Brooklyn's POV

It had been exactly a year since my dad had passed from cancer (i'm not sure if this is true). He was the most inspiring man in my life. He would take me out and play football with me when I was younger, he'd take me and my brother, Jude to loads of football games to see our favourite teams. He would always be there for me when I was upset. He was there for me when I had failed any exams at school. He was always there to support me no matter what, even when I came out as gay.

It happened when the boys and I were filming a cover. I had gotten a call from my mum.

*Flashback*

*buzz buzz* *buzz buzz*

"Boys, it's my mum, can I go take this?" I asked, needing to know if anything was wrong. Usually she calls when something is wrong, otherwise she would've text me.

"Yes Brooklyn, of course" Andy said with a smile.

I smiled back, taking my phone into my hand, sliding the answer button to the right.

"Hi mum, you alright?" I smiled.

"Hey Brooklyn, I'm sorry love but there's some really bad news." She sniffled down the phone.

"Mum? What's wrong?" I physically felt my face drop.

"Honey, your father has passed away from his cancer." My mother sobbed.

I dropped my phone, falling down after it. I could hear her calling me down the phone, seeing if I was still there.

"Brooklyn, text me when you feel like it, okay love? I love you." I heard. She ended the call, knowing I needed my space right now.

I couldn't believe it, he's gone, gone forever. I never got to say goodbye.

All the memories of us and my family from the past flowing through my mind, I didn't even hear the boys asking me if I was okay.

"He's gone. Forever." I whispered weakly.

Andy being the only one about my fathers condition, came over and scooped me into a hug. The other's knew this was nothing to do with them so they quietly walked away, leaving me and Andy with our space.

"It's okay Brooky, he's in a better place now, shh calm down sweetheart." He whispered, playing with my hair and soothing me.

*End of flashback*

I snapped back to reality when Harper had pulled me into his arms. I never realised that I had started to cry.

"What's up Brooky." He mumbled into my hair, holding me close.

"I lost my dad to cancer a year ago today." I mumbled, too sad to speak up...
