Hello, Darcy.

Harry ’s P.O.V.

“Hello?” I answered.

“Mr. Styles?” He asked.

“Yes?” I asked.

The familiar but fake posh voice caught me curious, but literally broke out into laughter after I remembered who it was.

“Niall!” I exclaimed. He began bursting into laughter on the other line. “Harreh, Mah Boy!” He laughed. I laughed along with him.

“How are you leprechaun?” I joked. He jokingly scoffed.

“Still trying to find the pot of gold.” He chuckled. God, some things just never changed, he was always the same old Hyper Niall.

“You suck at jokes.” I laughed.

“Well, I do try curly tops.” He said. I chuckled at his comment.

“So what brings you to call me up goldie locks?” I asked.

“Well if you haven’t forgotten?” He asked hesitantly, try to ring a bell. “Forgot what?” I asked.

“Liam’s party!” He exclaimed. “Or as I like to call it, One Direction reunion, eh.”

“Damn, I forgot about that.” I said, slightly frustrated as I scratched the back of my neck.

“Forgetful are we?” He chuckled. “You do know it’s this Saturday right? The day after tomorr-” I stomped my foot on the ground.

“Right, right.” I said. “Sorry about that Niall, it’s just that a lot of things are hap-“

“It’s alright man, I heard what happened… I could just tell Liam you can’t make i-“

“No, no! I’ll still be able to make it Ni- Um, where are you anyways?” I asked curiously as I heard loud wind and whistling air.

“I’m actually in Liam’s house, I just flew in this morning for tomorrow’s events… Staying the night in my old Pal’s place.” He chuckled. I heard shuffling in the background as I heard the phone being passed over. “Harreh, Liam’s back from the market-here!” He shouted.

“Hello?” Liam asked. I smiled as I instantly heard Liam’s voice. I really did miss these guys.

“Liam!” I exclaimed.

“Harry! How are you?” He asked, a hint of excitement in his voice.

“I’m great, honestly I’m really excited for Saturday.” I smiled. “You?”

“I’m fine as usual…” There was a brief moment of silence until the background went silent and no sounds of Niall. “I heard what happened to Liv, Harry… I’m sorry.” He said, pity filled in his voice.

“It’s fine Liam, honestly… She’s doing fine actually.” I lied. My voice shaking while struggling not to spill the flooded tears.

“Well, I have to prepare the house and such for the party so I’ll see you here in Wolverhampton soon yeah?” He said.

“Definitely, I’ll see you soon.” I said.

“Bye Harry.” He said.

“Bye Li.” And with that I hung up the phone. I heard footsteps trudge down the steps and I hurriedly wiped the half-dried tears on my cheeks. I saw Darcy looking a bit better than this morning and seems as if the hot shower helped.

“Hey.” She smiled, stopping at the last step.

“Hey, how’re you feeling now?” I asked.

“Much better actually, I think the hot shower helped with my fever… but the headache doesn’t seem to be wearing off.” She said, rubbing the back of her head.

I quickly ran to the kitchen and grabbed out the pills Ryan suggested. I ran back to her shaking the bottle in my hand. “Forgot, you need to take these.” I said. “But you have to eat before you take them.” She nodded.

“Why don’t you sit by the table while I make you some soup.” I suggested. She nodded without a word and walked over to the table.

I began to empty the contents of the can as I heated the stove up. I glanced over at Darcy from the corner of my eye to see her sitting there looking blankly at the wall, fumbling with her thumbs. I didn’t bother saying thing for maybe it would bother her, I could tell something was up with her but I was afraid to ask.

--------------------------------------------

She slurped her soup silently without saying a single word. I decided to be brave enough and talk to my daughter.

“Darcy?” I asked. She looked up, raising her eyebrows. “Are you okay?”

“You keep asking me that every single second, honestly I’m fine… it’s just the headache is killing me.” She sighed and continued to eat her soup.

“I know something’s bothering you Darc.” I stated. “Anything it is, you can tell me…”

“I just miss Mum, s’all.” She simply stated. “I really want to see her.”

