Shades Of Styles

It's your daughters first day of school

"I'm not ready for this" I sigh talking to my husband Harry.

"It will be fine" he informs me.

"My nerves are on edge, can we just make this another day?" I ask.

"No, this has to happen today"

"But why? Whats one day?"

"(Y/N), you're being selfish"

"I'm so sorry Harry, I don't want to let her go"

"Its one day for 5 hours. Its fine"

"Something tells me you want her to leave"

"Since Katie was born we haven't got a moment to ourselves. After 4 years we can finally be with each other and not have to worry about Katie running in to disturb us" he says leaning on biting his lip.

"I don't care. I don't want her to leave. Not yet" I shake my head.

"(Y/N), why are you so nervous about this?" he whines.

"What if other kids pick on her? What if she gets lost or hurt?"

"She won't get picked on, she will be the one picking on people. And there are adults there to make sure nothing happens. We have to leave in 10 minutes so you need to calm down. Katie is really excited about this. You should be to"

"Your right Harry-your right. I'm being paranoid for nothing" I finally agree with him. I'm still a little nervous about leaving her somewhere for 5 hours 5 days out of the week. It's just, I have never been away from here ever. She's been around me every day since the day she was born. And now she's going to be gone for 5 hours every day five days a week.

"Hey Katie, ready to go?" Harry asks Katie as she comes in.

"Yeah, I can't wait to go to school! Am I going to make friends?"

"Of course, everyone is going to be your friend" Harry smiles at her.

"Yay!" she shouts and I smile at her excitement.

"Okay Katie. This is it. Once you go in this room there is no turning back" I warn her right before we walk in.
"Don't phrase it like that" Harry says.
"Sorry I just don't think she wants to go"
"Yes I do" she nods and I frown.
"Okay...well there will be no mommy and daddy here to do anything for you"
"I know." theres an obvious annoyance in her voice. She's annoyed by me I know but its really hard to leave her here.
"Okay, well I guess its time to go now. I'll see you at 1 okay?"
"Okay mommy" she lets go of my hand and runs in. After a minute two children have already started talking to her and I smile with tears brimming my eyes.
"She's all grown up" Harry says putting his arm around me.
"Yeah she is"
