LEIGH’s POV I knew that my mind was already awake but I still kept closing my eyes… I don’t know how many minutes or how long I had been lying here and still hadn't gotten up. I wish it was all a dream... I wish it was just a dream that I was here at Wayne's house, but it appears that I'm just kidding myself since I can still feel the softness of the bed I'm resting on now, and it's soothing. I don't have a bed like this in my house because it's just a simple pallet, therefore it's confirmed: I'm at Wayne's house right now.

"I am fine, I just need to lay down." Lisa did not stop her with more questions but let Layla walk away. Reaching her room, Layla went straight to bed, laid down on her comforting blanket, and closed her eyes. Her breathing slowed as she wondered why she was so worked up. She allowed herself to drift off into a restless sleep. She kept tossing and turning, unwilling to get up just yet. Eventually, she stood up, went to her bathroom, splashed water on her face, and retreated to her safe haven. LAYLA’S POV
