Hey, I brought in Lorne for this chapter. I figured someone had to help her
and who better than Lorne, a supposedly unbiased third party. The chorus
Tomorrow is singing comes from Fleetwood Mac's 'Sweet Little Lies'
"Not that I'm complaining, but why the sudden change of heart. You looked kind of upset when you showed up." Max said softly stroking Tomorrow's cheek.
"Family crisis, but I feel better. I was going to tell you I was leaving town for awhile, but please consider that your invitation to come with." Tomorrow smiled. Max gives her a deep passionate kiss.
"Consider that my acceptance. So where are we going?" He asked.
"An old friend of the family owns a karaoke bar in L.A., and if anybody can help me right now, it's him." She told him.
"We are going to L.A. to go to a karaoke bar."
"Yeah and he might enjoy us arriving with clothing on so come on get ready I have my bike parked outside."
"Since when did you get a motorcycle?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"So this is a demon karaoke bar." Max stated.
"Yeah, Lorne hey" Tomorrow replied.
"Sweetness, where is everybody, usually you are surrounded by a whole family, not that I mind you stopping by. You always bring in a good crowd, it's because you got your dad's vocals have never known a vampire who can sing better, and who is the guy." Lorne said coming over and giving Tomorrow a hug.
"Lorne, this isn't social, I really need your help." Tomorrow begged.
" Well up on stage." As Tomorrow headed up onstage, Lorne looked at the guy. Why was he with Tomorrow? Surely, she couldn't be dating him. She was destine for Connor, everyone knew that. So, who was this guy?
"Hey I'm Tomorrow and this song reflects something that happened to me earlier tonight. 'Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies, tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies, no, no, no, you can't disguise, tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies'" She final finished the song to thunderous applause. "So, Lorne what do you think? Do I have a career as a lounge singer?"
"Sweetness, I'm speechless. There are so many things, wrong I don't know where to begin." He looks over at Max. "Yes I do, you know your parents are going to hurt innocent bystanders, namely me, when they find out about what you two did."
"Lorne, I don't need the sex lecture, I need some truth. I just found out my father was afraid of having me. He was so scared that he killed himself so that he didn't have to deal with me. No one in my family has been honest with me, and would like some answers about my family, so I can understand the vamp face, the prophecies, and the strength that seem to be part of the birthday package the powers sent me. So, what, am I full fledge warrior now? Come on, a little direction, what am I supposed to do, go, be." She ranted
"Your powers are a mixture of your parents, like you. Your powers are only for defense right now, until you learn how to harness them. No one wants you going off and doing something stupid" looks at Max, "er. You are supposed to go home, talk things out with your parents, and let your father train you."
"Lorne, I can't go back, not yet. Not after reading that note." She cried.
"Sweetness, the only reason you're upset is that all your life you have loved and looked up to your father. In your eyes, he can do no wrong. You want to protect him from hurt and pain and tonight, for the first time, you think that you caused him pain, that your birth was the most traumatic event of his life. It wasn't, the suicide was more about getting back at your mother, than fear of you. He absolutely adores and treasures you, and if you don't get home soon, you will cause him severe pain. So, get on that bike and get home."
"Really?" She asked.
"Sweetness, Parents are human, or vampire, in this case, they make mistakes. I'm sorry to break it to you but your father isn't perfect. You need to realize that."
"Call them and tell them we're on our way home." Tomorrow sighed.
"I tell them about you, but I'm not going to be in the literal crossfire when they find out about him." Lorne said as Tomorrow walked out the door with Max. He looked up at the roof "and may the powers that be help anyone who is."
"Not that I'm complaining, but why the sudden change of heart. You looked kind of upset when you showed up." Max said softly stroking Tomorrow's cheek.
