Story
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
He closed his eyes watching as a teenaged girl walked past the alley he was in. She looked anorexic, but he knew she wasn't.
She was only like that to keep her younger half siblings alive.
If I could just fly away
Her parents traded drugs, smoked crack, and didn't take care of the children they were producing.
Her birthfather was an alcoholic who had died in a gang fight. Her step father was one of the purple dragons.
Her mother became one the moment she married her step father.
It had been ten years since that day, and day by day she has gone with eating little food, and he knew that.
Because he saved her from suicide, but he can't stop her from trying to keep her younger half siblings alive…she refused to give up on them.
Show them who I really am
That's why he keeps an eye on her…just to make sure she eats something.
Just a girl, age seventeen. She doesn't go to school, doesn't have a job, but she has hope.
Her half brothers and sisters are a part of that hope, and when he rescued her…he became apart of her hope, too.
Say what I want to say
She said she loved him the other night. He couldn't help but smile.
He was an outcast, and she accepted him.
So did her half brothers and sisters.
Do what I want to do
He loved her the moment he saw her smile. The way she held onto him when he caught her when she jumped off the building.
She was lucky he caught her.
Love who I want to love
If his brother Mikey had felt how light she was, then he would be forcing food down her throat.
Her half brothers and sisters would probably thank Mikey for that.
They worry about her as much as he worries about her.
Live a life that was meant for me
Holding the groceries in his arms, making sure she was fully inside the run down ground apartment, he set the groceries at the doorstep.
Hoping to sneak off and just have her read the note.
Live a life with you
Unfortunately, she opened the door to bring out some trash bags.
"Leonardo?" she whispered.
"Layla," he smiled.
Because I love you
"What are you doing here?" she asked quietly, her large golden eyes confused.
"I just came by to bring you and your half siblings some groceries," he smiled.
"Thank you so much," she smiled.
"And Layla?"
"Yes…" she blinked.
"I love you, too."
Love is a magical thing
-One Month later-
He held her in his arms; she had gained a lot of weight since then. She and her half siblings now live with Lady Jones.
Casey found out about her, and made a law suit to get her and her half brothers and sisters out of that old apartment.
The second youngest didn't survive due to a sever case of pneumonia.
She was so heartbroken by the loss of her younger sibling, but that didn't stop Lady Jones and Mikey from stuffing food down her throat.
Of coarse, now she's afraid to be alone with Mikey when there's food around.
Love brings things into balance
They have been happy during the month they've been together.
Hate and Pain can break it
And are hoping that it will survive.
But when love is strong
But hope is what brought them together.
Love is bound on Hope and Trust
That's why she's been renamed…
Love…
She has been renamed Hope…
Can surpass the bad times
And he loves her because of the hope she has.
Because all you have to do is Hope
PLEASE R&R!
If you want me to make a prequel and a sequel to this then I will!
