Layla flew the coop without knowing who she was or how to survive. Being an adult is something you learn. Having a teacher who cares can make things a lot better. <br /><br />She doesn't care enough about Ned to tell him anything about this, unfortunately. Even worse? I'm not positive he'd understand but about half of the impact. <br /><br />Very very long memories. lol.

Y..."Old-fashioned" or not, it's true. You dance around in your skivies, and people will at the very least tease you. Sometimes, I think the world needs a good deal dose more of "old-fashioned." But then, the stuff I write doesn't often reflect that, hehe.<br />Estella coming in like that was something that Layla needed. She did it because she cared. I had a grandmother just like that. At the time, her lectures were as annoying as hell, but she did it all out of love because she cared what would become of us. She had a bumpy start in a rushed adulthood, and she didn't want any of that happening to us. Layla does need to see that just because she's casual that that doesn't mean that everyone else is. At the very least, she needs to explain it to Ned, but I think her pride and vanity won't let her.<br />Small towns have long memories.mypalsim1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08612512921461620603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-533304327919893302013-04-22T16:33:32.886-05:002013-04-22T16:33:32.886-05:00And the problem there is she'll never leave si...And the problem there is she'll never leave since she's the one who convinced herself that she needed fewer people around and so a small town was just what she wanted. It's a lot different. It's amazingly different. Summers spent in Granola taught me that the hard way. The people in places that never change take everything personally, even if it has no bearing on themselves or their lives. I think Estella is looking at it from a 'moral corruption' standpoint. Incredibly old fashioned and most likely only whispered with a frown any more, but Layla needed a good rebuke so that she'll calm down a little bit. So I picked that one. Else I'm afraid Aunt Estella would never have been galvanized into action.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-63067048652604383572013-04-22T16:30:14.465-05:002013-04-22T16:30:14.465-05:00Oh, she absolutely needs to start thinking of othe...Oh, she absolutely needs to start thinking of others and how her actions impact them. It's kind of why I went ahead and did this. Everyone is constantly telling her that her actions have consequences. And she'll even dwell on them before finally throwing caution to the wind and doing what she wants anyway.<br /><br />That's close! But the town habit is just a little more than that. Hoping for a close encounter- LOL! Though I guess that is pretty true to life too!

Though she'll never close them. lol. Just like she'll most likely never remember to lock her doors.<br /><br />Layla really thinks what is going on with Ned is a game. She's just out for fun in the whole bit. Anytime someone makes it more serious she doesn't want to play anymore. Hence why she immediately recategorized what was going on in her defense. No matter really though, since Ned is already in pretty deep.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-81191431242052215152013-04-22T13:33:15.780-05:002013-04-22T13:33:15.780-05:00Well, I do agree that Layla needs to take some res...Well, I do agree that Layla needs to take some responsibilities for her actions. But being taken to task for dancing in her pajamas? That's a little intense. Then again, I live in a big old city. I can imagine life is much different in a small town. And I think Layla needs to accept that.

Well they obviously have a gossip habit, but that's fairly standard for small communities!

It was like the worst offense...<br />Anyway, I feel kind of bad for Layla that what brought the lecture on was pajama dancing...I guess I can't get my head around seeing it as this huge deal, though in the context of this town, I understand it. All Layla needs is some curtains, fixes the whole problem. =D<br />But still, Estella is right about Layla playacting as an adult. And if she thinks she and Ned are 'just friends'...well, obviously Ned was thinking something else, and if Layla were honest with herself, she'd know it. She doesn't have the excuse she had with Anthony, that arrangement of pretending to be a couple. Now if she leads Ned on, it's all on her.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-86733793530688414202013-04-21T17:31:25.515-05:002013-04-21T17:31:25.515-05:00She was trying to imply that Layla hadn't made...She was trying to imply that Layla hadn't made her house frilly and feminine. lol. It's totally what my grandma would have said. Ha!<br /><br />Melly Pelly was indeed the nag in the first chapter. Good catch!<br /><br />Layla is getting to where she's going to start stepping on people if I don't rein her in a bit. She's finally getting that confidence Phedra preached to her about, only she's abusing it a bit too.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-39939602844928540712013-04-21T17:29:18.752-05:002013-04-21T17:29:18.752-05:00Nah.

And this will sound really weird, but he has standards and that one is a bit low for him. Ha! Though I swear if you read all the other stuff about him it does make sense (look at how others- not Estella or Layla- have responded to him.)<br /><br />Um. Roofs. lol. And it was a star gazing party. We used to do it a lot. Climb on someone's roof with the excuse that the 15 feet higher we were made it easier to look through the trees. But that's not really a 'habit' so much as a hobby.<br /><br />After that, you accidentally got really close in there to what it is up in your original comment. But it's very obviously an accident so no dice. lol. ;)<br /><br />I couldn't help but use 'crunk!' That shoulder roll!

Wasn't she that nag in the first chapter? <br /><br />But Aunt Estella is right on many things, Layla is playacting at being an adult; actions carry responsibility. She's gotten a little too wrapped up in the notion that she can do whatever she wants, and hasn't realized that yet. {ℳ}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02869880226899470327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-22568973700111311682013-04-21T15:06:22.729-05:002013-04-21T15:06:22.729-05:00Looking back...

Uh... Give you my famous... Lasagne recipe? Shepards pie? I dunno. Chicken pie?<br /><br />Anyway, like, line 3? The one about Layla thinking she was a crunk dancer? I. Died.<br />I've not heard the word 'crunk' in so long, made me laugh SO MUCH!<br /><br />I don't think Estella was too harsh. It all made perfect sense, and needed to be said before Layla became a complete cock-tease. I LOVE her PJs though, LOVELOVELOVE! I don't have PJs. I don't sleep naked, I just sleep in old clothes because... well.. I dunno. I just do. My sister buys new clothes, and wears them only to bed. That way she looks like she's actually got up when she has a 'I'm hungover' pajama day. Weirdo.<br /><br />Anyway...<br />I half want Ned to find out, just to see what he'd say, but I also don't because he's way too sweet to be hurt like that.<br />And, Ignacio peeping over her fence? *shudders* Oh, he's way too close for my liking. I wouldn't be surprised if he snuck glances in her bedroom windows while she changed. What a creep! And now we know, from Estella, that he's do anything to bed a woman... Just, ew. Grosses me out, even if he is hot.gemly_teddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384732672776498936noreply@blogger.com
