Candi’s POV.

“Did you ask Layla out yet?”

“No.”

‘Why not?!”

“Because I don’t want to play with a girls heart Candi!!”

“How many times do I have to tell you SHE DESERVES IT!”

“Doesn’t matter, she’s a girl. She’s fragile.”

“Just do it.” I said taking in another bite of cheerios.
He just stayed silent.

“I mean why do you care so much if you break her heart?” I continued with a mouth full of cereal.

“Because it’s not right! I kinda felt something toward her that night on the porch. She seems very sweet, and it’s hard to believe that she would be as cruel to screw up your date.”

“So are calling me a liar?! You’re turning on our own sister Luke!”

“Stop doing that! You always assume more than what people say! You exaggerate WAY too much! Can’t you be rational for once?!”
I picked up my bowl and rinsed it in the sink not saying a word. This won’t be as easy as I expected it to be, in order for me to move forward with my plan I needed Layla to be emotionally destroyed. Once she is she will have her parents’ death, Luke’s break up, and soon suffering for her last breath in her hospital bed.

“Look, just trust me with this. Okay? I really need you to do this, I can assure you she is not a good person.”
I gave him a quick hug, peck on the cheek and walked out the door waiting for him in the car.

Luke’s POV.

I didn’t know what to do, should I destroy a girl’s heart to please my sister or should I follow my heart and ask her out for real to please myself?
I glanced out the window to see if Candi waited for me in the car, and she did. I quickly rinsed my plate and grabbed by book bag as I ran out the door.

“So what did you decide?” Candi said as I opened up our convertible beige mini cooper.

“I don’t know Candi.”

“Are you serious?! Just do it for god’s sake!”

*Luke sighs and ruffles his dirty blond hair*

“Fine. I’ll do it.”

“Finally!”


Katie’s POV.

As I got packed my bag for school, I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened last night. Did Harry really call me? Is he starting to remember me? I just hope Candi’s not playing some twisted joke.I guess I’ll just find out today at school.


Harry’s POV.

“Can you get my clothes I left at the hospital today please?” I asked Layla while eating breakfast.

“Yea sure.” She mumbled playing with her food.

“What’s wrong? You always yell at me for playing with my food.”

“Nothing.” She half smiled taking her bowl to the sink.

I followed her to the sink and pulled her close to me when she tried to walk away. I held her by her fore arm waiting for her to turn around and face me.

“Layla.” I said quietly.
I can hear her sniffle and saw her other hand raise to wipe a tear.

“What’s wrong? Talk to me.”

“Harry I-“ She cut her self of to take in a small gasp.

“Tell me. Just let it go.”
I had a feeling I knew what she was going to say, I knew it would end up hurting me.

“Harry… There’s just so much shit going on in my life it’s too hard to handle.”

I immediately pulled her into a bear hug and let her cry it all out. She let it all out on my shoulder crying non-stop, I held her so tight we could feel each others heart beats.

“Its okay Layla. We will all help you get through it. We’re all ganna help you somehow, tonight Perrie, El, and Danielle are coming over to spend the night and there bringing dinner with them.
I knew she wasn’t only upset because her parents died, her fighting so hard for us not to be together makes things a lot worse. I just want her to be happy.
She backed up from our hug and said,

“I heard you on the phone last night. Do you really remember her now?”

I didn’t know what to say, why would she ask me this?

“Yea, I uh I started to” I stuttered.

“That’s good.” She smiled, but I know inside of her she was most likely dying.

Candi’s POV.

When I got to school I started thinking, and I came to the conclusion that I want to go visit Harry at the hospital. Maybe I can try to convince him that I’m not the bad one. Then maybe he will fall in love with me instead of those stupid girls Layla and Katie, I just hope the day flies by fast.


Adrianne’s POV.

“Hey Layla! I know you don’t work today, but I REALLY want a cupcake! Can we stop by the bakery?”

“So cupcake wants a cupcake?”

“I don’t even know how ‘Cupcake’ became my nickname!”

“Well I gave it to you. I give everyone food nicknames, and since I love cupcakes so much I named you cupcake!” Layla giggled.
I’m just happy she is feeling better than she did this morning. I heard from Harry she was REALLY down, and I this point I can’t blame her.

