Until Your Heart Craves In (Chris Motionless/Joshua Balz FF)

Chapter 51 (Layla Chris and Tyler)

~Layla~

I felt dead, my body was bleeding all over the floor, I couldn’t move I just felt myself fading as I heard a voice, “Tyler I don’t see her anywhere!” he sighed, “I can still feel her Derek she’s alive!” I heard the steps come closer into were ever I was I hide behind a desk as the came in I quietly breathed in as my heart felt like it was going to stop. I choked on blood that I started coughing up and I collapsed on the floor.

~Tyler~

“so what’s the plan?” Axelia asked us as I sighed, “Derek and I are going to get dad and his dad so drunk that they will tell us were Layla is.” She nodded as Derek and I headed out as we got a lot of alcohol as we headed over to Derek’s dads house. Once we got there we went inside as my dad looked at me and gasped, “you- you have to be a ghost.” I laughed as I looked at him, “No I’m not but I brought you something.” I said as I handed him the bag of alcohol as he smiled and started to drink. They both drank a lot as I asked, “So were’s Layla?” “At the house you were born in Tyler the old house it’s a piece of shit now but no one will find Layla their now.” I chuckled, “Alright dad, I’ll see you later.” I said to him as Derek handed me the keys to his car as I drove to the old house abandoned and really broken down Derek and I looked around I went upstairs to look around as he looked on the main floor I looked in my old room their old room as we didn’t find her.

We were walking into the basement as Derek said,  “Tyler I don’t see her anywhere!” he sighed, “I can still feel her Derek she’s alive!” I practically knew she was I could tell that she was hanging on she has to survive I haven’t seen her or Axe grow up to be the young beautiful woman that they are now… Layla never had any friends I knew that for sure and I also knew that dad always chose Layla over Axe to beat up because Layla was a loner that I could have change if I would have stayed she would have become more confident…I’m sure a horrible brother as we got to the basement I opened the door as we looked around we didn’t see anything but blood all over one part of the floor I was already in tears my baby sister my littlest sister I kept looking around.

I heard coughing coming from behind the desk as I looked over to see my sister fall to the floor I started to freak out as I checked her pulse it was barely there, “Derek we need an ambulance now!” he nodded as he called an ambulance. “I’m so sorry Layla!” I sobbed as I felt a hand on my face, “Tyler…” she said faintly as I sobbed, “Layla I’m so sorry!” I cried as she looked at me, “I have to be in heaven.” She said quietly before her arm went limp and she passed out, “No! No! Layla Wake up please!” I Screamed as Derek came, “Their on their way.” He said, “It’s too late!” I sobbed as I held Layla close to me, “I should have never left, she was always the one to get beat up and never had any friends Derek Axelia and I were the only ones she had and I left!” I sobbed more as I held Layla tighter to me. I rocked and cried till the paramedics took her from me, “I’ve got a faint pulse!” he called as they left and we left also. We went to Axelia’s apartment as Derek and I walked in as I was just covered with blood, “Tyler are you okay?” Axe screamed as I just wiped my tears as she looked at me as she teared up, “Is Layla okay?” I just looked at me “She has a faint pulse she…she is more broken than when I left.” I cried as Axe hugged me as we both just cried.

“Let’s get to the hospital,” Chris said as we nodded as we got the kids in their carseats as we left as we got to the hospital we waited in the waiting room, it was about 4am as I just put my head in my hands as I heard our mothers voice, “Axelia why did you need me to come here so bad?” she asked, “Layla is in surgery and I want you to see someone.” I stood up still in my blood stained clothes my face with a little blood on it as I went over to Axelia as my mom put her hand over her mouth, “This…this can’t be your supposed to be dead!” I rolled my eyes a little as I said, “No I left, I faked my death because I was sick of dad beating me for being different.” I said as she nodded, I sat back down as the police came in, “Can we speak to Mr. Charleston?” I stood up as I walked over to him, “yes?” “You are Tyler Charleston?” I nodded, “we need your side of the story.” I nodded again, as I began to tell them.

~Chris~

As much I tried to be happy for Axelia that she got her brother back and her mom who got their son back who were having a moment I rocked Cristian who couldn’t fall asleep again as I picked him up. “I know I want mommy too.” I said as I rocked him softly as he looked around before he started wailing. Tyler looked at the baby as he looked over at the doors and just stared with tears running down his cheek, I wondered if it was connected…I shook it off as the doctor came in, “Family of Layla Kaylee Cerulli?” we all stood up as he sighed, “I’m so sorry about your lose she died on the table.” I started sobbing as Ricky came over to me as we just sat there and cried with Ricky, “Why Ricky!” I sobbed as we just hugged one another carefully as Axe cried into Josh’s chest and everyone just sat there sobbing. I stood up with Cristian still in my arms as I said, “can we see her?” he nodded, “This way.” He said as we followed him as we came to a room, “I’ll let you all have a minute.” We nodded as everyone went in couple by couple I knew I was never getting Layla back I teared up again as it was my turn as I gave Cristian to Ricky, “I’ll be back for him.” He nodded as he sat against the wall crying. I went in as I moved Layla’s hair out of her face.

“Layla I love you so much.” I whispered as I just stared at her, “I will always love you, and I will miss you so fucking much.” I cried as I fell to my knees as I sobbed, after a couple minutes I went to get Cristian. Cristian looked around when he saw Layla he just cooed making my tear up a little, “I’m sorry baby boy I can’t let mommy hold you.” I cried as he just started sobbing. Like I did, I walked out of the room.

~A week later~

Cristian is now 7 months as of Monday, I was in my black skinnies my plain black shirt as Cristian was in all black. Today is Layla’s funeral, I saw my mom downstairs along with Ricky with puffy red eyes, I guess he didn’t stop crying all week either, I had Cristian on my hip, “you ready?” my mom asked as I just nodded afraid to speak. We piled into our cars as I saw the guys from Asking Alexandria, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, and a lot of other bands that new her or didn’t came I had Cristian against my hip as I just couldn’t stop crying. As the service went on the priest said, “Now Layla’s husband Chris has a few words to say.” I just wiped my face and gave Cristian to my mom. “Layla was the love of my life, though we haven’t been married long I knew from the first time we meet that she was the one, we had our ups and down but we always knew we had one another and counted on one another for anything, and everything. I know she had a rough life before I married her but it didn’t stop me she was my soul mate and I want to thank everyone who came here she could always count on you for the little things. I love you Layla Kaylee Cerulli you gave us a little boy who had changed our life and you gave me the best years of my life. I love you.” I said as I sobbed and went over to my mom again.

I got Cristian as I cried the priest finished the service we went to my house…I will always love you Layla Kaylee Cerulli<3
