*Ruby's POV*

I woke up to the screams of two men. I shot up and looked around the room to find Billie and Tre standing over me, now laughing.

"God damn you two! I hate you!" I laughed, stepping out of my blanket. Everyone went quiet, looking down at my bare legs. I blushed and scrambled to get my jeans, throughing them on and hitting Tyler, causing him to fall off the couch.

"Morning kiddos! Sorry to wake you up there Ruby." Billie Joe awkwardly stared at me like he'd known me since I was born.

I smiled, "Yeah a little more quiet wake up call would have made me less of a bitch." I sarcastically spat and went into the bathroom to change back into my shirt. I walked out, Tre standing with Tyler, talking to him secretly. I walked a bit closer and being the little shit that I am, I eavsdropped.

"....she's what?"

"..yeah I know it's hard to understand but Billie Joe had a daughter." Tre whispered.

He had a daugter? Wonder what she's like.

"...so you're saying I like Billie Joe's daughter?" Tyler questioned. He looked my way and I froze.

What the hell does he mean he has a crush on Billie Joe's daughter. He has a crush on me, he told me. But it must be someone else. It has to be.

I breathed and looked at Tre. "Hey. Sharing secrets over here then?" I smiled, playing it cool.

Tre seemed to have let out a breathe as he smiled. "Y-yeah. Uh I need to talk to Billie Joe. You two hang out." and with that, he left.

Tyler sat on the couch, motioning me to sit with him, "So..." he breathed, staring into space.

"I'm gonna go talk to Billie Joe-" I said getting up. Tyler grabbed my wrist, holding me back.

"I don't think that's a good idea." he said.

"Why not? I just wanna talk to my idol before I leave." I confessed. Tyler sighed in defeat and let me go.

I walked out of Tre's dressing room and went in search of Billie. I passed a bodyguard.

"Morning Miss Armstrong." he greeted. I stopped and stared at him for a minute. Well watched him walk down the hallway and around the corner. That was the weirdest thing ever.

I made my way and found his room. I knocked but no one answered. I slowly turned the knob and heard another conversation.

"....Billie you have to tell her sometime."

"Her mom didn't want me in her life. I sure as hell can't go up to her and say 'Oh Ruby by the way I'm your father.' I can't do that-"

My heart stopped beating. I stumbled, making the dressing room door open all the way. Both Billie and Tre looked at the door, paniced.

Billie came towards me. I snapped out of my shock. "G-get away from me?" I demanded, but it came out as more of a question. "Y-you left m-me and my mother. You c-caused me so m-much pain!" I yelled. Billie just stood there, like a wounded animal.

"Ruby-"

"Don't you fu-fucking dare." I stuttered, tears now down my cheeks. I ran out of the room, ignoring the calls of my name from Billie, Tre, and now Tyler. I ran out of the arena and into the parking lot, sobbing.

I put my head in my hands and cried. I finally got calmed down after 20 minutes and called my mom.

"M-mom?" I stuttered.

*Rachel's POV*

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I knew as soon as I saw it was Ruby, she'd found out. I answered the phone.
