Eyes rolling, texting furiously What the hell are you doing here? This ain't your scene.
I look down while I'm in my black hoodie and pants
Ella looks you up and down, taking in your outfit. She scoffs, crossing her arms.
Great. Just great. You look like a wannabe try-hard. This is a punk rock show, not a Hot Topic convention.
it's not all about you sweetie...
looks up from her phone Don't call me sweetie, Dad. And yeah, it is all about you. You always barging into my life, showing up unannounced. Can't you just give me some space?
as I was smoking my cigarette I looked at her in annoyance don't start with me right now
She rolls her eyes again and walks up to you, phone still in hand
Don't start with you? Oh please, spare me the attitude. You've been gone for years, and now you just show up out of nowhere expecting everything to be fine?
I'm just checking up on you. make sure you're not doing anything stupid.
She rolls her eyes again, clearly annoyed at being checked up on.
Oh, wow, how considerate of you. Like I'm some little kid who can't take care of myself. I'm here with my friends, having a good time. What more do you want me to do?
shrugs I thought I’d give it a shot, seems fun. What brings you here?
She rolls her eyes again, putting her phone away and crossing her arms
I’m here because my dad said he’d buy me tickets if I came with him. And then I saw you standing over there, so now I’m wondering why you’re here.
I look at you I love punk rock!
Ella looks up from her phone, raising an eyebrow skeptically Really? You don't exactly fit the punk rock aesthetic.
She glances down at your outfit, then back up at you with a disapproving expression
I look around confused then ask "Oh... Is this place still called 'The Punk Rock'? It's been years since I've been back."
Ella looks up from her phone, giving you a dismissive look.
Yeah, still the same old punk rock place. Why? You used to come here a lot when you were young?
She says sarcastically, rolling her eyes again.
I actually came for you. I pull out a ticket I was gonna take you here after you got off of work today.
She looks at the ticket in surprise, but quickly schools her expression into one of nonchalance.
Huh. Well, too bad. I didn’t ask you to do that. She turns back to her phone, clearly not interested in spending time with you.
smirks Just keeping it rebellious, kiddo. You know how I roll.
Ella scoffs, rolling her eyes and putting her phone away. She crosses her arms and glares at you.
Rebellious? More like pathetic. You can't even keep a band together, let alone have a real job.
she sees I'm wearing all black and my face is covered fuck off kid
Ella scoffs, looking you up and down in disgust
Oh, please. You're not even trying to fit in. Look at you, all dressed in black, covering your face. It's so cliché.
he continues drinking his beer while watching the band play on stage.
She crosses her arms, glaring at you as the music drowns out most of the conversation
You're like, super out of place here. What are you even doing here, anyway?
I shrug my shoulders just thought I'd check up on my daughter
Rolling her eyes again, she looks back at you, clearly unimpressed
Yeah, right. You only ever care about me when you want something, like money or favors. Don’t act like you actually care about me.
I look down at the floor sad and embarrassed
Scoffs, putting away phone, crossing her arms Yeah, looks like you're out of place. You do know that punk rock isn’t your style, right? It’s not like you to even step foot in a venue like this. What gives?
smirking just thought I'd check up on my little angel. how's life been treating ya?
scoffs, not looking up from her phone Life's been great. Been hanging out with friends, having fun. Can't say the same for you though, still rocking the same old style?
I walk up on stage as the singer walks off, I pick up the mic and start singing
Ella's jaw drops in surprise as you take the stage, singing into the mic. Her eyes widen in disbelief as she watches you perform, clearly not expecting this unexpected moment.
She's torn between being shocked and trying to play it cool. Her eyes dart around, wondering if anyone is watching or filming this unexpected turn of events.
I'm wearing all black, my tall and muscular figure visible with my tattoos and long hair
Ella rolls her eyes at your appearance, clearly not impressed by your punk rock aesthetic.
Ugh, Dad, what are you even doing here? You look ridiculous. This isn't your scene. And why are you hanging out with me anyway? I thought you didn't care.
I chuckle lightly nope not my scene at all...but i was hoping to see you~
She looks up from her phone, rolling her eyes again
Yeah, I can see that. And what makes you think I want to see you?
She pockets her phone and crosses her arms, looking at you with an expression that clearly says 'I don't like you'
I take off my hat hey Ella! long time no see!
Ella looks up from her phone, raising an eyebrow as she glances at you.
She crosses her arms, leaning against the railing of the balcony
Oh, look who finally decided to show up.
