Spaces between Us

**14**

Nevaeh's POV

(2 days Later)

Living alone sure has it's flaws. Teenagers grow up to think that living without someone yelling after them to get things done must be the life. In reality it has been nothing but pure torture knowing that I can't hold my father in my arms ever again. Seperated by something as simple as the border line between life and death.

My father may not have always been there for me but one thing for sure, he did love me. I was the only family left for him to look after, after my mother passed when she died giving birth to my baby sister.

Yes, you heard that right, my mother passed when she was giving birth. What happened to my baby sister are you wondering? She lived...for about a week until her heart began to fail miserably and died in her sleep. It was horrible for all of us. I never really met my baby sister to say I missed her. I was with her for about 3 days because I was at my granny's house most of the time before she also passed from a heart stroke. When I found out I had a sister I was crushed, I blamed myself for everything and that's when I found it easy to let my anger out on Marcel just at the age of 8. I guess it runs in the family to have a weak heart.

I've never told anyone this, not even Sam knew. It killed me inside sometimes knowing that the only person that knew besides my dad was Harry and his family.

Thinking of all those that I've lost makes me reminisce the memories in my mind. I ran up to the attic and pulled out the dusty old scrape book. Pictures filled with happy smiles, and goofy faces made me shed a tear, after that single tear had fallen down came another.

Where is dad when I need him most?

Harry's POV

"Hun, you have to step up to the plate and take risks. Be responsible for your own actions." My mom sighed in defeat "I didn't raise you to be this way."

"I know mom but you know just how much I love Nev. I can't just leave her because of a stupid mistake I made." I whined and tugged on my hair.

She rested her hands on my shoulders and tilted my chin up "I never said you had to." She smiled "Just talk to Sam in a private place and offer her help with the kid. Tell her you'll be there to help with expenses and to care for it. You don't have to stay with her."

I was about to say something else but my mom beat me to it.

She stood up off my bed and walked to the door "Have you told Nev?"

I shook my head ashamed

"Well she lives right next door, I suggest you do this now before we take off to London for the X-Factor." she said and shut the door

I let out a dramatic groan, tossed my body on the bed and grabbed the pillow over my face to scream my lungs out.

I took it off me and sat up. I have to tell her now.

I walked into her house and heard nothing but silence which was odd since her car was upfront. While I climbed up the stairs I heard music and a shower being turned off. I furrowed my eyes and slowly opened her bedroom door to find Nev, wrapped in nothing but a small towel covering her petite body. I almost choked on my own saliva and when I was about to speak she dropped her towel on the floor to begin getting dressed. That's when I yelped.

"I'm so sorry" I rushed

"OMG!!" She panicked and picked up the towel off the floor to cover her exposed body.
