and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know." I jumped onto the counter." you just stuck me as someone who could sing.My insticts are never wrong either. And with the way you are careful not to injure your hands I guess you play an instrument too."

He looked at me surprised.

"What? How? What makes you think that?"

"Well it is either you play an instrument and sing or you're just gay. COuld be both though."

Axel shook his head.

"I'm not sure which one I want to be known as."

"I do. You want to be known as the one that is the truth. And again I say" I looked him dead in the eye." it could be both."

I hopped off the counter and grabbed his hand. I looked over my shoulder to Andy.

"Make sure if he escapes me he can't leave."

Andy and Jinxx nodded. The rest of them ignored me.

I dragged him through the crowd. When we reached the stage I jumped up without using my hands and forced Axel to jump with me. When we got to the micro phone.I cleared my throat adn immediately everyones attention. I nodded towards Andy and the boys. They got into positon, effectively blocking Axel from running after I spoke.

"Hey guys. Well I heard this is a open house. Well..besides BVB. ....Anywhore, the hot cashier has a voice and I want you to give a warm welcome to the stage. I have a feeling I know what song will go for him."

THe crowd cheered.

"But since this is his first how 'bout we but BVB up their to play. Andy can even sing with him! I mean, are you okay with that Beirsack."

He shrugged.

"Well get up here. ANd the song they are going to sing is 'My songs know what you did in the dark.' Have fun but get ready because I might just up stage you all afterwards."

Everyone got up there and Axel was sending glares at me. I rolled my eyes. He sighed and set up the mic. He looked behind him at the band for support. I rolled my eyes and jumped at the DJ table. I gave tem a thumbs up. And when Axel opened his mouth everyone was simply blown away.

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.

B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark 

Can't be sure when they've hit their mark 

And besides in the mean, mean time 

I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in the de-details with the devil 

So now the world can never get me on my level 

I just gotta get you off the cage 

I'm a young lover's rage 

Gonna need a spark to ignite

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark 

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark

Writers keep writing what they write 

Somewhere another pretty vein just died 

I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see 

That you're the antidote to everything except for me, me

A constellation of tears on your lashes 

Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes 

In the end everything collides 

My childhood spat back out the monster that you see

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark 

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark

My songs know what you did in the dark 

(My songs know what you did in the dark)

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

Light 'em up, up, up 

I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark 

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

In the dark, dark

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. 

 

Everyone was dancing until the song ended. All the girls staring at Axe lwith jaws on the floor. It was silent for a while. Until me being me broke it by yelling.

"GO Axe!!!"

I clapped even louder too. That got everyone clapping. I giggle and jump on stage. I hugged everyone. I felt eyes on me and turned around. I looked around until I saw a man who was watching me AND my friends. I gnored them and turned to the rest of the crowd.

"Well guys. That was a fantastic performance huh. In fact how 'bout another round of a applause."

I clapped as everyone else. But I always ruin moments.

"But, I did say I would give them a run for their money when I got a chance. "

Axel with a now bloated ego butted in.

"Yea right. Not agianst that. I bet you a 100k you can't."

I turned my head slightly and looked at him.

"Okay. its a bet."

We shook on it and I winked.

"Get ready to lose."

Chapter 22

 Chapter 22~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dramatically cleared my throat. I nodded towards the DJ table where Sasha rudely sat himself at. He smirked at me.

"What song?"

"You pick. In fact. Choose a Christina Aguilera song."

"Axe laughed.

No chance in hell that even you woud be able to hit those notes."

I rolled my eyes but continued to ignored him otherwise. Well, ANdy didn't. ANdy punched him so hard in the head, I could hear and see the dent from where I was standing on the stage. He was knocked out. In my mind the only thing that came up for a second was.

"DAMN! You just got KNOCKED the FUCK OUT!!!"

 

Jinxx being nice slapped him across the face, effectively waking him up. I turned my attention to the crowd. When I heard the song start, I smiled. My favorite. YAY!!!!

(A/N:The song it Fighter by Christina Aguilera)

(Spoken) 

After all that you put me through, 

You think I'd despise you, 

But in the end I wanna thank you, 

'Cause you've made me that much stronger

 

(Sung from now on) 

Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true 

Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up 

'Cause I've had enough 

You were there by my side, always down for the ride 

But your joy ride just came down in flames 'cause your greed sold me out in shame

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you 

But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong 

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know 

Just how capable I am to pull through 

So I wanna say thank you 

'Cause it

[Chorus:] 

Makes me that much stronger 

Makes me work a little bit harder 

It makes me that much wiser 

So thanks for making me a fighter 

Made me learn a little bit faster 

Made my skin a little bit thicker 

Makes me that much smarter 

So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing 

Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game 

I heard you're going round playing the victim now 

But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame 

'Cause you dug your own grave 

After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to haunt me 

But that won't work anymore, no more, 

It's over 

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture 

I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down 

So I wanna say thank you 

'Cause it

[Chorus]

How could this man I thought I knew 

Turn out to be unjust so cruel 

Could only see the good in you 

Pretend not to see the truth 

You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself 

Through living in denial 

But in the end you'll see 

YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I 

I ain't gonna stop 

There is no turning back 

I've had enough

[Chorus]

You thought I would forget 

But I remembered 

'Cause I remembered 

I remembered 

You thought I would forget 

I remembered 

'Cause I remembered 

I remembered

[Chorus]

The screaming didn't stop. The screaming made me smile. This was way louder than Axe's. I jumped off the stage and stopped infront of a dropped mouth Axe.

"Now that is what I call a Standing Ovation. I expect the 100k by next week. Sasha will give you the address."

Andy picked me up and put me on his shoulders. I yelp and was giggling uncontrolably. He took me out of the crowd to the man I saw staring at us before. He had chin length dirty blonde hair. Topaz eyes. He was muscular but not packed like Sasha. More lean. But you could definitely tell he was strong. Maybe even stronger than he led on. He also had a captivating presence. He looked atleast 22. He was handsoe. i'll give him that but wasn't really attracted to him.

Me just thinking abot him like that made me want to hurl. Andy set me down immediately after seeing the man. He gestured toward him.

"Sephy, this is Constanine Sterling. Aka My dad. Dad this is Persephone but she goes by Sephy."

(Pic of Constantine to the side)

(A/N:Constantine is played by Jasper from twilight. srry if pic dont show up)

Constatine offered his hand.

"Pleasure to meet you."

I smiled and grabbed his hand. Suddenly I was in a vision?"

FLASHBACK

I was in a victorian mansion. I was sitting on my mums lap. Sue was brushing my hair. Mini me giggled when mum suddenly tickled me trying to get my attention.

""Persephone, go get the door. I have a feeling your father is going to be home."

And speak of the devil. The door bell rang. I watched as mini me sighed dramtically and ran toward the door.

"It's about time."

A deep voice answered her...or me?

"I'm sorry darling. I told you to stop waiting for me to get home. It is way past your bedtime."

My mum laughed and joined them. She gave father a kiss. Father picked me up and I giggled. I looked into my Father's golden eyes. 

"I missed you,Father. And your hugs. Love you."

"Love you too, Persephone."

He kisses my cheek and my mums lips. I look at his face,this time paying attention to detail. I gasp as I am pulled out of the flashback."

FLASHBACK END

I look up at Constantine or should I say....

"Father..."

Chapter 23

Chapter 23~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Picks up right after she finds her father

Dad smiles. I blink. I let his hand slip from mine and start to walk out of the store. Just as I reach the door, I turn slightly and look at BVB and Constatine,
