Adopted-Brendon Urie

Chapter 6

Layla's P.O.V
*I'm running away from my dad, but I'm not fast enough... He catches up and violently jerks my arm back. "Where are you going little missy? I thought I told you to turn around for daddy not run away. You will be punished for this..." He raises his hand and starts to slap, punch, kick, and do more to me. After he's done he does something nasty that no father should do to their child...
When he's done he slaps me and calls me a little slut, a whore, worthless, ugly, etc. He then exits the room and locks me in it, no food for the 3rd day in a row. I start to cry and pass out...
When I wake up everything is sore. The events from before I passed out come back to me, and I start to sob. Why did it have to be me?! I see a bottle of perscription pills. I could use them, just a bottle of pills and I could be free. I reach for the bottle and water. Uncapping the perscription pills I put them all in my hand and swallow them down with the water.
My dad comes in and brings a knife with him. He swipes at me and cuts up my whole body, then takes a bottle of lemon juice and pours it all over my body. I scream out but my cries fade out as my life starts to fade as well. The last thing I hear is my loudest most painful scream I've ever done.*
I jolt awake, sweating and screaming. Tears are pouring down my face as I sob into my knees. Dallon was surprisingly still asleep.
Brendon darted into the room, quietly running over to me. He scooped me up and I put my arms around his neck and my legs aound his torso. He carried us down stairs and into the living room, standing by the black leather couch. I was bawling into his shoulder while he rubbed my back and was swinging his hips from side to side.
"Hey baby, what's the matter? Shhhh, hey, you're okay."
"I had a-a nightmare, but it was actually j-just a m-memory." I tried to say all in one sentence, but it came out in 5.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" I nodded my head, and he set me down on the couch. He sat beside me, so I took the oppotunity to sit in his lap. He hugged me as I leaned back. And so I told him what happened...
*20 minutes later (8:30)*
After I'm done telling him my memory Brendon's face was red and he had tears slipping down his face. "So that's why you're so afraid of men..." I nodded my head, but that wasn't the only reason. Brendon picked me up, pulled me off his lap, and got up. I pouted and crossed my arms while I looked up at him. He laughed and leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"Layla... You didn't get to meet Spencer yesterday because you freaked out when you saw him. He's a really nice guy, but you kind of hurt his feelings when you ran away from him. If he's kind of bitter towards you, just remember that he's a really nice guy, he just doesn't get why you ran away from him." I nodded my head and looked down at the floor, tears brimming in my eyes. "I didn't mean to flip out, I just got scared. It's not his fault... It was mine. I want to make it up to him."
We heard footsteps come down the stairs and the one and only Spencer came into view. When he got all the way down the stairs I ran over to him and jumped on him. He seemed suprised by what I had done so I just giggled. He gave me a huge smile when I said, "Good morning sweepy head! I'm sowy about yesterday, are you ok?" Spencer tickled me and I giggled really loudly. "It's ok Layla. Are you going to freak out again?"

I don't know if he's joking, but I don't think he is. "To be honest sometimes I might freak out like that again. It comes suddenly a lot and it is really hard to control." Spencer just nods his head and puts me down. I go over to the movie collection on the shelf in the living room and pick out "The Princess And The Frog". I take the movie over to the DVD player and put the movie in.
Brendon got up and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Spencer sat down on the couch and I am on the floor playing with my stuffed otter Riley. I am still in my pajamas, but I changed into long pajama pants with a long sleeve shirt.
At about 9:15 Dallon came down stairs. I looked behind me and smiled at him. He smiled back and came over and picked me up from where I was sitting. I took my otter with me and he held me in front of him, while I wrapped my legs around his torso and ruffled his messy hair. "Good morning sleepy head!" I said like a toddler. He replied with, "Good morning princess!" And kissed my forehead. I giggled and hugged him with Riley still in my hands.
When I let go and pulled back I said, "Dallon will you carry me with you?" He smiled, I love it when he smiles! I poke his cheek and he said, "Of course princess!" I smile and hug him really tight. After I pulled back I put my hands on his cheeks, pulled/tilted his head down a little, and kissed his forehead. "Awww! Layla! You are so cute!"
He started to walk to the kitchen, so I hugged his neck and put my chin on his shoulder. When we got there Brendon was standing at the counter talking to Spencer. I pulled back from Dallon and pointed to Brendon. He said, "But I thought you wanted me to hold you?"
"I do, but I want Brendon because you got to hold yesterday."
"Okay fine! But only for the morning. But I guess Spencer should get you too, so I guess tonight..." His face fell a little bit, so I kissed his cheek, then lifted up a little bit and kissed his forehead, then kissed his other cheek, and finally I kissed his nose. He smiled huge and that made me smile and laugh.
He walked over to Brendon and I jumped out of his arms and hugged him, getting in the same position as when Dallon held me. "Brendon!" I sort of yelled. Brendon smiled at me and said, "Hey kitten, whats up?" I giggled at the nickname and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Brendon can we have some bonding time in the morning, then Spencer bonding time in the afternoon, and Dallon bonding time tonight?" He was almost immediate to answer, "Yeah sure kitten, but you will have to ask Spencer and Dallon about the other ones."
I looked over to Spencer and he just nodded his head and said, "Sure sweetie we can have some bonding time." I smiled at him and looked over to Dallon, "You already know my answer princess." I jumped up and down in Brendon's arms. He set me down so that we could eat.
*After Breakfast*
After I was done eating Dallon told me I should go take a shower. It was a little suspicious, but I go upstairs to the bathroom and do it anyways. Once I get down into my underwear and bra I stare at myself in the mirror. No wonder people didn't want to adopt me. I have scars all over my body, I have baby fat on me, I am ugly (I know this because people tell me all of the time,) I am so messed up.
I get into the shower and do what I need to do. I look at my cuts. I can't do it again because I left my razors in my room. So I decide on scratching them open.
After I scratch almost all of them open I get out of the shower. I do my makeup and give them time to dry. After makeup I blow dry my hair, curl it, and shake my head out do the curls are soft. After I do all of this they are dry and I go get my clothes on. I go to my closet and go through all of my clothes until I pick out a plain black tee and light shorts (A/N: See picture for outfit.)
When I'm done I go downstairs and ask Brendon a question, "Hey Brendon... Can I dye my hair back to brown and get blonde highlights in it? Please..." He looks at me for a second and then looks at Spencer and Dallon. They both nod their heads so Brendon says, "Yeah sure, lets get in the car and go do it!"
I squeal and run out to the car, my three dads following beind. "Dallon! Dallon! Sit in back with me!"
"Alright I guess, princess."
He got in back with me and we all buckle up, while Brendon started the car. I tell Dallon, "Sit next to me!" And I pat the seat right next to me. "Ok princess," he says a little tiredly, and scoots over. He puts his seatbelt on, then I lean over and hug him as tight as I can. He puts his arms around me as a smile curls onto his lips.
When we get there I jump excitedly out of the car and run up to the doors, swinging them open, with the guys following close behind me. When we get into the Salon I sit in the chair and wait for my new hairstyle...
