Chapter 13: You Can't Win This Fight

Lex's POV:

The three of us were on our way back to the hotel after lunch and the hotel was now back in sight. We'd gone to just a small restaurant which wasn't too busy but not too empty either, there was just the perfect amount of people there. It had gone well and there wasn't actually any awkward silences for once. Matt and Emeli had asked me about things like what were my favorite things, did I like Huntington beach so far, was I looking forward to the vacation just stuff like that, it was nice. I never had conversations like this with Val, she wasn't interested in the slightest about what I was doing in life and I hated it but I was used to it. It was strange now to be around people who actually cared about me and wanted to spend time with me.

"well now that you two are talking a bit more I think I'm going to go find the girls and have a drink with them. I'll see you at dinner or just before okay?"

"sure babe, I'll see you later"

"hmm, yeah okay". With that Emeli was off to find the others and matt turned towards me.

"so kid, what do you want to do? It's up to you"

"um back to the room, I'm fucking exhausted"

"I bet I can beat you back"

"you don't stand a chance old man!" with that I was off bursting through the front door of the hotel and racing through the corridors, I had to beat him! I could hear his heavy foot steps getting closer and louder as every second passed though.

"ahh!" I was took by surprise as he suddenly scooped me up out of nowhere and carried on running. "hey put me down, I wanted to win"

"sorry but this 'old mans' going to win today huh?" We both began to laugh loudly again and I'm sure the whole hotel could probably hear us, I think it'll be a miracle if we don't get kicked out of this place before the end of the two weeks!

"did nobody ever teach you that cheatings bad?" he asked me with a grin as he opened the door to our room.

"fuck off Matt" I said with a chuckle as I passed through the door. I noticed his expression changed though he suddenly looked kind of sad and confused. Fuck! I called him Matt again! I just can't get my head around the fact that he is my dad. I still see him as M Shadows the singer of my favorite band and not Matt sanders my dad. I just can't help it.

"I'm going for a shower and then I'm going to see if I can get a nap in before dinner tonight, I'll see you later"

"er, sure. I'll be around here somewhere no doubt I'm too lazy to go looking around anywhere else"

"see you later then Lex"

Fuck sake! I thought we'd gotten past the awkward stage and once again I've fucked it up, good going Lex, well done! I walked out onto the balcony and threw myself down on one of the chairs letting out a sigh. I put my earphones in and let my music play to push away reality.

Matts POV:

I noticed that she kept calling me Matt and not dad I know I should expect it, she's not used to me being her father and she did only just find out that I was her dad not too long ago. I couldn't imagine how she must be feeling at the minute moving away from everything she knows to go with the father she couldn't remember and then find out her family was her favorite band. All I can say is that she must be feeling pretty damn fucked up! Even with me knowing all this though it still hurt every time she said Matt and not dad, it's like I mean she calls Zacky her uncle.

This afternoon had gone well before that I just wish I hadn't been so fucking stupid and messed it up by acting like a child over the fact that she called me by my name and not dad. After I have my shower I'll make sure I go speak to her I don't want her to be upset or anything because I know she had seen the look on my face it was clear by her expression and she couldn't have wanted to get away any faster.
