A/N Hope you guys like the story as much as I like writing it. If you think I need to make any improvements or anything please let me know. The more reviews I get the faster I'll update :] on another note who else is depressed that wwe let Ken Kennedy go??? I was so excited to see him back on Monday, and then the next day I found out he was released!! So sad, I miss him sooo much already. But enough of that, haha, heres another chapter for ya. Happy reading!!

Tracey tried calling me all day; I'm surprised she actually noticed I was gone. I didn't feel like talking, well more like yelling at her. She left me about 5 messages, angry at me for sneaking out. I warned her, I told her I was going to leave. And I'm damn glad I did.

The guys were having a match on their trampoline. The hardy's vs Shannon and Shane, Lindsay and I got to lounge around and watch. When Matt called her earlier she wanted Matt to pick her up. We talked about everything that happened; she had a hard time believing that my mom would lie about something like that.

"You should confront him." Lindsay said, out of the blue.

"Who?"

"Vince, err your dad." She gave a sympahetic smile.

"I don't even want to talk to my mom, what makes you think I'm going to talk to my dad." I snapped. Realizing that I snapped at her, I kicked myself. She was just trying to help; she didn't deserve to be treated like that. "I'm sorry Linds; I just don't know what to do about my situation."

"I know." She hugged me, whispering in my ear "Jeff certainly seems to be taking care of you really well" She winked, sitting back on her lounge chair.

I looked up at the trampoline where Jeff was getting ready to do a swanton bomb. I couldn't watch, it scared me too much, what if he landed the wrong way or something? Such a daredevil.

"Yeah, he's been great. He was the first one I called when I left home."

"How come you didn't call me? Your best friend?" She pouted.

"Can you drive?" I smirked.

"Well…no." She smiled.

"Exactly, but you got to talk to Matt," I nudged her. A big grin spread across her face. You could see how much she liked him.

"Wanna hear something funny?" Lindsay managed to get out between giggles.

"Always"

"My mom wants to meet Matt" She burst into laughter. How do I describe Lindsay's mom? Alcoholic, drug addict, sex addict. I think that pretty much sums it up. A woman you didn't want to be around, and she wanted to meet the guy that Lindsay was so crazy about? That was funny; I think I'm actually laughing. "But that's not all; he's on the top of her list of guys she wants to sleep with"

Tears streamed down my face, but for once they weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of laughter. Lindsay and I ended up falling off our chairs and couldn't stop laughing. The guys finally noticed and ran towards us.

"Whoa, she's laughing!" Jeff smiled, helping me stand up.

"Whats so funny?" Matt asked, he couldn't help but laugh with us, even though he had no idea what was going on. They were just happy that I was laughing and enjoying myself.

"Don't sleep over at Lindsay's anytime soon, Mattie." I laughed.

"I think they got in your stash of beer." Shannon laughed.

"I have a good idea." Shane yelled, getting everyones attention. "Bra and panties match!" Shane picked up Lindsay and carried her to the trampoline.

"Put me down, Shane!"

Jeff looked at me, a big smirk on his face. I took that as my cue to run; he chased me around the trampoline. The other guys were trying to keep Lindsay on the trampoline.

I stopped and looked at Jeff. "Come on, Jeff. You don't wanna see us tearing each others clothes off do ya?" I pouted.

"Your right, I wouldn't do that to you." I smiled, walking towards him and gave him a hug. Then I felt a pair of arms lift me up and threw me in the ring. "But he would"

I looked around to see who it was "Adam!!" I yelled, running after him.

"I brought beer!" Jay announced, the guys seemed to forget about us girls and ran for the booze that Jay was waving around.

However I continued to chase Adam through the woods. He eventually stopped, picked me up and spun me around. "Glad to see you're having a good time." He smiled, putting me down.

"You know?" I asked in almost a whisper.

"Matt called me. He wanted Jay and me to come here tonight, just have a good time."

"To help me keep my mind off things, right?" I continued for him.

"Is it working?" He asked, sitting against a tree, patting the ground beside him for me to sit down.

I sat beside him just like he wanted. I looked down at my lap. "The last few days I have made so many mistakes, so many regrets" Looking up into his eyes, I continued. "The only things I don't regret are meeting you guys and being her now."

He smiled. "Glad to be of help."

My cell phone started buzzing, "whats that?"

"My phone, it's probably my mom, but I don't wanna talk to her."

