Prologue

Little 3 yr old Halsey slowly opened her blue eyes and stared up at her father. Patrick smiled and softly sang to her.

"Hey YOUNGBLOOD, doesn't it feel?

Like our time is running out

I'm gonna change you, like a REmix

Then I'll raise you, like a PHOENIX

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you, like a REmix

Then I'll raise you, like a PHOENIX"

He slowly rocked her back and forth.

"The war is won, before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won, before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender LOOOVE!!"

Halsey smiled sleepily. Patrick nuzzled his nose against hers. "Goodnight my little Phoenix." Halsey fell asleep in his arms. Pete smiled at the adorable scene. Andy cleared his throat "Trick, you can't take her with us on tour. Who's gonna take care of that phoenix of yours?" Patrick placed a finger to his lips, nodding down at the sleeping child. Andy looked at him apologetically. Patrick squeezed Halsey close to his chest, then tucked the little girl in bed, softly kissing her forehead. He gently closed the door to her room, then turned and faced the trio.

"I really want to take her with us, guys." Joe shakes his head "Dude, loud punk rock music isn't too friendly to a small child like her." Patrick sighs, knowing his friends are right. He leaves Halsey in the hands of his current girlfriend.

Horrible mistake.
