*Adelyn's POV*

When we got to the giant house there were tons of people. I couldn't believe so many people could fit in one house.

'Holy hell, dad, who's house is this?'

I asked my dad, still amazed. He laughed at me.

'Chris Cerulli, from Motionless in White.'

I jumped up & down doing my fan girl dance.

'I'm in Chris Cerulli's house?! I'm going to be partying with hella bands tonight! I'm going to be drinking with my dad!'

I screamed. Dad laughed. Crissy Henderson walked up to me.

'Oh my.. You're beautiful.'

She said, a tear escaping her eye. I leaned in & hugged her. I walked over to her as she grasped my hand. She walked me to her table.

'This is my wonderful hubby, Ronnie. Ronnie, this is Jake Pitt's daughter Adylen. She is a huge fan. She loves you a lot & i think we'll be spending a lot of time with her because i love her.'

Crissy said, Ronnie just smiled at me.

'Hello, Adylen.'

I waved.

'I should be getting back to my dad, it was nice meeting you. I'll be back over in a few!'

I said. Walking over to meet my dad. We had an absolute blast. Dad didn't know what he was getting into by letting me have alcohol.

'Daddy, will you please carry me to the car.. I wanna go home.'

I said, slurring my words. I was so drunk that i couldn't even talk. Dad picked me up & we started our drive. We drove to Crissy's house to pick up Jaydelyn. Hmm. I used her full name. I never really used her full name. Dad walked in & got her & her things & came back out. Once we got home i passed out once my head hit the pillow.

*The next morning.*

It felt like World War 6 was going on in my head. There was so much pounding & i could hear the music from last night in my head. I was jostled awake by the vomit moving up my stomach into my throat. I ran into the bathroom connected to my room & heaved all of the left over drinks from the night before. The hangover would be a lot heavier from drinking on an empty stomach.

'Jesus fucking Christ.'

I said, mumbling to myself as i lent my head on the toilet bowl. I realized i was freezing. I then remembered that Cam from Asking Alexandria gave me his hoodie last night when i was cold. I got up & put it on. I took a picture, posting it on Twitter & Instagram. Using the same caption.

@CamAfuckingA, I got cold & used your hoodie right after i threw up. Come cuddle?

I tweeted & instagramed. That was a poor choice because my beloved father walked in with a pissed off looking Ashley Purdy seconds later.

'What the fuck is going on with you & Cameron from Asking Alexandria & why the fuck are you wearing his hoodie?!'

Ash screamed in my face. I couldn't really answer that. Because in all honesty, i didn't know. I liked Cam, yes. But could things with us work? I was a fat cow who was always depressed & purged her food before it settled & he was this perfect person.. I don't know if things could happen between us, but before i could think too much on it, Ashley was in my face.

'Hello!'

'Oh, nothings going on. I got cold last night when we went for a smoke so he gave me his hoodie.'

I said to Ash. He started to say something when i was getting a phone call. Cameron. I started blushing & my smile widened. His photo ID was a picture of us hugging at the party last night. I hit answer.

Me ; Heller?
Him ; Hello, beautiful, did you really want cuddles?
Me ; Yes because im cold & hungover & Ash is already here fucking yelling at me.
Him ; Hahahaha. I'm on my way, baby girl.
Me ; Mmmmm. Yaaaay, can you pick me up a pack of cigarettes too. I'll pay you when you get here.
Him ; You're not paying me but i'll pick them up.
Me ; Fine, but i'm sticking the money in your pocket.

I hung up on him then. I smiled.

'Uncle Ash, quit being so protective, i'm still your little girl. Don't worrrrry. Daddy. Cam's coming over, is that okay?'

I asked with a wide smile, he nodded yes. That reminded me. I was 16. I was going to be needing my license soon!

'Dad! You know, i'm 16. I'm gonna be getting my license soon, i wanna big truck.'

I said. Snuggling into my dad.

'I know, baby. When your hangover wears off, we'll go get your temps & buy you a truck.'

He said. My world was all right right now. I was so happy.

'Thank you dad!'

I screamed. I went downstairs & sat on Uncle CC's lap.

'Uncle CC...'

I said. He just rubbed my back as i leaned my head against his chest. I dozed off to sleep while i was waiting for Cam. I was having a dream. Mom was there. She had white wings. She cupped my face in her hand.

