Dear Dad... (Harry Styles)

Chapter 5-19 Years Old

July 26th.

Dear Dad,

Take care of Mom, please. Tell her I know why she did it, and that it's okay. It's fine. I wish she was here to spend time with me, to see how happy I am. I'm okay though, really. But you make sure you love her as much as you did. Or still do. Because she needs it, Dad. Tell her that everything is fine, and that the letters I write you from now on are to both of you.

Niall lives with Daria now. Zayn and Perrie moved to Africa to help the children. Little Mix is on hiatus until next year. So they're devoting their time and money to those kids. Perrie couldn't become pregnant for some reason, so they treat those kids like their own. They are both making a real difference. Louis is back in the hospital again. He was abusing some kind of drug. He kept claiming it brought you to him. I can't explain how much he misses you. I saw him with Liam a few months back, and he doesn't eat, or drink or sleep. He didn't talk to us. He's completely shut everyone out. I was living with Liam for a year, but then I met someone.

His name is Luke. He's truly amazing, Dad. I think I love him. We met at dance school. He's two years older than me, but that's okay, since you were four years older than Mom. We met on the very first day of school. He was kind of distant at first, but Dad, when he danced... it was perfect. He floated and flew across the dance floor. We soon became friends. He gave me ballet lessons and tips, and he brought me dinner when I was in the studio dancing. Then, one night last year, he kind of just explained it all to me. I always knew there was something he was hiding from me, and I didn't really expect him to tell me. When he was 14, his dad left his mom and he was constantly torn between moving to America with his Mom or staying in a little shack with his dad. He chose to stay, only because of the Dance School. We live together now. He's the love of my life and I wouldn't trade him for anything. I really wish you could meet him, Dad.

Liam is okay these days. He's found himself a job at a record company as a talent-finder. He doesn't have a girlfriend, either. But he's fine. He likes being alone, I'm sad for him. He always comes to my performances, like Niall did. We have lunch together every weekend, just to catch up on things.

My last year of Dance School was this year. I am so excited to get into this job that the school hooked me up with. It's a broadway/musical theatre thing in the heart of London. I have a contract with them for another two years, but after that, Luke and I are going to move to Alaska so we can get some dancing jobs. We don't know the full details yet, but we are totally going to go.

Gosh, I miss you guys. I love you both. Stay safe up there.

Love Always,

Darcy Styles
