Mitch turned away. "Layla-" He tried to speak but I turned away. "I won't steal my best friend's boyfriend." I said to him still not looking at him. "I'm not her boyfriend!" Mitch yelled. "She's just a fan girl!" He yelled at me. I turned around. "A fan girl? That fan girl is one of my best friends! And I will not steal the guy she kissed! Whether you were a super nice guy like Jason or Jerome or if you were an even bigger jerk than you actually are!" I screamed at him. "In fact I'm a fan girl too!" I yelled feeling my cheeks go red.

"At least I used to be," I said finally calming down.

"Layla I'm sorry!" He yelled. "Sorry?" I said in disbelief. "You're sorry?! After falsely accusing me of dating Jason, then kissing one of my best friends out of anger, then instead of telling me yourself that you like me, you have Jerome tell me?!" I said my anger coming back again. "You're right." Mitch whispered. I turned back toward him. "I shouldn't have... done... well any of that." He said. He looked at me. "You're... you're... crying?" I whispered surprised. I immediatly slapped my hand over my mouth. "Stupid." I whispered under my breath. He gave me a weak smile. "Yeah. You're watching a grown man cry." He said to me. "Hey, it's okay! I mean I look like a lady on the outside, well I hope I do at least, but I'm really a eight year old on the inside." I said to him grabbing his hand. "I promised you it wouldn't be like last time. And this isn't a promise I'll break." I whispered. "Eight year old? You're..." Mitch said. "I mean I have the brain of child!" I said before he could finish his sentence. I was pratically forcing him to forget about Dawn.
