Layla's P.O.V.

"It's my birthday! It's my birthday! Oh yeah! Uh HUH!" I screamed/sang as soon as I got up. "LAYLA! SHUT UP!" I heard someone scream from downstairs. "Silly, silly, Lily!" I sang. I should probably tell you a little about myself. My name is Layla Blue and as of today I'm 19 years old. SO HAPPY! I have black hair with brown and blond dyed highlights. Well, the brown is dyed. The blond is natural. Long story short, I changed it. I'm about medium height and I live with my friends Lily, Liv (short for Olivia),and Lauren. Who just so happen to be my fellow band members in the band that I'm the lead singer of. We're called Lx4 (Lame, I know). On youtube we have one of the top 50 most subscribed channels (YAY!) and we keep going up (hair flip here). I'm also a student at UCLA in the major for computers and media. My sister also lives with us. Her name is Cheryl.

I started to brush my hair. T-shirt , leather jacket, jeans, combat boots. "Perfect." I whispered after applying my makeup. My hand brushed the battered, golden locket hanging from my neck.

*LE FLASHBACK*

"Mom!" I screeched. "Dad!" I shook both their shoulders but I knew it was no use. My sister sat 3 feet away. She was only 3, too young to understand what had happened. My mom lay there with a knife in her chest. My dad, a very visible wound in his head. "They're dead.'' I whispered. I could hear sirens in the distance. "YOU'RE TOO LATE!" I screamed at the door.My voice echoed. 

"Miss Green?" A police officer knelt down next to me. "What do you want you b-" I stopped myself. The police officer wasn't even fazed. "We found these near your parents- um- bodies., you can keep them if you'd like." I looked at his open hand. A locket and a watch. My mom's locket. My dad's watch. I took them. I opened the back of the watch first as I'd seen my dad do many times. A piece of paper and a coin fell out. The coin. A tear dropped from my eye. On it was a picture of our family stamped onto the metal. I remembered the time we went to the MINT and had them specially made. The piece of paper was crumpled up and torn. It read:

Michelle is making me do this but I honestly don't mind. Before our wedding, we have to make our wish. My wish is that my family will always be with me because as long they are, they can't get hurt.-Robert.

Another tear. I opened my mom's locket. The same coin. A different letter.

I finally going to get married! I'm going to have kids! But I'm getting off topic. My wish is that this will be a new beginning and the past will simply be the end. I hope I have better luck and I hope that my children will be beautiful. Inside and out. I want to stay where it all began, and never leave. It is time for a clean slate. A new beginning, a new life. -Michelle.

Tears started to pour out of my eyes. They're gone. They're really gone. I pulled out my coin from my pocket and stood in front of our fountain. "Dawn?" I heard a voice call. I whirled around. "Yes Hugo?" I asked. "I'm sorry."  I ran into his arms. "It's okay." He whispered. "Mr. Hughes?"  A police officer said. "It's okay, I'm leaving." Hugo said. "I'll see you later." He said looking at me in the eyes. He kissed my cheek and left. "Miss Green?" The police officer said looking at me. "Can I have uh- a moment?" I said biting my lip trying not to cry. "Of course."

I turned back to the fountain, coin in my hand. " This is a new beginning. The past is gone. I want better luck for me, but more importantly my sister. She can't remember this. I want to leave where it all ended, and never come back. Today is a new slate. And as long as they're with me, mom and dad, I will never be hurt. Today is a new beginning, a new life..." I looked at Hugo standing a couple feet away looking at me. "With new love." I finished and I tossed the coin in. "That's my wish." I whispered.

*FLASHBACK OVER!*

I looked at myself in the mirror. I tried to remember Dawn. I couldn't. I didn't want to. I walked down stairs. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Lauren yelled. She tackled me. "DOG PILE!" Liv screamed. "Crushing me." I mumbled. "I guess I better join in!" Lily said faking a sigh. "OOF!" I yelled as she piled on. "Dude, remember that today we have a concert at the boardwalk!" Lauren said getting off of me. "And remember today you're meeting Connor and his brother!" Cheryl said walking in the room. "How could I forget sweetie?" I said ruffling her hair. "Oh yeah! I heard that Bajancanadian and the rest of team crafted would be coming to the boardwalk today!" Liv screeched. "You're such a minecraft noob." I said shaking my head. She playfully punched me in the arm. "What's Connor's last name anyway? You never told me." I said looking at Cheryl. She tiltled her head. "Hughes."
