Chapter 1: What Does The Future Hold?

"How many times have I told you this was going to happen Alexia Lauren Sanders? I told you to watch your behavior in that school but you just couldn't listen could you? What do you want me to do now, move you to another school? This will be the third now. It's about time you got yourself together and realized you're going to need to do something with your life, if you don't take things seriously you're going to be working in some dive of a strip club! Are you happy with that? Is that what you want to do with your life become some dumb whore?" my mom Val roared at me as I sat in our kitchen. After she said that last sentence though I couldn't control my anger, I exploded!

"You're calling me a fucking whore mom? I got expelled not jumped into every fucking guys bed, what has that got to do with anything? You have to overreact with every single little thing. Do you not think I get fucking sick of it, can I ever do anything right in your eyes?"

"Overreact Lexie? Are you fucking kidding me? I've dealt with your attitude all your life shouldn't it be me whose sick of it, I'm the one always getting called into the school having to deal with the embarrassment of having a daughter like you! You..."

"Embarrassment mom, fucking embarrassment? Is that all I am to you? I'm glad I'm such an achievement for you, how could you even say that mom? Sometimes I wish I had someone who even gave a fuck about me instead of just their work but no of course I'm stuck with an unloving workaholic mother like you!"

" I tell you what Lexie, if that's what you want, someone else why don't you go live with your father? Id be glad to be rid of you the way you act, you're like a fucking un-tame 5 year old!

I took in my moms words and thought about it, I hadn't seen my dad since I was 5 years old that was 11 years ago. I could be barely even remember him now but I did only see him in the summer breaks for a few weeks. I guess I never really knew him that well and mom never mentioned him so I'd be fucking glad to escape her! He must be a better parent than her I need to give this a shot!

" I tell you what mom, I'll fucking take your offer! Call him and tell him I'll be there tomorrow, I'm certain he'd be a better parent than you anyway, he probably actually gives a shit about somebody other than themselves! "

I stomped out the room slamming the door I'm so glad I won't need to be dealing with her anymore! Its always been me, me , me with her, I can't wait to leave now and not have to see her anymore.

I pulled my suitcases out from under my bed and threw them on top of it shoving all my belongings into them. I don't care if my clothes are creased the sooner I get to my dads house the better I'll sort everything once I'm there. Things can only get better, right?

*Matt's P.O.V*

*ring ring, ring ring, ring ring*

I jumped up leaving the guys to go pick up the house phone, wondering who it could possibly be. Nobody calls that thing anymore if anyone needs me they call my cell. Quickly picking it up and I answered it with curiosity...

"Hello?"

"Matt it's Val, I know you haven't heard from me in over 10 years but it's about Alexia." Fucking hell Val's called, I've not heard from her in forever. Wait she said it's about Alexia, there better not be something wrong!

"What's happened Val is she okay? Is she hurt? Just tell me I can be with her if she's hurt, she's my daughter!" I answered her in a panic.

"Matt calm down she's not hurt but there is something you need to know, okay?"

"Yeah Val just tell me now!" I was beginning to get annoyed could she not just spit it out already?

" Well umm Matt she's decided she wants to live with you now. She's been in trouble in school and we had a big argument and I just can't deal with her anymore. You need to take her!"

"I need to take her? She's not a fucking dog that you can just put in the pound Val! Have you heard yourself? So what you want me to just take her in and you never see her again? Is that what you want?" I spat back in anger down the phone, I can't believe she's just dropping this on me! Fuck, I'm happy I'd get to see Alexia again but Val thinks she can just hand her off to me, is she fucking dumb?

"You aren't listening to me Matt. You never heard what she said, she doesn't want me anymore she only wants you. She told me to let you know that she'd be at your house in the morning. I wish you luck Matthew, you're definitely going to need it!"

*click*

After that she just hung up the phone. I processed the news in my head and realized I'd have my daughter back in less than 12 hours, I've been waiting for this day for 11 years now. The one where I get my Alexia back to see her again and this time she isn't leaving! A huge smile spread across my face but I forgot the 4 guys were here until Zacky piped up with " What's got you smiling so much Shad's, is it a girl?" I could feel how big my dimples were by now, fuck I must be smiling a lot!

"To answer your question ZV it is a girl that's got me smiling but it won't be what you think!"

"So spit it out already man, we haven't got all day" Brian chipped in with.

"Fuck off Syn" I grinned back at him with. "Guys, I get my baby girl back tomorrow. For good, she's coming to live with me. I get my little Lexie back!"

A look of shock then happiness covered their faces, they were as happy as me! The guys had always loved Lexie and had missed her as much as me, after all they were her uncles and they took that roll seriously! I'm sure they couldn't wait to get her back in their lives to. There is one thing I know though, none of us guys will be getting any sleep tonight knowing that Lexie will be walking through that front door in only a matter of hours!

I couldn't have had any better news in my life! I'm over the moon I'm going to have my baby girl back in my life, I would do anything for that girl!
