Join Lay on her slightly comedic, extremely cheesy, tear throbbingly sad and partly sarcastic journey to discover who she really is.
**
Layla, an eighteen year old Latin American 'it' girl from Boston, has suffered with her addiction and boiling past for years. What will happen when her not so perfect life that she's tried hard to build comes crashing down right before her eyes, more so, when she becomes entangled in a love triangle?
Would the strongest friendships be shattered into a million lives because of mere 'love'? Would she go clean? Would she find the 'one'? Would she end up vomiting in Marcy's guestroom toilet?!
All I can assure you is that this situation won't be all butterflies and rainbows, or will it?

The Abandoned Lovers
"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ IF YOU WANT A BETTER BOOK W A SIMILAR VIBE: check out My Evangeline on my page! wayyy better written (I was prob 12 when I wrote this) and a good story! ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted.

Layla
I'm Layla, Layla Benson. The human form of average being. Nothing special to discover. My life seems as normal as I do. Three Best friend's. Two close cousins. One big family. But as the number of normality falls, my lives double. Just like my attraction for two guys who enter my world in the most different states. Aiden Kings is sweet, gentle and fits the stereotypical life of mine. We also share a secret together that makes us a good team. But Ethan Preston is dangerous, impulsive and fire itself. His presence flips my doll house visual over but makes him an even better partner in crime. As they enter my life, change comes along and pushes me over the cliff that I have been climbing on since I can think. But in fact, I have something special to uncover. A perfect mission with a different truth. Perfectly different. ~ArtemisComplete
