Gerard ways daughter

the night

As it got later my Dad left me to sleep , I'd never felt like he loved me but earlier I truly did.
time skip to morning ...

"Elise , you awake?" my dad called through my door.
"yeah Dad , come in." i replied gently
my dad entered with a soft smile on his face this calmed me.
"How did you sleep?" He asked inquisitively.
"Not too bad, best in a while." I said giving him a reassuring smile.
"hey, is it cool for your uncle mikey to come over and frank and ray if you remember them?" He said sounding apprehensive.
"of course, I've missed mikey a lot and the other guys too." I said enthusiastically even though inside the thought of this made me die slighty, I'm anxious and shy at the best of times but men who I hadn't seen in years??no thanks.
"Okay good cause well, they'll be over in half an hour". He said giving me a weak smile.
no no no I thought to myself I couldn't do this shit without even realising I just starting crying, uncontrollably.
"Anxiety?" He questioned as he sat with me and began to stroke my back.
I nodded and he pulled me close and hugged me until I began to calm down.
"It's going to be okay, Mikey knew you so well as a kid, better than me probably" he said sadness laced in his voice."he knows how to help you out, him and frank were always good with you. Better than i or your mom ever were." He said sounding guilty
we sat in silence for a few moments until my dad spoke "did your mom ever change or was she the same workaholic, friends over her kid?" He asked inquisitively.
"she need changed I was always kinda with my grandma until she passed last year." I said solemnly.
"I'm sorry" my dad spoke after a minute sounding ever so guilty.
as much as I was beginning to love him I had spent the last 14 years of my life feeling unloved by my own parents, fuck my dads best friend dealt with me better.
