Everyday seemed to follow the same schedule: wake up, shower, eat, work, paint, eat, bed. And everyday it looked like this.

I was too depressed to care for my own needs that I had to have Harry help me. I know I'm being a burden but I just can't bring myself to do the daily tasks that I should be able to do.
We sat at the bar. I stirred my cereal with a spoon. Some splashed out. "MJ, please eat." "I'm not hungry." "Your dad still loves you." I looked up. "That's not what his is about." "Than what is it about?!" He snapped, I snapped. "Honoring my mother." I got off the barstool and smacked it into the island. "Mara." He called after me. "Jut go to work."
Steph tagged along with me. We went to hangout with my friends Joice and Holly. "How's going on in Mara's world?" Joice asked. I saw Steph give her the don't ask that face. "Sorry." She whispered. "Dads dating again." Holly gulped. "How long has it been?" "5 years." 5 years since mum died. "Maybe this is a good thing." Hilly said. Once again Steph gave a look that said no. "Maybe." That surprised Steph, coming from my mouth. "Or maybe not."
I walked into the studio. "They're recording." The receptionist said. "Louis called me to come in." "I'll get him." She pressed a few buttons and then he came to the front. "What's going on?" I asked. "That painting..." "What about it?" "I know some people." "What do you mean?" "Mara, the Guggenheim wants to exhibit your painting." "Oh my god!" I covered my mouth. "Louis that amazing!" I couldn't find the words to describe what I was feeling. "What's it called?" He asked as I hugged him. "Art Of Wonder."
I made my way to dads. This was getting out of hand. I knocked on the door. When he opened it he gave me a sentimental look. "I'm sorry." Apparently I can't get 2 words out without crying. Without skipping a beat he pulled me into his arms. "You remind me so much if your mother." I giggled though the tears. "Stubborn and persistent." "Dad." I wined. "Remember when you quit Area? You were not coming back. You were gonna build MJ design from the ground up." He kissed my cheek. "I'm so proud of you." "So who's the girl?" "Girl!? God Mara, I haven't started a relationship!" "What?" "You thought I was in a relationship?" He laughed. "Well yeah." "Be honest with me?" "Mmm mmm." "How did mum put up with me for so long?"
Louis bought and planned a trip to Bilabao in less than an hour. My dad couldn't be prouder, Louis couldn't feel more grateful, his heart was full, Harry was just as astounded as me, David rolled his eye because yet again I'm back in the running for best child. Everyone else was proud, but not as proud as dad. It feel good to forgive and forget. Our family is stronger and our love is lasting. Then things started to turn around.
"Mara you always say no." I couldn't help but laugh every time Harry asked me to marry him. I was folding laundry and he kept bringing it up. "Stop it. I've told you enough time that I don't need a stupid paper that says I'm in love. My heart says yes and your heart says yes. Bingo, it's settled." "You are one stu-" "Stunning?" "And stubborn person." "Ow." I groaned. "But mostly stunning." "What's really we doing tonight?" I ask. "Movie night with the guys." "Sounds perfect to me. What movie?"
"Why?! Why would he do that!" "I know! What an awful thing!" The credits of the princess and he frog rolled. They are crying over the death of the cricket. The fucking cricket! "Would you grow up?" I say with a disgusted look on my face. "So beautiful though." Liam says. "I agree, perfectly written." Niall agrees. I roll my eyes. "Mara." Steph takes my hand and we walk into another room. "Yeah?" She showed me her phone. It was a picture of her and Louis kissing at Coachella. With the caption: These past few days have had their ups and downs. This man right here, is my up. The picture was waiting to be posted. "Is Louis ok with it?" "Yeah, he told me he was ready." "Do it, Steph." She beamed. That little button to post a picture on Instagram forever changed her life. I remember when I did it. There was no going back.
