"YOU DID WHAT?" Layla yelled at her brother "Toby! Do you realise how serious this is?"
"Layla! I..." Toby stumbled
"YOU COULD GO TO PRISON!"
"Who's going to prison?" Johnny said, walking into the room.
Mick had let Layla use the back room to speak to her brother
Layla pushed free of Toby's grip
"It doesn't matter! Just forget you ever heard that!" Layla stated
"If someone in this house is a criminal... I deserve to know!" Johnny yelled
"Go on Layla! Tell him... If you think you're so smart!"
"NO! Toby... why should I? Why should I tell him that you..." she stopped, the words too painful to say "You murdered our dad!"
Johnny stared at Toby, who sunk his head.
"And you stand here like nothing even happened! Is that why mum sent me away? Did she know?" Layla sobbed "TOBY! DID MUM KNOW?!"
"Yes! She knew alright! Mum knew and she sent you away because she knew that if you knew, you'd do something stupid!"
"What?! Like tell the police?" Johnny butted in " 'Cause I think that's what any normal person would do in this situation!"
"You better keep your mouth shut! Or something might happen to you..." Toby stood up
"What the hell is going on in here?" Mick yelled coming in. He pointed at Layla "You've only been here five minutes and it looks like you're already causing trouble!"
"Dad! Don't take it out on her!" Johnny said
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Please! Just stop it!" Layla shouted, but no-one heard her as they were all arguing
The arguments carried on, until Layla found the courage to speak up!
"Toby murdered our dad! Alright?" She yelled.
Mick stopped and stared at her.
"Is that actually true?"
Layla nodded. Mick pulled out his phone and within minutes the police had arrested Toby.
Layla watched as her brother was dragged into the police car. Mick walked over to her.
"I'm sorry! You can't let people get away with that!"
Layla didn't want to listen... She grabbed her bag and ran all the way back... Crying!
