Chapter 19:

Leahs POV:
I've been having nightmares of that day.
What if they come back?
What if they shoot my parents?
This is all fucked up.
I sigh and run my hand through my hair after waking up from a nightmare.
I checked my phone and nearly froze.

From: Unknown.
I suggest you meet me in the alley by the pub on 27th street, tonight. Dont say anything and just leave; or ill kill your parents.

I wanted to scream, hide , do something!
But I couldn't.
I had to sit here and do nothing.
"Be prepared to die." I heard and looked up.
A guy had a gun pointed at me.
As soon as the gun shot went off...

I woke up.
"Holy shit." I mumble and sit up.
A dream in a dream.
I grabbed my phone and saw that the message I had in my dream wasnt there.
"Oh thank god." I say and climb out of bed.
"Good morning, love." dad says and kisses my forehead.
"Morning." I smile.
"How'd you sleep?"
"Great." I lie.
"Thats good. Mum went to the store to get you some... Lady products."
"Uh; why?" I blush in embarrassment.
"I don't know. Enough of that though. Im so sorry."
"About what?" I ask.
"The... Incident."
"It wasnt your fault..."
"Yes it was." He says.
"How?"
"I-uh. I was involved with drugs when you were a baby, but got clean when I went to the army, so.. When I came back, all the stress and depression brought me to it and I owed those guys money."
I gasped and looked at my father.
"Even Harry?"
"Yep." He nods.
"Wow..."
"There's a lot you don't know about me, Leah."
"Youre my dad why dont you tell me?" I ask.
"Because... I dont want you to think of me any different then I am now."
"I won't dad." I say.

Nialls POV:
"Well, when I was a teen, I was living with your grandma, Maura. Now, she's like , 67 or something, I don't even know. But anyways, I- I was a bad kid. Since my dad and brother passed away from cancer, I was constantly having sex, doing drugs, drinking, smoking. You name it. My attitude had changed from the sweet little Niall, to an asshole. I wanted to be better for my mum, but I couldn't even be better for myself. My mum was in the kitchen making me some spaghetti, something she made for my brudder and I, and I was talking to her. My anger got the best of me, and I told her about the guy I almost killed, the one who bullied me. She got scared of me. She had that look of fear flashed into her eyes... She screamed at me and told me to get out. So being the 16 year old I was, I went and partied. I cried when I thought of my mum, but being heartless, I didnt care.

Leahs POV:
Years later, I met your mum. She was the most gorgeous girls i ever laid eyes on. My only way to make her mine was like, claim her. Say she was mine and scare her. We went through alot to he honest, but I started to noticed that ... I do have a heart. I did. And I do. I loved your mum. And I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. So I asked her to marry me, and then she got pregnant with you." He says and smiles.

I was fascinated by his story. It didnt scare me like he thought it would.it touched me. How? Well, finding out how your parents met, and the fact that he really does love my mum ... Its really amazing.

"What else happened?"
"I- I uhm, I was going to pubs and constantly fighting when I first got with your mum. She...she was scared of me. At first. She would run away from me, ignore my texts. But after we went on a date, she started to warm up, yeah, she was still... Stubborn, but that was her personality. I remember telling her my past and how supportive she was. Yeah, she was shaken up about it, but she never ran, or put a restraining order on me. And 14 years later, we have a daughter, were married and a baby on the way, and I still love her like the day I said I do. " He smiles.
"Wow. Thats ... How come mum never told me exactly how you met ?"
"I don't blame her for not telling you. It was... Crazy." He laughs,
"Youre telling me!" I say.
"Go upstairs and get dressed. We're gonna a daddy daughter day." He says.
"yay!!" I smile and run up to my room.

Maddies Pov:
"Hey babe." I smile and kiss him.
"Hey , what did you get?"
"None of your manly business." I laugh.
"Well, then. Im taking Leah out."
"Where ?"
"Youll see." I smile.
"Oh so I have to wait for you and her to get back?"
"Yepp!"
I smile and straddle his waist.
"Hows the baby?"
"Had a doctors appointment, and its doing fine."
"Yay.!" He laughs and kisses my forehead.
"So, when you gonna be back?"
"Possibly 7 PM." He smirks.
"Youre going out for almost the whole day?" I say.
He nods and smiles.
"Well, im happy, that you and her are having a day together."
"Then maybe we can have a day together." He winks and kisses me.
"Oh god ! My eyes, my teenage innocent eyes! Put it AWAY!" Leah says and laughs.
"Sorry, babe." I say.
"Dad, ready to go?" She smiled.
"Yes, love." He says and softly pushes me off his lap.
"I love you." I say and peck his lips.
"I love you, too."

Leahs POV:
"Are we almost there?" i whine.
"Like , 10 more minutes." Dad says and laughs.
"Ugh."
"So impatient, just like your mother."
"C'Mon , don't compare us!" I bite back a smile.
"Its true. You have your mums eyes, and mine, but mainly hers, her lips, which Is a good thing," he winked, "you have our hair color, mixed. You have her nose, be proud, and you have her figure," he says and pays attention to the road.
"Im sorry." I say.
"For what?"
"Everything I've done." I frown.
"Babe, dont be all sad and depressed." He says and laughs.
"I don't know. Its like everytime i'm with you or mum, I get emotional and I feel like I need to apologize, you know? Its... Its weird."
"Hmm. We're here!" He says.
"OH MY GOSH, finally!" I squeal and get out.
"Dad? What is this?"
"Follow me."
It was like, 6:00 PM, so the sun was starting to slowly go down.
I was scared.
"Its fine, Leah." he laughs and grabs my hand.
We walked for a good five minutes and I looked out.
"Oh my goodness. Its beautiful."
"Its where I took your mum on our first date."
"The one you forced her too?" I laughed.
"Exactly, Le." He says.
"Wow... Its beautiful."
"So was your mum. I remember; I had to literally beg her to come in the water. It was perfect. And I believe thats the first time she actually kissed me back." He laughed.
"Have you took her here since then?"
"No, but for our anniversary I plan on it. Shh dont tell her." He smiled.
"I won't."
"Pinkie promise?"
"Pinkie promise." I say and lock our pinkies.
"Dad?"
"Hmm?"
"How do you know when youre in love?" I ask.
"There's a lot of ways to think or know youre in love. But one thing I think is the most important, is... When you love someone, your stomach literally flips just thinking about losing them."
"Hm..."
"Wanna know a secret?"
"Sure."
"This, this lake, is exactly where I fell in love with your mum. And guess what else ?"
"What?"
"I have the second girl I love here too."
"Dad, stop. Im gonna cry." I say as I feel the tears coming.
He wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.
"I loved you since the day you were born, and Ill love you until you die... Dont ever , ever, forget that."
