((I was inspired by this song (T. Swift, I know) and the story that goes with it. Seriously makes me cry every single time. So LISTEN TO IT AND FEEL THINGS!))
Lucas Harlow was three years old when he lost his fight with neuroblastima. On October 7, 2005, just weeks after the little brown-haired, blue-eyed boy turned three years old, Layla Harlow experienced something no nine and a half year old big sister should ever have to encounter. That date was what had shaped her into who she was. Ten years have passed and Layla is still hanging onto shreds of her faint memories of such a sweet, enthusiastic and happy little boy who she is reminded of every day she looks into her son's face.
This is a little mini event for those involved in Layla's life. Currently she isn't on speaking terms with her parents, she has been couch hopping between her friends, but there are few people who know of the impending date. For this idea, I'm really looking for a way to make Layla vulnerable. She has a certain strength to her because of her son, but with this I'd like to explore a side of her that folds in on herself at the very thought of what she experienced so young. I'd like to see her break down unexpectedly and open up to people that she feels she can trust.
Already I have established several people whom would more than likely be integrated into the anniversary somehow, but this is open to anyone. I'll be posting up at least two open threads, each taking place at different points between Monday October 5th through probably Saturday October 10th. If you want a specific thread made for a character with Layla, post here or PM me on her account/ on Chatango.
Current Ideas:
My Best Three Years - Layla will need to set up one day where Nicholas is taken care of for the whole day, which will give her a chance to face her parents and surround herself with her childhood, without needing to be a responsible parent.
~Filled by Sunny Cox - Communications Board (link above)
No One Knows What to Say - With Layla's couch-hopping, I need to find someone willing to do this thread where she wakes up before Nicholas and is wrecked from one of her nightmares. This is one instance I need someone who is already established in Layla's life.

Side note: The anniversary date will probably be the day that Layla is without her son and is going to be taken up by spending time with Isaac as a get away deal. SO the days before and after are still open for more plotting goodness, but Layla will be busy the WHOLE DAY of Oct. 7th after this current thread.
Crying and Screaming Why - This is the thread for the how Layla is spending the anniversary date.
~Filled by Isaac Monroe - Outside the School - Courtyard (link above)
Post Confrontation - This will be set after facing her parents (I'll be writing a snippet in the creative board for those interested in seeing how it goes. As well as some past snippets of former anniversaries). Anyone can come across her at this point, but expect less sad, remorse and more anger and recklessness.
Cemetery Visit - Once more a thread with someone established in Layla's life. This is again going to be rigged with heavy emotion and triggers. The cemetery visit will take place Saturday when Layla has no classes or responsibilities other than taking care of her son. Nicholas will be with Layla at the cemetery visit. I'm open to this consisting of more than one on one.
Opens:
To the Moon and Back - Layla is hopelessly trying to cope with the anniversary date by attempting to enhance the memories she has of her little brother. Just to remember little things about him to show her son.
Filled by Callie Montgomerey - The West Wing - Training Rooms (link above)
If you have your own ideas, please share them with me! I'll be very focused on this for the rest of the week and would love to get some massive character development this way.
Layla and I thank you <3

It is also to keep up with which plot ideas have gotten snatched up. There's still plenty of opportunities for those interested! Please do consider it, I want to make this have a rather large impact on how Layla views things. I'd like her recluse personality to blossom a little more into something of a semi-open and functioning human being.
