Chapter fifty eight

"I can't do this Gus, I really really can't do this"

"Take deep breaths baby"

"What if he thinks I'm slutty? What if he doesn't like my tattoos? What if he doesn't like you? Oh god what if he doesn't even turn up?"

"Woah okay you're not slutty, you look stunning, your tattoos are like a work of art, who cares if he doesn't like me? And this is a low key show for a 100 people max, you'll spot him immediately once he does turn up"

"You're right, I'm overthinking it"

"Let's go, we've got an hour before the guards start letting people in. He should be here soon"

Gus and I entered UNO's through the back to where the owner Marco greeted us; he was like an older brother to me when I lived here. Wrapping us both up in his arms, he thanked us repeatedly before scurrying off to the kitchen to yell at people. He liked to do that...believe me.

"Ima go do sound check, you stay calm and look out for him"

"Easier said then done my love"

Gus rolled his eyes and kissed my cheek as he jumped on the small strange and began talking to his DJ; I on the other hand was at the bar on the verge of a panic attack. It's not everyday that you get to meet your birth father, I just watched Gus practise his set...that was until I saw him look at the door and smile.

I saw him.

He was tall (around 6'2 I'd say) and tatted as hell, he had the same very pale skin tone and eyes. It was like looking at a 40 year old Male version of me; it was so weird. I was looking at my fucking father.

"Hi"

"You're Emily aren't you? You're my daughter?"

"That's me"

Like a cliche movie scene, we ran into each other's arms and clung onto one another as hard as we could. The second I felt tears on my neck, I let my own fall as it hit me where I was and with who. My boyfriend's show with my fucking birth father.

He set me down and hugged me one last time before wiping the tears from his eyes; taking me in and observing me.

"How are you my daughter? You're so beautiful"

I blush and don't say anything because I don't know what to; I really hate myself for being awkward.

"So a guy called Gus contacted me, is he your friend?"

"Um, well we're a bit more than that...........he's my boyfriend"

"I know it's not my place but I can't help but feel over protective of you already, is the guy here?"

"Actually, this is his show"

"You're dating Lil Peep?"

"Yeah, before you judge though he's ama-"

"Calm down sweetie, I'm a fan of his"

Best. Fucking. Dad. Ever.

*Gus' POV*

Everyone had soon settled down and I smiled as I spotted Em and her father right in the centre of the crowd. I adjusted my jacket and picked up the mic, she's gonna lose her shit when she hears this.

"How are y'all doing?"

I got a scream as a response.

"I got a surprise for a special girl in my life, this is a song I worked on for her"

The music started and I let the beat  carry me as I let the lyrics flow outta me.

"Loving you is like a fairytale"

From the crowd I saw Em's eyes watering and her smile beamed up at me, this is what I lived for.

"Sex with you is like I'm dreaming"

Even from the stage I could see her rosey blush heat up her cheeks, her father though looked like he couldn't be cringing more. Sorry pop.

"And if I'm taking this the wrong way, I hope you know that you can tell me whatever you're thinking, It's when you put me in the spotlight"

Sadly the song was over when an idea flooded into my head; it was one hell of a light bulb moment. Yeah she was gonna hate me for it but it was gonna be cute as fuck.

"So have y'all heard of my girl Em?"

The crowd roared and she looked somewhat mortified.

"Well she's right there and I was wondering if you'll help me get her up here?"

For a moment I thought I was Moses from how quickly the crowd parted to let Em through, there was nothing I loved more than seeing my fans support her. Who has the best fans? Me Bitch.

I pulled her up on stage and passed her a microphone as she stood there shellshocked; it was like it was her first time on stage.

"Wanna preform some songs with me baby?"

"I would love too"

I knew she would loosen up.

//////////////////////////

The last person had left UNO's and I watch from a distance Em and her dad Bradley bond; the last thing I wanna do is get in the way, this was her time after all. I didn't want to ruin it.

I was about to go and order a beer when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket; I wished I hadn't made eye contact with Em the second I saw who it was and felt all colour drain from my face.

Layla😐
Peep, we need to talk. Meet me in the alleyway behind UNO's in 5. Come alone.

————————————
