POV LaylaAfter we pulled up to school, Eve and I quickly handed out the rest of the lunches. All our friends were touched. It was sweet how such a little thing made everyone so happy. We were all in a good mood when we sat in the lounge and hung out."I'm excited about the dance tonight. Daddy got us a stretch limo so we can all drive together comfortably." Eve informed us."I'm excited too. Can Keri and I go with you to get our hair and nails done?" Sally asked. Eve looked surprised."Really? Sure! I'll call right now and book you both appointments!" Eve replied, happily. She grabbed her phone and walked out to the hall. I smiled at Sally. I knew that she hated getting her hair and nails done and that Keri was so particular that she didn't like anyone other than her normal hair dresser and nail tech. I also knew that they knew how much this meant to Eve and they wanted to make her happy."That was really nice of you two" I said to them. Keri shrugged and Sally grinned at me."She de
POV FinnI was lonely during the next hour without Layla so I decided to do what she suggested and I went to the library to study for my last test. Time dragged slowly but finally the period was over and I could go to my last class. I finished my test quickly and my teacher let me leave after I was done. I hurried out to my locker and ran into Peter. "All done with your test?" I guessed and he nodded. "Me too. Want to come with me to the Diner?" I offered, hoping that's where Sally and Layla went. "Sure!" he said and we hurried out. I was disappointed not to see the girls in a booth when we got there. We sat down and Donna the Waitress came over to take our order. "Has Sally and Layla been in today?" I asked after we ordered. "I haven't seen them." She responded and then hurried off to get our order. We got our food quickly. "Are you excited about our trip?" I asked Peter. He shrugged. "I'm not sure if I'm going to go." he said between a mouthful of burger. I looked at him in s
POV LaylaI giggled at Finn's pout as we walked down the stairs. "There they are. Finally." Jake called out as we walked into the entertainment room. "Sorry. My hair and makeup took longer than I thought" I replied. "Yeah, right" Eve smiled, knowingly. "What do you want to drink?" Van called from the bar. "Just a water, please" I called back. "Same for me" Finn yelled. Van tossed two bottles at us which thankfully, Finn caught. We sat on one of the big couches with Tom and Hart at the other end. "What are we watching?" I asked. "That's what we were just fighting about. Eve, Keri and Hart want a rom com and the rest of us want horror." Van explained as he sat in one of the armchairs. Eve handed me a bowl one of the many bowls of popcorn from the cart in the corner. "Thanks" I said to her. "Well, I would prefer horror but it is Eve's house so I think that she should choose" I added. Eve grinned at me. "You are my favorite, Lay." Eve responded as everyone else aside from Keri
POV LaylaSally and I had a great time hanging at my house. Leo and Eve weren't home so it was just the two of us. We ate junk food and just talked about everything. It was so relaxing. Sadly we only had a little time."I'm going to take a quick shower. Do you want one too?" I offered and Sally nodded. I took a five minute shower and then dried my hair as Sally took her shower."What should I wear? Just jeans?" I asked Sally after helping her dry her hair."I would dress up a bit more than that. Everyone's going to be there tonight and you'll meet new people. It's going to be busy since Christmas is Friday, everyone is on break and looking to cut loose." Sally explained."Who would be new that I haven' t met?" I asked confused."All the college kids and all the people who moved away that are back to visit." Sally replied."I didn't realize that. Crap. I was hoping for an easy night." I responded and she smiled, sympathetically."Wear that new tight black dress that Hart bought you." S
POV FinnI woke up naked in my bed with Layla. I smiled down at her. I loved watching her sleeping. I knew it was creepy but whatever."Stop staring, it's weird." Layla mumbled with her eyes still closed. I tickled her and she laughed."Don't! I have to pee!" She yelled and hurried to the bathroom."What time is it?" she asked as she walked back. I admired her and she blushed."Its a little after 7." I answered."Shit. I better get back to my house before anyone notices we're gone." she replied, grabbing her clothes. Suddenly, there was a pounding at my front door."Too late" I responded with a smile. I threw on a pair of boxers and went to answer the door, kissing her as I walked past. I opened the door to Leo and Jake glaring at me and Eve grinning."What?" I sighed."Where's my sister and why don't you have any clothes on?" Leo demanded."Lays is in my room and when two people love each other very much..." I began but Leo cut me off."Shut up." Leo growled and I smirked."Can you l
POV Layla"It's obvious that you all got in a fight so who's going to tell me the truth?" I insisted. Hart, Eve and Keri's eyes widened and then they glared at the others."After you all called us last night, we got bored so we decided to go to the Den." Finn began, sheepishly. I nodded and gestured for him to continue but he stopped and looked down."So we drank too much and Vic, David and his crew were there and they were really drunk." Tom continued. I sighed and closed my eyes. I could see where this was going."So Vic started talking about you. He was saying that you were too good for Finn and that we didn't deserve to be your friends. That you shouldn't be in the Watchmen. You were too sweet to be one of us. So David started yelling at him and all hell broke out. We tried to stop David's crew but they wanted to kill him. We all kinda got injured trying to stop them." Sally explained. My eyes flew open and I let out the breath I was holding."So... you were trying to stop the fig
POV LaylaI woke up early the next day feeling well rested. Since we were off school and Dad was off until Christmas, I was the first one up. I put on jeans and a long sleeved shirt and then packed a bag for the gym quietly. I ate a banana while I made toast. I ate toast with peanut butter and drank some oj. Then I put on my coat and grabbed my bag as I went out the door. I jumped on my bike and quickly reached the gym."Hey, Layla!" Vander called as I walked in. He was always early for workout days. He already had his sweats on and was started to warm up. I waved at him and hurried to the locker room to change. I put on my gym bra and yoga pants. I threw my hair up into a pony tail and threw everything in my locker as I pulled out my boxing equipment that I kept here. I went out and started warming up with Van. I knew that Jake would be late because he's Jake and almost always late. It's just who he is. We had the gym all to ourselves. I loved when that happened."Want to spar for a
POV LaylaWe pulled up at the house and quickly sorted through the bags."Just leave whatever Jake and I bought here and we'll take it home to wrap." Van requested. He and Jake grabbed my bags, leaving me with the purple monkey. I juggled it up to my door and Vander opened it and let me go first."What the hell is that?!" Leo shouted at the sight of the monkey. I looked to see Peter, Finn, Tom, Hart, Keri, Eve, Sally, Leo, Luke and Dad in the living room all staring at the monkey."We won it for Layla." Jake said proudly. I blushed while everyone cracked up. I rolled my eyes and took my bags and the monkey to my room. I put everything away and put the monkey on my bed. I frowned when I realized that it took up over half my bed. I shook my head at it and walked back out into the hallway."I missed you." I heard a familiar voice say as Finn wrapped his arms around my waist. I turned and kissed him."I missed you too." I replied and he smiled."How did the boys win that monkey for you?"
