The phone rings. I pick it up, press the green answer button and hold it to my ear.
"(Y/N)." Blair sobs. "I-it's Dad."
"Shit, what happened?" I ask. I start running around my apartment, phone pressed to my ear, packing things.
"It was a-a car crash. H-he's in hospital."
"I'm on my way, Blair. I'll be there in an hour."
"No- (Y/N). He- he might not be alive then. He g-got h-hurt really b-badly. I'm gonna put you on sp-speaker and you can talk to him."
"(Y/N)?" my dad creaks.
"D-dad." I say. A tear rolls down my face. "I love you."
"I love you too, sweetheart," he says as I get into my car. "Keep doing what you love. I know you'll be a legend someday. Say hi to you kids for me, when you have them."
"I- I will." Blair takes the phone back.
"Guildford Hospital, (Y/N). Be here as soon as possible."
————————
My dad died that day. I managed to talk to him face to face when I got to the hospital, just for 5 or so minutes.
The members of Little Mix texted me constantly - wondering where I was. I simply replied 'I'm okay' to one of Perrie's texts and turned my phone off. I didn't feel like talking.
When my mum, Blair and I arrive back to my apartment, Sirius is ecstatic.
"Hey bud," I say warily, stroking him on the top of his head. He eagerly greets my family members while I move their things to their temporary rooms. "Is pizza ok for you guys?"
When the pizza arrives, we eat in silence, watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine. My mum and Blaire fall asleep in front of the TV, giving me time to think. Why didn't I spend more time with my dad while I had the chance?
I need to prioritise family.
My family begin to stir at around 10am - I'm already up, sitting at the dining table, eating toast and looking at my computer.
"Watchu doin'?" Blaire asks.
"Wondering if what I've just done was a good idea or not." I say bluntly.
"Have you bought another one of those bouncy castles shaped like a penis?" My mum asks.
"No, not this time," I say, rubbing my temples. "I just bought a huge arse house in Guildford. I'm moving."
Rlly short chapter soz.
