I stare at Adison from across the table, "no. There is no way that you are my kid." "My mommy talked about you a lot. Said you really love a band called Blink and you have a tattoo of their bunny." Fuck. "We would watch some of your shows on the computer, but mommy would stop them sometimes saying I can't watch more. I don't know why." Ally showed her who her dad was. But its impossible, Adison can't be my kid. But as I looked at her more closely, she had my eyes and Ally's hair color. Fuck. There's a knock on the door and I quickly get up and run to the door. I answer it to find Matt. "You need to help me fix this." "Jack what's going on, you didn't even tell me on the phone." I step aside and Matt see's Adison at the table. "Jack what did you do." "This is Adison, Adison. This is my friend Matt." "I know you," she smiles up at him. "My mommy showed me you to. You like Mickey, so do I." "Um. Jack. What is she talking about." "Adison is... My daughter." Matt stops himself from yelling at me and stares at me.

Matt pulls me into the kitchen and I keep an eye on Adison, she was humming to herself and playing with her pink bear. "Jack. Jack look at me." Matt snaps his fingers in front of my face and I look back at him. "Was there someone you had sex with a long time ago." "Yeah, I was dating Ally before we officially left Towson. We were in love and then one night we-we-" I'm a fucking idiot. "Are you hungry Matt." "Jack. Jack what is going on." "Okay one night me and Ally had sex, and then a few weeks later she didn't want to see me again and said she hated me. Since then, I haven't seen or heard from her." "How long ago was that?" "About six years ago." "Do you know how old she is." "No." "Sweetie, how old are you." "Six." Matt looks at me and lets out a sigh. "Congrats Jack, you have a daughter."

"Daddy, I'm hungry." I look down behind me and see Adison staring up at me. I don't know how to cook. I have no idea how to take care of a kid. "Well, I'll see you at practice Jack." "Your leaving me!?" "She's your daughter Jack. Not mine." "And what am I supposed to do when its time for practice." "Um, you bring her. Like a responsible parent." Matt leaves and Adison smiles down at me. "Do you want to go out to eat?" "Mommy usually makes breakfast for me." "Why?" "I'm allergic to nuts." "Well um.. daddy doesn't know how to cook. So we'll be going out eat for breakfast. What do you usually eat for breakfast." "Oatmeal with fruit is yummy." "Okay, I know a place you can have that." How on earth did she find me on her own.

We go down stairs to the parking garage and I unlock my car and open the door for her. She stands back and stares at my car while hugging her bear. "Come on, get in." "No car seat. Not safe." I let out a sigh and pick her up and sit her in the middle of the backseat. "Daddy?" I double buckle her in and she stares up at me. She exactly has my eyes. "You'll be safe, okay." "Okay." I close the door and get in, and I drove off. We soon reach a Denny's and I look around before I got out and got her out. "Daddy where are we?" "We are at Denny's." She grabs onto my hand and we walk inside. "Two please," I tell the hostess. "Awe, what a cute little girl. Is she your's?" "Yes." "I'm Adison." "Well hi Adison, you hungry?" She nods, "well come with me and I'll show you two your table." The hostess seats us at our table and I have Adison sit across from me.

"So Adison, where's Ally?" "She's on a business trip for a few months." "Why would she leave you behind?" "She can't take me with her. Its in another country." "Why did she leave you alone?" "She didn't leave me alone, she asked if I wanted to be with my daddy and I said yes." Thats really weird how Ally would leave Adison behind. Wait. Ally has a sister. Sarah. "What about your aunt Sarah?" "She um.. Gone.." "..Gone?" She nods and looks down. Sarah's dead...?

We get to practice, running late because Adison had to use the bathroom twice on the way. "Jack where have you been!?," Soopy asks me. Adison was holding tightly onto my shirt as we walked and Soopy saw her and stopped talking. "Jack why do you have a little girl with you." "Not now." I get to stage and I turn around and get down on my knees to Adison's height. "Okay, stay right here. I'll keep an eye on you at all times." "Okay daddy." I get up and walk over to Bryan who hands me my guitar and looks past me. He was looking at Adison. "I'll explain later okay. Just help me make sure she doesn't run off." I go over to my mic and Alex was warming up. "Jack, who's the-" "I'll explain later." We practice our first song when I feel a two little arms wrap around my leg. I look down and see Adison with tears streaming down her face. I stop playing and so does the guys.

"Adison what's wrong?" "To loud!," she covers her ears. Alex walks over, "Jack. Who is she." I let out a sigh and pick her up, she wraps her arms around my neck. "Alex, guys. I like you to meet my daughter. Adison."
