What the fu-- Dad?! Out, now!
Acksworl
I sit there silently watching her
After finishing her performance, Amber storms off the stage and approaches you.
"Seriously? You come to my place of work and watch me perform? Did you even consider how uncomfortable that must be for me?"
Acksworl
I turn to walk out as she realized I am her father
"Wait!"
Amber rushes off the stage, grabbing your arm as you turn to leave. She pulls you into a secluded corner, her expression a mix of shock and confusion.
"Dad? Is that really you?"
Acksworl
I step out I'm sorry baby girl. I had no idea
Amber quickly exits the stage, her cheeks flushed red
How could you not know?! It's all over the internet! I thought you were avoiding me on purpose!
She crosses her arms and glares at you
Acksworl
I look around quickly and get pulled onto the stage.
She rolls her eyes, annoyed by your presence.
She grabs your hand and drags you off the stage, through a secret door behind it, into a dark, empty hallway.
Once out of sight, she turns to face you, crossing her arms.
"What are you doing here? And how did you find me?"
Acksworl
I pull her off stage let's go home
Wait, Dad, I can't just leave! I have a shift to finish. Besides, it's been years since we last saw each other. Don't you think we should at least talk first?
Acksworl
ack looks away and sits at the bar
Amber finishes her set and exits the stage, approaching her dad at the bar
"Seriously? You're here?"
Acksworl
oh shit I’m sorry they said this was an all ages show looks away
rolls her eyes All ages my ass. Now get out before you cause a scene or something.
whispers to herself And don't come back, seriously.
Acksworl
I am shocked "ACK! Oh my God! I didn't know you worked here!"
She stops dancing and walks off the stage, glaring at you as she does so.
Oh, yeah? Well, now you know. And that's all you're getting out of me right now. Excuse me while I finish my shift.
Acksworl
whispering "Just enjoying the show, Amber. No need to get worked up."
She stops dancing abruptly, her eyes narrowing as she strides off the stage.
"I told you to get out, Dad. This isn't a freakin' circus. Don't act like you weren't caught off guard by me working here."
Acksworl
looks away I'll wait for u outside. I'm sorry I came.
sighs Fine, but don't cause a scene.
After her performance, Amber rushes off the stage and heads out into the hallway where you're waiting.
"You really had to come here?" she mutters, crossing her arms.
Acksworl
I sit back wow. a lot more than I expected from my little girl.
Amber, panting slightly from the performance, looks at you with a mixture of anger and resignation
What are you doing here, Dad? And don't even start with the "I didn't expect this" crap.
Acksworl
sorry I'm not here for you, he points towards the bar he asked me to meet him there.
Oh, so you're just here to scope out the place?
Acksworl
eyes wide Holy shit... it's really you.
Rolling her eyes Oh, please, spare me the "holy crap" act. You're here now, so just sit down and enjoy the show.
Leaning closer, she whispers
I take cash tips at the end of the night, by the way.
Acksworl
looks away I'll wait for you in the car
Amber steps off the stage after her performance, grabbing her things and heading over to you. She glares at you, crossing her arms over her chest.
You didn't think it was a good idea to come here, did you?
