So...I finally have an idea. I will do another request soon, but I wanted to do this idea first. My OC is named Layla and she is Salieri's daughter and she has been in the business for a long time. She falls in love with Tommy and he breaks up with her when he found out Paulie liked her and that he actually liked Sarah.
Enjoy the story......this is gonna be a long one.
Layla was was walking down the road as she was on her way home from College. She was eighteen years old, and lived around the corner. She whistles a tune as she walks down the road, keeping her eyes peeled. She gasps when two of the school bullies start to run after her, and she runs herself. "COME BACK HERE LITTLE BITCH!" The boy on the left yelled as Layla runs faster and pants heavily, running into the alley that leads to her home, Salieri's bar. She jumps over boxes and runs around people that were in her way. "Stop you little cunt!" The girl on the right side screams, and finally Layla runs up to Sam. "Sammy Sammy! Help me!" She begs and Sam looks at the teens following her. Layla hides behind Sam, shaking a little bit. "Okay kids. Break it up. Leave her alone." He says, rolling his eyes. "Nah. She's a goody two shoes, and she needs to square up!" The boy exclaims and Layla growls. "Nobody, and I mean NOBODY talks to Sammy like that!" She exclaims as she throws her bag down, putting her fists up. As she went to defend Sam, Don Salieri walks out and stops her. "Scram. Leave my little girl alone." He growls and they scram, running away.
"....Thank you Papa." She says softly, and he looks down at her. "You're welcome." He says softly. Layla hugs him close, smiling warmly as Sam picks up her bag. "Come on, let's go inside, hun." He says softly, bringing her into the bar, sitting her in the office gently. "So how was school?" Salieri asks Layla. "It was okay, I guess. Just boring..." She says softly. Layla yawns and sighs a bit. Salieri chuckles warmly and nods. "Yeah, I understand. High school is tough. Why were those kids chasing you?" He asks. "......I'm a goody goody two-shoes..." she says softly. "I'm not like them." She says softly as well and Salieri looks at her. "That's good that you're not like them. If you're like them, then you're normal." He says and she smiles a little. "Yeah...you're right." She says softly.
Paulie looks over at her. He was young and in love, but he already knew that the girl he loved was with Tommy. "If they try anything again, let me know." Paulie says and she nods. "Alright Paulie, but they won't bother me anymore. It's almost graduation. If they keep bothering me, they'll lose their scholarships." She says, and Paulie nods. "Alright Papa. I'm gonna go sit outside with Sammy. I'll see you later." She says softly and stands up, kissing his cheek as she walks outside, Paulie following her. She walks out and grabs a coffee, sitting on the concrete gently.

About four hours go by and she perks up when she sees her boyfriend running away from Dino and Lou. "Tommy!" She exclaims, pulling him over as Paulie walks inside. Sam looks at Dino and Lou, unamused. "Dino, Lou. Ya got business with The Don?" Sam asks and Dino chuckles, shaking his head as Tommy held his side. "Nah. Just wanna talk with the cheeky cabbie is all." He says and Layla growls, stepping forward. "Anything you have to say to him you can say to me, capice?" She asks and he shakes his head. "Naw, see... we ain't leavin' empty handed, Doll." He says and she growls deeply, moving aside as she heard the bell jingle and Paulie step outside. "Well then maybe you ain't leavin' at all." He says and cocks the shotgun. Dino sighs, storming off. "Let's go Lou." He says. Layla looks at Paulie and smiles. "Thanks Paul." She says and he pats Tommy on the shoulder, chuckling. "No problem. Let's go see the Boss, Tom." He replied. "Don Salieri?" Tommy asks. "Yeah, no duh." Layla says and Sam nods, chiming in with his expert opinion. "Yeah. He's gonna wanna hear about this." He says as they all walk inside.

The Don looks up as he sees the group walk in. "Ah, Layla, Sam Paulie. Whose the newcomer?" He asks. "He's my boyfriend, Papa." Tommy holds his hand out, smiling through the pain. "Thomas Angelo, sir." He says, and The Don nods, shaking his hand. "Good to meet you, take a seat." He says and everyone sits down. "Tommy almost busted his chops on account of helping Sam and I last night." Paulie says, but The Don cuts him off with a small hand gesture. He looks at Tommy. "In that envelope, there's more than enough to fix your taxi-" "I don't want your money." Tommy says, cutting him off. Salieri starts to chuckle. "Then what the hell are we doing here??" He asks and Tommy leans closer. "I wanna wreck the day of the bastards that wrecked mine." He says and Salieri looks to Frank. "Can you believe this Frank. The kid is asking me permission to fight!" He says, and Frank nods. "I heard." Layla looks up. "Hey Papa, I know where Morello keeps his cars." She says, and Salieri nods. "I was just about to bring that up. Paulie, I want you to take Tommy to Morello's cars and go beat 'em up a bit. And Layla's going with you both." He says and Layla silently cheers as they stand up. "Come back here when your done. Oh and uh, Tommy." Tommy turns around. "Yes Mr. Salieri?" He asks. "When you get back.........we'll see what's next for you." He says and Tommy nods. "Alright, Mr. Salieri. I won't let you down." He says, and the trio walk out.
