Seeing Will, now made me not regret the decision of going to California for a month. Sure I was going to miss my friends. But now it's like a vacation for me, and I get to be with the best person in the world. Will, my boyfriend. With my siblings, & my dad roaming around California, I had to be careful with Will. Because what if he found out? I would have to explain everything to him. That Will wasn't Brooke's brother, and that I spent the night at Will's house and not Brooke's. That would be a complete mess. Something that would kill me inside if my dad found out. But we never know with my dad. I mean he's trying to spend as much time with Brady and Brooklyn, until he has to go and do music stuff with the band mates. I have gotten used to it, as I was the first born, I knew how it felt to have my dad leave for a long time. My mum would always tell me that before I was even 1 year old, I would cry for daddy. I've always been Daddy's Girl. How could I betray that spot? I mean the next person it would go to, would be Brooklyn, and she doesn't love my dad as much as I do, that's for sure!
We got to our ultra-fancy hotel, that only famous people got to get in to. Makes sense, my dad is Harry Styles. Will & I made it to my hotel room I shared with my brother and sister. I went in first to check out if anyone was there. I heard laughter so I figured it was just my brother and sister. I went in more, and then I saw my dad sitting on my bed!
"Hey Darce, come in." My dad said.
I turned around and went back out in the hallway, where Will was.
"Where's your hotel room?" I asked Will
"It's room 706." He said
"Okay, mine is 807, so just a floor down. I will meet you later, see ya." I said as I pushed Will away and I walked back into my hotel room.
"Who was that?" My dad asked curiously
"It was just a maid." I said as I came in and sat down on my bed where my dad was sitting
"Oh, ok. Broo, and Brady, go to my room and hang out with mum, i'm going to talk to your sister." my dad said directing my brother and sister to go to his room.
But as those words slipped from his red lips, my heart sunk into my stomach. I was freaking out. What if he saw Will and I? What was going to happen?
As Brooklyn and Brady left the room, my dad started to talk to me.
"So Darce. Who was that boy that sat down next to you at the beach today?" my dad asked
"It was umm, umm.." I was stuttering trying to find something for an excuse
"Darcy don't lie, I already know it's Will." my dad said glaring at me, "Is there something you would like to tell me Darcy?"
I started bawling out in tears. I didn't know what to do. I knew this day would come but why did it have to come now?
~~~
"Darcy!" My dad yelled with a forceful tone
"What?!" I snapped back
"Who is Will really?" my dad asked starting to calm down more
"He's...well...he's not Brooke's brother." I said trying to hide my face from my dad's soon to be pissed off face
"Okay..Anything else?" My dad asked
I didn't know either to tell my dad that Will was my boyfriend or not. If I told him, I could never leave this hotel room ever again. My dad wouldn't trust me. But I really felt obligated to tell him because I felt like I have been keeping so many secrets from my dad. If I told him, he would run and go tell my mom, whom of which already knew. It would make me more sad, because my dad probably wouldn't talk to me anymore. What would I do, keep another secret from my dad, or tell the truth?
"No, dad." I said with a disappointed facial on my face
"Good, now give your father a hug." he said guiding his arms towards me.
I felt a super big connection with my dad. That he didn't get mad even know I lied to him. It was nice to know he trusted me in some way. With a boy that followed me to California, that he knew I would be hanging out with him. All I could think of in that moment was me and my dad when I turned 1. I remembered the sweet tone of his still young voice singing his song that made him famous. Not many people remember when they turned 1 year old. But I do. I'm grateful for that. I love my dad. And i'm happy to be called his eldest child. <3>
"Go hang out with Will tonight. I don't care. Have fun! You're 14!" my dad said as he walked out the room proud as ever.
