Thirteen

Vic's POV

As I laid in my daughter's bed hoping she'd wake up soon, I began playing with the curly hair she gets from me.
It hurts to know that someone so young feels like giving up. Now I know how the parents of our fans feel when they find out something heartbreaking like this. Me and the guys feel pain when a fan shows us their scars or gives us their last razor blade and they tell us we're the reason they stopped but, when it's actually your child, it changes your perspective on it completely. Now I understand how my parents felt. You want to do everything in your power to take away this pain they're feeling and just throw it away. Let them be happy again. But it's not your mind so you just have to sit beside them and help them out.

She began moving around a bit and soon a heard a small yawn coming from her and her eyes opened.
"Good morning my love. What do you want for breakfast?" I asked. She gave me a confused look. Probably because only Rachel called her 'my love' and the only thing I've called her was 'Scarlett' and a few choice of words to my brother.
"Why you in my bed?" She asked resting on her elbows and looking up at me.
"Uh I don't know" I said getting up. I knew this was a bad idea.
"I didn't say I didn't want you here. I was just asking" I nodded and sat down at the foot of her bed.
"You feeling okay?" I asked her. She slowly nodded, still looking confused.
"I should get dressed for school" she said sitting up.
"It's a Friday scar. If you don't want you don't have to" I told her honestly.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing. Just you had a bad night and I wouldn't want you going to school upset or something you know. Whenever I was down in middle school I would tell my parents and they would let me"
"But you're not like nana and pops"
"I can try. I mean I may not be able to bake cookies like nana or tell funny jokes like pops but, I can try you know"
"Did someone die" she asked bluntly.
"N-no why would-oh. You think because I'm being nice to you, something bad happened. Well no. Nothing happened. I've just decided to become more of a father to you seeing as you're my only child. The only important girl in my life"
"I thought Danielle was important"
"I just met Danielle yesterday. She doesn't compare to you. I promise darling" her face looked relaxed. Like she's been waiting to hear that for a while.
"Did you decide what to wanna eat?" She shrugged.
"How about I whip up something I know you'll love. Jess use to make this all the time when we came home from tours and I'm sure you'll love it. Okay" she nodded and I smiled at her getting up from the bed and leaving.

Scarlett's POV

That was odd. Vic has never been this nice to me before. Am I in trouble? Am I sick? Did my doctors call him and tell him I was dying or something? I pulled my iPod from under my pillow and saw a bunch of messages from the group chat asking where I was. I got scared. I didn't know how to respond. What if they get mad?

Me: srry guys. My dad let me stay home today for some reason.
Danny: u left me hanging this morning -.-
Taylor: ya not cool scar.
Me: oh. I'm sorry.
Austin: just leave it alone guys. Scarlett if ur not here Monday ur out. Got it?
Me: yes

Jheez. What a group. I wonder why they got mad I wasn't there.
I heard Vic on the phone with someone so I got up and out of bed heading to the hallway to hear his conversation.
"Yeah I'm still free tomorrow" what?"No don't bring any money, my treat for a pretty little lady" so he is going out with Danielle.
"Yeah I live alone, I have a little brother but he lives with our parents so it's just me myself and I"  that's when my heart sunk. He didn't want anyone to know about me? Really.
"I gotta go. I gotta walk my dog. I'll pick you up at 7 okay?" And then he hung up but I ran back to my room and slammed the door.
"Scarlett!"
"No!" I screamed louder than him. He began banging on the door but I put my desk chair under the knob.
"Scarlett please let me in"
"Go talk to Danielle. She's clearly more important" I shouted. The banging stopped for a second.
"Please let me in" the knob began turning but it wouldn't budge because of the chair. I remember my mom would do it when there were people in our house for some reason. She'd hide us in my room or the guest room and do it. Guess her small habit saved my ass.
"Scarlett Isabelle"
"Come in and I'll jump out the window" I threatened opening it just in case. There was a small ledge that I would be able to rest my feet on so its not technically jumping out.
"Don't you dare miss"
"Then don't come in"

"Scarlett Isabelle Crawford Fuentes! Open the fucking door!" He screamed.
"No!" I screamed louder.
"Leave me alone!"
"Why would I leave my suicidal daughter in her room alone! Are you thinking at all?" What?
"What?" I heard him sigh.
"Open the door"
"I refuse to open that door unless Rachel is behind it"
"Well Rachel isn't coming back, okay?"
"Then I'm not opening the door" I heard foot steps and I knew I won this so I closed my window and sat on my bed scrolling through Twitter.
@isabellecrawford
Vic doesn't exactly like that I have Crawford in my user, or that I have my middle name in it but as my name I have Scarlett-Isabelle so he should be happy with that. I use to have Scarlett Crawford as my Instagram name but I changed it. He always wants me using Fuentes for everything but that won't happen anytime soon. I like my last name and it reminds me of my mother.

I heard a knock on my door about an hour later and I groaned.
"Vic leave me-"
"It's not Vic my love" I threw my iPod onto my pillow and ran to the door unlocking it and hugging Rachel.
"I missed you. I know it hasn't been a long time but I missed you a lot" she hugged my back and pet my hair like she always did.
"I missed you too beautiful" I let go and we walked into my room and she sat on the bed.
"But I'm not gonna stay long. I have to tell you something" she patted the spot right beside her and I sat there looking at her.
"Okay. So Vic called me and explained everything that happened last night and how you got mad at him this morning for making plans with another girl for tomorrow. Sweetie I'm not mad at your father, He deserves someone who makes him happy. I guess I just wasn't that person. I'm still gonna be here for you and love you like you're my child okay but I want you to at least give this new girl a shot. I said your dad isn't a relationship person but maybe Danielle? Is that her name? Danielle will make him change for the better. Maybe she's a good hearted person"
"She doesn't even know about me. He told her he lives alone. Am I really that terrible of a child?" She shook her head.
"No. No you're not okay? Trust me. And if you ever need someone you have my number I told you this. Message me and I'll pick you up" I nodded.
"Please be good for Vic. Just because I'm not here doesn't mean you have to act up okay?" I nodded.
"Thank you" she smiled at me.
"Now if you excuse me, I left my sister in the parking lot. I gotta go" I nodded again and she left.
"And remember. This isn't goodbye. It's a see you later because you will see me again scar" and then she left. Again.

Told you Rachel would come back soon.
Do you think Vic is gonna become a better father? Or will he call someone to calm Scarlett down again?
How do you think Danielle will react when she finds out Vic has a kid and lives with him? And btw when Vic was at the office, Danielle didn't know his case so she doesn't know anything about him. Just that he's in a band. Just clearing that up for everyone.
Let me know what you thought about this. And I'm sorry this chapter sucked, the next one will be better
