Part 43: January 2014 - Part 1

Then after happy months, Louis and Dayna's happiness would end as shocking news made them both grieve. 

When Dayna was at work the next day, half way through her shift, she was sitting in her office filling in some paperwork. Then suddenly there was a knock on the door and Liz entered. "Dayna, there is someone here to see you" Liz said. Dayna looked up and put her pen down. "Oh... um..." Dayna started. "It's ok, the paperwork can wait" Liz smiled. 

Dayna stood up and Johannah walked in. "Johannah?" Dayna asked. "Hi Dayna" Johannah tried to smile. "What's wrong? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Doncaster" Dayna asked hundreds of questions and said tons of stuff but Johannah had news. 

"I've came here to tell you something" Johannah tried to hold in her tears but they just came pouring out. Dayna stood up and ran and hugged Johannah. "Johannah? What's wrong? You have to tell me" Dayna said cautiously. Johannah had red eyes and she held Dayna's hands tightly. "Ok I'll say. It's just, Louis's gran Margaret, Keith's wife, you know her. She died today" Johannah cried. 

Dayna froze. Margaret was a lovely woman and she loved Dayna. She remembers when she last met her that just as they were leaving, Margaret said 'I'll get my ear-plugs love and I'll come to see Louis's shows'. I guess it was goodbye from there. 

"Margaret? No. Not Margaret!" Dayna started crying but she stopped. "Why do you want to see me before Louis?" Dayna asked. "I don't have the heart to tell him. I've had to tell almost everyone but I can't tell him! I hate seeing my baby boy cry" Johannah insisted. "I thought, who better than you?" Johannah had a small smile. 

Dayna looked at her. "Just remember, you don't have" Johannah started. "Yes. I'll do it of course" Dayna insisted. Johannah froze. "Think Dayna. You hate seeing Louis cry as much as I do, it could make your heart break" Johannah sighed. "I said I would do it. I meant it" Dayna convinced Johannah. 

Johannah sighed. "If that's the case. I've spoken to your boss and she said you can go home anytime and get can as much time off as you need. You'd better go now as I've also came to London to tell Louis's cousin Hannah" Johannah said. Dayna looked at her. "Lottie?" Dayna asked. Johannah understood what she meant. "She knows. She's old enough to understand. She's at her boyfriend Mason's house, he's keeping her company" Johannah said. 

"Felicite?" Dayna added. "Yes. She's over at her best friend Monica's house for company" Johannah said. Dayna then froze. What about the twins? They were only 9 after all. "Daisy and Phoebe? Do they know?" Dayna asked with a worried look on her face. Johannah shook her head. "No not yet. Let them be jubilant a little while longer" Johannah said. 

Dayna nodded as she understood. When Dayna was told her gran had died, Dayna's cousin who was only 7, wasn't told until the very next day. Dayna told Johannah the story about her cousin not being told and Johannah nodded. "I need to go now. Get your stuff together, and get home. Louis needs to be told. Break it to him as gently as you can. I'll maybe be able to come to your house tonight" Johannah sighed. 

Dayna got her things and threw on her coat. She and Johannah left together. Dayna left the front door to go to the car park and get her car. The paparazzi were already there. Dayna and Johannah put their hand over their face and Dayna managed to get in her car and get away home.
