I Can't Be Controlled

hello besties I'm Layla and I'm from India please like And subscribe to SDA I was born into a family of accountants and when I was just two years old dad gave me my first calculator this is a calculator Layla if you want to be a great accountant one day you need to start now of course I had no idea what he was talking about I was just too right after he left the room I threw the calculator like a flying saucer and when I was nine I finally realized what I wanted to be after watching a space Channel on YouTube Mom Dad I know what I want to be when I grow up I want to be an astronaut Leila have you been watching nonsense again on your mother's phone not nonsense dad YouTube enough from now on you will watch educational programs with us I wanted to talk back the back chatting in my family meant you are grounded for life I sat down and watched their boring accounting Channel and then all of a sudden my eyes started burning and everything became blurry mom my eyes are burning stop being dramatic Layla and watch I'm not I can't Mom Dad God help I think she's telling the truth we have to take her to the hospital Mom and Dad rushed me to the hospital I was diagnosed with radiation cataracts this was caused by too much light from a screen like a TV phone or computer I guess you couldn't forget about being an astronaut now because up there you would have to see lots of light every day why do you have to be so horrible Dad I'm your child and I have a sickness calm down Layla dad was just joking well no one is laughing I was devastated about what was happening to me the doctor even said that in a few years I would need to have an operation or else I would be blind but then my hope flourished again when I saw a shooting star I was not going to give up I continued to frustrate my parents about my passion when I was 15 I made my own astronaut costume and wore it for career day at school as I walked in confidence some kids laughed but that didn't bother me until a douchebag with a huge camera flashed the thing in my face causing me to lose my sight and I walked into a locker hey are you all right I I am so sorry I was just admiring your costume and since I'm a future photographer my eyes are still burning from your camera flash oh no I am so sorry please let me help you to class my name is Shane I'm actually in your science class I hate science but you're so brilliant and Shane I know who you are so please go I'll be fine are you sure your eyes are turning red and Shane was the class Chatterbox everyone ran away from him because he could never shut up and now because of this little incident I seemed stuck with him he even followed me home after school Shane what are you doing I'm making sure you get home safe I'm a real gentleman my mother always told me to be polite but my father well he's never around always busy at his big accounting firm I don't like accounting a night okay okay I'm home now so you can go before Shane could cycle off dad's car pulled over and he got out looking so mad dad why do you look so angry I just got fired so yes I am mad I'm sorry to hear that sir my dad owns a company maybe I can talk to him for you Layla who is this is he your boyfriend are you bringing boyfriends home while we're at work no Dad how can you think that no no sir I was just making sure your daughter is safe which company does your father own the biggest accounting firm in the country BNG sir your father was a crook he just fired me for a mistake he made and he's been stealing a lot of money from many people oh that's not true I can get out of here you child of a thief Shane drove away and Dad warned me never to speak to him again I agreed but things at home after Dad lost his job were never the same mom would come home from work and still clean while Dad just sat around all day watching TV and he was so grumpy we couldn't even laugh when he was around and then one day during the early hours of the morning I got up to drink a glass of water and found monk crying in the kitchen as she looked at the bills Mom are you okay Layla what are you doing up I was thirsty you're crying I'm just so tired we might have to use the money we saved up for your cataract operation to pay these bills it's okay Mama I'm sure I won't go blind just yet days later I had to eat my words up because my eyes were not doing so well since I struggled to see a single thing on the class board when I excused myself to the bathroom I could hardly find my way and when I got to the bathroom I got the shock of my life when Shane suddenly screamed why are you here I'm here to use the bathroom why are you here using the bathroom wait are the boys and girls sharing the same bathroom now I know you ladies always fight for equal rights but this would be a little over the top I looked closer at the door sign and my face turned red with embarrassment oh my gosh Shane I am so sorry I didn't read the sign right it's okay it happens I made a mistake like that twice before my excuse was my eye problem I wondered what his was let me go before anyone else sees me after my little incident with Shane he somehow assumed we were friends and followed right behind me during lunch break I think the universe is trying to say something to us what do you think it's saying that we're meant to be friends my dad specifically told me to stay away from you so I don't think so wow I should try that too chocolate syrup and hot dog huh you put chocolate syrup all over your hot dog I think I should try that here you can have mine this is so delicious wow what a discovery Shane was definitely a special kind of species but what troubled me the most was how bad my eyes were becoming because the next thing I did was walked into a wall and of course Shane was there to catch me when I almost fell backwards you see I told you the universe was trying to bring us together no leave me alone Shane when I tried to get away from him I walked into another wall but this time I blacked out after some time I opened my eyes and everything was black it was like I was in a dark hole and couldn't get out so I started panicking Layla calm down you're in my car oh I'm blind what are you talking about how is this possible I told Shane everything and he cradled me in his arms as I cried my eyes out I'm here for you and I'm going to drive you to the hospital now when I got to the hospital I was rushed to the emergency Ward and I was so scared but Shane was right by my side Shane what's going on the doctors are gonna make your eyes better but my parents don't have the money for this don't worry I got you after he said that I dozed off and I don't know how long I was blacked out when I woke up I still saw Darkness but after some seconds I saw Mom and Dad Laila oh my baby how do you feel I can see hey Mom thank god dad just looked at me sternly Dad what's wrong you disobeyed me I told you to stay away from that boy but when we got here he was here I had to chase him