The students and the teachers in the school now realized that Layla always felt bad. They began not to annoy her anymore. Few still tried to bully Layla. Layla's smile slowly came back, but sometimes she still has to think back to the bad times. She would love to erase the past from her mind. Worst of all during this time, however, was the loss of her parents. With the help of Mike, she slowly managed to overcome the grief. After a few months, her older brother, Bryan, also came out of the hospital. She took care of him as he cannot run very fast on one leg.
Spring slowly returned. After the long winter, Layla was finally happy that the sun was shining again. In the past few months, Layla has been well overwhelmed by the rigors of the past. Peace had come about in the class between Layla and the rest. But some didn't want Layla to be so happy.Yamato, Bora and Cassidy teamed up to drive a wedge between Layla and Mike. They pondered for a long time how best to get the two of them apart. Lately the two have only been together. No matter where they went - they were always out and about together. That hung out the three of them.
They finally had an idea how to break the two apart. One day Layla went to her parents' grave alone. So wanted to plant fresh flowers in the grave. After she finished, she stayed there for a while and got up after a few minutes. She wanted to go, but Yamato, Bora and Cassidy were standing in front of her. Bora said to her: "Well, today without any company? I could tell you what he's doing today."
Layla was only a little shocked that the three were standing in front of her. She had to first realize that someone was standing there. Only after a few seconds did she say: "He is at home studying. I came here alone. Does that bother you?"The three looked at Layla and Cassidy said in a firm and determined voice:" Well, only you believe that. We met him a few minutes ago. We asked him why you weren't with him. "
"And guess what he said," said Bora. "He said that you were too annoying for him and that he had to have a little time for himself and for his girlfriend. To be more precise, he indicated very much that he didn't want to see you anymore. You're just a block on his leg . "Layla was shocked by this statement at first. She had to ponder first.
When Layla didn't say anything, Yamato said, “We have evidence that Mike is with someone else. Here.” He gave her pictures to look at closely. In every picture Mike was seen with a brown-haired girl. Layla couldn't believe it. She kept looking at the pictures and now understood what the others had told her. At first she didn't want to believe them that Mike has a new girlfriend. But now that she had the pictures in hand, she couldn't believe it.It was difficult for her to hold back her tears.
She passed the three of them and suddenly started running home. Yamato said satisfactorily: "It worked out well. She will hate him now and then she will be lonely again and we can have our fun." The three of them watched her for a while until they also left the cemetery.
Arrived at home, Layla slammed the door of her room loudly. Bryan, who still had to be home and couldn't go to college, startled when he heard the bang. He went up to Layla's room. He opened the door quietly and saw Layla lying on her bed crying. He went to her and touched her shoulder. She looked up immediately and immediately fell on her older brother's neck. She was still crying. Bryan asked her carefully, "What happened that made you cry a lot?"
It was hard for her to say, “Mike is such a bastard.” Bryan looked at her in surprise when she said that. He always thought that the two of them get along so well that they would never part again.He took her in his arms and comforted her. After a few minutes he asked: “What did he do to you that you hate him so much?” Layla wiped the tears from her face. Then she said, "Yamato, Bora and Cassidy told me that Mike sees a block on his leg. And that he has a new girlfriend. I don't understand. Why is he doing this? I can't take it anymore."
Her tears came again. Her brother said: "Have you already talked to Mike? Maybe he can clear everything up. I can't imagine him just dropping you like that." He looked down at her. She took out the pictures of Yamato and showed them to her brother. He looked at her and understood immediately. He put them aside and took Layla a little tighter in his arms. But he couldn't really believe the pictures.
The next morning, Mike came to Layla's house to pick her up. Like every morning, they both went to school. He rang the doorbell. Bryan opened the door.He saw Mike and said immediately: "Layla has been out of the house for ten minutes. If you hurry up, you will still be able to catch up with her. ... And one more thing, she is not good at talking to you. So be careful. "He closed the door again. Mike didn't understand. Why did Layla go to school so early? Usually she was always a late riser. And then that statement from Bryan. She wasn't good at speaking to Mike? What did that mean. He walked a little faster, but he couldn't catch her anymore.
