Beetlejuice and The daughter of Lydia

Nightmare

(Tw talk of sexual assault/rape)

Layla's Pov~

I shoot sitting up in my bed hyperventilating, tears running down my face. 

"Bug you alright?" Beetlejuice reaches for my shoulder.

"Don't t-touch me i-it will trigger me." I didn't want to yell at him or hurt him so I figured it was time to tell him why I freaked out yesterday morning.

"What's up?" I could tell he really cared, I still didn't know why.

"I got raped a while ago, and now I get jumpy and scared when people touch me. It really depends on my mood. I had a nightmare about him..." I sit on my bed tears on my face. 

"If he is haunting you babes that means you got unfinished business with him." 

"He already finished his business. He came back at Emily's funeral." I respond a bit confused.

"Not like that, like get your justice. Or you gotta find someone new and get him off your mind." Beetlejuice seems a bit weirded out by this.

"You good Beej?" 

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Maybe he was fine I honestly couldn't tell.

"It's a touchy subject."

"I'm fine Layla I really am!" No, he wasn't but alright.

"Ok." I didn't know how to respond to that.

"Wanna pay him a visit?" Was he crazy!? I never want to see that asshole again. Wait, maybe I do need to.

"What are we gonna do?" A bunch of ideas popped into my head. Burn his house down, murder him, hurt him. But then we'd be bringing ourselves to his level.

"Whatever needs to be done. No man or woman is gonna touch you without permission... I made that mistake once with your mother." Beetlejuice juiced up a backpack but wouldn't open it. My mother? What wasn't he telling me?

"My mother?" He better give me an answer 

"Uh... forget I said that..." Beetlejuice is acting weird. "Let's just get the bastard." 

"It's 4am Beej, we can't just leave right now." Eh we can but I don't wanna get up. 

"Fine, tomorrow after your family has fallen asleep." He rolled his eyes and threw the backpack into the closet. 

"Hey Beej... I wanna be a dinosaur!" I tried lightning up the mood

"Why? Cause they're big and scary? Cause they're-" he smiles and I can feel the tense mood loosen 

"No... cause they're all dead." I smirk, yeah I made a wanting to be dead joke so what!?

"Layla, no, just no." He shakes his head and grabs a pillow and throws it at me. It misses me and hits the wall making a loud noise.

"Crap, Bee my moms gonna wake up!" I hear ruffling in the hallway. "Hide b-" Kayla opens my room door seeing Beetlejuice before he could go invisible.

"AHHHHHH! MOM IM SEEING THINGS!" Kayla runs out of my room terrified. Me and Beetlejuice start laughing. Watching Kayla freak out made my day... morning? Idek. My mom comes down the hall.

"Layla! Beetlejuice! It's 4am!" My mother doesn't like being waked up but she smiles and looks at Kayla running. Suddenly two figures show up behind my mom. Barbara and Adam...

"WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!?" Barbara yells.

"Hey babs." Beetlejuice smiles. This should be fun.

"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!" Adam attempts to send him back but nothing happens. Me and my demon friend look at each other and giggle 

"Wha-" the two ghosts look at each other confused as fuck.

"Got this bad boy." I point to the ring. "I can only send him away! And he isn't leaving!"

"Whatever! You do something stupid Beetlejuice I'll get Juno over here right away." The ghosts float through the wall. They could've gone through the open door but whatever.

"I have to make sure your sister didn't have a heart attack." My mom walks out and me and Bee start laughing again. We couldn't help it.

"Hey Beej! Why can't Dinosaurs clap?" I smirk

"Cause their arms are to sh-" 

"Because they're all dead!" I love dark humor. It's amazing!

"I should've seen that coming." He shakes his head 

"You really should've." I giggle a bit and sit next to Beej who is currently sitting on my bed. I put my arms around him and look him in the eyes. "Thanks Bee, for always being here for me."

"Don't sweat it Babes, I'd never wanna leave your side." He kisses my forehead and his hair turns this bright pink color.

"Hey, does your hair color ever mean something? Like an emotion!?" I'm curious to know what his hair colors mean. All I know is green is what it normally is.

"Yeah, why do ya ask?" He picked me up and laid me in my bed.

"Ya know I can get up myself right?"

"Yeah, Yeah. I know. Just hush little child and sleep." He went over to my mirror and as he looks at his hair I could tell he blushed a bit. "Oh... it's pink... it's only been pink one other time."

"oh, that's nice." I did wanna know what it meant but in the morning I am so tired. "Imma go to sleep. Goodnight Bee... can you uh sleep with me?" I didn't wanna be alone. All I could think about was him... the one who hurt me... Vince Holt... he hurt me so much... at my fucking best friend's funeral.

"Sure." He climbed into bed with me and rapped his arms around me tight. I feel so safe in his arms.

Beetlejuice's Pov~

I look into the mirror and see my hair pink... Pink... it means Love? Am I in love with Layla... the last time my hair was Pink, was with Lydia but then she sent me back...

"Oh... it's pink... it's only been pink one other time." I wasn't just about to tell Layla I love her, she won't like me back look at me.

"oh, that's nice." she sounds tired. I just want her and her family to be happy. "Imma go to sleep. Goodnight Bee... can you uh sleep with me?"Her asking me that made me happy. Make me feel wanted. 

"Sure." I didn't know if she wanted me to hold her but I did, she needs me and I need her.
