Safe Goodbye
POV LaylaThe next morning I woke up tangled with Marissa and Eve yet again. This was beginning to become a habit and honestly, I didn't mind. I quietly and carefully got up and ran out into the hall and to the bathroom. I decided to take a quick shower before anyone else got up. I had put my bathroom bag in here the night before so I had all my stuff. It wasn't until I got out of the shower that I realized that I didn't bring clean clothes or a bathrobe to the bathroom with me. I decided to wrap a big towel around me and hope that no one was up. Big mistake. As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw Finn and Vander talking in front of the door. Shit! Finn looked up at me and his eyes widened. I cringed at him and he shook his head. Vander looked up then and Finn grabbed his chin and turned his head away from me."What the hell, Finn?" Vander exclaimed."Nope, don't turn around. What the hell, Lay?" Finn said."I forgot to grab my clothes and took a shower!" I said as I hurried to the

A couple minutes later, Vander's phone rang."It's Marissa." Van said and he picked up. I stood up in confusion. Something wasn't right. Why would Marissa call Vander if she was talking to Layla?"What?! When?!" Van yelled into the phone.He looked at me with panic in his eyes and asked, "WHERE'S LAYLA?" I ran to the hallway with Vander and Leo right behind me. The rest of our friends followed us. No no no no. This can't be happening. I kept thinking. When we got to the hall, a strange sight greeted us. A guy that I didn't recognize was on the ground bleeding while Spencer and Trevor stood over him on one side of the hallway while Peter was kneeling by Layla who was lying on the floor on the other side."LAYLA!? What happened?" I yelled at Peter. He looked at me with fear in his face."I...
Safe Sweet but Psycho
POV Layla Trigger warning violence, talk of rape and abuse, talk of kidnapping, languageWe were awoken by Finn softly talking to us."Layla? Eve? I hate to wake you but you both need to eat" he said as he rubbed my arm. I opened my eyes and smiled at him. Eve squeezed me closer."I don't want to let her go." Eve said to him. I turned my head to look at her and saw tears in her eyes.She looked at me and said, "We almost lost you today. I'm never letting go""I know the feeling." Leo said from the doorway. He walked over to us and put his arms out."Can I have her for a minute, Eve? You know that I'll keep her safe." Leo pleaded to Eve and she reluctantly nodded. Leo rose his eyebrows at me and I nodded and reached for him. He pulled me up and then picked me up. He carried me over to the meeting table on the other side of the office and sat down with me. I looked at him and saw panic in his eyes."I'm ok, Leo. I'm safe. I'm here." I whispered.He nodded and said, "I know. That was to
Safe Bad Guy
POV Layla TW Lots of violence language as always "Enough!" I yelled. The room is immediately silent. I looked at Finn who closed his eyes, bracing himself for what I'm about to say. I know what he thinks is coming, but he's wrong. I stood up and walked to stand in front of all of them."I don't want to put my friends at risk" I began. There was an instantaneous uproar."WAIT! LET ME FINISH!" I screamed. Suddenly, everyone was shocked and quiet."Thank you! As I was saying, I don't want to put my friends at risk but I know that we are always stronger together. We are a package deal. Besides, they won't sit this out, they'll sneak around and probably put themselves in more danger than they would be in if they just came with us." I finished."I don't think that this is a good idea" Luke said."I hear you, Luke, but frankly, this isn't your decision. This isn't a Watchmen operation. It's ours. I appreciate your help and would love to have more but I'm not a Watchman. I don't belong to t
Safe Gangsta

I am terrified at what is about to happen and a big part of me wants to call the whole thing off. Just turn Billy in and let the police try and find Tate. But I know that I can't. I won't have a moment of peace if we don't catch him. I will always have to look over my shoulder for him. I need to get this done so I take a deep breath and calm myself. I buried my head in Finn's shoulder and breath in his scent. He is my rock. I know that I can trust him completely. Soon we pull into a gas station parking lot about a block from the school. Everyone stashed their bikes in the shadows and we crept toward the school.When we arrived at the school, I looked around and took a deep breath. We were there an half of a hour before Tate was supposed to meet Billy but I was scared that he might already be there. Thankfully the only vehicle in the lot was the van. It was exa
Safe Just Us
POV LeoI watched Finn and my sister walk away in confusion. When I finally understood that they were leaving to spend the night at the Plaza together, I started after them. Eve stopped me though."Let them go, Babe. They need a break. You know that Finn would never hurt her in any way. He adores Layla." Eve said as she grabbed my arm. I growled but stopped and turned to her. That's when I realized that she was hurt. She had a bruise on her cheek and a cut on her chin."WHAT HAPPENED? I thought that we agreed that you were going to stay hidden?" I shouted. She flinched and I softened my voice, feeling like an ass."I'm sorry. I'm not trying to scare you. What happened?" I asked."I was hidden, like we discussed but then I saw two guys go after Peter. He would have been killed, so I ran to help. I punched one of them but then he hit me a few times before Layla ran over and kicked the shit out of him. Peter and I beat up the other guy together then. Layla told Peter and I to stay togeth
Safe Lovely
