Layla

Andrew
I'm on my way right now

Layla
Okay, I'll see you soon!

Layla locked her phone and coughed, placing her hand over her mouth. Morgan was sitting beside her, watching the television intently.

"What am I gonna do?" Layla asked, snapping Morgan out her TV trance.

"You really do like him?" She sighed, and Layla nodded her head in embarrassment, "Don't be embarrassed, it's normal to like someone."

"I know," Layla paused, stuffing her hands in his jacket that he left the night before.

"Look, you're going for two and a half months, but that doesn't mean you have to worry. He's gonna he here when you come back." Morgan explained.

"I'm just worried that I'll come back and he'll be waiting with someone else." Layla sniffled, looking at her newly found best friend.

"Well, for your sake, I won't let him." Morgan smiled, ruffling Layla's messy hair.

"Thank you." Layla beamed, leaning against Morgan's arm.

The door burst open and in walked an out of breathe Andrew, "I'm here, sorry I'm late!" He said out breathe and landing on the couch beside Layla.

"Hey!" Layla smirked, pulling her legs up to the seat.

"How long do you have left until you leave?" Andrew asked, a sad tone of voice.

"1 hour," She sighed sadly, frowning as she did, "I don't wanna go."

"I know," Morgan chimed in, "but this your life, you make the show what it is."

"She's right you know." Andrew added.

"Thanks you guys." She smiled.

It was time to go, and Layla had just hugged Ryland, Morgan, Garrett and Shane goodbye. Layla wrapped her arms around her brother, digging her head into his shoulder.

"Be good." She instructed, pulling away and fixing one his messy curls.

"I will, I promise." He smiled, squirming as she adjusted his clothes. He was taller than her, he was 5'7 and she couldn't believe how much he'd grown up.

"I love you Jackaroo." She sighed.

"I love you too Laybug." He smiled.

"We're gonna wait in the car," Shane said, everyone following but Andrew.

"I don't wanna go." She sniffled, looking up into Andrews brown eyes.

"I don't want you to go either, but I'll text you everyday." He reminded and she side smiled softly.

"Oh let me give you your jumper back." She started, beginning to pull off the jumper that was lose on her. Andrew stopped her and she stared in confusion.

"Keep it, so you don't forget me." He whispered, wrapping his arms around her.

"Thank you." Layla whispered back, taking in his pine scent and falling deeply in love with how is arms cupped her body.

He pulled away and just on time the intercom went off, he cupped her cheeks and pressed lips against her forehead and this time, she pressed her lips softly against his cheek.

"I'll see you soon, don't go anywhere on me." She choked out, beginning to walk off.

"I'll see you soon too and I promise." He waved her off as she entered the plane.
