JJ and Layla had ended up crashing at John B's, despite him being a bit upset that the pair thought it was funny to come into his room with the lights off and proceed to begin yelling.

The sleeping arrangements when someone slept over usually consisted of two in the extra room and two in the living room.

Since Pope and JJ said that it was "gay as fuck" to share a bed, it usually ended up with Kiara and Layla sharing the extra room. JJ and Pope would sleep on the couches in the living room.

Layla didn't mind; she would choose the bed over the couch any day.

So after they woke John B from his slumber to entertain them for an hour, JJ decided he was just going to sleep. He passed out on the couch, his legs sprawled into Layla's lap.

After losing a member of their party, Layla and John B decided it was time for them to venture to bed as well. Layla headed to the spare room, and then John B headed to his.

Layla awoke to the obnoxious ringing of her cell phone. She picked it up off the nightstand, quickly glancing at the caller ID. It was her grandmother.

She hurriedly pressed the green phone icon to answer the call, pressing it to her ear. "Hello?" Layla's voice was groggy.

"Hey, honey," the women's voice spoke through the line. "Are you busy today?"

Layla yawned, glancing at the light coming through the blinds. "Uh, no, Grandma, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you could meet Diane at the shop, she left her purse there when she closed last night," her grandma explained. "I just was running a bunch of errands and didn't want to keep her waiting."

"Yeah, of course, Grandma," Layla replied, rolling over in bed. "I can be there in twenty."

"Thank you, Sweetie," Flora stated, "I'll give her a call. I love you."

"Love you, too," Layla replied, hanging up the phone. She dropped it on to the bed, sitting up. She reached her arms up, stretching and hearing her entire spine crack right along with it.

Layla's grandma didn't even bother to question her slipping out the night previous night; she was used to it. She assumed Layla had ended up at Kiara's house or maybe John B's.

She then climbed out of the bed, going over to her small drawstring. She pulled out the denim shorts and the white t-shirt with a small knot in the front. She also grabbed a white bra, changing quickly in the small room.

She grabbed her toothbrush and hairbrush and opened the door to the bedroom. The hallway was quiet, and she headed into the bathroom. She locked the door behind her, using the restroom, washing her hands, combing through her hair, and brushing her teeth. She used the toothpaste John B kept in the drawer.

Layla then opened the door, returning to the bedroom. She made the white bed, and then returned her few items into her bag. She grabbed her cell phone off of the counter, slipping it into her back pocket. Layla pulled her two braided bracelets on to her wrists. She also grabbed her black drawstring, exiting the room. She pulled the door shut behind her.

When she emerged into the living room, she saw JJ sitting back in the chair on his cell phone. Seeing the boy awake in the chair made her jump slightly; she didn't expect him to be awake. John B was an early riser and was probably already off to work. Now, JJ, on the other hand, the boy liked to sleep.
