Chapter Seven:When I Look At You
Today is the day birdy gets out of the hospital and we are all going over to my house to see everyone since today was my parents anniversary they have been married for seventeen years today and we was all getting together just us like uncle niall and li and my dads and uncle zayn and pretty much everyone even my nanny's.
Even my aunties are coming we are all gonna be outside dad and papa will be grilling out with all of our family and this is also birdy's coming home party and I help birdy into uncle niall's car and she says "I can walk rosie" I laugh and soon enough we was pulling into my driveway and I see everyone in the backyard they had the kareoke stage set up.
I walk upstairs to slide on some blue jean shorts and today birdy is gonna sing a song for her dad me and her are gonna sing never grow up by taylor swift and I will be dedicating it to my dads also and I walk downstairs to the backyard and everyone is here except li and sophia and ryker they are on there way.
I close the sliding glass door when I am attacked by hugs by both of my grandma's and I say "hi nannies" they both kiss my cheek and daddy haz's mum says "your dad told me about you and ryker" I went white as a piece of cotton and she says "sweety i'm not mad I love you and I straightened him out too that he should know what it's like to fall in love with someone he's not supposed to".
I nodd and exclaim "thats what i'm trying to tell papa lou but he doesn't get it" nanny jay rubs my arm and she says "sweety I know but your his little girl your the only girl besides bridgette but he just doesn't wanna see you grow up".
I smile and then birdy waves me over I lead my nannies over to the stage and I say "me and birdy are gonna sing a song together for dads and uncle niall" they both smile and wave everyone over and then I see ryker walking into the backyard through the door I wave him over and then birdy says "okay this song is dedicated to my dad just know that I appreciate everything that you do I may not like it at first but I always come around to it".
Her eyes meet up with uncle niall's and she continues "and this song is called never grow up and it's for you daddy" he smiles at her and I say into the microphone "and daddy haz and daddy lou like birdy said I may not agree with you 100% at the time but you just gotta know" my voice breaks as my eyes meet up with daddy lou's "I don't like fighting with you daddy lou" I see the tears rolling down his cheeks.
Daddy haz wraps a arm around him and I nodd to birdy and she starts to strum the chords of her guitar and she sings the first line
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that
I sing along to birdy and my eyes never leaving daddy lou's
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up
Birdy sings the next line and her eyes meet up with her moms I smile and I look at daddy haz and he mouths "a taylor swift song?" I smile back at him
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your p.j.s getting ready for school
My smile fades when I see tears rolling down daddy's lou's eyes and I mouth to him "I love you daddy" he smiles
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
And no one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up
I sing the next line by myself and birdy sings background to me and I look at both of my dads
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
I smile at both of my dads
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
I know slowly but surely I will have to grow up I may not want to but I am willing to keep moving forward
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to
Please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up
When the song ends everyone claps and cheers and I walk over to my dads as does birdy and I say "daddy lou i'm growing up i'm still your baby girl but daddy?" he raises a eyebrow at me and I say "you can let go now daddy it doesn't mean that i'm gonna go away i'm always gonna be here just remember that I was your daughter first".
He hugs me and he whispers "i'll try to accept it it's gonna be awhile i'm not gonna just be okay with it overnight okay?" I nodd and reply "I know that dad thats all I want" he kisses me on the forehead and I say "you know what dad?" I step back to look at both of them "not once have you asked if he makes me happy".
He takes a deep breath and he asks "does he make you happy?" I smile and reply "he does daddy i'll tell you what I told daddy haz he makes me feel like i'm the only girl in the world out of all these people here and out there he chooses me".
He smiles and he looks up to daddy haz and daddy haz says "he said the same thing when we went out to wendy's that day just us he says you make him feel like he can move mountains and just seeing you smile lights his whole world up and out of all the guys you could have you choose him".
I blush and daddy lou says "uh someone is waiting for you" he smiles at me I turn around and see ryker standing a few feet away from me I turn and look at daddy lou and he says "go ahead i'll be fine" I smile and start to walk away but halfway I turn back around and look back to my dad.
I turn to ryker and mouth "one second?" he nodds with a smile and he mouths "go tell him you love him" I smile as I run back to both of my dads and I hug them both as my chest collides with there's and I whisper "I love you daddy haz and daddy lou" when daddy haz sits me onto the ground he holds me in his massive arms.
Daddy haz kisses me on the forehead "we love you too baby girl always have and always will I mean like what taylor's song said you've had us wrapped around your finger since the day you were born" I giggle and walk to ryker and hug him and I whisper to him "I got another song to do listen to the words ok?" he nodds as I walk away from him.
I stand on the stage and I look around at everyone and then I look at ryker he just smiles at me as I put on my ear microphone and I say "this song is dedicated to my boyfriend ryker just listen to the words okay?" he smiles and nodds I play the beggining of the song on the keyboard and I sing the first line.
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long
I see birdy step up from the crowd and she grabs her guitar and starts playing along to my music I smile at her
'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at ryker he just smiles at and everyone was starting to sway to the music.
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
I hear birdy sing along to me and I hear the drums kick in and I know it's andy and I smile when I see ryker's eyes glaze over with tears
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I hear birdy's guitar solo and uncle niall starts to clap for all of us and she keeps singing along to me
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at you
Yeah,
Whoa-oh,
You appear just like a dream to me
When my song ends everyone uproars into cheers and I remove the microphone and we walk down and ryker wraps his arms around me in a hug and he whispers "I loved it" I smile as I look up at him and I reply "i'm glad you loved it" he kisses me on the nose I giggle.
