"Just keep the hood up for a little while longer until we're on the motorway, okay, pickle?"

Harry quizzed as he drove the car out of the parking lot, driving past the paparazzi that were lined up, awaiting to take photos of the superstar, and try and catch a quick photo of the infamous daughter, so they could then sell the photos on for millions.

'Harry Styles mystery daughter's face captured for the first time' Would be the main headline for about a year!

River stayed silent.

The paparazzi always effect the eleven year old girl in different ways.

The list was endless.

• she would get pretty severe headaches c
• she would have panic attacks throughout the day and sometimes during the night, resulting in Harry waking up due to the baby monitor he still kept on his bedside table,
• it would cause her whole body to ache sometimes,
• she wouldn't sleep that night,

Like I said, the list was endless.

"Y'can lift your head up now, pickle, there's no paps out here, we're alright"Harry soothed, his pinky reaching out and interlocking with his daughter's.

She nodded her head, still refusing to speak, the truth was she just didn't know what to say.

She could feel tears setting the back of her eyes, she didn't want to cry.

These people Meant nothing to her, yet they still affected her in such stressful ways.

"Riv, are you sure your okay? You've hardly spoken this journey"Harry asked, turning the car, his eleven year old watching as he drove through the back entrance of the hotel.

"Yeah"her voice came out hoarse and croaky.

She hadn't spoken since they were in the gym and that was about fifteen minutes ago.

Harry was worried.

Putting the car in park, Harry turned to look at his little girl, tilting her chin up to look at each other. "— talk to me pickle, what's bothering you?"

"The paps"

And just like that Harry's heart broke in two.

He knew that his daughter would be subjected to cameras the second she was placed in his arms, it was when One Direction were just getting started.

But hearing his daughter and how the cameras had affected her he couldn't help but let his hurt weep.

"Sweet girl, I'm sorry"

River raised her hand up and started playing with the cross necklace that was around his neck, offering her a form of comfort. "— don't be sorry, daddy, it's not your fault"

Hearing that made his dad heart heal just that little bit.

"How about we go inside and watch a movie? Cuddle under some blankets and order a hot chocolate from room service?"Harry suggested, trying to make the situation better.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The hot chocolate and cinnamon swirls had just been delivered and were placed on the coffee table.

Harry situated himself next to his pickle on the sofa in the hotel room in Los Angeles, bundles of blankets draped over the two of them as River tucked her 'Harry the bunny' under her armpit.

"What do you feel like watching?"H asked, wrapping an arm around his sweet girls shoulder, drawing her closer to him if that was at all possible.

"Eternals"
