Hello! My name is Liliana Marie Styles. Yes, you heard right. Styles. As in Harry Styles from boyband One Direction. Harry is my dad. One Direction broke up when I was about four. I'm not sure why. All I know is something happened between my dad and Louis Tomlinson. I'm not seventeen years old and it's just me and my dad. And I like it that way. He's attempted to date again, but it never works out, and as wrong as it sounds, I'm happy about that.

I have a few friends but not many. I learned the hard way that a lot of people use me to get to my dad. Me and my dad are extremely close, we tell each other almost everything. One thing that surprised me that he told me is, why him and Louis are no longer friends. Apparently my dad was in love with Louis, and Louis knew and said he felt the same way, but he would always bring girls home, and then one day Louis got a girl pregnant and my dad lost it. He left the band, which made the others no longer want to do it.

Knowing this information makes me not like Louis at all. Now you may be wondering how I'm here if it's just me and my dad. Well he said he was lonely and felt incomplete, so he had surrogate and now here I am.

"Lili?" I here my dad call as he walks up the stairs and to my room. "Yes?" I look up from my laptop. "You wanna go get dinner? I forgot to go shopping." He asks as he walks in. "Yeah that's fine!" I smile. He grins. "Okay, get ready and we'll leave in twenty minutes." I nod and he leaves the room. I get up and quickly change my clothes. I put on lime green tank top since it's pretty warm out right now. I throw on some black skinny jeans and a pair converse. I throw my curly hair up into a bun on the top of my hair and grab my phone and walk downstairs, where I see my dad putting his shoes on.

After he gets his shoes on he grabs his wallet and I follow him out to our black range rover. We drive to a diner that's in downtown L.A. We park and walk up into the building and our put in a both. As we look at the menu my dad speaks up, "Lili? What do you think about going to public school for your senior year?" My eyes dart up to him. "What?!" I exclaim. "Public school. I think it might be good for you. You're always cooped up in your room and with me at work a lot, I worry about you being home alone so much." He pauses. "I know you're seventeen now, and it's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want you home alone so much. I want you to make friends." I sigh. "We both know how well that works out with me.." Referring to the many friends I have brought home only to find out they used me to get to my dad.

"I know darling, but maybe it could different now.." He tries. "I think about it." I say, wanting to drop the subject. He nods and then the waitress comes up. And takes our order. "Hey Dad, I'm gonna go to bathroom, I'll be right back." He nods and I leave the table, heading for the restrooms. I do my business and wash my hands, as I walk out of the bathroom, I bump into someone. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I hurry out and look up at the person. My eyes meet beautiful ocean blue ones, making me melt in my shoes. The person smiles. "It's alright I'm Freddie. Freddie Tomlinson." My face immediately turns into a scowl. "Oh well in that case I must be leaving." He frowns as I start walking away. He grabs my arm. "Wait, why are you leaving so fast." I glare. "Your dad broke my dad's heart. So you and your dad aren't on my good list." He looks at me confused. "What do you mean?" I glare more. "Let me introduce myself then. I'm Liliana Styles." His eyes widen and his face shows that he knows exactly who I am.

"Yeah. So goodbye." I turn to leave but he stops me again. "Wait! Just because our dads nolonger talk, doesn't mean we can't become friends. I walk away and follows. "Yeah friends with the guy who's dad broke my dad's heart? No thanks." I see his shoulders sink. "Please give me a chance. You don't even know me!" I turn around fast. "I don't need to. I'm not gonna get close with someone who was involved in breaking my dad's heart!" I turn and keep walking but freeze when I see my dad and familiar person arguing.

I notice Freddie freeze beside me. It was Louis Tomlinson. I hear my dad telling Louis to leave and Louis wasn't listening so I decide to step in. "Excuse me, I believe I heard him tell you to leave." Louis looks at me. "I'm sorry, but I don't believe this is any of your business." He says, his voice full of annoyance. I glare at him. "Well since he's my father, I believe it's all my business." His eyes widen. My dad speaks up. "Liliana, I'm fine. I can handle it." I scowl at Louis and stand behind my dad with my arms crossed. Louis continues to look at me. "You've grown so much.." He mumbles..

What?! He's never seen me! Why does he look at me with sadness? I know my face shows confusion and I notice my dad tense. "What?" I ask stepping up next to my dad. "Nothing, Darling. Go to the car." My dad says. "No. You said Louis had never seen me before, and you weren't sure if he even knew about me!" My voice raising towards the end. I turn towards my dad. "What are you hiding from me?!" I ask loudly. "Love this isn't the place to talk about this..." He sighs.

"Well home isn't either, considering you've hiding whatever it is forever! Now tell me, how does Louis know me?!" My dad stays silent. I turn to Louis and look him deep in the eyes. "How do you know me..?" I ask quietly. It may seem like I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but I'm starting to think everything my dad told me about Louis was a lie. "Lili, I don't think I should tell you if your dad doesn't want you to know..." I frown and turn to my dad. "I'm leaving. Don't expect me home tonight." I rush out of the diner and run all the way home. I go inside and pack a small bag. I go into my dad's room to grab the spare house key, since I lost mine and as I start to walk out I notice a photo album. I open it up and see some pictures that I had never seen before. I grab the album and take it with me out to my car.

I get in the car and drive to my safe place. I get out of the car and walk up to the door and knock. When the door opens I thrust the album at the person,