POV LaylaFinn kept his arm around me as we took the elevator and left the hotel. When we got to his bike, I hesitated. I looked down at my short, tight skirt and sighed, cursing Eve in my head. Finn chuckled and put down his bag. He took off his jacket and the his flannel. He handed me first the flannel to tie around my waist which I did then he put his jacket on me. "Just like old times" I joked and he smirked. He kissed me and picked up the bag. We both got on his bike and drove to the Den I held him tighter than usual on our way and Finn made sure to keep to side streets so we wouldn't be seen on the way. We pulled up to the crowded parking lot. I spotted Vander's truck along with all our friends bikes. After we parked, Finn turned to me and asked, "Are you ok? You were squeezing pretty hard there." He looked at me with concern. We both climbed off the bike. "I'm good" I said quickly. He cocked his head and frowned. "Layla, come on. What's going on?" He asked. "While we were
Safe Mad World
POV Finn"What happened, Dad?" I asked as we bounced around in the back of the van. Dad looked over at me and sighed. "I'm not sure. Something serious. Sheriff Meyer just called me and said that there was an emergency at the jail and he needed us to come in to the station immediately. It sounded bad. He said that he needed Layla." Dad said and he closed his eyes. I looked at Layla and her eyes were wide with panic. I put my arm around her a pulled her close. "It will be ok. We're here. We will figure it out" I said to her. I made eye contact with Eve and Leo and they nodded. "He's right. Remember what I said, we can face anything together, right?" Leo said as Eve cuddled into Layla. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you ever again." Eve said forcefully. Layla turned to Eve and buried her face in her hair. I rubbed her back and Leo kept talking to her. "It's ok, La. You're safe. We're all safe. Nothing will stop us". He said. "I just don't know how much more I can take." L

Safe All Good Things (Epilogue)
POV LaylaThe next couple of years had some ups and downs but our friends stuck together through everything. At first, I had to fight with Leo, Van, Jake and even occasionally Finn for my independence and against their natural tendencies for being overprotective asses. Eventually, they got better or at least livable although I still had to punch Leo from time to time.Marissa and her Mom both moved to Porter for a 'fresh start'. It may seem strange to move to the place where your son/brother committed horrible crimes for a new beginning but somehow, it worked. Marissa had a long road to recovery but since she had so much support here, she has remained sober for the last years of high school and graduated with a full ride to a good school back in Chicago. She and Vander dated for a while again but just couldn't make it work. She ended up casually dating Jake for the last year of school and for some reason, they seemed to fit. Vander was happy for them both.Jake and Pam broke up right
Safe The Morning After
POV FinnPeter and I walked back to our house a bit after Layla and Marissa went to bed. To say that I was frustrated was an understatement. I slammed the door closed and threw my hat on the table."It'll be ok, Finn. She's not going to leave. She's just pissed and needs some space." Peter tried to calm me."Space? How am I supposed to give her space when all I want to do is have her with me all the time? My head understands what she needs and wants but the rest of me is violently disagreeing" I storm. Peter nodded."I get that but you are going to have to find a way or you really will lose her" he replied. I sighed."I know. I know." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath."You know her. What should I do?" I asked him."Back off. Let her call you, let her make the first move. Give her some freedom. She's safe. Give her what she's asking for." he suggested."Freedom?" I asked weakly, knowing how dangerous that sounded."You have to risk losing her. She needs to find herself again. If
Safe Pissed
POV LaylaFinn finally parked his bike between Leo and Tom. I quickly took off the helmet and went to hop off when Finn grabbed my hand."Where are you going?" he growled. I glared at him."Inside." I replied, furrowing my eyebrows."Not without me. I meant what I said before. You need to stay with me." he ordered. I scoffed at him."Don't be ridiculous. I'm fine. This is the Den. It's safe!" I argued."No, he's right. The same goes for you, Eve." Leo piped in from behind me."What the hell?" Eve stormed and I looked at her. She looked as pissed as I felt. I was trying to be understanding and all but this was too much."Listen, we aren't some helpless girls that can't take care of ourselves." Eve began but Leo cut her off."That's sure what it seemed like today, am I right, Finn?" he snapped. Finn nodded as he looked at me."Are you fucking kidding right now?" I raged. I slapped Finn and Eve did the same to Leo. Neither of them reacted except to try to grab us. Eve grabbed my hand fir
Safe New Problems
POV Layla"What was that?" Dan shouted."I don't know. Come with me to check it out. Steven come with us. Pam, Suzy, watch them!" Tyler ordered. He pulled out two guns and handed one to Pam and one to Suzy."If they move, shoot them" he finished. He held his gun while both Dan and Steven pulled out theirs as well. The three of them ran up the stairs. I glanced at Jake's hands and saw that he was free as well. He raised his eyebrows at me and I nodded slightly. I started to double over and cried out."What's wrong with her?" Suzy demanded."It's my stomach. I think that I'm going to be sick" I called as Suzy walked over to me. Just as I was about to punch her, she fell at my feet. We all looked up in shock as Pam put her gun away. She had just hit her own cousin on the back of the head and knocked her out cold."I'm so sorry, Layla, Jake. I never wanted to do any of this. My dad and uncle forced me. They said that they would beat me if I didn't help." Pam cried as she went to untie me.
