Layla's POV :

^I get to my cousin Dominic's house and tell him to get clothes. This kid is something else ... he reminded me of Darren when he was younger. I want to cry just thinking about it ...^

^For many year's people had been asking me if I was ok after what happened in 4th grade ... like no I'm not ok. People don't understand how easy it is to put a fake smile on you're face and say you're ok. The only people who knew I wasn't really ok besides my parents was Kayla and Darren... they're real^

^I still haven't confronted Mom and "Dad" for lying to me about my "dad" not really being my dad ..^

Dominic comes back into the car with a backpack

Dominic : Ok ready

Layla : Ok bet

Layla drives to her house and they both get out the car

Dominic : How does it feel to have a nice house like this ?

Layla : Lonely

Dominic : Oh... I'm sorry

Layla just walked up to the door and had a thinking face on

Dominic : What's wrong ? You can talk to me

Layla : You wouldn't understand

Dominic : If it comes with a story then ... I'm down to listen. I'm here for you

Layla : It's about my first crush, he died in the 4th grade. It was traumatizing

Dominic : You were there weren't you ...

Layla : Yeah ...

Dominic : Sometimes telling someone will help. Only if you want

Layla : You're right

Layla and Dominic both sit down and she then tells Dominic the story

~Flashback~ :

Today is May 24 (Layla's 10th bday).. also 9 months after Layla was kidnapped.

Layla was super excited because today she was supposed to go to the movies with Jose, Darren, Kayla and Erica.

It was 3:54 PM. Everyone was already at Layla's house even the kids parents, they were gonna sing happy birthday really quick.

They all sang happy birthday and then the kids went outside to play.

Erica, Kayla, Layla, Darren and Jose were on the grass playing duck duck goose when out of no where a white van drives by

In Layla's pov everything went in slow motion and then immediately memories rushed back to her from August 24

As the things were in slow motion and the van was still moving a man with a mask pulls out a gun and shoot to where the kids were

Layla had then saw one of the guys get out the van and kidnap Jose. While the kids try to hit him another man comes out and points a gun at them basically telling them to stop

The parents come rushing out

J/m : Jose ! LEAVE MY BABY ALONE YOU BASTARD !

And then the man points his gun at J/m and ... shoots

Man1 : You weren't supposed to shoot !

Man2 : Too late now let's go !

The guys then run into the van with Jose and leave

Layla was in shock and then got on her knees and started crying so hard and began to scream Jose's name

Layla : NO JOSE ! WHY HIM ?! WHY TODAY ?! WHY EVER ?! *😭*

Darren and the other kids start trying to comfort each other including Layla and just start crying

Meanwhile the adults try and stop J/m's body from draining of blood and call the ambulance

Minutes later to the ambulance show up and take J/m into the van. All anyone heard J/m say was "Where is Jose ?! Where is my baby ?!"

That day traumatized Layla the most ...

~End of Flashback~

Dominic : I- I'm so sorry

Layla : It's fine

She sniffles

Dominic : You've been through so much .. an- and on your birthday. Wow

He says with a tear coming down his face

Layla : Yeah that's what made it worse

Dominic : How many times ?

Layla : How many times what ?

Dominic : How many times did he get shot

Layla : Twice in the gut

Dominic just frowns

Layla : Hey uhm it's fine let's just watch a movie

Dominic : Oh ok, Friday after next ?

Layla : Yeah sure. You can go upstairs and change

Dominic : Ok brb

Layla grabs the movie and puts it in the DVD player then waits for Dominic

Dominic : Ok ready

Layla : Ok

Layla then grabs the remote and starts the movie

After 15 minutes Dominic and Layla fall asleep
