Unspoken

This chapter will be a short one as it is just a "filler chapter", giving insight to Layton's mind

Two weeks, it's been two weeks since I walked out of Jamie's apartment, two weeks since he told me "I love you", two weeks since I've been without my best friend and let me tell you it was internal hell, we so clearly know there's nothing more toxic than silencing our screams yet we choose to do it, probably because the gravity of our heart weighs us down. I hadn't told the others what had conspired, that just would've opened up a can of worms.

On a brighter note Kiandre had met my father officially as my boyfriend. Dad wasn't one of those stuck up people that would look down on Kiandre because of where he grew up- in fact that earned him more respect, see my father grew up in an orphanage and had seen struggle first hand so they related in a way, plus dad saw the way Kiandre treated me and kept me happy and that's really all a parent wants for their child to be happy.

I was growing nervous, Kiandre and I hadn't done "it" as yet, he would always stop midway our steamy sessions. Thoughts clouded my mind "did he not find me attractive enough" "did he lie when he said he was falling in love with me?" "Does he regret this" however I was soon slapped back into reality by my self confidence and trust in him

Mid-term exams were coming up, I had stop going to music class so I could study in the library. Rose would often join me while the boys continued in their robotics club. I had begun to wonder about what the future would hold- I knew I wanted to go to law school (a way to bring justice to victims) but what about everybody else? Would we be scattered across the state?

What happens to our over 10 year's friendship? Heck if Jamie's and mine which was 17 years could be ruined by 3 simple words, what chance did any of these have? Did I say simple words heck those are the strongest most powerful words capable of building or destroying life as we know it.

Rick- I hadn't heard from him, I presumed he was back undercover and busy kicking ass in the races

Kiandre the one that would consume my thoughts the most in case you didn't notice- he would definitely get scholarships to any university of his picking after all this guy is as smart as a whip but question is would he pack up and leave his family? After all he is the only stability they had. I'm not saying his life would be wasted if he chose to look after his family but I am saying his potential for greatness would be. Does thinking that make me a bad person?

Well all I knew and was certain of is that we had to make the best of the time we had left and create lasting memories - first on the agenda would be Kiandre's 18th birthday which was a day after our last exam. I wanted to throw him a surprise party at my home with just our close friends and his family even though he insisted on not making a big fuss over his big day.

Rose and I planned and schemed while Cassidy kept Kiandre distracted, we brought Tyler into the loop- he would be responsible for getting their family over to the party. He asserted that we should invite some of Kiandre's friends from South Heights as well as he still belonged to those streets. I was apprehensive about this having not met any of them- but I wasn't going to be one of those people who judged them because of where they grew up, I would extend them the same respect I did Kiandre.

Exams came and went smoothly, well besides math it was a bitch, I mean come on I'm not going to use trigonometry or the area of a damn circle in this life time. I never understood how Rose and Kiandre were so good at it.
