Chapter Twenty Two

Liam tightened his grip around me as my breathing became heavier. He was slightly shaking himself. Whatever that letter said it seemed to have affected him quite a bit but I didn't want to intrude. And I don’t care what Ignacia said to me in the letter: it was my fault. I should have just given her the chance to talk to me and I should’ve forgiven her. Harry kept quiet by the table. Mum had brought a chair from the kitchen and sat by Dad.

“Daddy, why is everyone crying?” Fausto asked, clueless to everything. I wish I was like 

“Harry, hand me that letter beside you and we’ll find out,” he ordered, hoping to answer Fausto with a positive answer, evident through the tone of his voice. Harry picked up the letter that was for the family and boys and handed it to Dad. Without looking at anyone else he tore it open. He flicked it to unfold it with one hand and then read it out loud. By this time I cried with hiccups.

Thank you for tolerating my nonsense. All of you. Mum, Dad, I’m sorry to have disappointed you because you both are my role models and I failed to be just like you guys one day. You have taught me so much throughout the years and I guess it was just my ignorance that I didn’t listen to you until it was too late. I love you both so so much and never forget that.

Fausto, grow up to be a good boy for Mum and Dad, okay? I will miss you dearly. I will miss you the most. You have been my only friend and supporter for a long time. I love you.

Liam, look after our Emma and you do the same to him, Em. Stay strong for me. Support each other no matter what. Young love is a beautiful thing and you both are lucky to have found each other. Cherish it. Love you both.

And Harry, look after yourself. Find a beautiful girlfriend and treat her well. Be happy. You deserve all the happiness you can get. Find her and never let go. Just love her the way you’ve never loved anyone else before. I love you Harry and look after everyone. Good luck with One Direction and I wish all the boys well.

Well, family, that’s all from me. I love you all and I promise to watch over you.

Lost Forever, Ignacia.

And that’s when I finally understood. She is never coming back. And all this because of one simple drug. I let out a few whimpers of cries first but when Mum broke down I could no longer keep it in and I began to weep properly. We were supposed to have our chat today. I was supposed to tell her how much she really means to me and I was going to apologise. Then we'd be a big happy family like it used to be like I had imagine last night before going bed. 

"Daddy, why will she miss me?" Fausto asked, concern filling his face. He wrapped his tiny arm around Dad's neck and his other hand on his face to force Dad into facing him. Clearly Dad was avoiding everyone's gazes. 

"She's gone, Fausto, gone for --" His voice wavered towards the end and he let out a loud wail. I'd never seen Dad cry before but this was just one of many more.