I break the hug and we are all sitting around and just talking and eating the food daddy haz had fixed us and we were still outside in the backyard at the fire pit we have and I look at birdy and I walk upstars and slide on a pair of soft victoria secret trousers and one of daddy lou's old shirts and birdy she does the same thing.
I grab my duvet and walk back downstairs and I sit on the couch we had on the backporch and we had a big pavilion over our heads I snuggle on the couch with ryker behind me and birdy she was snuggling her head in my lap I was just leaning into ryker's side and we was all seated by the fire.
I look at daddy lou and I say "hey dad?" both of there eyes meet mine and I look at daddy lou and I say "tell us yours and daddy haz's story please?" his smile brightens and he laughs and replies "you've heard it a million times rosey posey" I smile and birdy turns her head to face them and she says "yeah come on uncle lou we wanna hear the love story".
I smile and he turns to daddy haz and he nodds and uncle zayn next to them and perrie at his side and uncle liam and then next to uncle zayn was uncle niall and auntie carolina and she was snuggled into his chest same way I am with ryker and then in the middle of all of us was my dads and uncle liam and sophia was on the other side of ryker and me.
She was in liam's lap while birdy she had her feet in andy's lap and her head in my lap and daddy lou and all of my nanny's was still here just seated in the loveseats and recliners while daddy haz's sister was seated on the floor same for daddy lou's sister's says "ok well it all started when I went to audition for the x factor".
I smile and he continues on with the story "I was really nervous I think your daddy could tell" I smile as I see daddy haz start to smile and he continues after daddy lou "I decided I needed to go to the bathroom so I walked in and I bumped into this beautiful blue eyed feathery dirty blonde haired boy".
I giggle as I feel ryker's hands in my hair which makes me lean my head onto his shoulder and daddy lou continues "and then after that was history shortly after that we got cut from the x factor" I raise my head and I ask "wait a minute? you didn't make it through?".
He smiles and he shakes his head and daddy haz continues "as our individual selves we didn't make it" I take a deep breath and he says "but shortly after that they called us back onto the stage and i'll never forget what your uncle simon said".
I smile and he says "we decided to put you in a group" I bite my lower lip and giggle and daddy lou says "if you ever wanna see the footage of it me and your dad will show you" I smile and uncle niall pulls out his phone and he says "hold on" he types away on it and he says "pass it down to her".
When I grab the phone I click on the video and I see daddy haz and daddy lou in there younger days I giggle and ryker leans forward and he says "dad whats up with your hair?" I laugh and I look at daddy haz and I say "looks like I get my long curls from my daddy".
He smiles and I see uncle simon say we've decided to put you in a group and I see daddy lou hop into daddy haz's arms I giggle at them and I say "aww look at daddy lou he picked you up your so tiny" he gives me a playful glare and I say "so this is the moment huh?".
Daddy lou smiles and he says "okay liam your closer to her find the video of all our video diaries she needs to see them" I scroll down on the video and I say "that one?" I show him the phone while pointing at the video he nodds as I click on the video and I see all of my uncles sitting on the stairs.
I smile when I see the one where daddy haz and lou was sitting next to each other and they kept looking at each other and threw the process of the videos I see how in love they became with each other and daddy lou see's my face and he says "you see it don't you?" I nodd and reply "yeah I see through every video how in love you two are and there's not a change in your love at all".
He smiles while sitting on daddy haz's lap still and he says "well why thanks love but at that time we didn't know it we know now that we were but" my smile fades and I say "you didn't know then" he smiles and nodds and he continues "we were so young and in love I remember it was on our one of our tour diaries and" I smile and he looks at daddy haz and he continues on.
"I had my arms wrapped around daddy lou's waist he had that gray beanie on and his black glasses which I love" I giggle and find it cute that he remembers what daddy lou was wearing that day that was years ago "and I remember management flipping out all because I had my hands around his waist and I hadn't even know about my sexuality yet and they told us to tone it down".
I bite my lower lip and he continues "and the next time after that it was a while after that maybe a couple months and I had asked lou "where he wanted to sit" and lou replied "next to you" such a small moment but to me it meant everything".
I smile and he continues on "and then shortly after that management kept splitting us apart like when we would sing they would put me on the farthest end of him or zayn would be in the middle of us I remember one time daddy lou he was sitting in front of me and I was leaning on the back of his chair.
I had started to tap my hand letting him know it was me behind him and slowly he slide his elbow back to touch my hand and uncle zayn he leaned forward to cut off the line of vision of the video camera hoping it didn't catch it but it ended up getting it which we didn't care".
I smile and I ask "daddy haz & daddy lou? do you know why I asked you to tell us your story?" they both smile and nodd and I say "if I told you mine and ryker's story I bet you there is similarities in your story and ours it's the same forbidden love story except it's flipped where I had my family against us instead of the world".
Daddy haz smiles at me and daddy lou says "I see it baby alright I hear ya" I smile and he looks at ryker and he says "now boy you better not make me regret this" I growl at him and ryker says "you won't regret it mr tomlinson" I smile and ryker says "I won't say uncle lou that would be awkward" I giggle and turn around to look at him and I say "daddy lou?" his eyes meet mine and I pat birdy's head she raises up.
I walk over to them and I sit on daddy lou's lap and I say "thank you thank you thank you" I smile and kiss them both on the cheeks and daddy haz says "alright thats enough your not five anymore" I stick my tongue out at him he acts like he's gonna bite it which makes me draw back and giggle and I say "I love you both".