Safe Lucky?
POV Marissa (Remember her? Billy's sister and Layla's best friend from Chicago?)I was so glad to be out of that rehab! Mom was overjoyed that I was out too. She was so happy that I convinced her to let me go visit Layla. I needed to make some things right with her and I knew that I needed to do it in person. I decided to surprise her on the day she and her friends were getting back home. With any luck, I might even run into her at the airport. I hurried off the plane when we landed and went through baggage check. I checked the screens to see when the flight from Florida would be in. Shit, it had already landed a while ago."Guess I'll just have to take a cab to her house." I mumbled to myself as I walked out of the airport. A cab pulled up to be just as a van passed. I looked up to catch a glimpse of Layla and Eve with some other friends in it. They didn't notice me. I smiled."Please follow that van. Some friends are in it and I need to catch up with them." I asked my driver. He loo
Safe Home
POV LaylaAfter we landed, Finn and I got our carry on bags as the rest of our friends did the same. We waited until everyone else had gotten off the plane to leave together. Finn and I followed our friends off the plane and into the airport. Keri led us all to the baggage claim where we wrestled with all the suitcases."I think that's all of them." Hart announced and I sighed at the huge pile of suitcases."Our drivers are over there." Eve gestured to three men all holding signs with her name on it."Why are there three? I thought you ordered two?" Finn asked. Eve shrugged."It's ok. We'll need them." she replied as she nodded toward the luggage."Why don't you girls and Hart all go in the first van while the rest of us help load the luggage?" Tom offered. Finn looked annoyed but he nodded."Ok but Peter and Jake should go with them. Just to be safe." Finn added and I agreed. I wanted to argue that we could take care of ourselves but we shouldn't take chances with Hart's well being.
Safe Traveling Home
POV Layla"Since it's our last full day here, I think that we should enjoy the beach and house today and then go out for a nice dinner tonight." Eve announced at breakfast the next morning. The rest of us agreed."Great! There's a really nice steak and seafood restaurant not too far from here that I already have reservations for at seven." She added and I chuckled. We all went and changed into our swimsuits."Finnie, we should pack up some tonight too." I suggested and he nodded."Let's go to the beach and then come back this afternoon and start packing." he recommended and I smiled."I'm going to miss sharing a room with you" I said and he smirked."I'm going to miss sharing a bed with you." he added suggestively. I rolled my eyes but giggled. We grabbed some towels and headed down to the beach. We laid down between Peter and Eve."It's so cool that your housekeeper washed all our laundry. Now I don't have to take dirty clothes home." Peter was saying to Eve as we settled in."Eve, I
Safe Vacation Fun
POV LaylaThe next day we decided to go sightseeing. Peter seemed in a better mood and loved every second of visiting the sights of the area which were not that exciting to the rest of us but we humored him. To be honest, it was boring but it got us out of the house and walking around. By the end of the day, we were exhausted. We got drive thru for dinner and everyone went straight to bed when we got back to the house.Everyone slept late and we all met up in the kitchen the next day."I don't want to cook. Let's just do fruit and cereal for breakfast" I suggested. The rest agreed and as we munched, we discussed what our plans were for the day."The weather is perfect. Let's have another beach day. We can make a bonfire tonight." Eve suggested."That sounds great." Keri gushed and everyone else nodded.Finn and I changed into our swimsuits and grabbed some towels. We spent the morning splashing in the water and building sandcastles. When we got hungry, we went back to the house and ma
Safe Rainy Day and Shopping
POV FinnLayla and I woke up to the sound of thunder the next day."That was loud" she commented as I got up to shut the window before it rained too much in."Let's get up, I want biscuits and gravy." Layla suggested."You can make that?" I asked, excited when she nodded back.We both took turns in the bathroom and then hurried down to the kitchen. She directed me as what to do and soon, the kitchen smelled wonderful. Van and Jake were surprisingly the first to stumble down the stairs."What are you two making?" Jake demanded as Van got them both some coffee."Lay's making biscuits and gravy and I'm making eggs and sausages to go with it." I answered.They both looked shocked for a moment and then Jake smiled a sly grin."If things don't work out with Finn, I'm here. Just so you know..." Jake faked whispered to Layla."Hey! I'm already signed up to be her rebound!" Van argued.I glared at both of them as Layla shook her head."Nope. She's mine, boys." Peter added as he walked in.He w
