Hello readers and/or writers of Sky High fanfiction. I originally wasn't going to write any Sky High fanfiction, but I went on fanfiction to find some Will/Layla fics, and was very unsuccessful. Apparently I'm one of the very few people who like that paring. I got sick of scrolling through pages of Warren fanfictions (because for some reason people here can't get enough of him) and decided to add to the tiny one story category that is Will/Layla.
Now that I have gotten that out of my system, a few things you should know before you read this fanfiction.
1. There are bound to be errors- both with spelling and grammar and with the accuracy of the events within the movie. I've seen it a few time, but only once in the past three years. It may cause me to forget some things.
2. It is a one-shot.
3. It starts with Will's POV when Warren talks to him in the Paper Lantern, and
then skips forward and changes POV.
4. According to my lawyer, I own neither Sky High or any of it's characters.
"She's totally into you."
What? Layla is 'into me'? I froze for a minute as my head began to spin. It replayed all the times I had been such a jerk to her. Each one of them stung. She has always been such an amazing friend. Why did I not see it? Why did I let myself hurt her like that? One thing is for sure, she can't like me anymore. The weird thing is, suddenly that mattered to me. If you had a friend who liked you as more than a friend, wouldn't that be awkward? Wouldn't you want them to get over you and move on? I strongly wanted her to like me, to love me, and mourned the loss of it. Why?

(Layla POV)
My phone has been ringing perpetually for awhile now, but I choose to ignore it, and its constant ringing only added to my headache. I had gotten into bed a little bit ago, trying to fall asleep with my clothes on and then wake up to an alternate reality. The reality I wanted so bad my chest ached when I thought of it. A reality where Will did not have a party without me. A reality where Gwen wasn't the first one who talked to me there or better yet, Gwen did not exist. A reality where Will went to Homecoming with me, and realized that he loved me. Unfortunately, it wasn't working so well. It's not like Will to blow me off like that, but then again Will hasn't been the same since he met Gwen.

Homecoming was, um, interesting. So was the fact that I couldn't see Will anywhere, even though his parents had just entered the room, and Gwen was on stage. Warren was nice, but going to the dance with him felt wrong. I glanced around, trying to find Warren, as I had left him to get some more punch. He's been acting strange all night, like he has something to tell me, but can't tell it to me around all of these people. It reminded me of the twenty messages left on my phone, all of them from Will.

So Gwen was Royal Pain. Somehow that gave me an odd feeling of satisfaction, even as we ran out in to the hallway in search of help. The person we found was definitely the person I most wanted to see. Will.

As Will was thrown out the window, I felt something in me die. He had just kissed me, he loves me. Why does that need to be taken away from me now? We had so little time to be together, not enough time to be together. Why did it have to end like this? Why couldn't we have had a happy ending? After all of the struggle, I felt I deserved one, and yet it was stolen away from me. Because I would never love anyone but Will, and there would never be another Will.