“Don’t think that’s a good idea Darc, you’re really sick.” I said.

“I bet she’d cure it.” She joked, slightly smiling. I chuckled lightly. “I bet.” I mocked.

“But really Harry, once I get better can we visit her?” She asked with her eyes pleading at me.

“Sure.” I smiled awkwardly.
--------------------------------------
Now that the medicine knocked out Darcy again, I decided to sneak out for a bit and go to the hospital. On my way there I stopped by a local flower shop and picked up a bouquet of red roses just for Liv.

I walked through the hallways and into Liv’s room. “Alright Olivia, you’re set.” Dr. Ravenberg said. My heart raced and my mood basically brightened with joy as soon as I saw her awake. I felt myself drawn deep into her eyes as if it were the first time we met again.
“Har-“

“Oh Harry!” Dr. Ravenberg exclaimed. “Didn’t see you there.” He chuckled. “I’ll leave you both here.” He looked over at the roses in my hand and nodded. Just as he left my attention turned quickly to Liv, who’s eyes were just pleading for me to run into her arms. I quickly walked over to her with the bouquet of roses, but simply dropped them on the bed as I brought her in my embrace. I couldn’t feel anything but joy and happiness that she’s awake.

“Olivia.” I choked, holding her tightly. I stroked the back of her head as I heard her cry softly.

“Harry.” Her voice sounded so delicate and sweet.

“I thought I’d never see you again…” She cried. “I thought I’d never see Darcy…”

“Ssshhhhh.” I coo’ed, rubbing her back.

---------------------------------------------

We sat like this for hours, holding eachother in our embraces. Not one of us dared to let go.

“Harry?” She asked softly.

“Hmm?” I hummed.

“How’s Darcy?” She asked. “I haven’t seen my baby since forever…”

“She’s been very ill since this morning…” I paused.

“Is she alright?” Liv asked, her face filled with worry.

“She’s alright Liv, she actually wanted to visit you today… but I told her she’s too sick a-“ I stopped myself before I could even continue nor even listening to what I’m even saying myself.

“Is there something wrong?” She asked curiously. I felt a rush of tears flood into my eyes. Liv brought her hand up to my cheek wiping the first tear that rolled down.

“Olivia, there’s- I thought I almost lost you.” I choked out. “Just a day ago Dr. Ravenberg thought you failed…”

“I know.” She said. “I heard in my sleep yesterday.” She chuckled. I chuckled along with her.

”Does Darcy know?” She asked. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

“Know?” I asked.

“It’s almost time.” She blurted out. She said it so suddenly without emotion, as if it was nothing to her.

“She doesn’t know Liv, neither does she know I sneak out to the hospital while she’s asleep…” I paused. “Liv, she’s so happy now ever since she’s met Ryan… I don’t know how I can tell her without her falling back down again.” I felt her hand intertwine in mine as she squeezed it gently.

“I know…” I squeezed her hand in mine.

“I’m so sorry…” I said softly.

“There’s no need to be sorry, Harry.” She giggled. I couldn’t choke out what I was going to say for the three right words blurted out instead.

“I love you.” I smiled.

“I love you.” She smiled back.
--------------------------------------
Next Night
Darcy’s P.O.V.

“Darc?”

“Darcy?”

“Darcyyyy….”

I woke up from someone shaking my shoulders and my name being called endlessly. I squinted my eyes open as the light bulb in the ceiling blinded me. My eye sight was blurry and all I saw was a mop full of curls. Harry.

“Darcy?” He asked.

“What time is it?” I asked groggily.

“10:30.” He stated. I quickly shot up. “WHAT? I AM SOOO LATE FOR SCHOO- NO MORE LIKE I SKIPPED-“ He grabbed my shoulders steady. “It’s fine Darc, you’re still sick so I called your school today….” He said.

“Then why’d you wake me up?” I whined.

“I just wanted to check up on you, I just came back from somewhere.” He said, sitting at the foot of my bed.

“Can I ask you something?” I asked. He nodded.

