Little Miss Motionless (Chris Motionless's Daughter)

Chapter 1 - Just Me and Lily Now

[Chris's POV]

"Get the fuck out of here, you cruel bitch!!!" I sneered at my now ex-girlfriend.

She grunted, grabbing her suitcase and storming to the front door.

"Fine! Good riddance!! And keep the little retard for all I care!!!!" she said, slamming the door.

I throw a vase at the door since she said that. She has no right using the "R" word on Lily.

I then realize something.

I'm on my own now. Lily's all i have left now.

I go into the living room, seeing she was working on a coloring book, headphones over her ears blocking out all sounds of the fighting that just took place while she listened to 'Abigail', bruises on her arms that Ashley inflicted on her, as well as the ones she had on her body and the healing welts on her legs.

She didn't deserve Ashley's cruelty. I'm a horrible father for not finding out until just yesterday when I was dressing Lily up and noticed the purple bruise on her back and then noticed make up smeared all over my hands.

You can't imagine the rage that i felt when i realized it was her mother.

Ashley was covering it up. How the hell could that woman do this to her only daughter, my daughter?! I blame myself for ever even knowing her.

I kneeled down and gently placed my hand on Lily's shoulder and she looked up at me, smiling at me, her big brown eyes looking up at me as i smiled back, removing the headphones from her little ears.

"You doing okay?" i asked.

She nodded in response and then held up what she was coloring, which was a cat.

"That came out great! You truly are an great artist, Miss Lily Cerulli," i said, and she blushed and hid her face in her hands.

I laugh and pull her into my lap from the kiddie chair as i sat Indian style in the middle of the living room.

"She'll never hurt you again," i said to her, wrapping my arms around her. "And i will never EVER be like her. Okay?"

She smiled again and hugged me tightly, as if to say, "You saved me, Daddy."

One thing about Lily: She can't speak. She was born a mute, and doctors haven't determine if its permanent or not, but it has lasted her 2 years already. She even cries and laughs silently.

But somehow, its as if i can already understand what she wants to say, especially when she points at something or draws it out, or motions me towards something. She's a really smart kid for her young age.

I remember when i first heard Ashley being pregnant with Lily. I was scared out of my mind.

I was already starting a band, only 19, and didn't know shit about parenthood. I wasn't even sure i wanted to be a dad, but then i held Lily at the hospital for the first time, and i realized i wanted to be a father, and i didn't want to let Lily down.

My band started reaching more and more to the top, I was able to stay by her side as much as possible when i wasn't on tour, and I made sure she had everything she needed.

I broke my own promised when i found out what Ashley was doing behind my back. I regret everything I've put Lily through, not knowing the pain she's gone through. I got angry once I realized it.

Now, I want her to know that no matter what, I'm never EVER going to fail her again. 

After a while, i kiss her cheek and leave her on the couch to watch television while i made some dinner, and then heard a knock at the door and opened it to see Ryan and Allie.

"Hey guys, come on in," i said.

"Hey dude, heard the bitch left," Ryan said.

"How did you know?" i asked.

"She sent me and TJ a bunch of hate messages. Bitch is crazy," he said.

"Oh yeah?" i said. "At least Lily can sleep easy now. I still blame myself for letting Ashley do that."

"Chris, it wasn't your fault, none of us knew," Allie said.

Everyone tells me it wasn't my fault, but i still think it is.

"Hey, there's the little niece, come here!" Ryan said as Lily ran in and into his arms, hugging him.

"How've you been, kiddo?" Ryan asked.

Lily responds with a thumbs up, Ryan then kissing her forehead.

The guys love Lily a lot, especially the girls. Frank nearly went ballistic when he found out about what was going on.

"Hey, wanna join for some dinner?" i asked.

"What you got, Cerulli?" Ryan asked as they walked into the house.

"Chicken wings and quesadillas," i said.

Lily claps her hands happily, and we all laugh as we enter the kitchen, Lily returning to her Edgar & Ellen marathon as Allie and Ryan take off their coats and walk with me into the kitchen

She seems to like that show and Invader Zim, as well as re-runs of The Addams Family. I'm guessing she was watching television with TJ once and got interested.

Everyone saids she looks so much like me, the resemblance is remarkable.

I love Lily. She's my entire world, and I want to be the best dad i can be for her..