He took my hand I his. "You should talk to her, tell her what you're feeling, and really let her have it. She deserves it after the way she treated you." He kissed the back of my hand and stood up. "I'll be back at the house."

I waited for a few minutes, until I couldn't see Adam anymore. Finally answering I said "Hello?"

"Vanessa?" A mans voice asked.

"Who is this?"

"It's Vince, can we talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about, Vince" Before I could hang up, he continued.

"Please Vanessa; I was way out of line in my office. Can we get together for coffee? I went to your house this morning but you weren't home. Your mom is very worried about you."

"What do you want from me?" I snapped, standing up and making my way back to the house.

"I just want to talk, please?"

I let out a frustrated sigh. I wasn't going to tell him what I overheard this morning; I was going to play along, just like they were doing. "When?"

"Now, if it's possible."

"Where?"

"Pick a place and I'll meet you there."

When I got back to the house, I put my phone back in my pocket. I picked a café about 20 minutes from here so I just needed to get a ride from somebody.

Everyone was gathered around the bonfire, beer in hands. Lindsay and Matt were sitting alone deep in conversation. I was wondering who I should ask.

"I'm going to get more beer!" Shannon shouted, heading to his car. Well that helped, after telling everyone I would be back I got a ride with Shannon.

The drive was quiet; I had too much on my mind. What was I going to say? Would he be alone? Would my mom be with him? Is he going to tell me the truth? I was getting nervous as we got closer to the café. We pulled up and I took a deep breath.

"When you're done, just give us a call and someone will come pick you up, k?" Shannon smiled.

"Okay, thanks Shannon."

"Good luck Kat." I hugged him before exiting the car. I looked through the window and saw him sitting by himself in a corner. He was staring at his coffee cup; it looked like he also had a lot on his mind.

"Hi." I said walking up to the table. He looked up and managed a small smile. Standing up, he hugged me and gestured for me to sit down.

"I thought you weren't going to come."

"Get to the point, Vince." I said, quietly. I stared down at the table, not wanting to look at him.

"I'm sorry for the way I treated you in my office. I was just too scared to accept the fact that you are my daughter." He cleared his throat. "I guess I just wanted to talk to you and get to know you."

"Why?"

"Because you're my daughter."

I laughed "Oh that's funny, Vince! You are quite the comedian. I walk into your office, wanting to know my dad. And what did you say? Oh yeah, Sorry but I'm not your father, there must be some mistake. But then you accuse me of being there for MONEY!"

"Look, I'm so…"

"Sorry?" I cut him off. "You are sorry? Why the change of heart, Vince? Huh? Now you want me in your life?"

"More coffee?" The blonde waitress asked. Vince nodded and she gave him more coffee "Anything for you?" She asked, looking over at me.

"No thanks, I won't be here long."

"You're a beautiful girl, just like your mother." He smiled.

"Don't suck up to me, Vince." I snapped, looking away. "You might have been able to sweet talk my mom, but that doesn't work with me."

"What do you want me to say? I'm trying here Vanessa"

"So all of a sudden you want to be my dad. Where were you when I needed you?" I cried, drawing attention from everyone else in the restaurant, but I didn't care. "Do you know how hard it was growing up without a father? Your kids never had to worry about that, but me on the other hand I didn't matter, did I?"

He stared down at the table, "You heard us this morning, didn't you? That's why you ran away?"

"I went through some tough times, my mom was there but I needed you, we needed you. You are the one that got her pregnant, you are the one that cheated on your wife, I was the innocent one, and what did I get?? NOTHING! No phone calls, no visits. When I was in the hospital were you there??? Huh Vince? Were you there beside my hospital bed, squeezing my hand telling me everything was going to be okay?? NO YOU WERE NEVER THERE!"

"Your mom called me and told me you were in the hospital, I sent you flowers; I just didn't put who they were from."

I smiled, "Omg you sent me flowers? Gee if I would have known that then I wouldn't have yelled."I said sarcastically, my smile turned into anger. "Flowers??? I didn't want flowers! I wanted you, I wanted my father! When the doctor told me the news that would change my life, I didn't want to stand there holding my flowers, Vince! I wanted you! You to hold me and tell me you would be there to help me through all of this! I'm still scared, I still need you." I cried, standing up "Are you man enough to admit that you love me and you want me in your life?"

He stayed silent as I started to walk away "Don't run away Vanessa." He shouted after me.

As I reached the door I turned around, "You taught me how."
