Safe The Other Date
POV Layla"That you tell everyone that you're mine" Finn said with a smirk. I am both equal parts annoyed and turned on. Luckily my annoyed side won."No way. We've already discussed this" I said"Fine. I'll just tell everyone that anyway" he said smugly"We both know that it's true" he added and I glared at him"Do we?" I asked "Didn't you just see me kiss someone else last night?"He growled, "I wouldn't bring that up right now if I were you.""Why not?" I asked innocently"Because I'm trying real hard to be calm not be an asshole right now but if you keep pushing I'll..." he trailed off.I snapped, "You'll what? Hit me? Push me? Force me to be with you? What?!" I yelled at him standing up.He looked shocked. "No! Of course not, I just meant that I might say something mean or at most hit any guy who looks at you for the next week or so." He gently gathered me close and I began to cry."I would never harm you, Lays. No matter what. You're safe with me. I promise." he whispered to me
Safe Wednesday
POV LaylaI smiled when I woke up and saw Eve sleeping peacefully next to me. I carefully crawled out of bed and grabbed my clothes so I wouldn't wake her. As I showered and dressed, I thought of last night. Eve and I had fun after we got to my room. We talked about school and cheerleading. I checked my phone and ignored the large amount of texts and calls from Tate. Right as I was looking at it, I got a text from Finn. I responded and Eve smiled at me."Let me guess, Finn? Or Vander?" She guessed"Finn" I responded"Of course. So are you settled on him then?" She asked"Maybe. I like them both but Vander is too safe and comfortable. Finn is exciting and sweet and thoughtful and kind." I said and Eve laughed"Have you told them?" Eve inquired"Not yet. I was going to try to talk to Finn tomorrow but I'm not going to tell Vander for a bit. I'm still a little gun shy about a relationship" I explainedEve nodded, "That's smart." We crawled into bed and chatted until we fell asleep.I dre
Safe The Meeting
POV LaylaSally showed me around quickly. Luckily it was fairly easy. "Just handle the beer and shot customers. If someone wants something mixed, yell for me. The beers are all $4 and shots are the same and the cash registers fairly easy. If they want to start a tab, they need to leave a credit card, unless it's Finn or Luke. Just take it and attach it to a paper and tally what they buy on the paper. For Luke or Finn, we just write it down so we can keep inventory on it. We aren't serving food tonight so we won't have to worry about that. We divide tips evenly so they all go in the jar by the register. Here's an apron and a bottle opener, which you will end up using about a million times tonight. Just throw any empty bottles in the recycling and glasses in the dirty tub. Clean up any spills and wipe down the bar when you can. Don't let these guys rattle you and take it slow, they can wait. Any questions?" Sally said. I shook my head. "I think I've got it. I hope so, anyways." I said
Safe AfterParty
POV FinnThe bar cleared out soon after that leaving only Sally, Keri, Dad, Layla and I. We did the dishes and wiped down the tables and the bar quickly."We made bank in tips tonight" Sally said as she handed Layla and I a stack of cash. I counted mine and quickly gave half back to her to split with Lays."I only worked half the night" I explained and Sally divided the cash up with Layla and handed it to her.Layla smiled at me with a strange look on her face. Dad came and sat down with us at the bar."I can't believe that we didn't have one single fight tonight. That's never happened on a meeting night" Dad said as he looked at Sally and Layla."If you don't mind, Layla, I'd love to have you here for every meeting night" he added and she nodded. I smiled as I realized that she was the reason we didn't have any fights. She was great at defusing tension yet she never seemed to betray herself or back down."I'd like to give each of you a bonus for working so hard tonight" Dad said as h
Safe Thursday
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
Safe The Truth
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
Safe Decision
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
Safe Friday
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