“Where do you go whilst ditching me?” I asked. I saw his body get stiffer and tense up. “Is it the hospital?”

“Darcy… You know that I wouldn’t go to the hospital without you.” He said sternly.

“Then where?” I asked curiously.

“I had some important stuff to do with the lads.” He said.

“Do what, record some tunes? Didn’t know you guys were still a band anyway, what are you guys The RollingStones?” I asked, crossing my arms. I noticed my tone of voice, raising higher at him at every reply.

“N- Ye-“
“Forget it “ I said staring at the wall not daring to look at him.

“I made you dinner, it’s in the fridge if you want to heat it up. You’ll need something to eat anyways, you’ve hibernated the whole day.” He said whilst getting up. “Suit yourself.” And with that he vanished out the door.

I sighed in frustration. I felt frustrated over the fact that I’ve been in this house for two whole days. I quickly shot up from my bed and walked into the bathroom, quickly turning on the shower. I let the hot water start as I began to strip off my dirty clothes. I stepped into the steaming hot shower and began washing myself…

----------------------------------------------
I dug through my drawers, trying to find something different and surprisingly saw a racy black lace bra with a matching panty. I reckon not remembering myself buying this, but I guess the occasion called. I stood in front of the mirror as I watched myself in awe. “Whoa.” I muttered. I didn’t want to sound conceited but these racy undergarments were like a gift from heaven.

I rummaged through my closet trying scanning my eyes after every item hung. I finally settled on a black skater dress with ¾ quarter sleeves, a back cut out and a low sweetheart neckline. I quickly slipped into it as I shrugged over a thin leather jacket. I stepped into my combat boots and ran on over to my vanity. I let my wet waves loose as I spritzed on some body spray.

I finally took one more look in the mirror. I couldn’t help but admire my different appearance. I went all out tonight. I quickly walked on over to my bed and grabbed my phone. I dialed the number, pacing back and forth waiting for someone to pick up. I felt my heart race as soon as the familiar voice rang through the other line.

“Darcy?” He asked curiously.

“Ryan, are you done with work?” I asked.

“My shift ended two hours, why… Darcy, is there something wrong?” He asked.

“Pick me up by 12.”
---------------------------------------
It wasn’t too long when Ryan’s number flashed on the screen.

“Darcy, I’m here… I’m o-“

“I’ll be down there… Just wait for a second and don’t get out of your car…” I whispered into the phone.

“Oka- Wait why are you whispering?” He asked through the line.

“I’ll tell you when I get out.” I said and hung up. I struggled tiptoeing carefully down the stairs with these heavy boots. I stopped midway by the railing to see Harry fast asleep, leaving the T.V. and snoring on the couch with the remote over his stomach. I walked back upstairs and into my room, I quickly locked the door and shut off the lights as I walked over to my window. I stepped foot for the first time on the little railing outside my window. I swung my leg over the railing down the little latter, slowly and carefully and took one step at a time. As my toe finally touched the ground, I felt my heart race as this was the first time I snuck out of the house. I turned around to see the pricess look on Ryan’s face. I felt bad-ass as I walked over to his car. He unlocked it as I opened the door.

“Dar- You snuck out?!” He asked shocked.

“I just needed to get out of here.” I smiled nonchalantly.

“Aren’t you still sick?” He asked.

“No.” I chuckled.

------------------------------------------

"So will you tell me why you snuck out?" Ryan asked as he munched the last of his cone.

"Cabin fever." I stated. He chuckled lightly as we continued to keep walking across town.

"You're such a bad liar Darcy." He smirked.

"How would you know that?" I asked, licking the vanilla ice cream off the cone. He shrugged.

"Your Dad is going to kill me first thing in the morning-"

"If he ever finds out." I joked, sticking my tongue out.

We finally both finished our ice cream cones as we just strolled around town. Everything was perfect at the moment, the city lights, the cool breeze and that nice moment of silence where nothing needs to be said or done. I suddenly felt his hand brush over mine.

"You know, I honestly just wanted to go out and have an adventure... Just run away from every little problem that I left behind in the house..."

