So you won't be back tonight?" Layla sniffed over the other line to her mum.
"No, sorry sweetie. But I'll be back tomorrow after school." Layla's mum said. "Is everything alright, you seem a little down?"
"Yeah, am just not feeling well thats all."
"Mike isn't annoying you, is he?" Layla's mum said in a joking manor.
"Nope, he's been perfect, just perfect." Layla said rolling her eyes.
"Ok, well I have to go pumpkin, see you tomorrow."
"Bye." Layla said as she brought her phone from her ear and placed it down on the table. She brought her knees to her face as she sat on her cream coloured sofa just reliving today. She was still upset, but no tears came down her face. She finished them all up at school. The pain was still there. Feeling betrayed was the worse part. She felt like it was her fault for letting this happen. She felt she should of never fallen for Phil. She didn't plan to, it just happened. Like it was meant to be. Was it meant to be? Layla thought as she stared into space. Her thoughts faded away as she heard a key twist in the lock. She looked over her shoulder to see Mike, Eve with Kelly and Phil trailing behind enter the house.
"Did you see her face, priceless." Eve said laughing histrionically.
"Right Eve, it's not funny anymore." Mike said closing the door.
"It wasn't funny in the first place." Layla said standing up facing the group. Once Phil heard her voice, his eyes trailed up to the brunette with her sparkling chestnut eyes.
"Well, seeing your little face all tear up was the highlight of my year." Eve said smirking widely.
"Well I found it funny when Phil dumped you, on your birthday." Layla said smirking straight back. Then room grew quiet as everybody tried to hold in the laugher that built up. Layla took a slight glimpse at Phil to see his smile peek through his sad face. Layla hated what he done to her, but she would be lying if she said she didn't have feelings for him. Layla climbed her why over the couch and up the stairs as she wanted to be alone with her thoughts.
"Mind if I join you?" Kelly said peering in Layla's doorway.
"Um, yeah sure. Take a seat." Layla said leaving space for Kelly for her to sit. Layla was a little confused of why Kelly, her old bestfriend wanted to talk to her but she didn't mind the fact she wanted to.
Kelly plot next to Layla smiling just ever so slightly. "Are you ok?" Kelly said placing one arm around Layla's shoulder.
"Well, am still upset but am morally angry at myself for being so stupid. I even told him he wasn't my type and I still end up falling for him." Layla shrugged.
"Hey, love is a weird thing. Some things are meant to been and others aren't."
"Yeah I guess. Do you think it was meant to be for me and Phil?" Layla asked looking over at Kelly.
"In a way yeah. I mean despite today, I actually think he has feelings for you. But if you have feelings for him. Don't let him off that easily." Kelly said winking at Layla. Layla smiled as she hugged her old friend. It was weird but it started to feel normal again. "Maybe you should talk to him, see his side of the story." Kelly suggested. Layla nodded as Kelly got up from her seat and left the room. Layla thought about it. She wanted to see why Phil would do that to her and as he really worth crying over. Layla wasn't ashamed that she went out with him, even though she promised herself she wouldn't. It was nice getting to know him but she wasn't sure if that was the real him. Was he just pretending to be someone else all this time? Layla thought enough about it and decided to find out from the guy himself. She stood up from where she was seated and took in a deep breath as she made her way to the staircase.
Layla looked over the living room to see Mike trying to explain himself as Kelly ignored and continued to watch TV. Her eyes then trailed over to the other sofa to see Eve cuddling up to Phil as he done nothing. He had his arms crossed over his chest and ignored Eve. His eyes lit up as he heard a whisper of his name come from the staircase. He looked up to see Layla staring right back at him with her big brown eyes. she signalled him to come upstairs as she took one or two back up the way. Phil nodded as he got of the sofa and followed Layla up the stairs, without saying a word to anyone. He followed Layla into her bedroom and took a seat next to her on the bed.
"Why?" Layla whispered as made no eye contact with him. She could feel his cold green eyes stare at hers. She knew is she looked at him, her tears would start again and wasn't up for crying again.
"Well, at the start I thought why not it might be funny. But then i got too send time with you so I didn't want it to end. I then started to realise that if I kept this up, it wasn't going to end up well for the both of us. So I planning to end it today, but am too late." Phil sighed.
"See thats the thing Phil, I don't know if I believe that you were going to end it today. You being the school player doesn't help either." Layla said now looking at him.
"I know am known for this kinda thing but Layla, your different. Your the first girl I asked to be my girlfriend. Doesn't that say something?" Phil said moving in a little closer to Layla. "Do you still have feelings for me?"
Layla nodded her head as she felt tears forming again. As much as she wanted to say no, she couldn't help but feel something for Phil.
"Well all am asking is for you to give me one more chance, so I can show you that I do truly have feelings for you. my popularity wont get in the way. Please give me one more chance." Phil said lifting up Layla's chin.
"No. am not letting you go that easily. I still don't trust you Phil. And I don't no of I ever will. Despite my feelings towards you, no." Layla said moving her head away. She felt Phil's long, deep sighed against her skin. He got up from the bed and left the room. Layla watched him leave as a few tears trickled down her cheeks. What did he expect her to do? Kiss him and forget it even happened. Layla thought. She laid down on her bed she tried to forget about today. It didn't work so well as Phil still wandered her mind.
