Are you wanting for me to hit you or something?" He looked almost as frustrated as I felt, what did he have to feel like that? "You don't understand Layla, nothing's working" I shot him a look, what does he mean nothing is working? "You are literally trying to make me mad on purpose, why?" The fire inside me made the words come out harsher than I intended, but I decided I didn't care. He made me like this. "Because I want to help, but I need to make sure you're the right person" We stood silent for a few seconds, before the first part of his sentence registered in my head and I responded to it. "I don't need your help, I don't need any of your help" Luka snapped his head towards me, and a small laugh escaped from from his mouth. "Trust me, you do" ----------------------------- Layla is thrust into a new life consisting of pain, love and betrayal, and no matter how hard she tries, she won't ever be able to escape.
