(Layla's Point Of View, 15 Years Later)

"Layla Alexandria get your ass down here right now!" Whenever he used my first and middle name I knew that dad was mad…I kind of hung back for a few seconds before deciding whether or not I wanted to dive into my own destruction and go down there. "Layla you've got two seconds to get down here. One…" I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and into the kitchen where he was standing.

"Now what is it you wanted Daddy?" Usually if I sound sweet and call him daddy it gets me off the hook but from the look on his face I knew it wasn't going to work this time.

"Don't even try it. I just got off the phone with your school…they said that you haven't been there in 4 days…. now if I recall correctly didn't you say that your 'boyfriend' was taking you to and from school everyday? And don't even try to come up with a lie." By the end of his yelling, he was fuming…I don't think I've ever seen Dad this mad before.

"I'm sorry dad" was the only thing that I could think to say…his eyes softened a little and he sat down at the table.

"Layla…you know it seems like you are acting like your mom more and more everyday." Dad put his head in his hands and took a deep breath. "You are basically an exact replica of her. You both have a sweet side that you know can get you whatever you want and then you have your tougher side. But I don't want you to end up like her." I knew that it was still hard for him to talk about Mom. Anyone could tell that he still loved her…whenever her looked at old pictures of her, he would get this far away look in his eyes and you could just about see him reliving the past. "So do you want to tell me why you weren't in school for the last 4 days?"

"Do I have a choice?" He smiled a little and shook his head. "Well you see…um…. me and Andy haven't been spending a lot of time together and we sort of…just wanted to be alone." Dad sort of gave me a questioning look… "No we're not having sex dad." Technically we were but hey he never needed to know. "We just wanted to hang out alone. I'm sorry…I promise I'll be in school tomorrow."

"Trust me you're going to be in school tomorrow…because I'm taking you. And you're grounded for 2 weeks…oh yea and don't forget I want to meet this Andy guy tomorrow. So invite him over for dinner" My mouth dropped open. Dad was going to meet Andy. I know that he's not going to approve of him.

"Dad why do you have to bring me to school? And 2 weeks!"

"I'm taking you so I know that you're actually going to school and do you want to make it three weeks? Now go up to your room" Dad got up from the table and opened the refrigerator, grabbing a soda out.

"Find dad" I rolled my eyes and made my way up the stairs. We had been living in this house for a couple years now and I liked living here a lot more than I like living with Aunt Ellie, Uncle Sean and Cody.

(Jay's Point of view)

I don't know what I'm going to do with Layla…she's just like her mom, headstrong and stubborn. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose her too just like I lost Alex. I haven't been on a single date since then…I focused all my attention on Layla and her needs instead. I can still remember her first time asking about Alex, she had been 4 years old and noticed that all the other kids had mom's and she didn't.

(Flash Back)

"Daddy why don't I have a mommy?" I knew that she was eventually going to ask me this question and I wasn't sure exactly how I was suppose to answer it.

"Baby…you're special that's why" Pure bullshit. But what was I suppose to tell a 4 year old…that her mom died because of a bitch? Or that she died giving birth to her? What was I suppose to say? Layla gave me this look as if saying 'do you really expect me to believe that.' I will admit for a 4 year old she was extremely smart. "Your mommy went to a better place babe…"

"Where did she go daddy?"

"She's in heaven. She's always looking over you and making sure that you're okay. She really does love you Layla…" Even talking about Lexxi still brought tears to my eyes.

"Don't cry daddy" Layla climbed on my lap and gave me a huge hug. "I'm sure Mommy's watching over you to" she was such an adorable little girl. She had long black hair and chocolate brown eyes…none of her looked like me…I swear everything about her was like Alex.

"Thank you baby" I wiped the rest of my tears away and started bouncing Layla up and down on my lap.

(End Flash Back)

I have a feeling that this Andy kid that Layla's dating is just like I was in high school. If she is just like Alex, then this guy has got to be like me. And I think that I want to scare him a little bit, let him know that I will have no problem what-so-ever in kicking his ass if he does anything to my daughter. I know that Layla probably isn't telling me the truth about what her and Andy were doing but hell who could blame her? I still have nightmares about when she first got her period…

(Flash back)

It was couple days after her eleventh birthday, it was the middle of the night and she started screaming for me to come to her room. "Baby what's wrong?"

"Daddy I'm bleeding!" I didn't see any blood anywhere but when she said that I started freaking out inside…where was she bleeding from? What happened to her?

"Where are you bleeding from? Are you okay?" she pointed down towards her crotch and I inwardly laughed. She hadn't had the talk about stuff like that yet…and I sure as hell didn't want to give it to her. But I guess I didn't really have a choice now. "Layla…I didn't really want to be the one to have to give you this talk but I guess I have to. There's nothing wrong with you honey. It's normal…every girl goes through it. I'll be right back and I'll help you okay?" she just nodded her head and still had some tears coming down. I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen grabbing the phone and dialing Ellie's number.

"What the hell do you want" Sean was so pleasant when you woke him up.

"Put Ellie on the phone" I know that probably doesn't sound right but if I know Sean he'll be to tired to even ask why. And I was right. I heard Ellie say hello. "Ellie what do I do? Layla's got her period and I don't know what to tell her"

"First of all Jay take a deep breath. Now do you have any pads or tampons in the house? Wait why am I even asking…you have to go to the drug store and go buy some for her. Then look on the back of the box and explain to her how to use them. Now if that's all you wanted then I'm going to bed. Good night Jay" before I could respond she hung up the phone.


Okay now I'm suppose to go and pick up some pads and read what to do with them. I quickly ran into Layla's room and told her I'd be back in a few minutes. I got into my car and went to the closest drug store. When I finally found the isle with all the chick stuff in it, I had no idea there were so many different things. What the hell was I suppose to buy? I grabbed about 6 different kinds of things and headed to the register. The guy standing there gave me a weird look, which I had chosen to ignore. I paid and made my way home, I walked into the door and Layla was standing there waiting for me.


"Daddy why did you buy so many?" she opened the bag in my hand and I heard a giggle. "Uhh dad I don't think that I need diapers" she pulled out a package of Depends and threw it at me. That's why the guy gave me such an odd look when I was paying.

"How do you know what to do?"

"After you left Aunt Ellie called back and told me everything I need to know. And daddy the next time you go to buy this kind of stuff you might want to read the front of the packages. You got three packages of old people diapers, two packages of super tampons, and one package of teen pads." Okay so I may not have read everything that I grabbed…

"So you know what to do with this things then?"

"Yes…and you can keep the diapers dad." She ran over and hugged me, which was very unexpected. "Thank you so much."

"Your welcome. Now you go do what you have to do and get to bed." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked upstairs.

(End Flash Back)

Ever since then we had made sure that we never brought up anything that had to do with that. Except from time to time Layla would do it to freak me out, a couple times she put red dye on a tampon and left it in the bathroom for me to find. I know that she would never tell me that she was having sex but I know that she probably is. Me and Alex first had sex at 15 and Layla was almost 16 so I'm guessing that her and Andy probably have. But I swear if I find out that Layla is ever pregnant I'm going to break Andy's neck. I really have become an over protective dad…

I took a long sip of my soda and went into the living room. I was definitely going to have fun tomorrow when Andy came over...

Now go review...
