"I will never leave you." Layla reassured her.<br/>Layla took the water bottle from the policeman and held it for Milla.<br/>Layla was astonished, she'd never seen Milla cry before. Not even when she'd been in an accident, the girl was making jokes and smiling in the hospital.   Layla simply held her friend, hugging her, being strong for her while the cop was asking the questions, being strong after.<br/><br/>Instead of trying to joke or make light of the situation, Layla simply attempted to be there for her.  Grabbing tissues from her purse, she dabbed at her tears, then started re-applying Milla's makeup.  "Look.  I'm coming home with you -  I won't take no for an answer.   You won't have to talk to anyone you don't want to."  She restrained herself from asking her usual - "is that ok?" because she didn't want to argue over this-  she just wanted to take care of her friend.  "When you're feeling better, we'll do some karaoke.. or go over your favorite songs," she grinned. "Anything you want- I promise."
