do you know that feeling when you nap too long and you wake up in the middle of the night and everything is dark and quiet.
like the whole world ceased to exist.
that's how layla felt as she woke up later that night clouded and confused from a full days sleep.
she opened her phone seeing it was 9:37 and she had a few text messages from luke
"i hope you're doing alright."
"haven't heard from ya today lay"
"why can't i stop thinking about you"
"i'm so confused."
"i'm coming over." was the last message she received 5 minutes ago.
she decided since he was sure to arrive shortly she'd get up,
mail was on the floor next to the front door of her apartment dropped through the slot earlier that morning.
she passed through the bills and came across something that set her off
"we are pleased to invite you to the wedding of makenna edwards & tyler dime. save the date 11/08."
it didn't hurt enough that he didn't love her,
or that he was infatuated with her own mother. But the fact they were together, now engaged and didn't tell her. it infuriated her beyond measures. the only boy she's ever loved, is getting married to her mother in 2 weeks. no call. no invite over. nothing.
she began to cry out of pure frustration and just to her luck a certain blonde boy soon knocked on the door.
becoming to caught up in crying she didn't hear when he opened the door.
she didn't hear the bag of in and out being placed on the counter and she didn't hear him walk into her room until he was knelt down beside her picking her up.
"what's wrong chica?" she tucked her mangled hair behind her ear.
she picked up the invitation and handed it to him with no words.
"are you kidding me?" he let out a huff of air and ran his hand through his hair.
"i'm going to this wedding with you and we're going to make a point." luke said with such certainty it almost made her believe him.
"who said i was going?"
"i did. we are going to get you a dress. we are going to show up and you're going to slay everyone's life." he said with a wink.
sad and confused she soon fell asleep on top of the strange blonde boy who she already needed more than anyone.
