Aleah's POV

Lucy & I spent the rest of the day walking around until my dad called saying we needed to come home & have the 'talk'

"Alright Lucy where's the car?'' I said trying to put my phone in my bag.

"Follow me bat women." I smirk at the nickname.

It took us longer than we suspected to find the car, simply because we got lost. Lucy got us lost. By the time we found my car, it was already past my curfew.

I checked my phone.

Twenty Missed Calls. Daddy.

This cant be happening.

"Luc he's going to personally kill me!" I start to freak out.

"Leah calm down, please before you have an anxiety attack. Just concentrate on my breathing alright?"

We sat there for about twenty minutes until I calmed down enough to drive.

We even got lost on the way home, not once but multiple times. By the time we even got home it was an hour & a half past my curfew.

Yes, my curfew is at eight.

We grab our bags & walk inside. At first we're greeted by nobody so we sneak up stairs but when we come back downstairs my father is there.

This can't be good, these things are never good.

"Where were you & Lucy?'' He asked.

"We were at the mall & got lost coming home." At least most of it wasn't a lie.

"I'm cutting back your curfew. You are to be sleeping in your bed at seven thirty."

At that point I lash out at him. "Stop treating me like I'm a helpless kid dad! I'm seventeen for Christ sake"

I never been that angry at him before, but he has no right to cut out my privileges.

"I'm only doing this to try & protect my baby!'' He was on the verge of tears, my father never cries.

"Dad when are you going to learn to leave the past in the past? What your ex-wives & kids did to me is in the past. Lucy & mom aren't like that beside I would tell you. I like Lucy & mom, Brittany is the closest thing that I'll ever have to a caring mother." I said wiping his tears he let loose.

I hated seeing my dad cry. Especially when I was the reason.

I hugged him. "I will never let anyone hurt you again baby." He promised me, I trusted him.

"I trust you dad, but trust me when I say that I need space to live." He looked me right in the eye.

"You remind me of your grandmother so much. You're not a caterpillar anymore but you are a beautiful butterfly." He took the hair out of my eyes & sighed. "I trust you baby, but curfew is at eleven thirty not a second after."

I smiled & hugged him.

"Thanks dad."

"Oh yeah, tomorrow an old friend of mine is going to be painting the house with his son. Would you like to help? I'll pay you."

"Alright, but don't pay me, pay the painters son." He agreed & I went to go sleep.

Vic's POV

"Vic!" My dad shouted from downstairs. I gave Tony the controller, because he was watching Mike & I play.

I ran down the stairs "Yeah Pa?"

"I got you a job!" he said excitedly. "Don't worry I'll be there too but it gets better, he asked his daughter Aleah to help but instead of paying her, he's going to be paying you."

My smile lit up, I can finally buy that guitar.

"Yeah I'll go! But who's house are we painting & how do you know him?" I asked suddenly curious.

"His name is Ronnie Diamond, we use to school way back & his daughter is Aleah Diamond I do believe."

'My name is Aleah. Aleah Diamond' She said shaking my hand.

No. Freaking. Way.

"Well alright, when do we start?"

"Tomorrow morning."

I went upstairs to sleep. The only person who crossed my mind that whole night was

Aleah Diamond
