Layla

We stare at each other for a while, him staring at me emotionlessly and I staring at him in pure shock.

My shock turns to anger as I see him healthy and perfectly fine.

"Where were you Landon." I say rather angrily.

He just stares at me observing my every move.

"Do you not know how worried I was ?" I tell him raising my voice now.

"It's been weeks Landon, and all I could think about was you." I exaggerate.

He just watches me as I continue to rant to him.

"How could you Landon?"

"One single text would of been perfectly fi-

I stop my sentence as he stands up and walks over to me, limping.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as he stands in front of me.

"Why are you walking like that?" I whisper out.

He lifts his shirt up and my eyes widen as I see the side of his ribs.

There was a white bandage over it, dried blood covered on the bandage too.

"Got shot." He says emotionlessly as he stares at me.

I gasp and instantly go over to him.

"Oh my god." I whisper as I inspect his wound.

"How?" I ask him as my fingers graze his chest.

He stares down at me blankly not saying a word.

All of a sudden I'm being pulled into his chest, his arms wrapped around me warmly as he holds my body in his.

I hesitantly wrap my arms around his neck lightly, not wanting to hurt him.

"Layla." He mumbles into my neck.

"Yeah?" I reply quietly.

"Hug me." He says pulling my body tighter against him.

"No. I don't want to hurt you." I tell him.

He scoffs and replies.

"Fuck that, I'm fine." He tells me.

I sigh and pull him to me.

His head rested on my shoulder as mine rested on his chest. 

We stayed like this for a while until I broke it.

I moved away from him and sat on the bed.

He watched me as I looked down at my hands and began playing with them.

I heard him sigh and walk over to the bed.

He sat down on the edge and ran a hand through his hair before turning to me.

"My phone broke." He says as he holds up a fresh new phone.

I stare at it and then go to him.

"Oh." That is all I say as I look back down at my hands.

It goes silent for a while before he breaks it.

"Layla, look at me." He demands as he moves closer to me.

I slowly move my eyes to his and I nearly forget why I was angry in the first place.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there today." He says taking my hand to his lips as he kisses it gently.

I stare at him and sigh leaning my head against his chest.

"Forgive me?" His deep voice says.

I stare up at him and feel myself giving.

"Yes." I say quietly and close my eyes.

He kisses my cheek and buried his head in the crook of my neck.

"I missed you so fucking much." His deep voice rumbles against my neck.

I laugh and run my hands through his hair.

"Feelings mutual." I say.

He looks up at me and grows a small smile on his lips.

I smile softly at that and kiss the small dimple forming on his cheek.

"Stay?" I ask him hopefully.

He nods in response and pecks my lips before sliding his shoes off and shrugging off his jacket.

I lay down in the bed and get under the covers, him doing the same.

I wrap my arms around his body being careful of his side in the process, as I lean my head against his chest.

His arms wrap around me bringing me closer to his body.

I smile against his chest and I feel myself slowly drifting off.

I woke up to me literally being wrapped around Landon.

I was currently on top of him as my arms held onto him tightly and my legs tangled with his.

I immediately get off and was about to walk away towards the bathroom but got pulled back by a strong arm being wrapped around my waist.

I yelp and get faced with Landons bare chest.

I look up at him to see his eyes closed but I knew he was awake.

I continue to gawk at him, observing his features before he opens his eyes making me close mine stupidly.

"You done?" His morning voice comes out hoarse and incredibly deep.

I continue to 'sleep' to hopefully convince him that I was.

That flew out the window as he rolled on top of me and hovered over me.

My eyes flew open as I stared at him in shock.

He looked down at me and smirked as his messy black hair fell onto his eyes.

He leaned down and started to place soft kisses against my neck.

He made his way up to my jaw and then to my cheek following to the corner of my lips.

His eyes made contact with mine for a second before he leant his head down to the crook of my neck and buried his head there.

I ran my hand up his back and the other through his hair.

He instantly relaxed at my touch and my heart flipped at the motion.

"I need to pee." I tell him.

He gets off of me swiftly and I go to the bathroom.

After finishing I brushed my teeth and made myself a bit less maniac looking.

I walked back out and saw Landon on his phone. 

He listened to the person on the other line speak until he replied with a simple 'Okay' before hanging up.

He stands up and walks over to me, I tilt my head up to look at him as he wraps his arm around my waist pulling me to him.

"Get ready, I'm taking you somewhere." Is all he says before he exits my room.

I just shrug and do as he says.

An hour later after getting ready, I realised Landon had gone back home and he came back just when I had finished.

He entered my house and leaned against the door frame as he waited for me

I grabbed my purse and phone before taking his hand in mine and walking out of the house

Landon opened the door for me as I slid into the car.

He got in on his side after and then began driving.

"Where are we going?" I ask him.

He smirks as he speeds through the roads.

"You'll see."