Ryan smirked as he just kept his eyes on the street. "One more year and you'll finally get to be that age where you're set free and into the real world..." I nodded. "Guess you can say that." I replied. I felt my heart race as he finally curled his fingers with mine, fitting perfectly in his hands. My face feeling hot and I quickly turned my direction over to the sidewalk, not wanting him to see my crimson red face.

I thought to myself for a second as I stared helplessly at our entwined hands. What were we? Were we a couple now or were we just a fling?

-------------------------------------------------

We parked in a dark spot by the park, who's street lights were still gleaming nicely. The dimmed light still gave us a nice light to still see each others faces. We sat in silence as the awkward cricket noises started too budge in, but that didn't stop the sweet silent tension in the air.

"Ryan?" I asked softly. He looked over at me.

"In 10 years what do you see yourself doing?" I asked. He smirked and sighed. I honestly didn't know what I was asking, and the thought of it just popped into my head.

"Just graduating from one of the top notch Medical School's in Paris, getting settled down to the most beautiful person, and starting a family..." He smiled. My heart melted at the sight of his smile. "What about you Darc?" He asked.

"I-I honestly don't know, I only have a few months until I graduate, then I'm entered into the real world." I chuckled in embarassment. "All I know is that I want to get married to someone I truly love and have a crib full of kids... "

He chuckled as he swiftly grabbed my hand and squeezing it gently. "You'll be a great Mum." He winked. I laughed. I hadn't realized how close we were until I felt his lingering sweet breath. I slowly leaned in much more as our lips finally touched each others, molding perfectly. I felt his tongue brush over my lips, asking for permission. I opened my mouth and let him in as he hungrily dominated his tongue over mine. The kiss wasn't as sweet as our first one, but it was much more full of lust and desperation for one another. Before he can quickly do anything else, I straddled myself over him shrugging my jacket off. I swiftly ran my fingers under his shirt to feel his perfectly toned stomach. I tugged at the hem of his shirt as I slowly lifted it up. "Darcy." Ryan panted, trying to break the kiss. I didn't listen for there was so much lust in the moment, I've never wanted him so much until now.

"Darcy, stop." He said sternly and grabbed a hold of my wrists. I felt a wave of embarassment crush me.

"I'm sorry." I said, straddling off of him. I sat back in the passenger seat, straightening out my dress. I felt my eyes slowly starting to sting with tears.

"No Darcy, I'm sorry." He paused. "I'm sorry I let you go to far..."

"Could've stopped me before we kissed." I said blandly, trying hard not to shake my voice.

"As much as I want to Darc... We just met and I don't want to take things to far...Not just yet." He stated. I felt a tear stroll down my cheek and I quickly looked away before he could see.

"What if we were both ready for this now?" I asked.

"I wouldn't take something so important away from you at 17...You're still young and reckless Darcy. I wouldn't want you to experience something like this for granted. Until then think it through..."

-------------------------------------------

The whole ride home was silent and our eyes stared blankly at the road, for if any words spilled of our mouths, it would be disappoinment. As for my case.

We finally made it to the front of the house for we just sat there in silence again.

"Want me to walk you out?" He asked hesitantly.

"M'fine." I said as I got out. Before I could shut the door, I looked at Ryan who's eyes shallowed pity.

"I'll see you next time..." I said blankly.

He nodded. "Night Darcy." And with that I ran over to the railing and climbed my way up. I felt the tears once again well up in my eyes but I tried so hard not to blink them out. As I finally made it inside the dark cold room, I didn't bother changing for I instantly crashed on my bed, hugging the pillow tightly as the tears finally spilled.

He was right...I am young and reckless and I know it might be a little too early to start thinking about love and such, I guess I don't know what love really is or may be, but I came to a realization that I am falling hard for Ryan. The way he rejected my act towards him gave me the disappointment I’ve never felt before, my heart was shattered, I never knew what a heartbreak would feel like....until now and I realized that I have truly fallen in love with Ryan Tate...

Notes
