"Heylo?" AJ said into his cell phone as he picked it up.
"Alex this is your father, I really need to talk to you."
"Um alright what do you need?" he grumbled not really wanting to talk to his father.
'Well I have a confession…And I felt that it's about time you know. I mean I want you to meet her."
"What the fuck are you talking about? Are you drunk?"
"No Alex. I want you to meet someone
"Who, your hoe…oh I mean girlfriend of the week?" he grumbled wishing he could just hang up.
"No your sister…I figured it was about time you met her."
"My what??" he gasped.
"Your sister Alex. She is 20 now."
"What???"
"Her name is Tara Lynne McLean. I know where she lives and everything…she is going to being in this talent competition and I would like it if you two could meet there."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?? God all this fucking time! I would have liked to know her! Why didn't you tell me??"
"I don't know son…I was a coward. I'm telling you now. So you can meet her or not. It's your choice."
"Yeah tell me when and where and I'll be there."
***A Week Later***
AJ and his girlfriend Shauna Lewis were sitting with AJ's father in the front row of a city talent competition. "Alex Sweetie, if you want I could leave. I mean you probably will want this time alone with your sister."
"No Shauna, I want you here with me. Just sit back and relax babe. From what I hear people saying around here that Tara is a knock out performer." He said smiling as her pushed a few strands of hair away from her face.
"Then I guess you two must be related." She replied sweetly kissing his cheek.
***Later***
After the competition AJ was determined to meet his little sister. "Come on Shauna, I don't want to go alone." He said as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"I'm coming too Alex… Let me talk to her first." His father said following be side them.
"And another thing old man, to you my name is AJ…you have no rights to calling me Alex. My friends and loved ones call me that. You lost that when you walked out of my life." AJ snapped angrily at his father.
When they came up to the woman in charge. Robert, AJ's father said, "Hello would you mind telling me where Tara Lynne McLean might be?"
"She is in dressing room 3." She said pointing down the hallway.
"Thank you very much ma'am." He said as he walked toward in the direction in which she had pointed with AJ and Shauna right behind him. They reached dressing room number three and Robert hesitated before knocking and stood waiting for her to answer.
"Hi," she said as she opened her door. "How may I help you sir?"
"Sir?? She doesn't even know who the fuck you are? You really are a piece of shit ya know Robert?" AJ hissed angrily.
"Oh my gosh you're AJ McLean!!" she screeched surprised to see her favorite pop star right outside her door. "Come on in." she said seriously interested in what he was doing here. They all walked in slowly.
"Tara," AJ started but was cut off.
"How do you know my name?"
"Listen Tara, I have something to tell you." Robert said slowly. "I know you have wanted to meet me for a long time…and well here I am."
"Who are you??" she asked confused now.
"I'm your father. Honey I've come back to be in your life. I want to help you with your dreams sweetie."
"Tara please don't listen to him. I'll help you, I'll guide you, and I'll take care of you! Just please don't listen to him. He is going to use you for what you beautiful voice is worth. Trust me." AJ insisted feeling very protective toward his little sister.
"What is going on?? I am lost here. All I know is that I want you to get the fuck out of my dressing room! You're a fat bastard! You have no right; NO right to be here after all you did to my mother and me! So get the hell out now before I call security!!" She screamed at Robert.
"I'll leave for now. But I am not giving up." He said as he walked out of the room.
"Hey Tara maybe I should leave."
"No maybe you should explain what is going on. I don't know you so why did you come and what's with the interest in me staying away from my father and succeeding?"
"Well Tara, Tara Lynne McLean…you are a McLean that happens to be related to me. My sister in fact."
"What? You know what you get out too!! I don't want anything to do with you jerks you abandoned me!"
"Tara! I didn't…"
"Stuff it damnit! You and Robert can take all you're shit and shove it up your Asses! And since you won't leave I am! SO FUCK YOU!" she ranted as she stormed out of the room.
"Let's go Alex…She'll come around. I'm sure she will." Shauna said trying to get AJ to leave before he got hurt anymore.
"No Shauna I have to find out where she lives and I have to talk to her mother. I don't trust Robert to tell me the whole true story."
"Ok Sweetie. Let's go talk to the coordinator of the show. We'll figure it out. Come on." She said walking with him out of the room hoping that Tara would forgive AJ. After all this was as much of a surprise to him as it was to her.
"Excuse me Madam could I please speak to you about one of your participates?" he said to the woman who had been announcing the names before their performance.
"Depends on what you want to know." she said then looked up at AJ. "Oh if you are interested in signing any of the contestants I have to give you their parents number and or address because all they are all 18 or younger."
"18 or younger??" he asked shocked thinking *Damn Bastard doesn't even know his own daughter's age!!*
"Yes. This competition was all the students of Columbus Performing Arts High School."
"Oh ok, well I'd like the information on Tara Lynne McLean Please…if you'd like I can show identification."
"No, that won't be necessary Mr. McLean. Here you go all the information you will need to find out about signing Tara." She said hoping that one of her student really was going to be signed by a big label.
"Well before I go I'd also like to know how old Tara is."
"Tara is 18. And this paper has all you need to know on it"
"Well thank you very much ma'am. I think we'll be going now."
"Glad to be of service to you." She said smiling as AJ and Shauna walked away.
