“I’m not saying forever. Just please, give me time to process this. I just can’t right now. It’s still too fresh.”

Taking my daughter in my arms, I leave him there, defeated.

I hate myself for having to do this to him, but I can’t risk my baby girl’s life.

This is the right thing to do. Right?

Lucy won’t answer my calls and won’t open her door. I’m not even sure if she’s been staying at her apartment.

Three days have passed since she left me at the hospital.

I miss them like crazy.

I haven’t heard my little birdie’s voice and told her I miss her, and I love her in three days.

It’s a lifetime.

When Lucy left me there in the hospital, I felt helpless, like there was nothing I could do to make things right for them.

She doesn’t even know I’m not in the band anymore.

I know what happened to her and our daughter was awful. But shutting me out of their lives isn’t any better.

They need me just as much as I need them.

This situation sucks.

I talked to my lawyers, and we are pursuing legal action, not just against the label but against Ty, Jerry, Stan, and whoever else was personally involved in the decision to use Lucy and Aurora in relation to me in the media.

They are the reason the paparazzi were after my girls, so they will pay.

I don’t need their money, but they need to know this is not okay. This shit has consequences, and they should learn that the hard way.

Hoping to see my girls around town, I have been driving around each day, praying for even a glimpse of them.

So far, I’ve had no luck.

A sign for a liquor store lights up as I drive by on the way back to my hotel as darkness falls.

Fuck. It’s been so long, but my throat is parched just looking at that light.

I pull into the parking lot.

Stopping in front of the glass doors, I park the car.

I want a sip of something. Just to wet my throat.

I grip the wheel, keeping myself anchored inside the car.

My little girl deserves better than a drunk dad.

But I haven’t seen my little girl in three days, and I can stop at any time, right? I did it once, I know I can do it again.

I rock myself back and forth.
