Epilogue

(Harry's POV)

-"Hey sweetie."I smile as Darcy enters the car,in the passanger's seat and her friends in the backseat.

-"It was SO great."she smiles."They were dancing and singing and I'm sure that Jimin saw me."

I chuckle as take the car out of the parking spot and enter the buzy streets of Los Angeles.I had just picked up Darcy  and her friends,Leah and Jonathan,from the BTS concert they just have been to.She was 16 now,so as a gift,I bought her front tickets for her and her friends.

-"Thank you so much,mr.Styles."Leah says."It was the best thing ever."

-"Yes,it was really fun."Jonathan says.

I smile and look at them through the mirror.

-"I'm glad you guys had fun."i say.

Darcy turns around to talk to them.

-"The new album is awesome..."she says to them,but I don't listen anymore.

I focus my eyes on the road ahead of me.Being a father is the hardest and the best job ever.I'm always happy when I can meet these standards.But today...was a hard day for me.

15 minutes later,we arrived to our house.

-"I'll drop you guys here.I have somewhere I need to run to."I say.

-"Okay,thanks dad."Darcy smiles and pecks my cheek.They get out of the car and I pull it in reverse to go out of the drive.

We had a pretty house in a calm neighbourhood of Los Angeles.I had also bought another house in London when we visit,but Darcy's school is here and her friends,so this is pretty much where my life is.

A lot of things happened these past 10 years.The band got back together at some point.That really made me happy.Till now,we brought out 4 other albums.We changed managments and we weren't over worked anymore.Still,being a singer was my side job.I was a dad full time.

I stopped the car next to a flower shop and got out of the car.I jogged inside as I waved at a few fans.

I enter the shop and the flower's scent hit my nostrils.I sop some beautiful tulips and decide to go with those.I take the bouquet and go up to the counter to pay for it.

-"Here you go."the person at the counter says,handing me back my change.

I smile and head back to my car with the bouquet.I drive outside of Los Angeles on the long and beautiful roads.It was already dark out and the moon could be seen.

Finally arriving at my destination,I park my dark car and get out,taking the bouquet with me.I walk into the grass and hold the bouquet tightly.

And finally I'm there.And she's there,waiting for me.

I look down at the grave.

Ellie Carlton,mother and fiancee,1995-2020.

Tears start to fill my eyes as I look down.I advance and put the tulips on the white grave.

-"Hi baby."i say,wiping my eyes."Today was the day we first met.When you walked into that room,looking so confident and beautiful."

The silence suffocated me.She wasn't here anymore.She will never be here anymore.

I clear my voice,trying to get rid of the lump in my throat.

-"Darcy went to her first concert today."i smile,playing with te grass,as I sat down on the ground."She was very happy.But it's so hard to be a single dad sometimes.I don't know if I told you about when she asked me to buy her stuff for her period,and i went to the drugstore,but had no idea what to do.I really wished you were here."
