Joey's point of view

Me and my best friend, Amanda, where hanging out in the food quart at the mall with a ton of shopping bags at our feet. Amanda hardly ever uses her 'inside' voice.

"So...Joey! What's your dad like since he's in a band!" She practially screamed at me.

"Good God, Amanda. He's in a band. Big deal."

"Big deal! It's a big fuckin' deal! It's Black Veil Brides!! Come on, what's he like! He's hot, but everyone knows that."

"Calm the fuck down.  We don't really 'hangout' like the father- daughter type deal okay? We text a lot. And that's about it."

"Damn. What's your problem?"

"You're obessed with my dad. He's all you ever talk about. It's creepy."

"Along with a billion other fans. Ash probably has his own Army."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's not talk about him for once okay? Let's talk about something other than Ash."

"Like.... What? You don't even call him dad. I would so call Ashley my daddy."

"Because it sounds wierd. That's why. He never had kids before me."

The conversation ended there. We grabbed our stuff and went back home. I drove. I dropped her off at her house as she carried half of the shopping bags and made it inside safely. Then I drove back to my place. Ash's place techinquently. My trunk was filled of bags from various stores. Ashley never did care how much money I spent, he just gave me a gold unlitmated charge card. Every girls dream. I got back inside to find all of them still here! Great. Just great. Two armfuls of bags and a bunch of guys, not a good mix. "Well, well. Looked what the cat dragged in!" Jake said clearly directed towards me. I put my bags down and started towards him. "Exuse me! Do you have a death wish? If so I'd be happy to make it come true."  No one, and I mean no one talks to me like that, unless they want to die. "Damn. Calm down, it was just a joke." And on cue, they started laughing at me. Ash did nothing to help me. So unlike him....

"I don't take insults lightely. Watch yourself next time." And it was true. I don't take insults as jokes. Even if they where meant to be.... I've had my 'real' dad's intionals tatooed on my wrist with D.S. for Dannie Star. With a heart around it and the Marine Core symbol around his intionals when he went into the Marines when I was 14 years old. "What's that on your wrist? A tattoo?" Jinxx asked suprisingly piolitley. "Yes. My 'real' fathers intionals with the Marine Core around it and a bleeding heart that." It went completely silent after that. A whole three minutes of silence. I've decided that they where honuring my father for serving our country. Then, I heard my name being called from outside. "JOEY!" Was I hearing things again? "JOEY STAR!" I can hear the guys whispering "Star?" behind my back. It's him. It's my father! I ran out the door and there he was. White uniform, short black spikey hair and green eyes. Just like I rememberd. "Dad!" I ran to him, he picked me up, spund me around and put me back down again. I was crying tears of joy, a feeling I thought I would never feel again. Then, there was Ash. Standing in the doorway with the guys hudled behind him. I saw betrayel and sadness in his eyes. "Joey, who are these people? Your friends?" He asked. "It's a long story. But that's Ashley Purdy, Andy Biersack behind him. Jinxx on the left. Jake on the right. And CC behind Jinxx and Jake." I pointed each of them out. He didn't who they are. "That band you always listen to? I was notified that someone adopted you and you took thier last name.

Ashley's point of view.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. My daughter hugging a guy that claims to be her bioligical father. She said he left when she was 14! "I missed you so much daddy!" she said and hugged him again. She called him daddy. I felt a rush of jealousy and anger. Why am I jealous? Why am I suddenly so angery with her? I should be happy for her for she found her father. Before I know it, I'm walking towards the door. He's done something to her, she's holding her cheek like she's been slapped. He was standing a couple feet behind her, clearly not happy with her for something. "Ash!" I feel sick to my stomach. "Ash! We can talk about this!" She cried. "We can fix this! Don't leave me!" She cried again. "What's to talk about? He's your father. Talk to him. You don't need me anymore!" But, I need her. I can't live another day without her. She completes me. Can't I love a girl without being broken? I guess not. I'm so fucking sick and tired of being treated like this! I love and I lose. And do it all again with a new girl. "Ash! Ashley Purdy! Get your ass back here!" She called me again, with tears in her voice. I knew it. He slapped her across the face. I stop and turn around, I was right. He was standing a couple feet from her. She was crying tears of pain.

"What did you to her! Tell me what the fuck you did her! Now!" I was yelling and I didn't even realize it. "Take her. She's yours now. I want nothing to do with her." He said so calm. With no tone his voice. Just... black and cold. "Bastard! Tell me what the fuck you did to her! Now!" He still didn't answer.

The son of a bitch slapped my daughter across the face hard enough that it left a hand print. I start running, faster with each step. The next thing I know, I'm beating him. We fall to the ground. I was on top of him, holding him in place by the collar of his shirt beating his face in. He struggles to fight me off but I just kept on hitting. "Ashley! Stop it! Your hurting him! Stop it!" She tries to pull me off but I nock her to the ground. She's nocked out cold. I'm still beating her father dead. It took Jinxx, and Jake, to pull me off the guy. Jinxx and Jake took my arms and pinned them around my back. Andy and CC check on Joey. She's going to hate me for life. I don't bother to struggle in Jinxx and Jake's grip.
