Ashlyn's P.O.V

"I totally agree!" I exclaimed to my best friend, Reese. We were talking about some of the girls *cough*snobs* in our class who were picking on us.

"Especially her." Reese pointed to the leader of the snobs surrounded by the other popular kids. She was wearing clothes that exposed a lot of her skin, and she had a very fake tan.

HONK HONK

That honking noise got everyone's attention. I turned around and saw Uncle Nath. I said goodbye to Reese followed by a hug. I walked towards his car but was stopped by someone tapping my shoulder. I turned around and saw one of those popular girls. I think her name was Jane or something.

"Yes?" I asked her, clearly not in the mood.

"Is that THE Nathan Sykes from The Wanted?" She asked in an annoying high pitch voice.

I looked Uncle Nath and saw that he was occupied with his phone. "Yeah."

"OMG! You're so lucky!" She exclaimed attracting more people. Just great...

"What's he doing picking you up?" Another person asked.

"He's my uncle." I simply answered.

Soon I was swarmed by more people who started asking more questions. I just backed out and got into the car. I tossed my bag to backseats followed by a huge sigh.

"Since when were you popular?" Uncle Nath asked.

"Never. They saw you in the car and start asking a millions of questions."

"Was that Liam's daughter you were talking to?" He asked as he drove away.

"Yup." I answered him.

"Do they know about your dad and being famous and all?" He asked and I nodded. Reese and I wanted to be normal kids. We kept the fact the fact that our dads are pop stars a secret otherwise we would never get peace at school.

"Looks like it's just you and me this weekend. Your parents are own tour with the rest of the band and Cole. Lucas and Flynn are out of town for some football tournament. Emily and Bree volunteered to be camp counsellors this summer ." He explained.

"How lovely..." I said with dripping sarcasm.

"We're home. And don't pretend that you don't love me." He said as he parked the car in the drive way.!

"Whatever floats your boat." I fumbled with the house keys for a while till a click. I'M FINALLY HOME! "Are you any good with songwriting?"

"No, I'm the worst at it. That's why I'm able to write hit singles." He answered with sarcasm. "Why you ask?"

"I need to write and compose and sing a song for music class." I answered him as I rummaged through the fridge for something decent to eat. I settled for an apple and plopped myself on the couch in the living room.

"Well you have the voice. You just need the lyrics and leave the composition to me." Uncle Nath told me. We moved to the studio like room where my dad used to (and ocasionally) write songs. It was quite spacious and since it was upstairs, it had an awesome view for inspiration.

We started random writing lyrics didn't make sense on a piece of paper. Uncle Nath tried telling me stories in hope that it would spark an idea. Most of them involved him trying to get a girl or got his heart broke.

Nothing so far. Sigh.

After an hour of goofing around, I finally got and scribbled down the lyrics in five minutes with messy handwriting. I passed it to Uncle Nath who was very impressed. He jot down to the right piano notes on to his music sheet. I began to sing with my guitar not caring that I was nervous that Uncle Nath was here.

"Nice song." I heard a familiar Irish accent from behind commented. I turned around and saw my dad standing at the doorway with my mum by his side.

"Dad?" I asked in shock. I thought he was on tour. "I thought you were on tour."

"I am. Just got a one week break to spend time with families then we're touring the rest of Europe for a two to three weeks." He explained after coming in and sat next to me.

"I helped improved it by a bit." Uncle Nath piped in.

I rolled my eyes and playful threw a pillow at him. "Shut up. You just played piano while I sang."

"Sissy's voice is beautiful!" My five year old brother, Cole piped

"Where's Flynn?" Mum asked as she noticed how quiet the house was without him.

"In Sweden for the Gothia Cup. He'll be home in a hour or so." I explained. "Emily volunteered to be come a camp counsellor for month or so. So basically I'm the only child for a while,"

"Speaking of traveling, would you like to come on tour with us?" Dad asked me.

I thought about it for a while. "What I am suppose to tell people? 'I wont be coming to school because my I'm going on tour with my dad'?"

"Leave that to me. So would do you say, kiddo?" He asked giving me puppy eyes.

"I'll think about it." I answered with a sweet smile. He seemed relieved as we continued the conversation till Flynn ruined the peace.

"We won! We won!" Flynn declared as he burst in with Lucas.

"Yeah buddy! Give me a hug!" Dad exclaimed as those two embraced. "When was the last time you had a shower?"

"Before my last match." He answered with a sheepish smile.

"I would like you to stay away from me." I requested as I moved closer to mum.

"What about you?" Uncle Nath asked Lucas who looked as guilty as Flynn. "Don't answer that."
