Confessions and the truth

-Nelly-

Everyone hopped in the car. I laid down across dad, Niall and Harry. Liam and Zayn said they were the most responsible so they had to sit in the front. Dad argued with Liam for like 5 minutes about driving. 

It took 20 minutes to get home, and that ride home consisted of the boys singing and dancing and also a few minutes of me trying to tell them to shut up. They wouldn't, so i gave up.

"Princess, we are home." Niall said quietly in my ear, probably thinking i was sleeping.

i hummed a response.

"Come on Nells, lets go. you can go inside and lay down all day. I promise. Well, its about five already. So you can lay down the rest of today and however long tomorrow. Do i have to carry you?" Harry said trying to get me to move. I nodded my head.

I got picked up and taken out of the car. The warm summer breeze hit me and it felt amazing. I wish it was like this everyday and all of the time. That would be awesome. All of a sudden cold air hit me and i shivered.

"cold?" Daddy asked me. I just nodded my head. Right after i got put on the couch then a big fluffy blanket got rapped around me.

After about 10 minutes of the boys talking and me just sitting there listening, i decided to ask dad something while everyone was here.

"Dad?" I called.

"Yes princess?"

"Why did you leave?" I asked quietly. I looked at him and guilt spread across his face.

"Well, when me and Harry were fighting he said you were probably upstairs crying because of us. So after we stopped fighting, i ran upstairs to go see. Then i saw you crying with Zayn, Liam and Niall all around you. I felt like you were crying about me and that i was a bad father. I felt like im a bad father because that should be me holding you in my arms as you cry." He said shyly.

"THAT SHOULD BE ME HOLDING YOUR HAND, THAT SHOULD BE ME MAKING YOU LAUGH, THAT SHOULD BE ME THIS IS SO SAD. THAT SHOULD BE ME!" Niall screams. I giggled because i know that song.

"Dad, you've got it all wrong. While you guys were fighting, i went to Niall's room and grabbed a guitar. I started strumming and singing a little. I put random things together while i was singing. When i finished Liam, Zayn and Niall were all at my doorway. I then realized that my song reminded me of my mom. I was crying because of how much it did remind me of her. Then they all hugged me. You're not a bad dad. You make me feel like my real dad was never gone. And that you were my dad this whole time." i said while a few tears fell from my eyes.

"Nelly! Im so sorry!" He said running up to me and envoloped me into a hug. I hugged him back and thats when all the tears came out.

i let go and looked at him. His eyes were puffy and red.

"I'm tired and my head hurts." i say laying down on Harry's lap and looking away.

I pulled the blanket over my head so i dont have to look at them. They have such sad faces on it makes me want to cry.

"Nells, its only 7. lets go do something fun!" Niall begged.

I shook my head, then forgot that i have a blanket over my head so they can't see me. "No."

"Why not?" Niall whined.

"Because my head hurts and im tired!" I complained.

"Nelly, i got you some medicine. Here take it." Liam, i think said.

I lifted the blanket up to my eyes so i can see. I looked up and saw Harry's green eyes and dimples showing, dad sitting next to him, Liam right in front of them, and Niall right in front of me with his face in mine.
