POV LaylaAfter we greeted the boys, we went over to sit and order breakfast."That was embarrassing." Eve said and Keri nodded. I shrugged and Sally rolled her eyes while Hart smiled.As we ate, we talked and joked. I stopped eating remembering all the junk food I had last night but then Leo glared at me and I realized that he was right and I needed to eat. After they left, we relaxed and talked for a while longer."We better get going." Hart said and we went to pay but the cashier waved us away."Luke already paid for you too." he said."That was sweet of him." Eve said"We'll have to thank him later." I said and everyone nodded as we got into the car."Since Hart and Keri live near me, we're going to drop off Layla and then Sally first, ok?" Eve asked and we agreed. We pulled up in front of my house just a few minutes later."Thanks Eve! I had so much fun!" I said as I hugged everyone goodbye. I grabbed my stuff out of the trunk and waved as I went inside my house just as it began

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 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 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 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
