(Same Night)

Recap:

Joe P O V

My mind is so focused on Layla an what's she's doing. She has been avoiding me ever since she caught me.

I want to talk to her. I really do but its just like every time I just the chance she runs away.

I NEED LAYLIEANA LOVETT-LEVESQUE IN MY LIFE!

---------------------------

Joe P O V

I plan on talking to Layla. Maybe one day she'll give me another chance. Maybe she'll give me a chance to explain.

Galina knew we would get caught one day. I knew it. Bree knew it.

I should've stopped it when I had the chance but no I had to continue.

I unlock my hotel door. Just knowing Lay won't be on the other side makes me sad.

I walk in and sit my stuff down then laid on the bed.

There's really no point of living if it's not with Lay. She's my world and I fucked it up.

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

I sigh in irritation. I just laid down.

I get up and look out of the small peephole. Layla? My face lit up. Layla!

I open the door and she jumps back a bit.

"I'm sorry." She whispers. "I thought you weren't in there."

I give her a small smile. "What you need?"

"Here.” She hands me a folded up paper. "I was kinda hoping you weren't here so I could slide it under the door like in the movies."

I chuckle and she gives me a small smile. It was hard to see it but I can tell she misses me also.

"Well, I'll just go to my room now." My smile drops. "Bye."

Before I could say it back she ran away.

I look down at the paper before shutting the door and sitting back on the bed.

I open it up and start reading it.

Dear Leati Joseph Anoa'i,

---------------------------------

Beth P O V

I struggle to get out of my car once again. I don't even know why its so hard. It just is.

I finally managed to get out of the car. I grab my purse and my suitcase.

I shut the car door and locked it after. I get into the hotel making my way to the elevators.

My phone starts ringing and I try to grab it out of my purse. While I was in the middle of my struggle I hit something hard and fell to the floor. I look up to see Jon (Dean) looking down at me.

"Sorry, Beth. I didn't see you walking." He says and helped me up.

"No, its totally fine. I was the one who wasn't paying attention. So, I should be the one apologizing." I say. "Sorry."

He chuckles then grabbed my purse and suitcase. He handed me my purse but kept my suitcase.

"I'll carry your stuff to your room. I mean, I did knock you down....and from what I've heard there's some perverts here. I wouldn't want a gorgeous lady as yourself walking around this time a night." He smiles then puts his arm over my shoulder. I blush then look down.

We got on the elevator and made it to my floor and to my room.

We talked the whole way there and he is very funny.

We make it to my door and I turn to Jon.

"Thanks for wa---" Before I could finish his lips were on mines.

I responded to him by kissing back and wrapping my arms around his neck.

Nobody could ruin this perfect.

We kissed for a while until someone clears their throat, catching our attention.

I spoke too soon.

We stop and turn to Layla, Bree, and Sky. They had smirks on their face which caused me to blushed.

"Oh, Josh let me call you back when I get in the room." Layla said to Josh on her phone. "Bye." She hangs up and looks at us then pointed to something. "Are you going to have your arms around his neck all night?"

I pull my eyebrows together signalling that I was confused. Then I look at Jon and notice my arms. I pull away with a more redder face.

"Oh, no we don't mean to interrupt your kissing fest but we were all gonna crash in this room." Bree says with a smirk and one eyebrow up just her cousin The Rock.

Before I say anything Sky cuts me off with a squeal.

"Are you two dating now?" She jumps up and down hype.

I look at Jon and he shrugs. "Yeah, Beth are we dating now?"

Colby P O V

"So, what you wanna talk about, big guy?" I ask Joe.

He called me a while ago and asked if I could come over cause he wanted to talk. Of course, I said yeah. He's a friend or should I say brother?

"Layla." He takes a deep breath. "She came by."

"Okay?"

"She gave my a letter basically saying she forgives me but there's no way we would ever go back out." He pauses looking down.

"Oh, man. Now that she came by maybe you could talk to her...you know next time you see her. Just tell her how you feel. Getting her talking to you is the first step. I mean, having a full conversation." I say. "Better yet...I'll have Layla here tomorrow to talk to you."

He scoffs. "How do you plan on doing that?"

"That's for me to know and you to never find out. I can talk to Lay and get her here tonight if I wanted by I think both of you need some sleep and get your thoughts together."

"You're right, man. Thanks." He smiles.

"Aye, I am the architect of The Shield." I smirk.

He chuckles. "There isn't a Shield anymore."

"True." We laugh and I stand up. "Alright, man. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Night."

"Night." I open the door and walked out .

I walk to mine and Bree's room. I open the door to find it empty. Where the hell is she at?

I shut the door and sit on the bed, pulling my phone out.

I called her five times leaving a  voicemail each time until I gave up. I sigh then decided to just text her.

Text message

To Bree: I love you, babe. Goodnight.

*Ten seconds later*

To Me: I love you too. And I'm with the girls. Night, Colby.

I smile before locking my phone up and laying back on the bed. Now that I know she's okay I can go to sleep.

I close my eyes and let sleep take over me.
