Perfectly Wrong | S.M
Chapter: Four
Layla

I walk into the break room to grab my stuff because i've finished my shift, "I'll see you next week Carl" I tell my manager

I walk out of the cafe and get into my car, i put my bag in the back seat. I stare at the glove box, i shake my leg wondering if i should just open the letter. I shake my head and start the car, it's 11pm and i hate driving in the dark.

I drive past a few houses, i see someone sat on the curb outside a park. As i get closer i recognise the person, my heart beats out of my chest as i pull up next to them.

I roll down my window, "Hey stranger" I smile

He looks up at me, he squints his eyes a few times, "Layla Rhodes, is that you?" Shawn asks

Hearing him say my name made my heart only beat faster. Seeing him. again brought back so much, so many memories. I missed him.

He stands up, "Miss me?" I ask

He smiles at me and walks closer to the car, "Of course i did"

I smile a his reply because i missed him, i haven't seen him in a few years and i was used to seeing him everyday since kindergarten. I missed his touch, i missed his smell, i missed him.

"What are you doing sitting on the curb at 11pm, shouldn't you be with your family?" I ask

He looks at the floor, "It's been a crap night, i just got here and i feel like i need to get away already" He tells me

"Jump in" I tell him

He nods his head, he gets inside the car and
puts his seatbelt on, "Where are we going?" He asks

"It's a surprise" I smile

He raises his eyebrow at me, "Are we going to the hill that over looks the city?" He questions me

I hit his arm, "You always ruin the surprises" I groan

"Remember in 4th grade when you ruined my surprise birthday party" He shoots back

I roll my eyes, "Are you ever going to give that up?" I ask

"I remember Liam told your mom as soon as found out" He laughs

I shake my head, "Liam's always been a snakey brother" I mutter

He nods his head, "But, he is a really good brother, you can't deny that. I've never seen someone so protective since-"

"Yourself" I cut him off

Our eyes meet, "Yeah" He smiles

Why did he have to smile? I feel my heart melt. I can't believe how much i had missed him, it's taking everything inside of me not to jump on him and hug him, but it's also taking everything inside of me not to slap him in the face for ignoring me and forgetting who his friends were.

I park at the top of the hill, i get out and i sit on the hood of the car, Shawn joins me. We stare at the overview of the city, the lights look beautiful.
