...I went through everything in the box and when I got to the bottom of it, I found a letter addressed to me.

I carefully opened the letter and saw that it was written in my moms handwriting; cursive and print mixed together but it didn't look messy at all, it was beautiful in my opinion. The letter read:

"Dear Isabelle,

It killed me to lie to you and tell you that your father was dead, by now you probably already know that he isn't and that I am not with you anymore. I want you to know that your father is someone that you're familiar with already, you've looked up to him since you were 12 when you first started listening to his band. I want you to know that it isn't his fault that he was never in the picture. It's not his fault because I never told him. I didn't want to hold him back from his dream, I wanted him to go and pursue his dream so I never told him. Instead I just disappeared never to be heard from again. I know you're not really forgiving, but hopefully you can find it in your heart to forgive me for lying to you for so long.

Love, mom

I couldn't believe what I just read. My mom lied to me all those years and she knew that I was listening to his band! Why didn't she tell me? I don't see why she couldn't tell me instead of writing this letter. She didn't even tell me who he is, not even what band. Ugh, this just makes me miss her even more.

~Monday Morning~

The weekend went by so fast that it's already Monday. I haven't been told whether my dad was contacted or not and I'm still so curious about him. I still wonder if he would take me or not, God, I hope Mindy comes today. I really need to talk to her.

I got ready for the day and found my moms locket in my sweater pocket. I put it on and left the orphanage. When I got to the school I heard someone call my name. "Izzy!" the voice said again, turning to see who had been calling me I saw my best friend. "Mindy!" I called back "I'm so glad you're here, I need to tell you something!" We spoke in unison, I let her talk first: "Well, my dad had a little too much to drink last night and decided to drive both of us to a club at a bar, but on the way there he was stopped and arrested. I have to go to the orphanage today after school."

I stood there shocked that I'll be living in the same orphanage as my best and only friend. "So, what do you have to tell me?" she asked. I explained what had happened on Friday and I told her about my dad too, I just left out the part about him possibly coming for me.

As soon as the final bell rang, Mindy and I went over to the park. We spent about 2 hours just running around and goofing off, after those 2 hours, I got a call from the orphanage. "Hello, this is Isabelle." I answered catching my breathe. "Hi Isabelle, we need you to come to the orphanage immediately." the lady over the phone said "Um, okay, I'll be there in a few minutes." I replied then she hung up.

"Who was that?" Mindy asked, "It was the orphanage, they want me to go there for some reason." I answered. I wonder why they need me so badly, oh well, I'll find out when I get there. A few minutes later and we were a few steps away from the orphanage door.

I suddenly stopped in my tracks when I saw someone climbing out from their car, that someone was Andy Biersack! Mindy hadn't noticed because she crashed into me saying "Hey! What the fuck Iz, why'd y- oh." she had then come to realize why I had stopped.

~~Andy's POV~~

"THANK YOU LOS ANGELES AND GOOD NIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS!" I yelled to the crowd as we closed for the final show of our tour. It's about 9pm so we went to the bus. I went to my bunk to check my phone for the first time today and noticed a missed call and a voice mail.

I lied down and listened to the voice mail. "Hello Mr. Biersack, I'm calling from the orphanage of Oregon. You may or may not be aware that you have a daughter. Her mother, Rachel Duncan, recently passed away and we would like to know if you want to take her in, if not we will put her up for adoption by Monday morning. Please call back with your decision, the number is 3684595410. "

I couldn't believe it, the only woman I loved with all my heart is gone, and I have a daughter? And they were gonna put her up for adoption by tomorrow, holy shit! I called the number that they gave me and hoped that it wasn't too late. After talking to the lady who answered, I received an email with my daughters information. I went through it completely and went to bed as soon as I made it to my house.

~Monday Morning~

I woke up to my phone alarm at 4:30am, I got up, took a shower and got ready to leave. It takes 9 hours to get from L.A to Oregon so I left as soon as possible. It took me a minute to set up my GPS but as that was finished, I backed out of my driveway and headed to pick up Isabelle.

~~~

As I pulled up in front of the orphanage, I turned off my car and climbed out. I heard someone fairly close say "Hey! What the fuck Iz, why'd y- oh" I turned to see a girl with medium, straight, red and black hair behind a taller girl with long wavy blonde hair. I gave them a smile and made my way inside.

~~Isabelle's POV~~

He smiled at us and went into the orphanage. That's when it hit me; could he be my dad? Going by the letter, he's in a band and I've looked up to him since I was 12. It possibly could be him, but maybe it's all just a dream and the letter never said he was in a band. That would suck horribly.

After pulling myself from my thoughts, I made my way inside dragging Mindy along with me. I guess I pulled her out from fangirling because she let out a "Hey!" I don't see the point in fangirling. I mean the guy is human, like the rest of us, it's not like he's some sort of god. The only difference between him and humans like us, is that he's known by way more people.

When inside, Mindy was shown to her room and I was brought to Ms. Garrett's office. "Isabelle, come in sweetie. There's someone here to meet you." when she said that I immediately thought that I was going in for one of those adoption interviews. That thought changed when I saw Andy Biersack standing against the wall, smiling.

Ms. Garrett left the room so that me and Andy could talk. That's when I looked at him and asked him "Are you here to take me home with you?" he gave me a warm smile and said "Yeah, I heard about your mother and I came here as soon as I could." "But, why? I mean, you don't even know me so why would you make such an effort for me?" I honestly didn't understand why he would care for me, he's a rock star and I'm just a loser kid in high school.

"Because when your mom and I were in high school, she left without saying anything and when I got that call yesterday, telling me that the love of my life from high school had a daughter, I knew that you were mine and I just had to come get you. Why would you ask that?" he responded now looking at me with concern in his eyes. "No one has ever cared about me other than mom, not even my only friend shows that she cares, just that she wants to hang out with me." tears now threatening to fall I managed to give him that as my answer.

Right after I finished talking he came over to me and gave me a tight hug saying "I will care for you and love you for the rest of my life, I promise." I hugged him tighter than I already was to show him that I'm happy that he'll take care of me. "Okay get your stuff and we'll go home, alright." he said breaking the hug, I nodded and left the room heading toward the room that contained my things.
