Only Now Exists (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 21

Stephanie's P.O.V

"Stephanie, I'm leaving today!" Mimi cheered. I see her changing into her actual clothes.  I look over to see my mom. "What happened?" I say smiling. "They did over night studies and tests. They gave her some type of medicine and she's good!" She replies.

My dad pulls me aside. "She has to leave this hospital. They have to give her extreme medicine to get her, close to better. Please, don't make a big deal of it." He whispered.

I look over at Mimi and mom. False Happiness. Great.

Stephanie, think of the positive. She's going to get better.

 I head out with the family a few minutes later.

"Mom, can we stop at the old ice cream parlor?" I beg, taking pictures of everything I see. I pull up my camera and take a picture of my grandma. She's still got it. Beautiful.

"Hey Kate, I'm alright. Sorry I didn't text you. I had something." I text. I really don't want to say anything about joey. How could he?

But I mean, I have to tell her. She's my best friend.

My dad pulls up to the parlor. Yes! He parks the muscle car and we head inside.

This place is so much cooler than I remember! It was open in the 60's. They still have the traditional ice cream flavors and decorations. I'm in love.

My family and I get our ice cream. As the old clerk gives me my ice cream, he warmly smiles. I give him a smile back, and take a picture of him posing with the cone. "Have a good day." I say, putting money in the tip jar.

"We have so much to catch up on Stephanie." Mom asked. I take a big lick of my ice cream as my dad sighs in enjoyment. "Well I want to hear about you guys! There is nothing new with me!" I cheer. I look around and see young tweens. Who like One Direction.

Not going to be suspicious.

I laugh as my mom talks. They plan to head out on an R.V trip when I start college. "Thanks for the invite mother." I say. I pull out my phone and set it on the table. "Let me see your phone, Stephanie." my mom blurts. "No mom, you don't need to." I say, pulling the phone away from her. "What are you hiding?" She slyly says. Dad and Mimi begin to laugh.

Oh no. My mom grabs the phone, twirling it around. "Mom, there's nothing!" I say laughing. She begins to chuckle. I look down, waiting for her to flip out at my wallpaper.

Wait for it. Wait. I hear a small gasp.

Mom?" I say. "If you want to talk about it, lets do it in the car." I blurt. Looking up, I se them smiling. All but my dad. "Daddy, I'll always be your little girl." I say, batting my eyes.

"Who's that Stephanie?" My mom and grandma say. As I open my mouth, my dad blurts,"Harry Styles."

They all look closer at the photo. They all awe as they see, it really is him.

"Go to the car Stephanie." My mom snapped. Aw man, I'm in trouble. We go out and she leans on the car. I look over and see a teen with a 'Mrs. Styles' shirt on. "Mom, in the car please." I hustle.

"What the heck Stephanie." she starts. I take deep breath and wait. Why didn't you tell me this? What about all the schools you signed for? I'm pretty damn sure getting into medical school is way better than dating a guy from One Direction." She raged. Oh but she's not done.

"Stephanie, you are going to tell me everything. Now." She barks. "Mom, I went to a concert. Him and I talked. Some people were having a party next door and Kate and I checked it out. It was them. They are our neighbors mom." I explain
