Dear Daddy

Chapter 12

6th February

Dear Daddy,

Guess what? I got picked! It was a lady called Annika Reid and her husband Cameron Reid. They are both 52, their birthdays only 2 months apart. I have only said hello and thank you to them. I don't want to get too attached to them otherwise it will be too hard to leave them when you come, but I will always love you more than anyone.

Miss Donya was happy to see me go. She helped me stuff everything into my suitcase before shoving me out the door. Hannah stayed. Apparently she has been there for 2 years and visits her mum every fortnight.

I was glad to leave and I can't wait to see you! I saw you the other day, on a magazine. Miss Donya has a bit of an obsession with you, no matter what she says to me. I think she is jealous that my daddy is a pop star. Her daddy is a plumber.

I hope that smiley face cheered you up yesterday.

I love you daddy,

Love Bella Rose Murray-Styles ❤️

I signed off the letter and handed it to Annika silently. Sadness filled her eyes as she took it and walked towards the door.

"Thank you" I squeaked to her, unable to refrain my manners any longer.

She turned and gave me an appreciative smile before nodding and walking out the door.

I sighed. I feel terrible for being like this but I don't want to have my heart broken again. I am not talking from now on. I can't risk losing someone else I love.

Dear Daddy,

Guess what? I got picked! It was a lady called Annika Reid and her husband Cameron Reid. They are both 52, their birthdays only 2 months apart. I have only said hello and thank you to them. I don't want to get too attached to them otherwise it will be too hard to leave them when you come, but I will always love you more than anyone.

Miss Donya was happy to see me go. She helped me stuff everything into my suitcase before shoving me out the door. Hannah stayed. Apparently she has been there for 2 years and visits her mum every fortnight.

I was glad to leave and I can't wait to see you! I saw you the other day, on a magazine. Miss Donya has a bit of an obsession with you, no matter what she says to me. I think she is jealous that my daddy is a pop star. Her daddy is a plumber.

I hope that smiley face cheered you up yesterday.

I love you daddy,

No. I want to tell her to love them til she can't love anymore because I am not coming! She is going to hurt herself. She will lock herself away from everyone. I don't want her to not love anyone.

Who is this 'Miss Donya' with her obsession. Wait she is the office lady, right? Yes, it was! What was she saying about me to Bella? Was she trying to make her not love me? Forget me? Hate me? Maybe she should spend more time with Miss Donya. It's probably for the best.

As I went to put the letter back in its envelope, a note fell out. It was on a pale yellow lined sheet of paper with delicate cursive writing dancing across the page in black.

'Hello, I thought I would introduce myself because I'm going to be caring for your daughter. My name is Annika Jessie Reid. My husbands name is Cameron Dylan Reid. I really hope you come to see your daughter at some point, whether it be tomorrow or next year. The amount of hope and faith she has in you is... unheard of. I might write to you occasionally, maybe you can write back? I don't have to show your daughter. Also I found this while unpacking her suitcase.

-Annika Reid-

I frowned when I saw the small drawing. It was made from colourful crayons of all different colours. On it was drawn a classic grave with two people beside it. One small with long curly hair and one was tall with a mop of green curls. Above the characters was 'Me', 'Daddy' and 'Mummy' above the grave. We both had sad faces but were holding hands. Well holding each others stick arm.

Annika was right. She had too much faith in me. She needed some one to love her and Annika is one who could supply her with love. I ripped a fresh page from my black journal and wrote a quick plea.

'Take care of my baby,

Harry Styles'
