Epilogue

Things have been good I just turned 12 the boys have done a world tour that me Mum and River joined them on it was fun learning about different places, there have been a few ups and downs along the way but we have always come through stronger. River is currently 5 me and him get along quiet well, he loves when I sing him to sleep, sometimes I’m the only one that can calm him, we have a good bond due to the fact we travel a lot and Dad is busy with the band, Mum does modelling shots here and there but we always have each other and that’s all the matters. Oh the other thing is it isn’t just me and River now there is also two little 3 week old twins a little boy Kailan William Tomlinson and a little girl Kelby Grace Tomlinson and yea I’m kind of jealous a lot of mum and dads time is taken again leaving me and River to kind of look after each other. I told River that I am once again feeling unloved and it is making it hard River keeps telling me they do I don’t think he understands though, I tried to explain to him that I’m not really Mum and Dads but yea he is 5 not exactly something he understands. They are doing better than when River was born though and they ask me to help quite a bit. Oh I’m also homeschooled now because the bullying didn’t stop. I’m just glad Mum and dad where there to stand by me also Dakota and I have been talking once a week. Turns out him and Eamon where in a relationship and they really loved each other. We talk about Eamon all the time and he keeps apologizing for what happened I continue to tell him it is ok though because it is in the past and in the long run he really helped me. what else oh yea Zayn and Perrie are married and expecting their first kid next month, Niall and Vicky are engaged and are due to have a baby in 4 months, Liam has a new steady girl friend called Sofia she is really nice I like her, Harry is dating Demi they make a really cute couple and I love that Demi has become like an aunt to me she is always good to talk to about things that I haven’t told the other about like the fact sometimes I still want to die, well the demons in my head tell me I should , Avan also has a girlfriend she is a lot like him so we get along great and me and Avan are still best friends, Uncle Simon also has a little boy now he makes a really good and protective Dad and he is still very protective with me and seems to love me a lot as well as River, he always tells me I am his favorite though but let’s not tell anyone else that

Today we are going for a family walk in a forest me and River have run ahead of the others  I am wearing a white flowy dress I took my shoes of and Perrie gave me flower crown I feel beautiful for the first time in a long time. River runs up to me and I pick him up spinning him in a circle like we always do when we hug it is our weird little thing and every single time we laugh it never gets old

“Where’s Mummy and Daddy Gracie?” he ask me not for the first time since the twins were born or when they were both working I look up and see them walking towards us Mum pushing the twins along in the pram we run up to them laughing I’m happy today maybe because we are spending time as a family again. River jumps into dads arms one of those things they have done since River could walk I go over to Mum and gives her a hug, I know I’m 12 but I still love my parents hugs so much and I don’t care what anyone says I look in the pram Kailan and Kelby are sleeping . I hear River start laughing I see dad throwing him in the air and hang him upside down before mum starts to tickle him , he is really ticklish worst them me he has a contagious laugh just like dad he kind of looks like dad as well. For some reason I start to feel lonely and upset I look at my feet before telling myself not to ruin the moment so I look up “smiling” Mum dad and River continue to laugh I grip onto the pram to keep myself from running of to cry as I do I hear a little cry from the pram Kelby has woken and started crying I don’t want to interrupt the fun Mum dad and River are having so I take her out before she has a chance to wake her brother I rock her gently humming Little me to her it is one of Little mixes song and I like it a lot and I like to sing it to Kelby so maybe she will grow up and be stronger than I ever was, as much as I am jealous of her I don’t want her to ever get bullied. She falls back to sleep rather quickly she looks so perfect and cute when she is asleep she looks a lot like Mum and Kailan is seriously looking like the perfect mix of the both, it is easy to tell that I am not biologically there kid and this is what scares me, I’m not anything like them in looks, personality, talent or anything I’m just well me. Dad comes over and take Kelby from my arms and places her back into the pram kissing her head.

“Good night my beautiful princess” he says I feel sadden by this, he hasn’t really called me princess since they were born now that they have their own little girl I keep wondering if there is room for me, I know I should say something but seriously how do you bring that up. I feel mum kiss the top of my head and bring me into a side hug

“You will always be my baby girl Gracie” she says to me causing me to smile a little.

“And you will always be my number one princess never ever forget that princess” Dad says picking me up and gives me a big hug as if he is pouring all his love into me I smile big and the bad thoughts leave, see what I mean by we become stronger all the time. Dad picks River up in his other arm, how he manages to carry us both is a mystery but then again he is superman or well super dad.

“I told you they love you like they love me and the babies” River says with all seriousness this makes me smile even bigger and I lean over giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“We will always love you princess, as far as I am concerned you are my biological daughter and we love you so so much” Dad says holding me tighter and giving me an Eskimo kiss. This is my family, they mean the world to me. I never thought I would get the chance to have proper parents again, siblings or auntie and uncles like I do now, I never thought I had a future. And here I am with all the things I dreamed of plus so much more and I would never ever change this for the world no matter what I have gone through or will go through I will survive now because I am surrounded by people who care and love me.

This is my story of how I survived thanks to my family and the greatest lesson I have learnt is even when you don’t think a miracle will happen it does so just hold on a bit longer something good is just around the corner.