'Be strong. I see now what you have done & what you have gone through. Don't do it alone. You're father loves you & Jaydylen very much. Open up to him. It will get better, my princess. Mommy loves you.'

I wanted to tell her that it wasn't that easy & that i wasn't strong. I wanted to tell her that i missed her & i needed her, but she flew away into no where. I woke up to Cam sitting next to me & CC.

'Where's Dad... I need to speak with him now..'

I said, tears streaming down my face.

'I'll go find him.'

Cam said leaving CC & I alone. He didn't say a word, he just rubbed my back.

'I saw mom..'

I said, his hands stiffened on my back & came to a complete stop. He turned me around & looked at my face. He was about to say something but i cried more. Dad walked in just then.

'Daddy can i talk to you?'

I said.

'Of course baby. Come on.'

He carried me to my room & sat on my bed with my head in his lap.

'I saw mom. She told me to open up to you... So...'

I got up & walked into my closet. I shut the door & put on a pair of sports shorts.

'You need to see what i've been hiding. The bullies, & names pushed me so far. Words hurt like blades. Every scar has a story.'

I said right before i lifted my shorts, exposing all of my cuts on my thighs. Dad gasped, letting a tear escape his eye.

'I eat my food, but i throw it up within a half an hour later before it settles... I have social anxiety & suffer from SEVERE depression..'

I said before walking back into the closet to put on Cam's PJ's he gave me last night. I laid back down on dad & cried.

'It's okay.. We're gonna help you through.. We're gonna help you through...'

Dad cooed into my ear until i stopped crying. I wiped my eyes & walked downstairs. I sat next to Cam. He smiled at me & placed his warm, soft, beautiful lips on my cheek.

'Hi, beautiful.'

He said. I smiled cuddling into his side. Dad got a phone call & walked into the other room. When he came back in he started talking.

'That was Lisa, the social worker.. They want to have a funeral for your mom, tomorrow... & I'm not missing that for the sake of all of us. So we need to start packing. Cam, i want you to be there for Adylen if you can.'

Dad said quickly. A tear escaped my eye. Cam wiped it with the pad of his thumb. He didn't take his eyes off me, but he replied to my father.

'I wouldn't miss it..'

We all packed up in the cab, everyone & drove to the airport. Once we got on the plane i stayed silent. I was going back to Elkveiw.. I never thought i'd ever have to be back there... Especially not like this.. The amount of missing her.. I just miss her so much. She was my best friend, my hero, my care giver. She was everything. I couldn't even begin to imagine how Jay felt. She was 6 years old & was stronger than me. We got to the hotel.

'Get ready while i help Jay..'

Dad said, his voice lingering with sadness. This was going to break him too. I nodded & went to the bathroom. The first thing i did was take out my shark bites & septum piercing. I kept in my tongue ring & my gauges because they would look nasty without the rings in. I put on the pencil skirt & white blouse that Sammi lent me. I shaved my legs & put on the 3 inch heels. I straightened my hair without teasing it & put on my makeup lightly. I walked out of the bathroom sadly.

'Daddy, i'm ready.'

We all walked to the cab & drove to the church that the service would be held in. We would be seeing some distant family there. Was i ready to see them? Was i ready to see my dead mother in a casket? The answer was no. But it needed to happen. We walked into the church & i saw my grandmother. She instantly saw me.

'Its nana.'

Jay whispered. I nodded to her while nana came to us.

'Addy, you look beautiful in that outfit. So much better than that emo stuff you usually wear.'

She said.

'Nana. Not now. This is mom's funeral. Stop it. But incase you've never met them. This is my dad, Jake Pitts. My uncle CC, Uncle Andy, Uncle Ashley, Uncle Jinxx, Cam, & Sammi.'

I said. She smiled & said her hellos. She took Jay to play. I knew what i had to do. I didn't want to do it because i didn't know if i would be able to handle it. I walked to the picture board first.

'Arianna Regretts.

Loved Mother, Daughter & much more.'

I read. There were pictures on the board, lots. I assume that Nana made the board because the pictures all consisted of Jay & mom & me & mom. I smiled at all the pictures. Then i heard a muffled cry. I looked behind me.

'Daddy what is it?'

I asked. He pointed to the picture in the middle. Mom was dressed really nice. It was a prom picture.

'Who is that guy, can you guess?'

Then it hit me. I hugged him.

'Was that you...?'

