I grasped tightly to the bolt of the door and opened the bathroom door. I had a towel on and I wanted to take a quick bath.

'Life is beautiful with you... ' I sang out loud enough for the girls to hear in their various rooms.

As I scrubbed down my arm, I heard Alex voice from downstairs as he made his way to the bathroom.

'Yeah, Max, get those books for me, k?!' he yelled walking backwards to the room we all go dress up one after the other.

I tied the towel back on my body tightly and I closed the door behind me. When I closed the bathroom door, I heard a knock on the room door.

'Yeah!' I yelled.
'Oh! Stacy, you through?' I heard his voice yell through the door.

'Yeah, you can come in' I said, ensuring that I fastened my towel very well before letting him In.

The door handle creaked and he came in and went straight to the toilet which is another room.

'How was the meeting?' I asked as I wore a shirt and a jean trouser.

'Yeah, I got news' he said as I heard him zip up his trouser.

'Ok, I'll see you downstairs' I said and as I wanted to leave, he opened the door and he called after me.

'Stacy'

I turned and he walked upto me.

'Who is Mattew to you?'

I stared at him wide-eyed. Where did he get that name from?.

Alex Cameroon P.O.V.

She stared at me like I told there's a zombie apocalypse. There's no such thing, is there?

'Where did you get that name from?' she asked in a whisper.

I shrugged and faced her properly.

'I saw it in the museum, near my brother's house' I said.

She turned back and placed her two hands on the window frame with her head bent down.

'Mattew Melghart is my dad' she said.

Whoa!

My super star is her dad! Cool!

'Well, you must know the occupation he's involved in, then' I said and took three steps forward.

'Occupation?' her voice shattered as she turned to face me.

'Please tell me' she whispered.

Tears were visibly gathering at the corners of her eyes.

'No, I don't want you to cry, I'm sorry for bringing it up' I said and walked up to her.

'Tell me' she whispered softly. Her brown eyes looks different than other girls eyes.

'Please'

I sighed and looked down.

'Your Dad... Mattew Melghart, is a musician. He's videos are the things that inspired me to be a singer' I said.

She looked down slowly to my chest, then her palms.
She smiled and nodded.

'He was a great man. Who believed in family' she said and looked up at me.

'He related with someone called Nahum Nanim. The one and most I regret, is that I never sat with him... To tell him.. how I feel, concerning him. We got a call on a Friday night, the night he was to see me, that he got an accident. And he was found dead on the wheel.
But, had a stab at the back, here in California' she said in a whisper.

She then used her palms and wiped sweat off her face as she continued.

'Let's go. Let us not keep the others waiting' she said and brushed past me, not waiting to hear my reply.

I heard her footsteps rush downstairs as I closed the door behind me.

I-I didn't know she'd pass through something like that. It's painful and excruciating.
Maybe she needs someone by her side to comfort her and stay with her always. Can I take that position? Will she let me?
My shoulders slumped down and it tells like I've been holding it up high for hours.

Stacy... Melghart.

Stacy's P.O.V

He knows my dad. My dad videos even inspired him.

I never wanted to remember that name, ever again. But, that's impossible.

'Okay guys, gather round the dining table. Let me tell you what the meeting says!' Alex yelled as he ran down the stairs.

I walked to the end part of the table and sat down, while the others sat beside themselves, I sat opposite Alex.

'Mr Sunny is in California' he said and I eyed the table as my eyebrows shot up.

'He was part of the meeting and the leaders, plus him, said the leaders of each group, are going to camp on the outskirts of california.' he said.

I raised my head up, aware of the pain my neck was going through.

'While the rest of you, will think of a way to make more gain on our leave'
He said and stood up. He laid his palms on the desk and stared directly at me with stern eyes.

'And mind you me, it's not just the leader of the Merits and the New boys that is going to be there, there are about twenty group leaders'

'Whoa! What is so important?' Maria asked and Alex shrugged.

'I don't know. We leave by Friday' he said and left the table.

The others left talking to each other without noticing me. I was the only one at the table, my head bent down and tears slowly slipped off my eyes.

'Daddy'

I love you.

Max Marco P.O.V

'What's wrong with her?'

'I don't know. Ever since they finished talking they've been acting super weird' Maria said.

'Let me go talk to'em' I said and left to Alex room.

'Hey dude, what's wrong with Stacy?' I asked as I entered his room.

'What's wrong with her?' he asked.

He looks seemingly surprised.

'She's still at the table' I said and he sighed and bit his lips.

'I'll go talk to her' Alex said and ran downstairs.

'Go get her Alex'

Alex P.O.V

So he isn't lying after all. She's still sitting down, head bowed and she's sobbing silently. No one is in the room.

'Stacy' I called.

Immediately, her head shot up and looked back at me.

'Alex, I'm sorry let's go' she said.

As she made her way past me, I clutched her elbow.

Her head was beside my shoulders when I stopped her.

'What happened?'
She didn't answer, instead, she just sighed.
'It's hard' I whispered.
She sighed and laid her head on my shoulders.

She cried like a child to the detriment of her soul.

It's painful.

Stacy's P.O.V

Daddy. Why?
