Liar, liar! Oh you don't ever tell the truth
Liar, liar! Can't nobody see you're fireproof?Follow you to dust
Leavin' footprints on the clouds as we're walkin' home
Iron hearts all turn to rust
By tears and the daze on the diamond street
Kiss these apocalypse

Chasin' shadows, livin' dreams that don't exist, anymore
We need to find a way

Well, we are, who we are, and we're all goin' under
We're the past, we're the last, and will last until we're underLiar, liar! Oh you don't ever tell the truth
Liar, liar! Can't nobody see you're fireproof?

-Liar Liar (Avicii)


"What are you doing here Michael?" Cam snapped
"I want to see my daughter!" An unfamiliar voice growled.
"No, I'm putting my foot down. She has done well enough without you around," a more identifiable one said.
Sammy sat up, awaking Reilly who had an arm around her. He yawned and stretched, not noticing how worried she looked. He looked up to find her staring at the wall out in the hallway intently like she was trying to hear.

"Cam you know I didn't want to go away like that," The voice argued, "I would've been there if i could have."
"You made a choice to sell those drugs and you almost killed somebody!" Cam said softly with a warning edge, "You know you would have been caught sometime,"
"I was trying to support my family Cam!" The voice rose, "I was a 26 year old high school drop out with 2 kids, and no skills. Who would have hired me?"
"You never came to me, you never said that you needed help!" Cam yelled, "Instead you got yourself locked up for the 3rd time and you ruined part of those kids' lives!"

Sammy scrambled out of the bed and to the door. Reilly stood up and pulled her back gently.
"I need to see him Reilly," She whimpered
"Are you sure?" He asked softly.
She nodded her head and tugged him back to the entrance. They peeked their heads out into the hallway only to be met with Cam's tall figure. He had his back to them and the man he was talking to was standing infront of him. They couldnt see his face, and Sammy really wanted Cam to move out of the way so she could see.

She scooted out farther, only to trip in her eagerness and fall. Reilly would've laughed if they weren't in such a serious situation. He helped her to her feet, but it was too late. Cam looked outraged. Michael stepped closer, revealing his looks.
Sammy and the man stared at eachother for a couple moments, taking eachother in. He looked like someone from the mafia. Sam knew she was part italian, but this was more than she imagined. He had darker skin and balding black hair. He wasn't too tall, and he looked like a man who had weathered a lot. His eyes were dark and cold and it sent chills up her spine.

But the coldness in his eyes went away as soon as he recognized his daughter.
"My little girl," He smiled, "Samantha,"
She was still in shock, and she had no idea how to react. Reilly was practically holding her up because she had lost all the strength in her body. Tears of confusion and sadness pricked at her eyes. No he was dead. She knew it.

But then how was he standing here? Right before her. In the living flesh. Alive.

Alive.

He started to come towards her.
"Take her Reilly!" Cam ordered
Reilly quickly acted, only angering her father.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her," Michael snarled at Reilly.
Reilly glared at him. Who was he to tell Reilly what to do with his own girlfriend? Hell Reilly had been in her life more than this guy had. He had no place.

"C'mon honey," He said as calmly as he could, tugging Sam's arm, "Let's go,"
Sam nodded and followed him. She trusted Reilly. She was developing strong feelings for him. As far as she was concerned, this wasn't her father. Cam was more of a father.
"I don't know who you think you are, taking her away from her father!" Michael yelled, "Samantha come back here this instant!"
"Go to hell," Reilly flipped him off.

"You lied to me!" Sammy wailed, "you told me he was dead!"
Cam felt guilty as his pride and joy crumbled onto the floor. She was sobbing and rocking back and forth.
"Sammy I didnt mean for it to be like this," He sighed, "You don't understand,"
"Yes I do!" She squealed, "He is ALIVE, not DEAD! And you lied to me my entire life!"

"I was trying to keep you safe, he went to jail Sam," He said, "He has problems,"
She sniffled, "What do you mean?"
"He and your mother had marc when they were 17," He said, "Your dad had to dropout of school to support your mom. He never graduated, and the only way he made money was by selling some drugs to the other teenagers,"
"So he did his best to support us," she defended her father, "What else was he supposed to do?"

"Then one night, the buyer didnt bring all the money, and your Dad shot him. The police came and arrested him. He was in jail for 15 years on attempted murder and serveral accounts of drug trafficking. He just got off parole a month ago,"
She sat silently on the floor.

"Do you see now?" Cam asked, "Would you rather think of your dad as a criminal or someone who died with honor?"
She sniffled, "Died with honor,"
"Exactly," He nodded, "I just wanted you to not worry about it,"
"So what now?" Sammy sighed
"I dont know kiddo," Cam rubbed his chin, "I just don't know,"
