History Laila grew up in San Diego, CA. She was the only child to Robert and Sarah Chambers, both of whom were not fit to be parents. Sarah ignored her daughter while Robert was extremely abusive--to a point where he left her scars as a reminder laceration scars on her inner thighs from when he'd whipped her with a belt, his favorite form of punishment. Her mother got into a serious accident, which took her life, when she was 10 years old, after which the abuse she received from her father only escalated. Fortunately, Laila befriended Jenna Hurst. The two--though very different in personality--hit it off completely and became the best of friends. They became each others' rock of support and were there for the other during the most difficult of times. Despite this closeness, Laila never fully opened up to Jenna. Never telling her the full scale of the abuse she received from her father or how she coped with her depression--wrist banging. Instead, she kept that from Jenna, not wanting to worry her friend not to mention she knew her friend had her own demons to bear. To also cope with things, Laila would 'disappear' a few days at a time, running away to her little 'hide out' she made for herself near Pacific Beach. Just before Jenna left for college, Laila suggested they get matching tattoos. So, they sneaked out and got them and it was a gesture she treasured always. When Jenna left, she was devastated. No longer did she have her friend around for help when things got rough. As the year passed, things at home got worse and to a point where she finally knew she had to leave. She'd been unable to go to college or find a suitable job. But, the time had come to just up and leave. So, she packed a suitcase, stole as much money as she could and a credit card along with her father's car and drove away. Her destination--the east coast and her goal--to find Jenna. As it was, a dreaded disease was beginning to spread and infect people causing her great stress and worry, making her desperately want to find her friend and far away from the life she was leaving behind.
