The One That Got Away

Chapter 37 [Part 3/4]

Chapter 37 [Part 3/4 of the Last Chapter]

                Dear boys,

                                If you're reading this, that means that I'm gone. And I'm so sorry it came down to this. I remember all the good times we've had with each other, and I'll carry them with me up to wherever I go. I'm hoping it's somewhere with Roxy. Anywhere Roxy is, if I'm with her, I'll be happy.

                                We've been through so much together. Years of blood and sweat. Years of laughter and happiness. Years of tears and sadness. Whatever we've done in the past few years, we did it together, and I'm so grateful that I met you all. This band is probably the best thing I've ever done, and I'm glad I accomplished something as beautiful as this before I left.

                                Do you remember when we went to my step dad's bungalow for the first time after the X Factor? And we asked each other what we wanted to be when we grew up?

                                We all said one word, the same word. And we wanted each other to be the same thing.

                                Happy.

                                I'm happy now. I'm at peace.

                                And even if I'm not with you literally, I'm still with you.

I'll be next to you forever.

                                Please don't give up on One Direction. You've worked too hard on this band for it to go to waste. I know I gave up on you all, and I'm sorry, but you can save it. I believe in you guys. Keep fighting.

                Dear girls,

                                I know we were never that close... and I regret not talking to all more. We could have been great friends, and it's sad that we never were.

                                Thank you for making my boys happy. Please keep them happy.

                                Thank you for making Roxy happy. I don't think I could ever repay you for that.

                                That's the best gift anyone could ever give me, and I'm forever grateful.

                                Don't give up on your dreams, I'm telling you from experience. You are all wonderfully talented and don't let this tragedy stop you. This is just a minor bump in the road. Drive over it.

                                Please stay strong for my boys and steer them in the right direction.

Dear Mom, Dad, Gemma,Robin,

                                Thank you for sticking there with me through all of those girls.

Thank you for somehow managing to make my mind reel back to Roxy.

Thank you for teaching me how to ride a bike.

Thank you for teaching me how to ride a car.
