Layah's P.O.V.

I quickly ran up to my dorm to gather a few things. I'm beyond excited and nervous to spend the night with Kyrie. Okay, I was terrified. 'The last time I spent the night over was at my ex's house...and he wasn't so gentle.' I thought. I winced a little. I did not want to think about that.

I started to pack my duffle bag with some underclothes and socks. My phone rang... which startled me out of my daydreams with Kai.

"Heyyy....didn't see where you and Kyrie ran off too." Kayla sniffled through the phone.

"Kayla..? Are you crying? Why are you crying? where are you? What happened?" I asked frantically.

"You remember Tye right? He came up to me and started talking. I had a friendly conversation with him, and when I was done I was met with a very, very angry and scary Trey. He, he just lost it!" she cried through the phone.

"Where are you Kayla? Did, did he hurt you?" I asked getting angry.

"No, he screamed, he just screamed at me and then stormed off. And I'm in one of the stalls in the bathroom near the gym." she choked.

"I'll be right ther-."

"KAYLA!" I was cut off by Trey's screaming. "Kayla! Kayla! I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, just listen to me babe, please?" I listened to him trying to reason through the phone. "Please, just listen?" he said softly.

It went dead silent. I was nervous on the other line.

"I'll call you tomorrow Layah, Bye. I love you." she hung up, not giving me any time to respond.

I sat there confused and lost. 'Is she gonna be okay?' I thought to myself. I sent her a text to make sure she was alright. I sat and waited for her to message me back. Five minutes went by. My phone pinged. I looked at it to see that Kayla had messaged me. I breathed a sigh of relief. "We made up, I'm spending the night at his place." I smirked and rolled my eyes, still trying to calm down.

My phone rang, I picked it up, "You didn't run away did you?" Kyrie said through the phone. I knew he was smirking.

"Nah, just got tied up." I said picking up my bag and heading out the door.

Kyrie's P.O.V.

I waited in the pavilion, holding some flowers and a teddy bear. I was really looking forward to sharing my feelings with Layah. Even though we've been dating for a little, I cared about her.... I think I love her.

"Hey", I heard a voice pull me from out of my thoughts.

"Hey beautiful, these are for you." I said, handing her the gifts and smiling.

"Awww, thanks...wait, where did you get these? We were away from each other for like 10 minutes..." she grinned.

"Don't worry about that, let's go." I said as I smiled. I took her hand softly and held it as we walked towards the car. I opened the backseat door and placed our bags on the ground. I closed the door and saw Layah smiling at me.

"What?" I said.

"Nothing," she blushed. I opened the passenger door for her. She slid in and I closed the door. I walked around to the driver's side of the car. I got in and started the car.

"Ready?" I said.

"Mhm," she said. I glanced at her and she was blushing. I pulled out of the parking lot and we were on our way to the lake house. The car was a bit quiet. My heart was racing. I've never felt this awkward around a girl before. What the hell was going?
