“So talk.” I say plopping down onto the couch in our dressing room. I decided that it would be best if we had our little catch up talk in here instead of in the middle of the hallway.

Sam sighed as she sat down on the couch beside me. “It’s such a long story Vic.”

“We got thirty minutes till I go on.” I say while checking my watch “I think that’s enough time to at least break the surface.”

Sam took a deep breath “I got pregnant two years ago by Mike. I didn’t want to be a burden on him so I left and moved to Los Angeles. I’ve been here since then.”

"Wait so you left because you thought you were a burden.” I was shocked and slightly angry“ Mike loved the hell out of you. He would have dropped everything and crawled to your side because he would have wanted to.”

“I fucking know that damn it.” Sam screamed as tears poured down her face “He would have dropped everything, every fucking thing for me and Chelle. He would have put his whole entire life on pause if he would have found out. I didn’t want that. I wanted Pierce the Veil to make it. I knew you guys were going to be something special and I didn’t want to be the person who ruined that for you.

Vic I was just scared. I was sixteen, I was still a baby myself. How in the world was I suppose to raise one. I was scared that Mike would get caught and arrested. I was just....I was just feeling like a loser, I was just depressed.....I was just ready for it all to be over. I even tried Vic...I tried to...I tried to"


"Hey it's okay" I cooed as I brought her into a tight hug "It's over now okay."

It broke my heart to see her like this. She sacrificed so much. So she did this for Mike, for us. She wanted Mike to be worry free, to pursue his career. To have fun ad to live his life. I felt bad for her because she was doing what was best for Mike and not what was best for her and Michelle.

Michelle hugged Sam's neck tightly "Mommy why you crying? Are you okay?"

Sam smiled warmly "Nothings wrong baby, I'm fine just fine."


Michelle looked a me curiously "Vic how do you know
mommy?"

"Your mommy and I are really really good friends. She is like a sister to me." I answered

Michelle gave me the biggest smile ever " So that makes you like my uncle?"

Sam laughed “Yes he is your Uncle”

“Hip Hip Hurray for my new Uncle Vic” Michelle yelled as she hopped onto my lap

Just as Michelle finished her chant Tony knocked on the door “Hey Vic, we go on a five!”

I said alright as I got up and swung Michelle over my shoulder. We started walking towards the stage. I already knew that Sam wasn't going back stage. I knew that she didn’t want Mike to see her. Sam asked me not to tell Mike or the others about Michelle yet. As much as I wanted to tell my little brother about his beautiful little girl I knew that it wasn't my place to tell him. I went to put Michelle down but she had a firm grip on my neck.

“No, I want to stay with you Uncle Vic”

Sam sighed “Come on sweetie, he has to perform.”


I put Michelle down and watched as tears pricked her eyes. I’ve only known Michelle for half an hour and I already loved her dearly. I don’t want to see my niece cry. I’d do anything to prevent that from happening so I pulled her into a big hug.

“I have to go now but I promise you I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said as I gave her a kiss on the forehead

She was still crying so I added " And I'll even dedicatie a song to you."

Michelle immediately cheered up and gave me a big hug "Tank you, Tank you Uncle Vic."

I gave Sam a hug “Don’t be a stranger. It’s a shame this is the first time I’ve seen my niece.”

“I promise Vic, I’ll come by your house tomorrow.” She said as she kissed me on the cheek “I missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too Sam” I say as I step back “ See you tomorrow.”

I waved to them and walked towards the stage. I already was sad that I was leaving Sam and Michelle. I never realized how much I missed Sam until just now. Life was never the same without her in it. It felt good knowing that I would be seeing them tomorrow. I walked over to the remaining Pierce the Veil members.

“It’s about time you got here.” Jaime yelled jumping up and down

Mike laughed “Yeah man, thougt we would have to perform without you man"

"Yeah perform without your lead singer dipshit." I snickered


Everyone was talking except Tony. He sat there quietly
staring at me. I wonder what his problem is. Maybe he’s just in a bad mood tonight or something else. I’ll ask him when we get back on the tour bus, but now I’m pushing this to the side. Now I’m ready to do a kickass performance. It was finally time and we ran out on stage.

"How are yall tonight Los Angles?!” I screamed into the microphone as I ran out onto stage " Tonight I want to dedicate this song to my baby girl. Chelle this is for you sweet heart."
