Life According To Amber Lynn Haner
Summary
Amber Lynn is an average fourteen year old girl; she has a tongue that can cut like a blade, her sarcasm is through the roof and she can be moody as hell, but when you peel back those layers, you can see that she's broken. After years of abuse from kids at school, can you really blame her for acting the way that she does?
She's been bullied for having a gravely ill mother and for being different, she's on the brink of death herself, as when her mother dies, she vows to take her own life. She's holding onto one hope; to finally get to meet her father.
She plays it cool, pretending not to care at the fact that she's never had anything to do with him, but under her tough-girl act, she has a big heart, and she wants to meet the man who helped bring her into the world, even though he was never around to watch her grow up. She presumes he's just some guy, but is shocked when she realises he's covered in tattoos and plays in a band that her mother would never let her listen to.
Since he's been out of the picture for her whole life, will they bond and connect like nothing ever happened, or will they hate each other?
(I do not own A7X or any of their spouses (obviously) I do, however, own the characters of Amber, Ash and Danny. Any similarities to events or characters (living or dead) is purely coincidental. This story is a work of fiction, and is not directly linked to Avenged Sevenfold and their families, and has nothing to do with them in real life)
