POV FinnI woke up to see Layla sleeping on my chest and smiled. I was going to get up and make her breakfast but I wanted to cuddle with her for a few minutes. As I snuggled in, I heard someone pounding on my front door. I sighed and slipped out from under her. I threw on a white tank and walked to the door. I looked out the peep hole and groaned."What do you want, Leo?" I said as I opened the door and quickly stepped outside. I shut the door behind me so we wouldn't wake Layla. I looked behind Leo to see Jake and Vander. Great, just great. This was going to be a mess."I want my sister, you ass." Leo snarled"She's sleeping. I'll let her know that you stopped by." I replied"Did you take advantage of her?!! She was drunk last night and upset. You sure used that excuse to get her alone" Vander yelled and I realized that they were all still a bit drunk."It's none of any of your business what we did but I would never treat Layla like that. You all know me. You know that I wouldn't do
POV LaylaOur food came out then and the waitress took Eve, Hart and Tom's order. She must have put a rush on theirs because it came out just a few minutes later. We all ate and talked. I told them what I decided and added Keri's suggestion of changing my number."That sounds like a good plan" Hart said and Eve and Tom nodded."When are you going to talk to them?" Eve asked"Do you think that I could talk to Luke this afternoon?" I asked Finn and he nodded"He should be at the office. I can call him and set up a time, if you want?" he offered"Please?" I asked"Can we come with you? For support?" Keri asked and everyone else noddedI smiled. "Sure. If you want to" I shyly replied"Of course we do. We care about you and want to help" Sally stated."Thanks" I whispered, tearing up a bit. Finn put his arm around me and I put my head on his shoulder. Eve smiled at me and then changed the subject to the dance and the trip this weekend."I'm going to go call my Dad, ok?" Finn whispered to m
POV Leo Trigger talk of abuseAs we walked back to the office, I watched Layla. The truth was, I felt terrible about the way I acted last night and this morning. I knew that it was wrong but I was so scared for her. We all sat down and I noticed that Finn and Layla were holding hands. It also scared me how much he had become part of her life so quickly. I didn't want her to lose herself in this relationship especially since she was going through so much. I had already seen that happen not just with Tate but when we were younger too. I knew that Finn was a decent guy but I didn't trust him with my sister. I didn't trust anyone with her now. Not after her last two relationships."Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Dad asked"Well, Layla and some of her friends came to me today with an issue and asked for some assistance. I want to be very clear that we aren't going to do anything that Layla doesn't want us to, does everyone agree to that?" Luke askedEveryone but Jake, Vander
POV FinnThe next morning I awoke confused and with a pounding headache. I opened my eyes to see that I was still in Layla's entertainment room on one of the couches. I looked around and saw Leo sleeping on the other couch and Vander, Jake and Tom passed out on the floor. I groaned as I sat up. Leo must have heard me because he sat up as well."What the hell happened last night?" I asked. Leo turned to look at me and I started laughing which just hurt my head."Arrrggh. Why are you so loud?" Vander complained. I looked at him and laughed again."Why do you guys have makeup all over your faces?" I asked"What!?" Leo asked. Then he looked at me and laughed"So do you" he said to me."It was the girls and Hart. They kept giving us shots, remember? They set us up." Jake said without opening his eyes.Suddenly I started to remember. Layla kept bringing me shots to drink. She would sit on my lap and offer them to me. How could I refuse? I groaned. Then I remembered playing truth or dare exc
POV FinnI opened the car door for Layla and offered her my hand. I almost fell over when she stepped out. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I was speechless"Woah" was all I could manage to say. She smirked at me."Holy crap, La. You look amazing" Leo saidBear walked up to her and hugged her. "You look wonderful" he whispered as they separated.Layla was wearing a white dress that looked like it was made for her. She looked ethereal."You are so beautiful, Lays. You look like an angel." I said when I finally found my voice.I went back to the table to get our flowers. I put hers on her wrist and she helped me pin mine on."I love them" she said when she saw them."Ok. I need some pictures. I promised Luke I get some" Bear said."Speak of the devil" I said just as my dad pulled up on his bike. He came over to us and smiled."Wow. Just wow. You look stunning, Layla." he said. He looked at me and said, "You don't look too bad either, son""Gee thanks" I said sarcastica
POV LaylaI fell asleep on our way to the lake house. Most of us did. I awoke as to the sound of the car stopping. I opened my eyes and looked out the window to see a beautiful, big, brightly lit house. "We're here" Eve said and I watched as everyone else but Tom and Jake woke up. Tom was already awake and Jake didn't seem to want to wake up. Vander finally shook him awake. "How are we doing rooms?" Keri asked "That's up to you all?" Eve answered "Layla and I can stay together." Leo volunteered and I frowned. Eve and Finn both saw it and smirked. "Oh, no. Layla and I are rooming together" Eve stated "Yeah, Leo. You and I can share a room" Finn piped in and I shot both of them grateful looks. Leo shrugged and said, "Fine". We all walked into the house and paired up. "Ok, we have five rooms. One has two twin beds and the rest have one king size bed. There are three rooms upstairs and two downstairs." Eve explained "I don't mind sharing a bed with you" I said to Eve and she nodd
POV LaylaEve and I quickly changed into our swimsuits. I put my hair up and put on my sunglasses. We each grabbed a stack of towels out of the hall closet. I took too many and couldn't see over them. Of course, I tried to take them down the stairs anyway. I started to trip when I felt strong hands on my waist, steadying me. "What are you trying to do?" Finn asked with a laugh. He took the towels from me and we walked down together. "Thanks" I said and he nodded. He had on red swim trunks and sunglasses. I couldn't help but check out his chiseled chest. "Nice suit" he said, staring. I blushed and he grinned. We walked out to the beach. Eve, Hart and Tom were already there. We put down a couple blankets and set the towels on them. It was a beautiful day but there weren't many people on the beach. I slipped my sandals off and got my feet wet. The lake felt cold and I shivered. Finn walked up next to me. "Let' s take a walk and check out the beach" he suggested and I nodded. He put h
POV LaylaWhen we got back to the house, we went to our rooms to change. Eve and I changed and were just about to start with our hair and makeup when we had a knock on our door. I opened the door to see Sally and Keri standing there in their dresses with makeup bags. "We thought it would be more fun to get ready together." Keri explained and I invited them in. "Great idea! You both look gorgeous by the way" Eve said and I agreed with her. "Thanks. So do you two!" Sally replied. We helped each other with our makeup and hair and we were soon done. I put on my earrings from Leo and Dad and adjusted my new necklace from Finn and I was set. We could hear all the guys in the tv room already as we came down the stairs. We entered the room together and the boys immediately went silent. "Wow. You ladies look incredible" Tom said and the rest of the guys nodded. We smiled. "Thanks" Eve replied and Leo stepped up to her and offered her his arm. Finn did the same for me. I saw Keri and Sally
