Reflections of My Life (Layla)

Ben had locked himself in his room there was no way he was going to go to class looking like this. He didn't want to turn into a laughing stock of the school. He really didn't want to face his friends either. His solution for the moment was to just sit in the dark as he didn't even want to look at himself. He went as far to smash all the mirrors so there was nothing left to show his reflection. Looking at his arm he sighed three days had passed, three petals had disappeared. Who was the one he was supposed to be with? He had no idea.

Layla was concerned, having not seen or spoken to Ben in days and even his own parents were concerned but believed it was because of the break up with Mal but Layla just felt so unsure, something niggling at her senses to tell her to check on Ben. Brushing past many of the males, she almost pushed someone out of the way of Ben's door and lunged into the room, closing the door behind her. "Honestly, it's like a lion's pen out there.." She muttered and rested her forehead against the door, breathing heavily. "Anyway, what on earth do you think you're doing hiding yourself in here?" She said, slowly turning around and her mouth fell open at the sight of her King. "My King!" Layla gasped, walking towards him hesitantly with a hand over her mouth. "My King, what happened to you?" She said, now in front of him and placed a hand on his cheek, inspecting him closely with a furrowed brow.
