One Shots ~ Harry Styles [ON HOLD]

Failling School

The one where Harry is your dad and you're about to fail the same year for a second time and you get in a small fight but you find your motivation back and make it happen.

"Emma, we need to have a chat!" My dad yells from downstairs. I race out of my room and sit downstairs. "What's up dad?" I ask. "It's about school darling." If it's one thing I hate, it is school. "Again dad? We talked about it just a week ago?" I ask him and I swear I can see him rolling his eyes. "I know we did Em, but you can not fail class again. That's why I'm talking to you." He says. "Dad, not again. You know this is going to end in an argument at the end." I say.

"I don't care Emma, you cannot not pass this year. I'm not going to send you to an other school." He says. "Oh, I know. Remeber last year?  Yeah, I wanted to go away but no, I wasn't allowed.  This school doesn't make me feel like I belong there." I scream at my dad. "You made a choice and in the end you didn't feel like it, so you can't blame it on me." He says back in a calm voice. "I'm done talking about this. You know how much mom's death affected me last year and even this year. I'm not comfertable at school and I'm changing my mindset." I say back, holding back my tears. 

"But you should. You are all nagative again. I know it's tough. But you've fought trough everytime. You are throwing away your future. A future you've always dreamt of as a kid." My dad yells at me. "And this time I might not be able to fight trough this dad. I'm tired. I'm tired of fighting against every ounce of negativity. And I planned a future with mom in it. Mom's gone dad. I've lost my best friend." I yell, with tears streaming down my face. 

He is debating with himself if he should say somethin or not. "Emma, I know mom's death is hard on you. But you also know that she doesn't want you to be sad about it. We're talking about you mother sweetie, she was a tough one and she doesn't want to see us sad." He says in a soft voice. "I want to be there for you." He says.

My mom died april 2018. The cause being some type of cancer that isn't treatable. I took the news so bad I fell in a depression. I cut everyone of and stopped doing school. This is pretty normal, I think for someone who lost their parent but at some time you have to get up and try to get better. I tried so hard and I failed. But my dad, he is amazing. He helped me when I started to crumble again.

"Emma, babygirl, I want to help you. I want to help you to achieve the thing you've always wanted to do." I nod and lean in for my favorite hug of all time. "I know you hate people saying this but it is going to be alright. We have to fight for it Em." He whispers. I nod and let all my tears fall. "I'll try to not give up dad." I say back. I feel him smile against my forehead and that was my motivation to continue to fight. 

Two weeks after the coversation  your marks were high. So high that everyone was surprised. You felt happier knowing you made everyone around you proud, but most of all you made your dad proud. And you knew your mom was watching from above.
