Hey guys, OMG! I haven't updated on sooooooo long! Please don't shoot me for it! But look on the bright side, the suspense! I love leaving people hanging, it is so much fun! Warren and Layla are officially an unofficial couple... if that makes any sense at all... anyway, enjoy the latest chapter of Stitch my Heart up Please! Coming at you in 3... 2... 1...

He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. It felt like magic. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he placed his hands on my hips. He nibbled my bottom lip slightly, wanting to deepen this kiss further, so I let him. His tongue roamed my mouth and I moaned in pleasure. I moved my hand from his neck to under the front of his shirt, rubbing my hands up and down his abs. He stood up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He turned around and put my back against the wall and stopped kissing me. He placed his fore head on mine and smirked.

"I was thinking something along those lines."

I snickered and looked him in the eyes. "So while we are on this subject, care to share why YOU think Will was acting that way?"

He seemed to ponder the question for a moment before smirking again. "He was jealous because he just realised that he had just lost the most wonderful, beautiful girl in the entire school."

I laughed and leaned in again and pressed my lips to his again.

Chapter four: I'm not a freakin' trophy!

Layla's POV

I straightened my clothes and walked out of the classroom, Warren quick to follow. I walked towards the cafeteria and Warren walked alongside me. I bumped my hand into his and he grabbed onto it, lacing his fingers through mine. I gasped softly at the sudden temperature change but kept a hold of his hand all the same. This turned heads. We passed, they gasped and gossiped. I looked around and felt a little nervous, this had never happened before. Well, it sort of happened with Will, but not like this, not right in front of my face.

Warren squeezed my hand reassuringly and I smiled up at him. As long as Warren was with me, I would be fine. He led me through at cafeteria doors and to his empty table. I sat down beside him and soon enough Magenta, Zach and Ethan came and sat down with us. Magenta gazed at our hands and I blushed under her gaze and removed my hand from Warern's. She looked at me and smirked.

'Tell me everything' she mouthed when the boys weren't looking.

I nodded my head 'After school' I mouthed back. She nodded and started to eat her lunch. Looking around again, people were talking. Talking about me. They would look at me, whisper to their friends, maybe point if they were game enough and then go back to talking about whatever they were before I walked into the room. It took all my will power not to pull a disgruntled face and keep my cool composure. Magenta seemed to notice my tense atmosphere and tried to snap me out of it by adding me into the conversation.

"Hey Layla, did you get my text about shopping this afternoon?"

"Eh? Shopping... shopping... shopping... OH! THAT text! Yeah, it should be fine! I really need a night out with my best friend, get my mind off everything that has been happening lately and it's an excuse to update my wardrobe!"

Magenta smirked. "I knew you'd see it like that. So, where do you wanna meet up?"

"Ummm... how about my place? Like go home, ditch your stuff, get some cash and come over, then we can go."

She nodded. "Sounds good." Suddenly she dropped lower to the table and spoke in a hushed whisper, "Hey are you ok? You seem kinda... no scratch that, you seem out of it all together, like nothing we say can be heard."

I started to nod my head but there's no point in lying to Magenta so my shoulders quickly slumped and I looked at her with guilt. "Quite frankly Magenta I don't know."

"Wanna talk about it?"

I glanced at Warren and then back at Magenta. "Later."

She nodded accepting that answer.

Suddenly that cafeteria went silent, or at least as silent as a packed to the brim cafeteria gets. I followed everyone's gaze and saw they all landed on someone standing in the cafeteria doorway. That person being Will Stronghold. He looked around the cafeteria and then found the person he was looking for. People followed his gaze this time and they all stared at me and Warren. Will, by this time, had started to cross the floor to get to us and the tension in the air was pretty much screaming FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

When Will reached us he stood with his side to the exit, the rage and intensity in his eyes was almost too much to bear. Warren didn't seem to think so though and smirked. I could see that Will was visibly trying to control his temper, for my sake probably.

"Look Peace, I've just got one thing to say to you before I go."

Warren was still smirking. "And what would that be Stronghold?"

"She's my best friend Warren, and I WILL fight for her heart, no matter what you think."

"That it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Well your fight won't be necessary Stronghold because she's MINE, you lost your chance."

At that remark, I stood up, away from Warren and next to Will. "I'm not a freakin' trophy Warren! Not something you can claim as a prize for whatever game you two are playing! I'm a PERSON! With FEELINGS! And Will's right, he's my best friend, so if you're going to act that way, I would rather be with Will." I knew my words stung him but they had to be said.

I shook my head and headed for the exit to the cafeteria. When Will thought I was out ear-shot though, he said something that would make me snap.

"Never said I wouldn't fight dirty."

I wheeled back around and slapped Will across the face. It probably hurt me more than it did him but it was the dramatic effect I was looking for.

"I'm not a pawn either. Play your game, fight your fight, but don't involve me in the process that goes for both of you."

Most of the cafeteria stared at me wide eyed but I didn't care, I said what I had to say and now I was leaving. After I walked out of the cafeteria, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Magenta walking alongside me.

"Layla, you have been hanging with me way too much. I think we should take up yoga!" She joked.

"Mmm, oh yeah, we totally should!" I laughed, playing along with the joke.

She laughed and then her face got serious. "No, but seriously Layla, it's good to know you finally developed some spine!"

"It's all thanks to you Magenta!"

"Hey, don't blame this on me!"

I laughed and then sighed. "I seriously need to go shopping..."

"Yeah, you do."

Blarg... *pulls face* I'm so sorry for not updating sooner but I had writer's block. It sucks, I know. It's ok, you can flame it, I don't mind. They are all too OOC but it doesn't matter, what's done is done. Anyway, onto lighter topics, I made sure that this was up for Christmas and here it is, on Christmas Eve. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Hope you have a great day and that maybe you can take some time to review this piece of crap. Ok, maybe it's not crap but I still think I could have done better keeping them to character.

Sorry guys, but I had to put a little drama in and the best way seemed to be Will declaring that he wouldn't give up on winning Layla's heart. I was going to make it so the score (kindly kept by firesspawn) was Warren-3 Will-1 but I couldn't resist the opportunity to slap Will across the face so now I think it's Warren-4 Will-1, correct me if I'm wrong! :D
