My life with one direction

Chapter 10

Harry's pov

2 big boxes showed up at our door addressed to Jo. I called her and she came sliding down the banister dressed in a Aztec print romper.

"Some boxes came for you do you know what they are?" I asked.

"Uhhhuhh." she shook her head and looked at them sitting in the living room.

"Well let's open them then." On one of the boxes there was a 1 and the other a 2.

"Start with the first one." she said ripping the tape off. On the top there was an envelope. And that's when I figured out what they were.

"I'm going to get dressed but you keep opening them ok." I told her and walked up the stairs.

***************Jo's pov**************

The envelope had my name printed on the top. I picked it up carefully and opened it without ripping the paper.

In side was a piece of paper that said:

" Dear Jo,

I'm sorry. I know I wasn't the best mother all the time and for that I am truly sorry. I'm also terribly sorry for not telling you I was going to leave. I had known for about a year and a half that my time was limited. I know I should have told you but I was to busy partying or bringing home some guy. I'm sorry that you have had to go to your dad's but that might not be a bad thing he will love you and might be a better parent than I was. I know he's young but give him a chance. You were just like him. From the day you were born there was no doubt in my mind you weren't his child. Your smirky smile and how you bite the inside of your cheek when your nervous I bet your doing it right now. Even though I wasn't a great parent doesn't mean I didn't and don't love you. You used to wonder what happened to your dad and I said he left. Harry did leave but not because of you he didn't know you were his child. You also asked if I had any pictures of all of us together I of course said no. That isn't an entire lie but this is the closest thing I have it is on the back. Please give your father a chance and don't lose that spark in your soul please continue to have that big voice I love and play the piano like you love to sing like you used to and don't let my mistakes spoil your future. I've always known you'd go far don't give up on that. keep gazing love you more than all the stars

- mom"

Sure enough I was biting my cheek just like she said I was. I flipped the paper over and taped to the back was a picture of my mom and Harry but in the picture you could see my moms pregnant belly with me in it. it was our family photo the only one there was and it was beautiful.

Also inside the box was stuff from my old house that I lived in with my mom. There was an old photo album of me growing up and an old pair of overalls that I loved and wore almost all the time it had patches all over and were still my favorite. At the bottom there was a scrapbook type of thing that was black and white flowers. Inside was a scrap of paper saying " give to Harry. P.s I payed attention"

I looked through and all through was little noted saying things like more jelly than peanut butter on her sandwiches.

Or heavy sleeper. VERY heavy sleeper.

I bit my cheek to keep from crying.

"Harry." I called and a second later Harry was there and looked at me.

"What's wrong love?" he asked.

I took a deep breath and looked at him.

"Here this is for you." He looked at it and smiled.

I tucked the note and picture away and decided that could be mine. Just mine.

The other box contained my blue sock monkey that I used to carry every where with me.
