layla ignores her, from the door of the small coffee shop halfway across the street in the direction of the bus stop that she took home after every shift. just seeing her face had done enough to cause an ache to rise in her chest and her breathing felt restricted. it was hard shutting yara out, but there was only so many chances that layla could give before she exhausted herself. yara knew that this wasn’t something that layla was completely comfortable with yet, and it didn’t make it any easier when she was being stood up every chance she got. maybe she had set herself up for this. she should’ve known better than to get involved with someone who was nothing like her in nature, but she couldn’t help herself. there had always been something that drew her in about the girl, and that only seemed intensified now. “you don’t get to do this.” layla finally halts her movements on the sidewalk and turns her body to face yara, anger burning brightly within blue eyes. “you don’t get to shut me out any time you want while you’re out doing god knows what and come back like.. like you haven’t done anything.” tears are stinging at her eyes faster than she wants to admit and her lips quiver, arms wrapping around herself. “i can’t keep doing this with you, yara.”
yara had never seen those beautiful blue eyes shine so brightly with anger. it was terrifying almost. had she really gone too far this time? was there no more hope for them? she sighed and knew that she just had to try. she was a fuck up, she felt like she’d always been at this point. “i know i haven’t given you much reason to believe me, i know i’ve said it a million times before but i’m sorry. look, last time my brother needed me to look after his kids, i forgot my phone and like, i don’t know your number by heart to call you on the landline. i don’t even think pablo’s works.” she told her and pulled herself back on track. “this time i didn’t forget you, alright? i didn’t. i’ve learned your number by heart now. i did so i can call you even when like, i’ve forgotten my phone or something.” she said and dared to take her hand. “i was doing better though, wasn’t i?” she asked and looked at her with her big brown eyes. “i wasn’t out... doing anything wrong. i promise.” she said, hoping it wasn’t too late yet. she had before, she had gone out to steal, even to see her ex in the past, when they first got together. layla never knew what she was doing, she’d never told. she was sure that if she did it would be completely over, even if in the last few months she’d stopped being a knucklehead. this time it hadn’t been like that, but she couldn’t blame layla for doubting that.
