P.S. The "Present" chapters won't be really long

"So mom was really sad?" I looked over at Darcy, who was looking at each and every one of us with that expression on her face.

"Your mum was happy and sad at the same time," Niall said, cutting in so that she would understand a bit more.

"How is that even possible?" Darcy asked, confusion written all over her face.

Perrie cut in, taking Darcy's hands into her own, "Well you see, your mum was still trying to figure that out. She was happy because she was with all of us and your father but, she was extremely sad because of the things that happened to her."

"What happened to her?"

Something flickered in Niall's eyes, "Now, now Darc, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves in the story, do we? Your mum had a hard childhood while growing up. People weren't always that nice to her, so she took her sadness and anger out on herself. Kaylee wanted to know why people hated her and- well I am getting ahead of myself," Nialll said, blinking away the oncoming tears.

"Why are you going to cry Uncle Niall?" Darcy had no idea what was in store for her when we finish Kaylee and I's tragic love story.

"Well, Uncle Niall blames himself," Zayn said, trying to steer the attention away from Niall.

"So you guys were extremely famous, went on vacation, and Dad fell in love with a girl who was sad?" She looked around at all of us, who were nodding our heads., "And what did you call yourselves?"

"One Direction," I said and Darcy, but when she saw nobody laughing with her, her laugh slowly died down.

"You have your mothers laugh," Liam said, a small, sad smile forming on his lips. He held Danielle's hand in his own.

"I do?"

"And you have her eyes," I said.

"Can I ask you guys something?" Darcy said, fiddling with her fingers in her lap. I nodded my heads.

"If mum was so sad, why did you fall in love with her? And why does Uncle Ni blame himself?"

Her first question was directed to me and her second was directed to all of us. Niall left the room to use the bathroom. This whole story is as hard on him as it is on me. Kaylee meant the world to him. He might have even loved her more than I loved her.

"Well I didn't know mum was sad at first. Darcy, you can't help who you fall in love with, it just happens. When you fall in love, you will understand. When you find the person you love, you realize that you would do anything for that person, no matter how hard the struggle could be."

Darcy nodded at me, happy with my response. Soon Lou's voice filled the room, taking on Darcy's second question, "Your Uncle Ni blames himself because he wishes he could have been there for Kaylee more."

Darcy furrowed her eyebrows, looking confused as ever, "What do you mean? Weren't you guys on vacation with each other? Wasn't he always around her?

"What I mean is that Niall wasn't always there for Kaylee. You know how you watch the X-Factor? Well we were on that show when we were in our teen years. Niall left Kaylee to go and pursue his dream. He told her he would be back and he never did come back because even though we didn't win the the X-Factor, we became the biggest band on the planet. Kaylee was getting bullied and Niall left her. He said he never would and he did. So after he left, the bullying got worse. He blames himself because he thinks if he stayed with Kaylee and didn't come to the X-Factor, then she would still be alive."

Darcy had tears forming in her eyes, "But that's not Niall's fault. She did that to herself, not him,"

"Try telling him that, " Perrie said, her voice soft.

Soon Niall came back into the room, his eyes red and his cheeks blotchy. His voice cracked, "Should we get back to the story now?"

"Yeah."

"So where were we?" I asked.

"We were at the part where we were going to go snorkeling," Zayn said.

"Right. So that was the day when..."
