Ashton

I don't know why I agreed to take Lucy for the night but I had a feeling she wouldn't be safe from what Tessa had said. I was quite shocked that she had a boyfriend and that he hurts her. Lucy shouldn't see that and Tessa shouldn't have to go through with it. I would never lay a hand on her like that.

"Daddy." I heard Lucy's sweet little voice say

"Yes baby girl."

"Is mummy going to be alright?" She asked

"I don't know. But I'm sure she'll be fine." I said not sounding so sure myself.

Lucy nodded slowly as we arrived at the hotel. As We got into the elevator a though ran through my mind. How would I explain to the boys about Lucy? I'd have to tell the truth now, wouldn't I? Oh god, kill me now.

We reached the floor where my room was and to my surprise all the boys were inside. This should be fun. As I walked in with Lucy they all stared right at me. I could tell Lucy was uncomfortable.

"Uh dude where did you find the kid?" Luke asked

"Did you steal her from her mother." Michael laughed

I shook my head and sighed. Here goes nothing.

"I didn't steal her from her mother, I offered to look after for the night."

"Why on earth would you do That?" Calum asked

I looked at Lucy then at the boys.

"Because she's my daughter." I mumbled

"What?!" They all said in unison

I stayed silent for a few seconds before I spoke again. I couldn't think of what to say.

"Wait hold up. Isn't that Tessa's daughter." Calum asked

"Tessa has a daughter?" Luke said confused

"You saw Tessa?" Michael asked

I nodded answering their questions. I knelt down to Lucy. She looked at me with those big brown eyes. I told her to go and watch some tv while I spoke to the boys. She nodded as did as she was told. I got up off the ground to be faced by 3 boys waiting for an explanation.

"Care to explain how you have a daughter." Luke asked with a serious tone.

I gulped. This was gonna be hard. I took a deep breath.

"She's mine and Tessa's. Tessa told me she was pregnant 4 years ago and I didn't take the news so well. I freaked out and left her."

"You left her!? Ashton that's a dick move."

"Not only that. I told her to choose between me and the baby." I mumbled

Michael walked up to me and punched me right in my eye. I didn't react. I knew I deserved it.

"Tessa is a great girl and you fucked it up." Michael whisper yelled

"Im trying to fix things." I pleaded

Michael shook his head.

"Im off to the studio. Meet you guys there." He said as he left.

Calum and Luke stood there in silence. Now they know the truth. Do they hate me?

"Ashton I understand you're trying to make things right now. But what you did was not cool." Luke finally spoke

"But we will help you if you need it. Now introduce us to this little cutie" Calum exclaimed

I cracked a small smile and called Lucy back into the room. She came running with her curly locks bouncing with every step.

"Meet my friends Calum and Luke." I said to her as I pointed to both boys.

"Hi." She squeaked

"Hello and what's your name?" Luke asked

"Lucy Rose Vincent. But you can call me Lulu." She said proudly.

"Well it's nice to meet you Lulu." Calum said.

"Nice to meet you too. What happened the the other guy." She said

"He went to the recording studio. Which we need to go to now." Luke replied

"Can I come."

"Of course." Calum said

I took hold of Lucy's hand and we all went to the recording studio.
We were there for at least 5 hours recording songs. Lucy had fallen alseep on the couch. She looked so peaceful. Michael had been giving me evil glares since we arrived. I think it's because he's always had a crush on Tessa and I hurt her, not in the way that this new asshole she calls a boyfriend does. I just hurt her emotionally. But I'm trying to fix that and I hope Mikey can see that. I really do. And I hope that Tessa will take me back and we can raise Lucy together.
