As soon as math was over, I pack up my stuff and walk out.

"Hold up, where are you going?" Nick ask

"Walking home duh. " I reply. Where else would I be going?

"Why are you mad at me?" he ask quickly grabbing​ my wrist to look. I look at him with narrowed eyes. What's up with him?

"Don't grab me like that! " I shout at him. I yanked my wrist back and cradled it on my chest. "What do you mean mad at you?" Oh no, please don't let an attack come along, please. I quickly signed Nick to follow me outside. My hands began to shake, my heart beating faster.

"Are you okay, Layla? " he ask gently grabbing my hand. I quickly yank it back.

"Let go of me, don't touch me! Leave me alone!" I yell backing up into a wall. My hair plastered on my forehead with a thin layer of sweat. My head was spinning, and images of my not very pleasant childhood began playing in my head. Fuck. Nicks trying to clam me down only made it worse. "Stop, just Stop It! " I shout shoving him away.

I know the whole parking lot is just staring at us like we are crazy, but who can blame them. They probably don't know what's happening. Through my teary eyes I see someone push Nick aside.

"Move man, you making it worse!" Martin yelled at him. He knew what was going on because I told him everything that use to happen when we were dating. My attacks were very sensitive back then, and Martin knew how to handle them. "Layla, it's okay it's me, Martin, it's okay now I'm here." he says in a soft calming voice.

" Please, I-I'm sorry s-sir..." I sob out. I slide my back down the wall, onto the floor.

"Shh... Layla it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." Martin says slowing sitting next to me. I know I'm supposed to hate Martin, but I can't think straight right now. He gently lifts me up onto his lap and cradles me there.

"M-martin? " I ask with a blurred head.

"Yes." he replies in a low voice.

"Can you please take me home to my dad's? " I say putting my head on his arm.

"Okay. " he says.

...

When we got to my house, my dad took me, and Martin left. My dad doesn't really like Martin because he played me, but he can't really hate him because he helped me in the past as well. I took my pills and inhaler, yet I still felt weird. But it wasn't because of the attack that happened about four hours ago, it was because Nick still hasn't came back.

I felt bad for just yelling at him and pushing him away. Along with that he thought I was mad at him before, and I don't even know why, or what I did to make him think that. I shook my head clearing my mind, and head to the bathroom.

I walk into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror and cringed. I still had mascara smeared on my face from crying earlier, and my red lipstick was smudged. I slipped out my clothes deciding to take a shower, and brushed out my hair. Once the water was warm enough I hopped in. After I washed myself, I got out. Fuck'n shit, I didn't bring any clothes or towels. There's no way on earth I'm running out naked. I open a couple of cabinets, and thankfully found towels. These will have to do, they're better than nothing. I wrapped a towel around my body and hair, then threw my dirty clothes in the dirty-clothes-basket. I open the door and sprinted out of the bathroom, but as soon as I took a couple of steps, I flew back onto the floor.

"Ouch. " I say securing the towel around me again.

"Sorry. " Nick say with his hand out to help me. I look at him and feel my cheeks heat up. This is so embarrassing, here I am on the floor in nothing but a towel.

"No it's okay, I bumped into you." I said getting up myself.

I stood there waiting for him to move, but he just stood there looking at me. He didn't even try to hide the fact that he was checking me out. He eyes scared me up and down. He licked his bottom lip and looked at me. He eyes full with lust, perv. I turn around and walk around him into my room.

I quickly got dress and threw myself on top of my bed. I grab my phone and went to Walk-or-Talk. I don't even know what to say about today's blog. The cover was of me kissing Nick on the cheek. It's caption is " Couple of the Unknown.". I just roll my eyes. The next picture is of Nick blowing off Jackie. The caption says " Back off Princess He's Taken". I laugh. Oh little do they know it's just for show, little do they know what's heading their way.

" Hey Layla can you come down here please?! " he dad calls from down stairs.

I climb down stairs, and look at my dad. " What's up? " I ask.

"I'm going to be gone for a while because I have go to the bookstore, so here's some money for groceries. Please go to the store with this list and get them for me." he say handing me the list and money then walks out the door.

But I don't have a car, and I will not be able to carry all of these items. I shake my head and sigh. I shove the money, list, and my phone into my purse, and go upstairs. I knock on Nick's door and wait for a response.

"Come in!" he calls out.

I open the door and walk in. I'm surprised, to be honest I expected his room to be pretty messy, but it's actually quite organized. He has plain white walls, a navy blue bed set, and white carpet with a navy blue rug on the floor. He's at his computer desk working on some essay. I wave to get his attention, but he isn't looking at me. Oh god I hope he's not mad at me for earlier today.

"Hey Nick, can you please give me a ride to the grocery store?" I ask. He jumps at my voice, and turns to face me. I smile and he returns it.

"Yeah sure that's what boyfriends are for." he smirks.

I roll my eyes. "Fake boyfriends" I correct.

" Eh whatever you say, but yeah let me just get my keys. " he says.

We walk down stairs, out the door, and into the car. Off to the store went. At first it was silent, but there he broke it first.

"So... Can I ask you something?" he ask.

"Sure. " I say look at my hands. Scars on my wrist and palms slightly shiny. I cringe when I remember how I got them. The not so got old days, but yet here I am still alive.

"What happened today after school?" he ask in a low voice as if afraid to trigger me.

I sigh. " It was just a panic attack, They come and go. " I say trying not to make it seem like a big deal.

He looks at me with sad expression on his face. " I'm ... Sorry. "

"Ugh I hate it when people feel sorry for me. This is exactly why I keep everything to myself. I don't need your sympathy." I say throwing my head onto my palms.

Nick just sits there completely silent. I look at him from the corner of my eyes. He looks straight at the road. His fist white from holding the wheel too tight. I sigh and sit up to look at him.

" Hey Nick, I'm sorry I snapped on you today. I-I'm ... I don't know, I guess I shouldn't have been such a bitch." I say clasping my hands in front of me.

He makes a turn into the lot and parks next to the market. He gets out the car and closes the door without saying a word. Oh great the silent treatment, I guess I deserve it. I ran my hands through my hair and throw my head back. Then suddenly I hear my door open. Nick looks at me with a small smile.

"It's okay." he says holding open my door. I smile and jump out the car to hug him.

"Thank you. I'm truly sorry." I say pulling away from him.

"I'll forgive you on one condition." he says gently tilting my head up to look him in the eyes. He leans down to my eye level, our faces very close.

"And what's that?" I ask even if I have a slight idea.

"A kiss. " he replies. His minty breath breezes across my face.

Pause! Most girls in my situation will be weak in the knees, heart beating fast, wanting a relationship, kiss, him.... But me I don't think so. If he thinks I'm going to kiss in the lips he's crazy. This little charms don't work on me, nope. I've dated enough boys to be charm proof. But if he's playing the charm game, I'm in. I bet I could make him fall, of course I'll let him down easy. In my defense he starting it. Okay go.

"How about something different ." I say seductively putting my arms around his neck. He smirks." Something a little more fun." I add bitting my bottom lip.

" What's that?" he whispers in my ear.

"Racing to the store doors!" with that I run towards the doors.
