Layla's POV

So, the rest of the day went by normally, including seeing 5 mental breakdowns, so a normal day, and I was hanging out in Lily's room.

"Does this look good?" she said out of no were, catching me a little off guard, but looking up to see her holding up some art for her class.

"It looks great!" I responded with a smile. It did look good, and way better then I could do, but it didn't seem to convince her.

"Be honest, it looks bad," she said, looking down at it. "I'm not that good at art."

"Hey, that's not true!" I said, a little upset that she's being so harsh on herself. "Ok, that's it. We're going to go somewhere to get your mind off this." As I said that, I grabbed her hand and pulled her up and over to the door. She was about to protest when I cut her off by saying "We can get something to drink, and just hang out with Alex ok? You seem stressed, so let me help."

"I-" she started, before cutting herself off, she had flushed up a bit, but I thought nothing of it, after all, she flushes up all the time. "Ok, I guess, but I want to fix it when we get back."

"Fine," I said with a smile, she knew I was right, and put on her shoes before we both walked out of her room. We went to the coffee shop, where Jason was, talking with Alex. He realized we walked in and looked over.

"Oh no, what prank do you have planned on me now?" he said.

"Nothing," I stated with a smirk. "Well, nothing yet. But no, we're here because Lily's being to hard on herself and i'm trying to get her to understand she's a good artiest. So, what drink can you make to make her like her art?" As I asked that, Lily rolled her eyes and me, and elbowed me in the side, but once again, didn't protest. 

"Well," Jason started. "I can make her a frappuccino. (he works at Starbucks now, surprise!) That or a mocha because she likes those."

"A frappuccino will do," Lily said with a smile. "Vanilla bean please!"

"And I guess i'll have a chai tea frappuccino," I said, also smiling. 

"Alright, and what size?" Jason said, looking at us with a you idiots didn't tell me what size look. 

"Grande for both please!" Lily said, looking a lot happier.

"Ok, that should be about $9," he said. when we gave him a look saying that's not right he said "Look the rest goes into tips for me!" which made Alex snort a spit coffee onto the counter.

"Listen, I'm only gonna say this once, so listen close Lily." She said, leaning over to Lily as I payed for our drinks. "You are a great artiest, don't let anyone tell you otherwise," As she said that, Lily gave a small smile, but I could tell her words could only get so deep. "No one has more power over you then you, so don't let yourself stop yourself. Also, that girl you have," She said, pointing at me. "Stop hiding your gay feelings and tell her."

"I! What the hell Alex?!?!" Lily yelled, her face as red as a tomato. I probably wasn't looking much different. Alex and Jason were laughing so hard, that made me want to slap them. Lily looked like she wanted to die, and I felt like that. Look, I won't deny it, I like her a lot, and would love to be with her, but there is no way she feels like that... right?

Hey! Another chapter done! This was all inspired by me hating my own art work and thinking, why not write a chapter like this! I hope you enjoyed, but other then that I have nothing to say, so have a great day! bye!