away you chased him away he saved my life she saved your eyes not your life and you will pay him every cent back we are not a charity case dad walked away and mom never said anything back as usual mom why don't you ever say anything back to him why'd you always leave to be so mean I didn't want to start a problem the most important thing right now is that you are fine when I was well enough to go back to school Shane was the first person I couldn't wait to see I didn't care what Dad said I was going to be his friend and he loved taking pictures of me oh Layla you are a natural you should be a model or an actress I could but I love space science I know it's a strange career choice but it gets me excited follow your dreams no matter what if it wasn't for your help Shane my dreams would have been shattered thank you so much it was good to have a friend like Shane who encouraged me that back home when I was in grade 12 I came home and found dad smiling for the first time in ages what happened did you get a job no even better this is your acceptance letter to study accounting at the best college in the country you applied for me yes it's what we planned for your future but that's not what I want you know how passionate I am about space why do you always ignore what I love Layla you are going to study accounting this is what we are good at no Dad it's what you are good at I applied to study space science and that's what I'm good at then you will not live under my roof you might as well start searching for a new home in space fine I'll definitely do that Dad when Mom came home from work I cried on her shoulder and asked her to speak to Dad but she was being the typical submissive wife again oh Layla my baby just listen to your father and all will be well what are you not even gonna speak to him and tell him that there is nothing wrong with being an incredible scientist we can't take risks like that Han accounting is much safer than that career please think about it I was so mad but I had to calm down and play nice at least until I completed my grade 12 and when I eventually did graduate I was so excited that I even forgot that my parents were present and hugged Shane dad wasted no time to attack Layla what are you doing with this boy come on dad it's our graduation everyone is happy I told you I don't like this boy but I did nothing wrong to you sir and my father told me what really happened you were stealing enough Layla let's go no what is he talking about you told us that Shane's father was the crook dad looked at me like I wasn't even his daughter at that moment so I drew back but him he was cold as a monster Ayla let's just go no she's done with school now she can find her only in life I couldn't believe how my parents walked away from me like that I was hurt but I had to stay strong Layla I'm so sorry I didn't expect them just to leave you that was a bit too harsh I looked a chain and I couldn't hold back my tears I had no idea what I was going to do oh Shane what have I done I have no money no job no place to stay my father will never take me back I'll speak to my dad for you to stay in the guest house your family already helped with my eye operation I don't want to be a burden hey you could never be a burden you're like my best friend in the whole wide world hearing Shane say that help ease my shattered heart from my parents Shane's family offered me a nice space in their guest house it even had a balcony Shane bought me a telescope to look at the stars as a motivation for my career and one evening while I was out gazing into the telescope I accidentally gazed into Shane's room he was at his window with his shirt off and oh boy was I amazed I had no idea how much muscles he had I was literally drooling to get my mind off this sudden attraction I had for Shane I decided to search for part-time jobs and then Shane entered and I almost killed coffee all over the laptop hey what are you up to Shane you startled me I was just looking for a job why we have everything here what about your studies I know I should be happy that I even have a scholarship but I need to make my own money I don't feel right eating off you and your parents I told you you don't have to feel bad I've got you I know Shane meant well but I had a very big conscience and got a job at a big toy store I had to dress up like different Disney characters every day and kids were always surrounding me the job was fun until one day this one kid accidentally blew a bubble into my eyes the store owner quickly took me to the back room where I managed to wash my eyes and cool down it brought back memories of when I went blind that was the most scariest time of my life the store owner allowed me to leave early so I called Shane when he came to pick me up I felt so emotional and hugged him hey what happened nothing big I'm so grateful for you Shane he kissed me on my forehead my feelings for him grew stronger but I kept it to myself every day after work I had to get down to studies it wasn't easy studying during the evenings sleep was always over me but Shane would come in with a nice cup of coffee reminding me to stay focused thank you so much how are your studies going it's going okay but there are so many other photographers who are better than me hey look at me you are the best forget about what others can do and always tell yourself that you are the best thank you I needed to hear that I was glad to be there to motivate him and I was even stunned at myself my parents letting me go actually made me stronger I scored the highest in my grades at University I helped the toy store make the most sales than ever before and a year later I could finally afford my own place plus continue with my studies I was so proud of myself and so was Shane you inspire me Layla you are such a strong person I could have never done it without you I felt like we had a moment so I did the unthinkable I kissed Shane and he pulled back Layla I can't oh I feel so embarrassed I thought it's not you I'm gay oh wow how come you never told me I never tell anyone just scared of not being accepted I hugged Shane showing him that I love him just the way he is after Shane's big reveal we would spend even more time together and then one day I was surprised with a new visitor dad your mom is in hospital dad said Mom fainted at work I wasn't surprised to see Mom this way what surprised me was Dad he actually looked so weak this is all my fault I put so much pressure on her you're right Dad you took Mom for granted she could never be free around you but yet you are supposed to love her dad looked at me shocked because no one ever stood up to him how can you be so disrespectful I'm being factual change your ways or else you'll be alone on this Earth with no one to love you I left dad to think about his actions as for me I still continued in my independent journey and you know what I made it I started living my dream all because I never stopped believing in me
