Chapter 21

Something to Remember

Darci's POV

"Okay Darci, go kill it!" My cousin, Jake, said. "I'll do my best." I laugh.

"Hey yall! Good to be back in Texas!" I say into the microphone. I start playing and before I know it, it's the last song.

"Okay guys, I'm gonna ask y'all to pull out a phone or light of some sort." I start to tear up. "This is a very special song, it's my brother, Kendall's, favorite song. Kendall died while fighting in the war almost two years ago. So Kendall, I dedicate this to you." I look to my left and see the boys smiling at me and giving me the thumbs up.

"When you try your best and you don't succeed, when you get what you want, and not what you need." I sing. As I sing the crowd is smiling and crying, then they start cheering.

I see the girls in the front row point to the screen behind me.

I turn around and see what they were cheering for.

There behind me is a slide show of me as Kendall and my dad. The boys were in few.

Memories were playing in my head as I finished the song.

"Thank you guys, so much! I enjoyed every single second of it. Thank you Houston, Texas!" I say into the mic.

I walk off the stage and straight into Harry's arms.

"I love you." He whispers into my ear. "I love you, too" I say.

They boys go on stage and perform.

I watch them from backstage with my sister and mom. The rest of my family had to go.

Harrys POV

Seeing Darci's eyes light up when we out the pictures behind her was amazing. I don't think I've seen her happier.

We finished up ourselves and met everyone back stage.

"Thank y'all. So much. I love you guys more than anything." She said.

"Hey, it was all Zayn's idea babe. I think you should be thanking him the most. And a few others.." Liam said. "Thanks Z." She says pulling him into a big hug. "No problem Darci, we wanted to give you something to remember." "Trust me guys. I will always remember the moment. And every one before and after it. But who are the others?" She asks.

I point to her mom and sister.

"Oh. Um thanks y'all. A lot." She says quite awkwardly.. It's just a little sad that she can't even say 'I love you' or 'thank you' to her own blood without making it awkward. But then again I can't blame her, they treated her like shit her whole life.

"You're welcome Darci." Kym said with a smile. Her mom said nothing. "Mom?" Darci said. Her mom did nothing. "Hellooo? Mom?" She said again. Nothing.... "Oh okay, um can we go yet or no? I'm kinda tired."

I stood there frozen while the others nod their heads and say goodbye.

"Um excuse me? Are you not going to say goodbye to your daughter? You'll most likely not see her for a few months or even years." I say trying to at least say bye to her. "No, I want nothing to do with her. And I'm sure the feelings are mutual?" She asks Darci an indirect question. "Yes, they are. C'mon Haz."

We leave the venue and arrive at the hotel. "I'm sorry Darci. I love you, goodnight." I say as we head towards our separate rooms. "I love you too, good night." She gives me a hug and I give her a quick peck on the lips. She doesn't seem alright. Something's off. Maybe she's tired? Or was it her mom?

Darci's POV.

I walk into my room I share with Zayn with a heavy sigh.

"Whats the matter?" he asks. "Life." "What do you mean, love?" "I feel like Harry is still "in love" with Kym." I say. "Why do you say that?"

I sigh again.

"Because a long time ago, whenever we found out Kym and him were going to be together again he said that "I would always be his" an then I said "And You'll always be my sisters boyfriend" Because, you know. It's kinda true. They're "together". And he didn't say anything about it or correct me or anything. And then when she first came back here and he walked down stairs, his eyes lit up. Like, like I don't know fire? But how could you not fall in love with her? She's perfect. You know I've gained ten pounds? I'm 165 pounds. I'm fat as hell and she's fucking skinny." I was crying by now. "I don't understand anything anymore. I want to leave."

I felt arms around me.

"Darci. Leave what?" "I want to die. I'd rather die than stay on this earth. I thought my depression was getting better, Zayn. But it's only getting worse. I don't know what to do anymore" I sobbed into his chest. He cradled me there for what felt like a lifetime before I fell asleep.

••••••••••

I woke up to four people by my side.

"Where's Harry?" I ask.

Niall looks down. Zayn looks at Liam and Liam looks at Zayn. Louis looks at me and crawls into my bed.

"Darci, you're not gonna like this one bit. I- well me and Zayn found him and Kym. Together."

"Well yeah. I mean, they are "together"." I retort.

"No Darci. Together. As in. Um."

"Stop. Now. Just stop." I looked at Zayn.

"I told you so,"
