Layla

"Hey, um. Can you pass me a book?" Hayes asked me as he pushed his glasses back with his middle finger. I gave him the book and he nodded looking back down at his paper.

The bell rings and I stay a bit to talk about some extra work I did over the weekend.

I see Brad at the door waiting.

"Thank you, I'll turn it all in tomorrow." I smile then turn to leave as I accidentally bump into Hayes and he drops all his papers.

"I'm so sorry, here let me-" I say but then get pulled back by Brad.

"He can do it himself. Watch yourself next time loser." He says looking at Hayes, while he picks up his papers.

"What was that for Brad?" I ask getting out of his grip.

"Don't argue with me. He's a fucking loser and shouldn't have got in your way." He fires back.

"I bumped into him." I say.

"Whatever." He says giving me a look to drop the topic.

I look back to see Hayes running to his next class.

It's 6th period and I see Hayes.

"Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't help you back there. You know how Brad is." I say looking at him.

He looks down the whole time.

"It's fine." He says in a low voice sitting down in his seat.

7th period rolls around and I walk out of class to see Hayes standing there.

"Hi, Layla. I- I'm sorry for not really forg-giving you earlier. I forgive you." He says looking up.

"Good, because I really felt bad." I say.

"I shouldn't-" He starts but gets interrupted by Brad punching him in the face.

"Brad!" I scream. I push him away from Hayes.

"Oh my goodness are you okay?" I say to Hayes, who is laying there unconscious.

"That's what you get you fucking bitch, don't talk to my girl!" He yells at Hayes, who clearly can't hear him.

10 minutes pass and Brad is gone and I sat there with Hayes in my arms.

The police and ambulance come, finally.

I give them all the information I had.

I had to leave but before I did, Hayes woke up when he was connected to all the stuff in the ambulance.

"Layla," he starts as I turn around.

"Thank you, but please stay away from me." He says quietly.

I nod and leave.

I wasn't hurt.

I just felt bad.

I call Brad.

Brad - yeah

Layla - what the fuck was that?

Brad - I had to teach him a lesson

Layla - he did nothing you fucking psychopath!

Layla - I'm done with you until you can get your shit together.

Brad - babe! Come on-

I hung up. I just ended my 7 month relationship.

I was so done with his shit.

3 WEEKS LATER

Hayes

I've been on bed rest for a week ever since that incident. It wasn't that bad but they said it messed with my asthma and they had to keep me there longer.

But now I'm fine and I take my medication regularly.

Brad got suspended for two weeks.

I see Layla and I feel bad for saying that to her.

But I couldn't be by her.

Her boyfriend always hurts me when she's there.

It's been 3 weeks.

"Hey." Layla says.

I fix my glasses.

"Hi Layla."

Hey, I swear this book is going to be amazing. Make sure you add this bitch to your library! - dmc ♥️
