POV FinnI looked at Peter hugging my girlfriend and sighed. I knew that they had just been through a fight and that there was nothing but friendship going on between the two of them but still...he had his hands on her and I was struggling to maintain composure."Hey, Peter? Can you get your hands off my girlfriend? I need to talk to her." I said trying to make me voice seem light but I was failing.Suddenly Layla looked at me and pulled away. She stood up and rushed into my arms. I held her tight and kissed her head. Peter looked at me, guiltily and I glared at him."Are you sure that you're alright, baby?" I asked and she nodded."I'm good Finnie. Like I said, Peter took all the hits" She replied and kissed me. She started to pull away and I pulled her closer and kissed her deeply. I let go after a minute and saw that Peter had gotten up and was reading a paper to give us a moment of privacy."So we need to discuss what we are going to do about Ken and Chuck. The group isn't going t
POV FinnI let out a sigh of relief at the end of the meeting. It had gone well and I felt like Layla would be safer now. I frowned when I saw her dancing with Sally again. I wasn't ok with the whole gang watching my girlfriend grind on my best friend. If I had a problem with this, there was no way that either of them could do the Watchmen intiation dance. I would lose it. I looked around and noticed that Gunner and Spike were practically drooling. Nope, I needed to stop this now. I walked over to Keri who was sitting at the bar."Do you think that you could help me break this up?" I asked and she nodded. She looked pissed as well. She called for Sally and she came over."What's up, Ker?" Sally asked."Can I get another, please?" Keri asked coolly"Sure, babe" Sally started making the drink as Layla worked the other end of the bar. I relaxed and grinned at Keri."Thanks, Keri." I said and she nodded. I went to the other side of the bar and slid up behind Layla."Need some help?" I whi
POV FinnI woke up and stretched. I sat up and looked over at Leo who was taking up over half of my bed. I crawled out of bed and went to the bathroom. After that I went into the kitchen to make some coffee and looked into the T.V. room. Jake was snoring on one couch while Vander was waking up on the other one. He grinned at me and walked into the kitchen. I poured two cups of coffee and handed him one. We sat at the table."Thanks for letting us crash here last night." Vander said quietly."It was no problem." I said. It really wasn't. Dad was up when we got in and seemed happy to have everyone over. We made a couple of frozen pizzas and watched a movie. Jake fell asleep halfway through and Van fell asleep towards the end. Leo and I went to bed soon after.Dad stumbled out of his room."Hey Dad. I made coffee." I said."Thank God. I have to get going so I can clean up the Den." Dad said as he poured coffee in a travel mug."It not in too bad of shape and the cleaners will get most of
POV FinnI froze when I saw Layla because she looked so good. I swear that she gets hotter every time I see her and the dress she was wearing was just the right amount of cute and sexy. I caught my breath and walked to her."You look wonderful. That dress is amazing on you" I said and kissed her."It's cool, Leo and I aren't standing RIGHT HERE." Marissa said sarcastically.I smiled and said, "You look lovely too, Marissa.""Thank you" She said with a grin."What about me?" Leo asked."What about you?" I shot back and we chuckled. The car pulled up then and I carried my bag and Layla's bag while Leo carried his and Marissa's down and put them in the trunk. We hopped in the car which was already full of our friends and left."Wow, you ladies look great!" Hart said and they smiled at him. He wasn't kidding Keri and Sally looked good too.We pulled up at Eve's house quickly and we grabbed our stuff and rang the doorbell. Eve opened the door a minute later."Wow, baby. You are beautiful."
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
POV Finn Trigger warning violence, abuse mention of rape Language. This story is about to get DARK for the next few chapters. Heads up.I watched Layla walk out to the hall to take Marissa's call. 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...
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
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