“Well I love it! So can we?!”

“Sorry babe, I gatta go to the hospital. Harry asked me to pick up some clothes he left there. And I’m not feeling so good today.”

“So no one knows yet that he’s at your house huh?”

“No, but all the boys do. And soon Perrie, El, and Danielle.”

“Wait, why do you have to tell them?”

“They are coming over tonight to spend the night and bring me dinner. There just trying to cheer me up.”

“Oh ok, well I hope you have fun. And I’m going with you to the hospital.”

“No cupcake. I’m going to go alone.”

“Nooo you’re not. I’m going with you. What if the bitch Candi is there?!”

“She won’t be! Everyone needs to chill with her. Sure she threatened to kill me, THAT DOESN’T MEAN SHE WILL ACTUALY DO IT!”

“You never know. She’s CRAZY.”

“Sorry, but I’m going alone.”

“UGH! Okay can you at least promise me that you’ll call me for anything?!”

“Yes I promise.”

Layla’s POV.

I pulled into the hospital parking lot looking for a parking spot. I found one not too far from the door and parked there. I quickly added a little lip gloss, fluffed up my hair and walked to Harry’s hospital room. His room was on the 5th floor and there’s never a lot of people up there, so it’s always super scary.

In the split second that I turned the nob on the door to get in, I felt something weird. Like something telling me not to go in, that something bad is inside but I ignored the feeling and continued inside. Once I entered completely inside the room I didn’t see anyone but I felt like I was being watched.

I was really scared and just wanted to get out of here, so I walked over to the counter where his clothes were folded in a neat pile to just grab it and go. But suddenly out of nowhere the door slammed shut. I turned around in panic wanting see what the hell that was. Just that second I saw Candi walk out from behind.

“Oh jeez Candi you scared me!” I said a little relieved.

“Where’s Harry Layla?”
“Don’t fucking lie to me and tell me the truth!!”

“Well-“ I didn’t know what to say.

“Nothing to say huh? Well can you answer why you’re getting his clothes. OR why his room is empty like he’s not coming back?!”

“Ya see-“ I got cut off when I got tackled to the floor by her.

“What the hell! Candi get off me!” I yelled.”

“TELL ME WHERE HE IS!” she said trying to get a hold on of my throat.
I went to reach for my phone to call Adrianne but I couldn’t reach.

I finally got to push her off, I grabbed my phone and almost dialed her number but couldn’t hit the call button when she grabbed me from my hair and threw me against the hospital equipment. It hurt so bad but I didn’t want to fight back. All I had to do was avoid her untilsomeone came.
I needed my phone but it was on the other side of the room. I got of the floor brushing everything off my clothes and tried to talk to her instead of fight.

“Candi if you just hear me out I’m sure you’ll understa- AHHHHHH”
She tackled me back on the floor again trying to get to my neck. AS I blocked all her punches and pulls I managed to get to where my phone was, it was two inches away from my fingertips but I couldn’t reach it. At this point it was a matter of life or death so I had to do something, I felt so bad doing this but I had to. I fisted my right hand and planted a punch right across her jaw bone, she flew off from on top of me and let out a scream of pain. I managed to get to my phone and click call, we were both bloody and looked terrible. Candi was still crouched on the floor holding her face which made me feel TERRIBLE! So I went over to the counter and wrapped a couple ice cubes in a napkin and sat down next to her. I lifted her face so she is level with me, since I had punched her with my rings on she got badly cut.

“I’m Sorry.” I whispered.
I lifted the ice and placed it on her cheek, she flinched from the pain but I kept the ice on her. I thought everything was better now, but I was wrong. She aimed straight for my throat and knocked me against the hospital bed. At first I was just choking, struggling for air, fighting back as hard as I can but I slowly started to daze off.My hits got weaker and weaker by the second, I knew Adrianne was on her way since she hear everything so I tried my hardest to just keep my eyes open until she came. But I couldn’t, her grip on my throat got tighter and tighter. I caught a glimpse of how I look through the reflection of the hospital light, my face was all blood shot red with a hint of blue. I couldn’t hold on any more, I gave Candi one last look and slowly closed my eyes feeling the relief of pain.
