The daughter (Jacoby Shaddix)

Chapter 1

Phoenix's POV:

"Ugh" I say walking into the house."Why do we have to do this stupid project for Mr.Adams"

"What's wrong?" my mom Marilyn asks from the kitchen.

"We have to do this father's day project. I tried getting out of it but he won't let me."

"Does he know that you don't talk to your dad?"

"Yeah but i'm the only one who doesn't talk to their dad so I have no way of getting out of it. I told him fine i'll just use the internet if that's what you really want. Then i walked out of his class."

"We will figure it out.."

"Okay......" i walk to my room.

Well I should explain what's going on here so I'm Phoenix Dakota Ann Shaddix and this is my story behind my father. He is Jacoby Shaddix and he is is the famous singer for Papa Roach. Yeah thats right i've got a famous father. Big deal. I look alot like my mom but I act exactly like my father. The only weird thing is I have red hair and both of my parents have blondish hair. Strange but anyways he met my mom fourteen years ago at one of his concerts. Back then his band Papa Roach wasn't very big so he would actually just go out and communicate with the fans. So eventually they hooked up and bam here i am. They were together for a couple months but then the being famous went to his head. He became a substance abuser and cheated on her. Now he is married to that women, kelly is her name. 8 years later we found out that he got his act back together and he contacted us wanting to be apart of my life again. So that's exactly what we did. I started to go to Sacramento California during the summer to stay with him for a couple weeks. He had two other kids Makaile and Jagger which was born right before Jacoby reached out to us. I did that for 3 and half years. Then Jacoby had a downfall and went back to alcohol and drugs. I haven't seen him in three years since all this went down.That's my great story about my "wonderful" father

Thinking about him just drives me insane. He was the one that did it to himself but i watched him come home drunk, high off his mind and get into fights with his wife. They split for those 2 years he was like that. But what bothers me the most is that he has been clean for 1 year and hasn't even tried to contact me.

I storm out of my room to mom.

"Why! Why did he have to do that to me! He's forgotten all about! I hate him! All I wanted was to have a father and he couldn't give it to me!" I scream at my mom then start bawling in her arms.

"I don't know Phoenix " she says "He should have never done that to you."

"Yeah i know but i'm so mad at him but all i want to do it talk to him again. Be in his life...."

"I know" mom says taking a deep breath.

I get up and go back to my room thinking how my life would be different if he was in my life....
