3am Talks

"It's late huh?" The nameless boy said, scooting closer to me on the roof

"Mhm, 3am" I mumbled, my breath catching as his fingers grazed my thigh.

He chuckled a low deep sound and looked up, dragging the liquid bottle of JD to his mouth, taking a long sip.

Following his steps, I look up, again amazed at the sight of billions stars before me.

I feel a nudge to my waist and turn my head. He offers out his bottle, and usually I would decline. After the night I've had however, I snatch the bottle and take a long sip, the alcohol burning my throats as it slides down.

"Have you ever, have you ever wondered what's out there?" He asks me as we stare at the sky for a while.

He seemed embarrassed by his question and a blush coats his cheeks, whilst my heart melts at this usually cocky boys reddening face.

Instead of teasing him however, I look at him, staring intently into his eyes, and answer truthfully.

"All the goddamn time."

And that, that was how we spent the rest of the night until 7 am talking about the wonders of the world and ranting about our problems.

Layla jones is only half of WestWoods High's "power couple". Her best friend, and "boyfriend" Liam Andrews, completes it. They're both gorgeous, blonde and not to the mention the quarterback and cheerleader captain - couldn't get any more cliche right? Except for one small problem. One year ago, Liam realised he was gay, and to cover his secret he begged his bestfriend, Layla, to pretend to date him, after all they looked like the perfect couple. Add in extra drama and it looks like Layla is in love with him, even knowing his secret. I guess you can't help who you love...

After the worst possible party ever, Layla makes for an escape on her apartment building roof, only to meet an extremely hot, cocky and dangerous stranger sitting in her usual spot.

Suddenly this turns into a drama filled with love, hate, confusion and a whole lot of 3am talks.
