Hey Dad

Summary: All Liam ever wanted was to be approved of by his father. As Angelus, he killed his father and was never able to be told he was accepted. Now, Angel regrets that he killed his father and writes a letter.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: In response to a review I received, I decided to change each chapter so that there is more of Angel talking rather than just song lyrics. Hope you like the changes.

Hey dad,

I'm writing to you

Not to tell you that I still hate you

Just to ask you how you feel

And how we fell apart

How this fell apart

Dad, I was never good enough for you, was I? Have I made something of myself yet? Have I proven to you that I am more than you think I am? Tell me dad, was it hard to see that I've changed? Was it too much for you, and did you actually believe it when you saw it? Dad, tell me honestly if you are proud of me now.

I remember those days you were a hero in my eyes

But those are just a long lost memory of mine

I spent so many years learning how to survive

Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

The days I spent so cold so hungry

Were full of hate, I was so angry

The scars run deep inside this tattooed body

There's things I'll take to my grave

But I'm okay, I'm okay

And sometimes I forgive

Yeah this time I'll admit

That I miss you

Said I miss you

... Hey dad

Angel

Author's Note: Some of you Good Charlotte fans might recognise this oldie' but goodie' Emotionless from the Album the Young and the Hopeless. I was just going through my CD collection and I was listening to this song and thinking about Angel. I had a strange idea that it could be kind of about Angel talking to his father so I decided to make something of it. Tell me what you think. I've got another idea for a letter too, if you like.
