***Leah***

A month has pasted and tour is nearly over. We are all back in London to finish the tour. 

I'm still not sure whats going on with me and Harry. Its like were dating but were not, its so confusing. I don't know if im ready for a relationship and i don't want to hurt Harry. I don't know what to do?

It was just a normal day. Well so i thought....

3pm. 

"Leah, you can finish now. The shop should be quiet from now on and i don't need you to do anything anything else" My manager said to me while escorting me out of the shop.

"Are you sure you don't need me for a little longer?" I asked, i really needed the money.

"I'm sure, enjoy your afternoon" He said as he closed the shop door.

I started to walk home, stopping off at a few clothes shops on the way.

I finally arrived home after an hour.

"I'm home" I shouted as i walked through the front door. I took my shoes and jacket off and threw my bag under the stairs.

"Oh there you are Leah, something bad has happened" My mum said as she came running towards me, crying.

"Whats wrong? whats happened?" I asked confused while my mum hugged me crying. 

"Its your dad, hes not well, pack your things we are going back to Ireland" My mum said as she let go of me.

I swear i felt my heart stop beating inside me. My mouth fell to the floor and i went numb. I didn't know what had happened to my dad but i knew it was serious, because my mum stopped caring for him when she re-married. 

I ran upstairs and i hadn't unpacked my suitcase from tour. I threw my old clothes out and grabbed any clean clothes i had, and put them in. I zipped up my suitcase and carried it downstairs. I put my shoes and jacket back on and picked up my bag from under the stairs.

Me and my mum  had checked into the airport and now we had to wait a few hours for our plane. 

We sat there.... in silence, holding hands. Not a word was spoken and i couldn't even hear a breath. 

Suddenly, Niall and Harry came running towards me and my mum.

"Niall...Harry...what are you two doing here?" I asked shocked, wiping the tears from my eyes.

"My mum told me about your dad" Niall said.

"And Niall told me" Harry quickly said, out of breath from running.

"That's all well and good but what are you doing here?" I asked, still in shock.

"Isn't it obvious Lea?" Niall said.

"We are coming with you" Harry said as he got out his plane ticket. 

I hugged them both and they both rested their hands on my waist. They then both hugged my mum,  separately. 

Our plane finally came and we all got on. Off to Ireland we go.

* * * * 

We finally landed at Dublin airport and now we had to sit in a car for an hour to get from Dublin airport to Mullingar. 

The hour soon pasted and we got to Mullingar hospital. 

Me and my mum rushed through to my dads hospital room.

"Daddy" I said as i ran up to him and hugged him.

"My sweet baby, what are you doing here" My dad said, so softly. 

"How are you doing Paul?" My mum asked as she gave him a hug.

"Claire, you came" He said as they hugged. 

"Nialler lad, how are you" My dad said as he spotted Niall and Harry in the corner.

"I'm good Sir, how are you?" Niall said as he shook my dads hand.

"Good, and who is this?" My dad asked as he pointed to Harry.

"I'm Harry Sir, Harry Styles" Harry said as he shook my dads hand too.

It was now 7pm and we had been at the hospital now for 3 hours.

"Whats wrong with you daddy?" I asked, in my Irish accent. It was just me and him in the room.

"I'm sorry darling, i didn't want to tell you like this" My dad started.

"Tell me what?" I asked, scared. My heart was racing. 

"I'm dying, i have lung cancer and im not strong enough to fight it this time..." My dad said as he held my hand.

My whole world jut fell apart in a matter of seconds.

"What do you mean 'this time'" I said, crying.

"I have had this before but last time i was strong, this time i can't be cured" My dad said, holding onto my hand tighter. 

"Why didn't you tell me" I cried.

"Because i was strong and you were happy" My dad said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I love you daddy" I said as i wiped my eyes.

"Its time for us to go Lea" Niall said as he pulled me away.

"NO I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HIM" I screamed. I cried.

Mine and my dads hands slowly separated apart. Niall was pulling me away.

"NIALL PLEASE, I CAN'T LEAVE" I said before Niall took me out the room.

"DAD" I screamed.

"I'm sorry Leah, we have to go" Harry said as he picked me up and carried me to the car.

Harry put me in the car and i looked at the hospital as we drove away.

This can't be the end for him.