He didn't see her until school, but she ignored him. Even in class, she didn't say a word to him. Yamato and Co. had fun. Layla didn't want anything to do with Mike. She didn't say a word to him on the way home either. He was a little confused about this reaction. The previous day she was still so lively and had so much fun with him at school. She couldn't wait to talk to him again the next day. So he didn't understand her reaction.Whether he did something bad to her.
After doing homework, he wanted to know why she stopped talking to her. He called her on the phone. Layla picked up and when Mike said he was on the other line, she immediately hung up. He tried a few times in a row, but kept getting the same result. Apparently she really didn't want to talk to him. But he wanted to know the reason why she was so weird. He went towards her house. When he was with her, he noticed the beautiful picture with the angel. She finished it and then she wanted to throw it away. Now he didn't understand anything. He took the picture and at that moment he really felt it, a kind of hatred. He knew now that she hated him, but only why? He had to get to the bottom of the matter.
He went home again. At that moment the garbage disposal came and collected the garbage. Mike went home with the picture. At home he brooded over Layla and her behavior. But he couldn't figure out what had happened to her.For the next few days she kept more and more distance from Mike. He tried to talk to her over and over again, but the same reaction over and over again. She turned her back on him and didn't say a word. On the fourth day after school, Mike made up her mind to go to Layla's. He finally wanted to know what was wrong with her. He rang the doorbell and Bryan opened the door. Mike immediately said, "Is Layla home today? I want to talk to her."
Bryan looked at him suspiciously and invited him in. Bryan said to him: "I don't know why you did this to her, but I hope you have a good explanation for your insolence. ... She is upstairs in her room. She is doing her homework." After Mike When he was in the house, Bryan closed the door behind him. Mike went up to Layla's room afterwards. Bryan watched him go. He figured she wouldn't even hear him. As soon as she saw him, she would kick him out of the house immediately.
Mike stopped in front of her slightly ajar door.He heard her sob. He went quietly into her room. She was sitting at her desk, her head in her arms, and weeping softly. Mike kept walking and slowly approached her. He was now right next to her and she did not notice that he was standing with her. He looked at her closely. Then he looked at the desk. She tried in vain to solve the math problems. She couldn't concentrate. The pain was too deep.
Mike hesitated at first and wasn't sure if he wanted to talk to her now. Finally he reached out and touched her shoulder. Layla winced and only then looked at the person she had just touched. She saw Mike and immediately looked away again. Her only words to him were: "What are you doing here? I don't want to have anything to do with you. So, go now." She didn't even turn around to say those words in his face.
He didn't say anything at first. After a few seconds he just said: "I wanted to talk to you. I don't know why you are so angry with me.I've done nothing to you. If I hurt you please tell me so I can apologize to you. But if you don't tell me, I can't explain anything to you either. "He paused and looked again at the desk with the math problems. He said after a brief look:" You have to multiply the numbers together and then take the root. "
Now Layla turned slowly to face him. She looked at the assignments. She didn't understand why he wanted to help her now. She looked at him and away again. She asked him: "Why? ... Why are you helping me again? You have the brown-haired girl. Why don't you go to her?"
Mike got it now. Layla was jealous, but who? A brown haired girl? He knew a lot of girls like that. He said to her: “Which brown haired girl?” Layla saw him and she came to tears. Mike noticed her and took Layla in his arms. But Layla pushed him away again after a few seconds. Then she said angrily: "The brown-haired girl here !!"She tossed him the pictures of Yamato. Then she grabbed his collar and threw him out of her room. Mike could only take one picture, then he was outside the door. Layla locked the door so that no one would not come back Mike could hear Layla crying, so he decided not to push her any further and went home.
At home he took a closer look at the picture - especially the girl. There was no doubt the boy was he. And who was the girl next to him? Suddenly he remembered. It wasn't just any girl, no, it was his younger cousin. He could remember it again. But who took this photo? Whoever took this