He nodded slowly. We walked back over to the casket slowly. I wish i didn't have to do this. The tears came to my eyes before we were even there. I saw one look at her beautiful face & i lost it. When dad saw me cry, he cried because he hadn't looked at her yet.

'Look at her dad. It'll kill you if you don't.'

I said looking away. He took a look at the beautiful lady in the casket & started to cry.

'Are you ready to hear the story of your mother & i?'

He said, grabbing mom's hand. We stood there while he told the story because there wasn't too many people at the funeral just yet.

'I was in 9th grade. It was my first week of school at this new school & i didn't know anyone. No one would talk to me. So i was surprised when this stunning girl came & sat next to me. & that was how it all began. She was 17 when she had you. But she never told me, she ran off. I wish she would've stayed.. Things could've been different.'

Dad said, tears pouring down his face now. I started to cry again. I really missed her. She was everything to me.

'Daddy, can we just come back to the casket a little later? I can't right now.'

I said.

'Yeah, we'll bring Jay over in a little bit whenever your crazy grandmother comes back. Man, that woman used to love me. I should go find her.'

He said. I walked over to Cam & sat on his lap.

'Are you okay, Baby?'

He asked.

'I don't know. I just miss her a lot.'

I said. Letting another tear escape my eye. He kissed the tear away & kissed my forehead.

'It'll all be okay. I promise.'

He said. That made me smile & wonder. What is this between us..

'I need to talk to you a little later.. This isn't exactly the best place to talk about it..'

I said.. He nodded in understanding. Dad came back a couple minutes later with Nana & Jay. Nana sat next to me.

'How ya' holdin' up champ?'

She said in her southern drawl. I gave a weak smile.

'I'm tryin''

I said, with mine returning. Dad motioned for me to come back to the casket with him & Jay while leaving Nana to get to know Cam.

'Nana, this is Cam. He's a special friend.. I really like him & i want you to get to know him. I'll be back. Cam, you'll thank me later.'

I said, winking at him when i was behind Nana's back. We got over to the casket & Jay tried not to cry.

'It's okay, baby. You don't have to be strong here. This is a time & place where you can break down & cry if you miss mommy.'

Dad said softly to Jay. She looked at the casket as one single tear escaped her eye.

'I hate remembering that night. Because mommy said she would be home right after school. She promised she'd make me dinner & she never did! You're not allowed to break promises & she broke my promise!'

Jay said now full on sobbing. It broke my heart to see her cry like this. Jaydylen was the strongest kid i knew, so i knew that when she was crying that hard she hurt. I looked to the guys for support & they were all crying at the sight of us crying.

'Mommy broke her promise. I never broke a promise when i made it to her. I never did. I always listened to her. I was a good girl so why did she have to go? Why couldn't she stay? Why couldn't she come be with you, Daddy? We couldn't we all be one big happy family?'

She started sobbing again. Dad turned her around in his arms & started talking.

'I loved mommy very much.. I wish she told me about you & Addy but she never did. If i knew about you guys, then we would have been a happy family, baby. I'm sorry your heart hurts. I know this is hard.. But mommy was very sick. She's in a better place now.'

Dad said. I could see his heart breaking as the tears slid down his face. We walked back to our spots & sat down. I sat next to CC. I needed a CC bear hug right about now. I was sobbing my eyes out.

'Shhhh. It'll be okay.'

He cooed into my ears as more people filed in. Nana came to me.

'Addy, there's some people here i want you to see.'

When i went over to the crowd, there were 2 guys.

'Hello. We're Brandon & John.'

They said while blushing. I swaved.

'You used to play with Brandon & John when you were little. & Addy, they like the same kind of music you do!'

Nana said. That caught my attention.

'My dad is Jake Pitts.'

I said, let's see if they know who this is.

'From Black Veil Brides!'

They both said at the same time. I laughed & walked away. I didn't want to talk to anyone though. Do they not understand, i lost my mom.

'If y'all can have a sat the service will start.'

The pastor said. I sat next to Cam & dad with Jay on his other side. Cam kissed my cheek as he started the music & i started to cry.

*Time lapse- couple hours*

We were now leaving the funeral. I was so drained.. I couldn't even deal... We went to our hotel room & I changed. I got into mine & Cam's bed & cuddled next to him & fell asleep.

Notes

Thats not Cam's name i forgot what it was. I got my phone taken away >.< & don't do the math for the ages because i did it & it makes no sense so just go with the flow.
