Since I took so long to update I've decided to show someone else POV.

.........................

It been two weeks since I've been back in Mountain View, and boi did rumors spread like wild fires. I'm seriously some people said that I left because I was pregnant, wrong. But some have the answer, yet they are not sure of it. I left to juvenile prison. I'm an delinquent, sadly because of that my freedom is limited.

" Hey baby girl you look fine, come over here and kiss me." a bum looking man called from an alley between the two house blocks.

"Fuck off. " I shout. I'm currently walking back from where I work at the small yet town famous cafe. I'm so lucky I got this job, because no one else would hire someone with my background; luckily Sir John is an old family friend.

"Oh no need to be so feisty baby girl." the creep said walking towards me. I continue to ignore him and quickly walk away. "Hey come back here! " he says catching up. He grab my arm pulling me back.

This is supposed to be the part where the charming school boy shows up out of nowhere and saves me right, and we fall in love, right? Wrong! I pull back causing him to fall back. Juvie has taught me how to defend myself with all the fight starters in there. I kick the guy in the ball and pull his head up by his hair so he can look at me. His eyes widened.

" I said fuck off. " I said in a voice I picked up in juvie. I let go of him crusty ass hair and wipe my hands on my pants. As I walk away he calls out to me.

"Hey bitch!" he yells. I turn around and frown. He holding a gun at me, shit. He fires.

...

Mr. Walker's POV:

"Layla you home? I brought Hawaiian pizza, your favorite!" I shout out when I walk through the door.

"She not her yet, she's still at work." Nick says form the living room.

Form what I heard from kids that come into my book store, he's dating my daughter, but neither of them talked about it with me. To be honest I'm totally fine with it, but if he breaks her heart .... It won't end well. Yes I know it's not like I'm the best person in her life, but I'm trying to make up for it. I want to be in my daughter's life.

"I don't get why she got that job, there was no need. I can just give her money. " I say shaking my head. I walk into the kitchen and sit at the table, Nick joins me.

" Because she wants to earn her money, she an independent type of girl." he says resting his chin on his palm. " Plus I don't think she'll want your money if she knows how you earned it. " he adds now folding his hands on the table.

"What I don't know what you're talking about." I lie. How does he know?

" Don't play dumbfounded Mr. Walker. My Father told me about your secret business together." he says teaching for a pizza. I swat he hand away.

"Please tell me you didn't tell her." I say looking at him anxiously. He shakes his head and I sigh with relief.

"No I didn't tell her, I thought you were going to tell he soon though." he says reaching for a slice again this time I let him.

"I am .... one day, but I don't want her getting caught up with it somehow. God only knows she manages to attract trouble." I state more to myself.

" You got that right. On her first week back to school, rumors about her swarmed like wild fires. Like why did she leave? I don't even know that answer." he says taking another large bit into the pizza.

" Speaking of rumors I have two questions. " I say looking at Nick's reaction. He stiffens in his chair.

" Look it's not true we are not actually dating it's just for show it's just that- I mean she is a lovely girl- ugh what I mean is no it's not true. " he says walking to the fridge for soda.

I let out a small laugh. " Oh son you are funny. And it's okay I don't mind, just don't hurt her or else... Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has opened there mouths about mine and your fathers business." I say looking over my shoulder as if someone where to hear.

"Nop-" he begins to say but the ringing phone in my pocket cut him off. " You should get that he says after the second ring.

I pull out my phone- answered it-and pulled it close to my ear. "Hello? " I say looking at the caller ID it was unknown.

"Hello is this Layla Walker's father Mr. Walker?" a female voice ask. Is something wrong with my daughter? Is she hurt, in trouble, or is dead?...

"Y-yes I'm her father. Why what happened to her? Is she okay? " I ask with my hands slightly shaking. Nick stands next to and leans over to hear as well. His heart is beating as fast as mine.

"Sir we need you to come down to the hospital... She's been shot." she says then hangs up. The line went.

I stood there for a brief moment trying to fully comprehend what I just heard. Nick and I look at each other at the same time. Our faces must be mirroring each others- pale and wide eyes. My only daughter has been shot and she needs me. Only at that moment I was able to move and breathe again. I grab my keys and we sprint to my car. As we got in Nick looked at me confused, so I tell him what happened.

"Layla's been shot! "
