the daughter ❥ calum hood

chapter thirty one - three years

this chapter is going to show a few peoples pov all from the same day!

kaia's pov // october ten

three years. three years ago today, I lost my best friend, my brother, my world. three years ago today, I begged my mom to let me go out with pres, char, and his other friends for a starbucks run. so, three years ago today, I could've lost my own damn life too.

it was eight in the morning and I was the only one up. harry was sound asleep in his room while I was out on the sofa crying my eyes out. I tried being as silent as I could, but failed. I struggled to breathe as I choked out multiple times. 

a part of me wanted to wake harry so he could hold me and tell me everything was okay, but another part of me didn't want him to see me like this. I would call calum, but it was four or five am where he was.

I looked at my lock screen, my heart aching at the sight of presley and i. "fuck." I threw my phone across the room as it hit the wall, making a loud thud, before it fell to the ground.

I suddenly heard footsteps coming from harry's room. I turned to see a sleep harry walking over to me. he looked at the wall then down at my phone, picking it up. "I'm sorry." I sniffled, "you could g-go back to sleep." he nodded no, sitting next to me, placing my phone on the coffee table. "come here." he mumbled, opening his arms for me. I didn't hesitate. I threw myself into his arms as I began sobbing harder than before. "I miss him."

"I know you do." he said calmly, running his fingers through my hair. "it's okay."

he held me for what felt like hours. I hated that I took up all this time for his trip but again, this is what happens every year.

harry's pov

"hey." cindy, kaia's mum said.

"hello, good afternoon." I answered softly, "you doing alright?"

"I'll be fine." she sniffled, "kaia still asleep?"

"she woke up crying around eight," I started, "she thankfully fell back to sleep about fifteen minutes ago."

"still as bad as last year?" her mum asked.

I nodded yes, "she destroyed her phone." 

she sighed, "we'll get that fixed later this week."

I nodded.

"have you seen matthew?"

"not today, no." I said, "is everything alright?"

"he wasn't here when I woke up," she shrugged. "not sure where he's gone."

"hes probably out on a walk. no need to worry."

"I guess."

"do you have any plans for today?"

"matt and I were going to go to the cemetery. not sure if that's still happening."

"let me know if you need me to come along, I'll drive you up."

"thank you harry." she said, giving me a weak smile. "I'll let you know."

"of course."

"I'm gonna go make myself some coffee, want me to make you some?" she asked.

"no thank you, I don't want to get up." I said. kaia was asleep on me with one of her arms around me, I don't want to wake her. cindy nodded, making her way back up.
