Synyster Truth

::Syn’s POV::

‘Brian?’ I heard my wife ask, I looked up from my computer to see her standing there with a girl, maybe 14 or 15 and I raised my eyebrow ‘yes?’ ‘This is Abby, she’s our new daughter, I just adopted her’ Michelle said which caused me to raise both eyebrows ‘I thought we agreed to look together after I came back from tour?’ ‘Well, I couldn’t help it. I thought that we could take her on tour and have some bonding time with the rest of the family’ she said and I sighed softly and closed my laptop,

I stood and came around my desk ‘please don’t be mad’ Michelle whispered and bit her lip, I smiled and kissed her forehead then looked down at my new daughter, she was very short, maybe about 4’8 ‘I'm Brian’ I said and she nodded ‘do you talk?’ I asked and she shrugged, I looked at Michelle a little worried ‘the caretaker said that she does talk but not often, she’ll text, write things down or use sign language’ ‘oh’ I said then looked back down at Abby I really hope we can get her to talk I thought to myself.

‘Ok Abby, this is your room, you have your own bathroom that’s attached and everything’s already in there’ Michelle said as we walked into Abby’s room, she nodded and walked into it and looked at everything I guess. ‘I hope we can get her to talk’ Michelle whispered in my ear and I nodded ‘I know’ I whispered back as Abby came out of the bathroom and looked at us with a smile, I smiled back and she set her stuff down on the bed, I noticed she only had a backpack ‘that’s all you have?’ I asked and she nodded a little ‘would you like to go shopping?’ Michelle asked a little hopefully but Abby shook her head ‘not right now’ she whispered softly and I smiled a little then went to hug her, she wrapped her arms around my waist and cuddled her head into my chest a little.

‘Do you want something to eat?’ I asked and she nodded and looked up at me, her gray eyes were striking. ‘Do you like Arby’s?’ ‘Mhm’ ‘ok good, did you wanna just get settled in today or do you wanna meet my friends? They would basically be your uncles and their gonna be around a lot’ ‘I can meet them today it’s ok’ she said softly and I nodded ‘ok, I’ll go call them and tell them to bring the food’ I said and she nodded and we let go of each other. When I turned around I saw Michelle standing there with a camera and I raised my eyebrow at her ‘what? You guys just looked so cute I couldn’t help myself’ ‘uh huh’ I joked and we all walked downstairs.

::Abby’s POV::
Ok, these guys are really weird, I'm not so sure about this anymore. ‘Jimmy you're gonna fucking scare the poor girl’ I heard Matt say and I looked up from my drink to see that Jimmy was right up in my face, I raised an eyebrow at him and he did the same thing back at me as I continued to sip on my diet coke ‘I will get you to talk! It is my mission!’ he stated then poked my side and got no reaction from me ‘grrr’ he said and sat back in his spot and looked over at me ‘will you at least sign something for me?’ he begged and I nodded and put my drink down and thought for a second then smiled. I pointed to Johnny, then rubbed one fist over the other vertically in a circle motion, then pointed at Jimmy and brought my hand up to my forehead with my pointer finger pointing up

‘What does that mean?’ Johnny asked and I giggled a little ‘you –points to Johnny- make –rubs fists together- Jimmy –points- horny –puts finger to head-‘ I said in a soft voice ‘hey! No he doesn’t! Only Syn can do that!’ he yelled then ran to my new dad and sat on his lap, I smiled and shook my head ‘and! I got you to talk’ he said and I rolled my eyes a little and stood up and walked into the kitchen. I was looking in the food bags because I hadn’t eaten my sandwich yet, I just had my fries and some of my drink. ‘Hey Abby?’ I heard being called, I stopped moving and listened ‘can you bring two beers with you when you come back?’ I heard someone, I think Zack yell so I walked over to the fridge and pulled two out then grabbed my sandwich and walked back into the living room. I walked over to Zack and handed him the drinks ‘thanks babe’ he said and I raised an eyebrow at him then went to sit down in my spot. After eating and listening to everyone talk I decided it was time to go out for a smoke so I stood up and walked out the back door, I looked around and saw a picnic table in the shade at the other end of the yard so that’s where I went.

I sat and pulled out my Newport shorts and my pink lighter, I put the stick to my lips and shook my lighter a little because it was running low, I flicked it a few times but nothing happened ‘need a light?’ I looked up and saw my new dad standing there, I blushed and nodded. He sat and lit my smoke as well as his ‘you don’t mind do you?’ I whispered and he shook his head ‘just let me know when you're out’ ‘ok’ I whispered again and tapped my smoke against the ashtray a little ‘can I ask why you don’t talk?’ new dad asked after a bit of silence, I looked up at him and bit my lip

‘I've seen some pretty horrific things in my 15 years, I guess I just blocked myself off from everything and everyone’ I whispered as I took another drag ‘I hope you can learn to trust and love me and Michelle and our friends’ he said gently and I nodded a little as I put out my smoke ‘you have to give me time Mr. Haner’ ‘whoa now, none of that Mr. Haner crap. If you don’t feel comfortable calling me dad then please call me Brian or Syn’ he said and I nodded again and stood up, he stood with me and we both walked into the living room to find Jimmy humping Zack.

