In Time With You (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 10: A blast to Rebecca's past

Chapter 10:

REBECCA'S PERSPECTIVE:

"Dad?"

I said in pure shock while watching him in front of me, surprised as well. My father, Nathan Saunders was standing right in front of me. I haven't seen him since my parents divorced when I was 8.

"Rebecca?" he mumbles back and observed my face properly. "What the hell are you doing here in London?" he snapped. My eyes widened a bit at what he just said. After 9 years of not seeing him, this is the first thing that he had old me. "I-I just moved here last week, I'm going to study in University of Cambridge" I said rather proudly. Harry shifted much closer to me, making sure that his presence was still here.

Dad's eyes left mine and went over to Harry. "Is this your boyfriend?" he asked, not turning his gaze away from Harry. I just nodded and looked at Harry. Who was wearing a nervous smile on his face. I watched as Harry stretches his arms out to my father. "It's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Harry" Harry greeted while my father studied his face. "Hey, are you from that boy band One Direction?" Father asked and Harry nods, "Yes sir" he said and Dad gave me an icy glare. "Why are you dating him, Rebecca? He is Harry Styles. Better known as a heart breaker! You really are a stupid girl! You want nothing but attention. I remember that I told you not to have a boyfriend yet. How can you be so stubborn Rebecca?" he said angrily and that sent me to the edge. I felt my eyes water at his words.

His words tore me up inside. "How can you judge him? You don't know him personally! The only thing that you know is what the camera is saying. So stop judging my boyfriend like you know him!" I defended, I gave Harry's hand a tight squeeze, making sure that he is calmed down. "I don't care about him, Rebecca! Why did you have a boyfriend? I remember that I told you not to have a boyfriend until you finish you studies! I never gave you permission! I am your father Rebecca! You'll follow everything I want you to do" he snarled while walking closer towards me.

I felt my blood boil because of angriness. "Permission? I don't need your permission. Maybe you're my father. My biological father. But I don't remember that you've been a father to me" I said sarcastically that made his face look angry even more.

"How could you say that, Rebecca? I-"

"You never cared about me. You never loved me" I cut him off with my soft voice. "You never cared about me. Am I really your daughter?" I cried. "You never even treated me as a person" I added and his face seemed to relax a bit. "Remember when someone accidentally stabbed my legs with ice skates and I lost a lot of blood? Remember when I was just about to die at that moment?" I asked, pain is eating me a lot as I remember that day. "Where are you at that time? Where are you when I needed my father?" I shouted at his face.

"Grandaddy was at Canada at that time. But he flew right away when he heard it. But you, you were in the same country as me. But you were never there" I sobbed heavily. I can feel myself weak as I thought about that time.

"And now you're telling me that I need your permission?" I furrowed my eyebrows at hin as I was taking a few step back. "You were never there. I followed everything that you said because I thought that maybe when I followed everything you said, I will feel your love! I gave up my whole childhood..." I sobbed even harder as I remember those days that they never let me do anything as a child.

He looked pained and his eyes were full of regret, but I didn't care. Because he never cared about me. "I knew I said a lot today, but I can't help it! It hurts so much" I whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"I don't even know what to call you anymore, Nathan" I said theough gritted teeth and he looked gobsmacked at what I just said. This time I never called him 'Dad' or 'Father'.
