Lydia P. O. V.

The white was blindingly bright. Hehe it rhymed! I looked around and saw nothing it was just an empty expanse. I heard someone clear their throat behind me so I whirled around to find none other than my dad. My jaw dropped, eyes bugged out, mind sputtered and coughed. "Hey, baby girl." He said gently. My mouth opened and closed trying to get words to come out. "Dad?" I finally sputtered. He rolled his eyes playfully. "No it's your Aunt Crystal, duh it's dad!" He said laughing. I ran to him and hugged him as hard as I possibly could. I breathed in real deep and I loved it. It was as if he never left. He never looked better. Then I frowned and pulled away. "Am I..am I dead?" I asked. He shook his head no, chuckling. "Hey! I didn't know! I just open my eyes to bright light and you who are dead so you can't blame me for asking!" I said sticking my tongue out an crossing my arms. Shaking his head he looked up, "and your mother wondered where you got your fireryness from." I rolled my eyes. "Hmm. I guess." "Speaking of your mother..." "Let's not and say we did!" I interrupt. He sighs and nods in agreement though I know it'll come back up again later. A few seconds later a black couch poofs out of thin air. "Sit. We need to talk about some things." He motions to the couch. I give him a weird look but sit down. He takes a seat next to me. He sighs running a hand over his face. That's his "I'm not ready for this" move. "So there's some things we need to talk about." I nodded. "Shoot." I said leaning back into the couch. "Abby and Drew. Well that was an interesting scenario. I'm a bit sad, I thought they would make it to marriage. But anyway. I need you to tell Drew something for me. I know he's beating himself up thinking that he broke his promise to me by screwing it up with Abby. He hasn't broken anything, well except her heart but that's not the point. The point is I'm proud of him and he's done his best and that's all you can ask of him." I nodded again, "Continue." I said. "And Abby. I don't even want to know all the things I know," he shivered,"but she's a good girl sort of. And you young lady have been spending a LOT of time with her. She's rubbing off on you in more ways than one. And this Niall fellow. He's kind of weird don't you think? I'm keeping a close eye. And I don't even WANT to know what goes on behind closed doors with them. Just be careful with her too I just want you safe. I'm not scolding just a hint of warning. Tell her she's still my number one favorite adopted daughter." I smiled and nodded. Why now? This is crazy! I hope this isn't one of those you wake up and forget everything you just dreamt kinda things or I'll be pissed. "Moving on to the next subject. You and Mr. Styles. Very cute I like him. Sorry I can't be there to make his first time meeting the parents a living hell and a sweat box but I think he respects you well enough." "Good because I really wouldn't care whether you approved or not, pops." I grinned. He gave a teasing roll of his eyes and nudged me with his elbow. Then his face turned into one that was between sucking on a war head and thinking of the nastiest thing you possibly could at the same time. "And I am SO glad that I skipped all your little uh shall we say escapades with that young man." My jaw dropped. "Dad!" He held his hands up. "I left and blocked my ears nothing but pure silence and pure blindness to THAT." I put my head in my hands. "Oh my God. My dad, my dad's ghost mind you knows I..eeww!" My face felt like it was on fire. Like whoa. He took my hand in his. His face more serious. "I don't want a replay of what happened before with the baby, when you weren't a careful as you should've been, Lyddi. I couldn't stand it if that happened again. And you can't do that to yourself again. He's a good guy and I know he loves you just be careful." I stuttered like Whatttt? "Psh, I'm careful. Wha-what are you talking about? Ha! I got this you weren't here for that!" He looked at me like 'really?' And squeezed my hand. "Honey, I was still alive then." I sighed. "I know. And I promise that I'll be extra careful." He grinned. "That's my girl. I'm glad you're pursuing your dreams. I've sat behind you and watched you paint so many times. Every one of them is beautiful. I love your talent. And I'm so sorry that I'm not gonna be there for you first art gallery or your first concert when someone discovers you or to walk you down the aisle a your wedding. But I love you. And I'm telling you to keep going no matter who tells you that it's hopeless or that you won't make it. Because you will and it's not hopeless. So go for it, I dare you." He says. There're tears in my eyes. I realize how much I've missed his pep talks and his encouraging speeches. And his comforting hugs and his lop sided smile that he gets when he's proud of you and can't hold in his excitement. He sighs. "Now about your mom." I cover my ears and clench my eyes shut. "No, no, no, no, NO! Blabalabala! BE GONE SATAAN!" I said loudly, looking at him as he chuckled and shook his head like 'why me?' Hey! I take offense to that mister! I reluctantly lower my hands. "I don't wannaaaa!" I whine. "Lydia. It's okay. She's happy, she needs this Daniel guy." "Dad! It's only been a year!" I protest fisting my hair in my hands. "I don't know how she can just find someone just like that! I meant what I said when I yelled at her yesterday night. And at him. I meant every word. I'll move in with Harry. I can't deal with that. I won't let myself." I cried. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and rocked me back an forth gently. "Lydia, I love you. I love your spirit in this matter but you have to let her do this. You'll never forget me because well that's impossible. But I need you to cooperate with her. She's trying." I scoffed, interrupting him. "Trying my ass. She took my letter out of my room. MY letter. She showed him my music and my art! That's like total betrayal! Dad, I can't do it. I cannot sit there and think it's okay! I don't want a step dad. Good with just having a mom. It's not like I have brothers and sisters that will grow up not knowing you. I will try for you but that's as far as it goes. I'm still moving out when I go to Uni." I said. "Trying is all I ask for honey. And I think that's a good idea to move. Gives you a chance to live." I hug him again. I squeeze him tightly as if, he'd disappear if I loosened my grip. I miss him so much. Then I hear it. "Lydia." I frown and hang on to him. "Lydia!" I sake my head. "Lydia my time I up. But remember what we talked about. I love you Lydia Hope. Be good and don't be such an ass. Wake up." "Dad don't make me go. I don't want to leave you." I cry. He smiles grimly, kisses my forehead and there's a bright flash of light and he shine and the white room is replaced with two faces hovering over mine. I squint, and sit up feeling hot liquid pouring from my eyes. I look around quickly. Dad. "Morning. How are you?" Abby says. I frown. "Morning?" She nods and Drew looks curious. "Yeah you were our here all night. And Harry is worried sick." I sighed getting up, yawning and stretching and then it hits me. "Wait you left the boys at home?" "Yeahhhh, we did what's so bad abo-holy shit we left them at home with my cousins! Get on your damned horse and let's gooo!" She yelled. I jogged over to Titan and untied him from the branch and mounted up taking off to Abby's house. Arriving there I galloped down to the barn and slid off where Drew and Abby were. Drew pushed open the doors and me and Abby walked in after him. My eyes widened at the sight before me. All the boys were tied up, in a circle, I'm nothing but their boxers and they were wet. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked. Abby nodded as if wondering the same damn thing and Drew was just observing. Then all the Johnson boys stepped out of the shadows. Well, this is going to get shot to hell really quick.
