CHAPTER 2: 11 YEARS LATER

"Ashley, sweetie, it's time to wake up," Allison said, shaking the shoulder of her 11 year old daughter. It has been over 11 years since that night that Adam had left her pregnant with Ashley. But, she didn't need Adam in her life. She was perfectly happy with just having Ashley. Kris and Katy had helped her A LOT the first year of Ashley's life. Her career had its time. She had 3 CD's out and had even managed to go on a couple of tours while Katy watched Ashley.

"Tired," she replied. Ashley, she was living a normal life. No one knew that she was Allison Iraheta's daughter, and she liked it that way. It was annoying at times, but it was worth it. She didn't like to have a lot of attention. Only one person knew about it, and that was her best friend, Taylor.

Allison pulled the covers back and turned the lamp on. "Get up," she said before leaving the room. Ashley groaned and got up. She looked around the room. It was COVERED with posters. Some of her mom, but mostly of the one person that her mother would never talk about. Adam Lambert. Her mom didn't exactly like her obsession with him, but she lived with it. He was HUGE right now, and every teenage girl had posters of him. So it wasn't uncommon. But Ashley had no idea what so ever that Adam was her dad, and Allison intended to keep it that way.

Ashley threw some clean clothes on and walked down the stairs, her iPod playing Adam's latest song. She was like her father in many ways. First, she had those piercing blue eyes that her mother had loved so much. She was into theater and rock music, which could have come from either her mother or her father. And she could hit those high notes that other people in her class didn't even conceder to be a note. But like her mother, she had brown hair (but had died it red) and was not a morning person and had the same bubbly personality, as Adam would call it.

"Hurry up and get ready. Taylor will be here any minute," Allison said.

"M'kay," Ashley replied. "Mom?"

"Yes Ash?" she responded.

"Why don't you like Adam? You guys were inseparable during Idol," Ashley asked.

"Were not talking about this now," she sighed. But she knew that she would need to tell her daughter at some point. She just didn't want to do it now. Or anytime soon, for that matter.

"Is it because you got pregnant with me?" she asked.

"Ashley!"

"What?" It was just a question," she responded.

"Eat your breakfast,"

"Fine."

Okay, this is it for this chapter. The next one will be about her day at school. I think that Adam might make an appearance in the third chapter.

So how should Ashley and Adam meet?
