"Ha ha I killed you all!" I cheer, laughing hysterically.

"Doesn't really count when you've confiscated all our controllers." Curly boy states, humorously who's name turns out to be Jimmie.

"Yeah because you guys already reached your winning limit, I haven't won any yet." I continue to push at the stick things on my controller, moving my character around the dead bodies.

"It seems like your character has some walking impairment."

"Shut up, Matt." I roll my eyes, as the other boys begin to chuckle.

"AAAAAAAGH!" I scream when a zombie pops up in front me, quickly swirling my character around and making a run for it.

"Why you running? you pussy." Matt snorts with laughter.

"Leave me alone!" I shriek at the TV, when I see the green monster following me.

"Matt do something!" I shove the controller at him, his hand reaches out, but he misses as it hits the ground.

"GRAB IT!"

But it's too late, the zombie had already killed me.

"You're so useless Matt." I glare at him, as he continues to laugh.

I slump back against the couch, with a scowl.

"Nice try, kiddo." I feel someone ruffle my hair.

~~~~~~

"Tag, you're it!"

I whack Matt's back, with a laugh, quickly turning away, running down his stairs, jumping twice at a time, before running over to the living room, but as soon as my hand touches the knob I feel a whack on my head.

"OWWW!" I growl, whipping my head to see a smirking Matt.

"You're it." With that he turns and makes his way to the kitchen.

"NO I'M NOT!" I yell, heading for the stairs again.

"Bruh." I hear him grunt, as I dash up the stairs.

"You guys still playing that shit?" I hear a chuckle, and my eyes snap up to Jimmie, standing against the threshold of maybe Matt's room.

"Yeah and–" I cut myself off when I hear a crashing sound downstairs, my eyes widening.

"Shit, what was that?" Jimmie curses as he walks over to the stairs.

I check my watch and see that its nearly nine. Shit. I've been here for four hours.

I walk over and follow Jimmie down, we stop when we see Killian at the door, his face showing nothing but fury, as he stares down at Matt.

"Who the fuck is that?" Jimmie mutters, which catches Killian's attention and he snaps his gaze to us, his eyes landing on him then me, his nostrils flaring.

He shoves Matt away as he storms his way towards me and I gulp.

"Dude it was all my fault, I asked–" Matt begins.

"Shut up." Killian spits as his hand wraps around my wrist.

"I'm sorry." I say, as he begins to pull me out of the door and to the car.

We both enter the car and he starts the engine.

A few minutes pass before I break it.

"Killian?" I glance towards him, as we drive through the dark night.

He doesn't respond as he continues to stare on the road.

".. Killian?"

"What?" He snaps, and I frown.

"Why are you so mad?"

He scoffs in response, his hands tightening around the wheel.

"Why are you so stupid to run off with strangers?" He spits.

"They're aren't strangers, they're my friends." Luca knows Matt, and I've been talking to him for ages to know that were friends.

"Of course they are." He grits. "You're friends with everyone aren't you? All it takes is one word for you to become friends with someone, without knowing anything about them. Don't you know what they could've done to you? They could've raped–"

"Shut up." I snap, my cheeks reddening with anger.

"I'm not that stupid, I trust Matt because he knows Luca and I've known him for a while now and he isn't anything like that. And I was right."

"A while? What twelve days?" He snaps, gritting his teeth.

"He still didn't do anything."

"That's not my point." His jaw rolls over. "It's the fact that you are so fucking stupid and naive when it comes to trusting people to the point you actually agree to going to their fucking house."

"I wouldn't do that with everyone, it's just–"

"Just shut up." He grits, his jaw ticking.

I stay quiet for a moment, as I look at him sadly.

"Are you not my friend?"

He lets out a cold laugh. "Grow up, Layla."

I remain quiet as my cheeks flush red with embarrassment, and I turn away and look out the window.

Didn't know it was classed childish to use the word 'friend'

A few minutes later the car comes to a halt, and he stops the engine, sliding out of the car and slamming the door shut.

I stay in my seat, rubbing my burning cheeks but then my side of the door opens.

"Get out." He says rudely.

I glance up, gritting my teeth at his attitude.

"No." I cross my arms. "Why are you being so mean to me? I didn't even do anything and–"

"Oh for god's sake!" He snaps. "Quit testing me right now."

"Friends don't do this." I glare at him. "You said you were my friend and now you're yelling at me and telling me to 'grow up', but you're supposed to accept–"

"I was never your friend." He snaps.

"You're just jealous." I glare at him.

"Like hell I am. Now get out."

"I see it now." I run my tongue over my teeth. "You were just a fake."

"Get out of the car."

"You never liked me you just used me for–"

"Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. The. Car. Now." He growls, grinding his teeth together.

"Now I know what you said to Gareth was true." I glare at him, as I shuffle on my seat, and step out, walking to the door. I hear the beep of the lock as his steps follow me.

We make it to the door, and I reach up, twisting the knob but it's locked.

"Move." I hear Killian grunt behind me.

"Stop being so rude." I snap, turning and facing him and he narrows his eyes.

"I think you forgot who you're talking to." He growls.

I grit my teeth, fisting up my hands. "I'll never forget. You're the person who ruined my li–"

His harsh laugh cuts me off. "I haven't even started with that one yet, love." His hand landing on my bare arm as he pushes me to the side, gently, yet firmly.

I don't say anything after as he unlocks the door, and I step in, making my way to the kitchen.

"Oh, Layla! Just in time for dinner." I hear mum's cheery voice.

My eyes skim over the table, and I see Kian sat with Heidi both talking and laughing.

Across them I see Luca who catches my eyes and gives me a smile, I smile back but my smile drops when I see Gareth next to him, giving me a smirk.

"What are you doing here?" I spit, causing all eyes to snap up to me everyone growing quiet.

"Just some business I need to discuss." He says smoothly, his eyes trailing down my body.

"Sit down, Layla." I hear Killian mutter behind me and I glare at him, before making my way to Luca's side.

"Hi." I smile as I sit myself next to him.

"Hey, you okay?" He raises a brow.

"Yeah." I nod as I scoot my chair closer to his, my eyes meeting Killian's who's at the end of the table, his lips pressed into a thin line.

I look back at Luca. "Do you want to hang out today?"

"It's a bit late. How about tomorrow?"

"Yeah, that's fine."
