Say You'll Haunt Me *ON HOLD*

You know that feeling you get when you’re at a concert and in the crowd, watching the band that you loved?

Yeah, I always had the feeling too but I was never in the crowd where the real action took place, I was always side-stage and no it wasn’t because I bought side stage tickets every time I went to one. It was because I was the daughter of Jason Hook.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Emilia Hook and the lead guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch was my father.

Being the daughter of Jason Hook was pretty sweet. I was surrounded by music my whole life, learning guitar from him and my uncle Zoltan, drums from my uncle Jeremy, bass from my uncle Chris and unclean vocals from my uncle Ivan. I loved being around them. I was happy until my parents got divorced and my mom took me away. After that, my relationship with her was never the same, especially after everything that she put me through. I wanted nothing to do with her but she didn’t understand.

But enough about her…this is my story, not hers.

“Emilia, where are you?!” I heard a voice cry out.

“Up here in my room,” I yelled back.

Heavy footsteps trudged up the stairs to my room and opened my door. “Hey sweetie, how’s my favorite god-daughter today?” Jeremy asked, plopping down on my bed.

I giggled and pushed my laptop away from my legs. “I’m your only god-daughter dummy.”

Jeremy grinned and slapped at my knee. “Yeah but you’re still my favorite.”

Rolling my eyes, I playfully slapped his shoulder and moved off the bed. “Yeah, yeah, what are you doing here anyways? I thought you were stuck in the studio?”

“We were but I have some news. Your dad wanted to tell you but he had to go straight to an interview.”

I nodded, grabbing my water bottle from my bedside table. “What’s the news?”

“As you know, we got tour coming up soon right?”

“What about it?”

“Our opening band dropped out and we need to find another band, and we were thinking of getting your band to fill the spot.”

I raised my eyebrows and stared at him. “Are you serious?”

“As a heart attack.”

“I’d have to talk to the rest of the girls but they’ll be down for sure.”

“Good. We have a dinner with the other band we’re touring with tomorrow night at that Italian restaurant on the pier. Make sure you and the girls are there at 7pm.”

Nodding my head, I bounced over to the bed and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Uncle Jer. You guys are the best.”

He laughed and pressed a kiss to the crown of my head, hugging me tightly. “No worries darlin’.”

I pulled back and placed a kiss on his cheek. I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. Shit, I was going to be late for work. “As much as I’d like to stay and chat Uncle Jer, I have 20 minutes to get dressed and get across town to work.”

He shook his head and stood up from the bed, chuckling. “I’m gonna buy you a watch and super glue to your hand. That way you’ll be on time.”

I poked my tongue out and shooed him towards my bedroom. “Go! Go! You’re gonna make me even late.”

“Well, you better tell your boss that you’re quitting.”

“Yes Jeremy, I’ll put my two weeks in today. Now go!”

He let out a laugh and said goodbye, leaving the house.

I raced over to my closet, throwing on some skinny jeans, a black tee, and converse sneakers, before grabbing my bag and car keys and raced out of the house.

I was so fucking late.
