We know very little about Demri Parrott. All we know is that she was beautiful, artistic, goofy, & that she died way too young. But, really, who IS the beautiful girl behind the photos? Why were Layne & Demri so inseparable? How did they meet & how did they fall in love? I've decided to take it upon myself to create this missing story. Of course, this will be a work of fiction. But maybe this will shed more light onto this gorgeous woman whom unfortunately succumbed to drugs & an early death.

"You're the only sober person in my life. It feels like you were made for me?" he says, though it came out as a question rather than a statement. I smile and look at him. Layne is already staring at me, searching for understanding. Not knowing how to respond to his vulnerability, I nod with the same smile painted on my lips. He lets out a small exhale. ~~~~~ After a failed suicide attempt, all Andrea want is peace.

This story is for fictional purposes only. I'm aware that all of the band members have had their own addiction problems, but this story is focused around Layne's. In NO WAY am I defining Layne by his addiction. Layne should be remembered for his talent, his amazing and unique voice and the music him and Alice In Chains made for us. He is sorely missed by all of us. May be spelling errors btw! I do apologize but feel free to point any out and I'll fix them!! Hope you readers who picked this fic enjoy!!! (If you don't mind, let me know in the comments if you like this story. I'd really love to know!! :D)