I blushed and hid my face behind Brian a little ‘what is going on here’ he said loudly making the laughing and humping stop ‘Zack took my beer and wouldn’t give it back so I was trying to annoy him’ Jimmy pouted and Brian crossed his arms over his chest ‘yeah well stop it, were going to have a movie night’ he said and Jimmy’s eyes lit up and he ran upstairs, I tugged on Brian’s shirt a little and he looked back at me ‘where’s he going?’ ‘to the movie room, you wanna pick out a movie to?’ he asked and I nodded, he took me upstairs and we found Jimmy sitting in front of a huge wall of movies trying to pick

‘Jimmy, Abby’s gonna help you pick’ Brian said and he nodded mindlessly. I walked over to the wall, my eyes grazing over all the movies until they landed on Carrie and Bride of Chucky. I looked down at Jimmy and tapped his shoulder, he looked up at me with big eyes ‘find something?’ he asked and I nodded and pulled out the two movies I wanted to watch, he smiled big then stood (towering over me might I add) and held out his hand to me. I blushed and took it as we walked back downstairs and into the living room ‘look what Abby picked!’ Jimmy said excitedly ‘YAY!! OUR FAVORITE!!’ they yelled and I blushed more as I walked over to Zack and sat next to him, he smiled at me and I smiled back and cuddled into him. I had a real fascination with him, I don’t know why but I fancy him.

Carrie was first in the line-up so I cuddled closer into Zack and he tightened his arm around me ‘you gonna be ok?’ he whispered in my ear and I nodded as I looked up at him, he smiled and kissed my forehead making me blush badly and hide my face in his chest again. We were about halfway through the movie when I started to get a little chilly so I stood up and went up to my room, I pulled the big black fleece blanket off the end of my bed and wrapped it around myself as I walked back down the steps and into the living room. I walked back over to Zack and cuddled back up to him giving him some of the blanket also, he wrapped his arm around my back and pulled me a little tighter.

We soon finished both movies and I looked over to see that everyone except me and Brian were asleep ‘come on, we’ll go have another smoke then go to bed’ he said and I nodded and stood up being careful not to wake Zack up. We walked out the back door and over to the picnic table and had a smoke together quietly then we walked back into the house and I grabbed my blanket off the couch quickly and Brian and I made our way upstairs, he walked me to my room and over to my bed ‘you gonna be ok by yourself?’ ‘Yeah’ I whispered, he nodded and hugged me tight. I hugged back and pulled some sleep shorts out of my back pack after he left, I took off my shoes, then my black skinny jeans and slipped on my shorts. I took off my bra also and put everything in the corner by the closet, I crawled back into bed and under the covers. I cuddled up to the blankets and fell asleep quickly because the bed was just amazing.

“Run bitch, you better fucking run from me or I'm gonna find you and kill you. Not there, I can still see you, you can’t hide from me.” I was running fast and hard through the forest, I tripped a little but didn’t fall so I kept going and screaming my head off. “Abby! Abby!” I heard being screamed at me, I looked around franticly but I couldn’t see anyone “Abby!”

‘Abby! Wake up baby!’ I heard and I sat up straight still screaming ‘stop it!’ I heard and I silenced and looked over at someone sitting next to me ‘it’s me Brian’ he whispered ‘daddy?’ I cried and wrapped my arms around his middle and cried into his chest. ‘Shhh baby I've got you, no one can hurt you now’ he whispered as he rubbed my back slowly. I kept sobbing into his chest ‘he’s gon-gonna kill me daddy’ I managed to choke out as I pulled back to look up at him ‘who baby, who’s trying to kill you?’ ‘I – I don’t wanna talk right now’ I whispered and he nodded and ran his thumbs over my cheeks

‘why don’t you try going back to sleep ok?’ he whispered and I nodded a little and laid back on my bed, daddy stood up but I grabbed his wrist ‘please don’t leave me’ ‘ok baby, I'm not going anywhere’ he said and I moved over so he could crawl in next to me. I cuddled into him and laid my arm across his waist as he pulled me close to him pulling the blankets up more ‘good night daddy’ I whispered and he tightened his grip on me a little more ‘good night baby’ he whispered and kissed my head. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes, I listened to the sound of his heart and fell back asleep after a minute or so.

::Syn’s POV::

I was laying in the dark holding Abby after waking up because I heard her screaming, I just rushed in here and when I woke her up she called me daddy, I don’t think she realized it but it made me so happy I thought I was going to burst but I held it together for her. ‘Bri?’ I heard being whispered and I looked over to see Jimmy standing in the doorway ‘you can come in’ I whispered back and he came in shutting the door softly behind himself. He walked over to the bed and kneeled next to it ‘what happened? I heard her screaming from downstairs’ ‘I don’t know, when I woke her up she said something about someone trying to kill her but I didn’t push it’ I whispered and he nodded and yawned

‘Come on, I don’t think she’ll mind’ I whispered again as I motioned him over to the other side of the bed so he could sleep. He stood, stripped then crawled up the bed and under the covers, he settled down into the bed next to Abby and wrapped his long arm around her middle and pulled himself close to her ‘night Bri’ ‘night Jimmy’ I whispered and I heard his breathing even out after a few seconds. I decided to get to sleep also so I moved down a little and then kissed Abby’s forehead and closed my eyes so I could drift off.
