Flashback

SPOV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.

'So it wasn't a dream,' i thought to myself with a loud sigh.

The hospital room was dark and dull. I could almost taste the dust. There was no colour other than the wheelchair in the corner and my gown.

I lifted my arms to the top of the sheet. With a sigh i pushed the blanket down to my ankles and pulled myself up.

I twisted around so my legs hung off the side of the bed. I raised my hand to my head and felt a gentle tug at my skin. I turned my hand and saw a tube in it. In winced at the sight and picked at the tape.

"She doesn't deserve any of this," I heard a low hiss from the outside of my room. "She's only sixteen!"

"Yes she is, and she makes her own decisions. I support them too, 100%."

My head shot up and i pushed myself off the bed.

"I knew it! So you supported her 100% on the drinking? You said yes to her going to that night club? You knew she'd take the beer! Her friends probably pressured her. Do you know what that is? It's called peer pressure!"

The voices grew louder as i stepped towards the door.

"You don't know what you're talking about," i heard a low chuckle.

"I think i do, and you do too! You are a terrible influence Connie," i stopped, my hand on the nob, tugging the IV stand closer to my body.

"I'm the terrible influence? What about you? You left her eleven years ago, and me, do you even care about us?"

The other person didn't even take time to breath, he just blurted out the answer quicker than anyone could blink. "What kind of a question is that? I love you, and i love Sonny, there isn't a thing i wouldn't do for her. I care for her safety as much as you do! Maybe even more than you..."

I gasped and turned the nob, opening it slightly. "More? That's not possible."

I peeked out to see my mum and... "I'm her dad, Connie, so as her guardian, i have to keep her safe."

Dad.

"What... are you..." mum trailed off.

"I'm taking her away, and you can't stop me."

I gasped louder than i expected and i shut the door, locking it quickly.

I slid down against it, putting my head on my knees.

It was dad, but why now? Why not sixteen years ago, when i was born? Mum told me that he was selfish and wanted no part of me, and now sixteen years later and he's taking me from mum? From my home? From Hollywood? From my friends!

"Sonny?!" I heard their concerned voices say through the door. I stepped back, pulling the IV stand with me.

The door nob twisted, "Sonny?" I heard my mum say, banging on the door. "Please Sonny, open up."

I took a breath and shut my eyes tightly.

Please Sonny, we just want to talk. We know you heard it, please let us in," dad said. I frowned at the door, why should i let him in? What has he ever done for me?

He probably only knew about this because it was all over Tween Weekly!

I'm the biggest headlines since 'Chad's New Convertible!' And believe me that was pretty dumb.

"Sonny," mum said, i could almost hear the sadness in her voice. "C'mon please. I promise i will let nothing bad happen to you. You're my special girl."

I smiled a bit; mum always knew how to make me smile.

I stepped forward and took a deep breath, calming myself down a bit. I unlocked it and stepped back as they came in.

"Princess," my dad said smiling, grabbing me in a secure hug.

"Hi... dad..." I trailed off slowly, unsure of how to welcome my dad into my life and then stand there as he rips it down.

"I missed you bub," i frowned into the hug. Bub... mum said that in his letters to me he would call me bub. She never let me read them, and i am kind of glad, i want nothing to do with him at all.

He let me go and pulled me up so he was looking into my eyes, "Still so beautiful," he told me.

Mum pulled me out of his grip and held me to her body. "Darling," she said, kissing the top of my head. She looked up at dad and scowled, "I'm not letting her go," she told him.

"Well i'm not changing things," dad said sternly.

"Too bad," she almost growled. "You're not taking her away from me."

My dad stepped closer. "I'm sorry, but Hollywood is no place for a sixteen year old girl. Also the way that you have behaved young lady, shows me that you are not mature enough to stay Sonny."

Mum hugged me, turning away from dad like a shield. "NO! She's my daughter and you can't take her away from me!" Mum cried as he reached out to me.

I felt like a teddy bear that two six year olds were fighting over.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Mum let me go and he pulled me to him.

I watched as she started tearing up real badly. I couldn't stand any more stress. I tried to pull away, but dad's steel grasp that he had on me was too strong.

I watched as mum backed up and turned to the door. "You are ruining her life Nick," mum told him.

"No i'm not. She is going to grow up like a normal girl. I want her to have a real job, one where she has to work hard to achieve her goals. Like an average American teenager."

My mum scowled, "She had potential and you're blowing it for her," my mum stared at dad like she was staring down the barrel of a gun.

"Maybe so, but i want the best for my little girl."

Mum scoffed, "She already had the best Nick. Not anymore," She started to walk out and i knew it was over.

I knew my awesome life is running down the drains and i couldn't stop it. How could i say goodbye to everyone? I don't think i am that strong...
