Trust Over Time

Chapter 55 : Our Letters

Niall's POV:

We all sat around Tyra's dining table and worked on our statements. The moment was bitter sweet because everyone tried to keep the atmosphere as bright as possible because we were writing out goodbye letters. 

We started writing when the sky outside was a deep shade of blue, as we finished now the sky outside was a dark black shade signifying the amount of time spent. We all agreed to reading them both out loud. Tyra offered to read us her letter first. She stood up at the table and held her letter to us all. 

"Hello everyone, I'm Tyra Amelia Bennett. 2 years ago nobody would have ever heard of me before. As I am aware I have become more known recently to my links with Harry Styles. Me and Harry met  when I was working. He was such a flirt and continued to come daily until I agreed to go on a date with him. It's been on and off since we got together but I wouldn't have had it any other way. 

Me and Harry have been engaged however we no longer are. We broke up recently after I found out some very upsetting news. We are yet to meet since the break up to discuss the past events. I am currently living in a new house and last night was me collecting my things from his house. I would like to publicly announce that I found out Harry was leaving the band the night before the world did. His mum told me actually as he won't talk to me or answer my calls. 

I know you saw images of me and Niall a few nights ago however I can promise you we are only friends and I would never dream of hurting Harry like that despite the pain he has caused me during the past week. I am pleading for you to press pause on the hate against me until you finally know the whole story. I myself am yet to know the entire story and I wish for my privacy to be respected during these upsetting times.

Thank You,   Tyra Amelia Bennett."

Liam's POV:

We all agreed together that Tyra spoke the truth in an acceptable way. We moved over to the sofa and she sat herself beside me, I wrapped my arm around her and gave her a gentle kiss on her head making sure she felt safe and comfortable. "You lot are the best" She said making us all smile.

Louis stood up and held out the piece of paper written by us as the band. He coughed a few times and began speaking: 

"Hello world,

Right know you're probably extremely confused as to what is going on. If we're being honest we are as well. These articles have come completely out of the blue and we found out the same time you guys did. 

5 years. How time flies by eh? Life has been so much fun, the places you lot have allowed us to visit and perform in will always baffle us. Harry has unfortunately decided to leave the band. At this moment in time we are unable to give you a reason why. We are yet to hear from Harry himself and are hurt that it had to happen this way. 

We have spent the entire day sat as a band talking and planning the future. We all agreed that it is extremely unfair how this situation is unfolding and we promise to give you information as we receive it ourselves. As mentioned earlier we haven't spoken to Harry and we urge you to respect his desire for privacy at the moment. We also have seen articles released today with the topic discussing Tyra Bennett's involvement in this. All articles released are false and untrue. Please be kind to Tyra she is the most kindest and loving people we know and we are proud to call her our best friend. 

Now, we have to discuss the future. We made the decision today to continue to work on the album we are currently working on. We assume Harry will release a statement informing you of his departure therefore as of now we are planning on carrying on as the 4 of us. We will release this album and organise a final goodbye tour next year. 

Thank you, be kind, be brave, be honest.

Niall        Liam      Louis    Zayn"

Tyra's POV:

As Louis finished the letter I looked around to see all the boys with tears in their eyes. All of them had faces of sadness and distraught. We all looked at each other and stood up, without words being spoken we all met in the middle of the lounge and engulfed each other in a tight hug.

"We'll be alright" Liam said resting his head on mine and squeezing everyone. "It'll be alright..."
