A/N: Hey here is the first chapter. They are around 31. Zach and Cammie had a kid, Maddie, at 18.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gallagher Girls or the song "Little Toy Guns".
Chapter 1
Maddie's POV
"How could you, Zach?" my mom screamed.
"What my job?!" my dad screamed back.
My dad just got back from a mission and has to go on another one.
"You promised you would take a break. This is only the second time you've been home in a year. What about my daughter…" mom started.
"Your daughter?! Don't you mean 'our' daughter or is she Jimmy's?" Dad was furious.
"No, she is not Josh's. How could you even think that? Whose name did we put on the certificate for father 13 years ago. Was it Josh's? No it was yours," mom was really hurt.
I was in my hiding spot. I didn't use it much, just when my mom and dad fought.
In between the coats in the closet
She held onto that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wouldn't stop it
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Put her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's saying, she's praying
"Maybe it would've been better if she was Josh's. Then your mother wouldn't be after Maddie! Our family would be safe!" my mom yelled.
I hate when they fight. And it sucks even more because we live at my school, so all my classmates hear it. I wish they would stop.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish were words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue"
"You don't mean that. Please tell me you don't mean that," my dad said.
"Just get out, Zach," my mom whispered.
"Cammie, please," my dad pleaded.
"Get out, Zach," my mom said louder, "Go do your mission. I don't care anymore."
My dad looked broken and hurt. And he walked out the door.
Wish there was a white flag waving or that they are both just faking
And it was just a game they were playing like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise
I peeked out of the closet. My mom was sitting on her bed, head in hands crying. There was a knock on the door. I hope it's dad. So did my mom, too, apparently because when she saw it was Macey, Bex, and Liz she dropped her head again.
"Maddie come on out," Liz said.
I came out of the closet and ran out the door.
I faintly heard my mom say "shit" and Macey, Liz and Bex call my name, but I kept running.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
I kept running not really sure where I was going. The fight I just witnessed, my parents words and dad leaving stuck in my head.
I wish they didn't cut like a knife
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run away, yeah
I stopped in front of a secret passage way I discovered when the fighting started. I heard my mom, Aunt, Liz, Macey and Bex in the hallway right when the secret passage way closed.
"You guys split up and check everywhere. I'll double check where we've looked and this hallway," my Aunt Amanda said. The other ran. I could hear their feet.
Little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh like little toy guns
"Hey, Maddie," my aunt said as she entered the secret passage way.
That's it. What did yall think? I love "Little Toy Guns" by Carrie Underwood, which is the song featured centered and italicized. Like I said let me know what yall think.
