The Broken and Hurt (Niall Horan)

life inserts: #2

april, 2022

Dear Niall,

well its been about 6 years since I last wrote a long letter like this. A lot has happened. good and bad. but thats how life is, no one has a perfect life where nothing goes wrong.things just need to run their course.

ill get to the good things first i guess.

1. i will be graduating from secondary university in about a month! Ive been offered a job for criminal pyschology in Chicago for the Special Victims Unit. so after i graduate ill head home for a couple of weeks to catch up with family and friends, to visit you of, course. i hope youre holding up. :) then ill be flying back to the States to look for an apartment and begin working. hopefully, ill be able to last against all that Chicago has t offer me.

2. eddie is going into year 10!! hes growing up so fast! i remember when he was younger and we all went ice skating and that lady thought we were a family. i suppose we were and still are. but ed is freaking out about it. my mum called me and told me all about how he is shaving, frenzing about girls and wearng an ungodly amout of cologne, so shes trying help him. i think she said Ed bought one that smelled like your favouite one, so that be a bit hard when i get home. ill survive.

3. James asked me to marry him! ill admit i cried. alot. we have been dating for 6 years, i suppose it was time. He popped the question about 2 months ago. so hes coming back home with me and to chicago. once there we need to figure out something i guess. but im ot worrying about it now, i stil have plenty of time. ill tell you all about it when we figure it out.

To the bad news now.

1. Gemma's grandparents died 13 days part. i flew back there to comfort her and the family. her grandparetns were such great people so it hurt me too. i still feel awful and it happened last year. the family is cooping.

2. well this one is....um...awful. terrible. Maggie was diagnsised with ovarian cancer earlier this year. SHes gone into surgery to remove the malicious tumours before they could spread throughout her body. shes on her third round of chemo and after it shes going to have radiation. they doctorss said that she wont be able to have children at all even through inverto. it left her gutted.she cried for days. tony told me that maybe when maggie finishes that they might adopt a child. i dont think it will be the same as having a baby of your traits and genes. ill let you know how it all plays out.

3. Gemma told me that your parents tried sueing my mum for kidnapping which was apparently a violent altercation. . so they went to court to straighten it all out and your parents ended up in jail for 25-30 years for child neglect, child abuse, domenstic violence and attempted murder. so that news is bad and good.

well niall, thats whats been happening on this side. just know that we all still miss you very much. that you will never be forgotten. oh james wants to see to come with me when i come visit you because he wants to meet the guy that has made me so happy and so compassionate. so i hope you dont mind. this letter is coming to an end. i lve you still so much. see you later.

- Elizabeth.

Dear Niall,

3 years have past since i last wrote. i havent had much time t sit down and relax. wonderful things have happened since then.

1. james and i got married two years ago and we couldnt be happier. it was my dream wedding. we had a smallish wedding, only abut 310 family and friends, the beautiful landscape of Colorado and the dress was similar to one from the 1930's or 1940's. THe ceremony was sweet and to the point. the honeymoon a cruise through the scandnavian nations, which were absolutely stunning and breath- taking.
