Tell Me A Lie
Chapter 17
~ Harry's POV ~
Nervous. That is all I can say right now. I am SO nervous. But no matter how nervous I am. Capri is a billion times worse.
She is standing in front of me and pacing back and forth. Every once in a while you will hear a sniffle, or a whimper. My eyes gloss over with tears whenever I think of Capri walking around the house with a basketball for a stomach. I get shivers whenever I imagine Capri giving birth and me standing cheering her on.
I want that. But I want the baby to be mine. Not her FATHERS, mine.
"Okay, there is the timer. I can't do this Harry! What if I am pregnant. Will I be happy or sad? And if I am not pregnant then will I be dissapointed? I can't win here Harry!" She is going insane. I can see it."
"Capri..." I start as I wrap her in my arms. "It will all work out fine. Everything happens for a reason. If the stock is posotive then we will see a doctor to confirm everything, and then from there you can choose if you want to keep the child, or if you want to give it up for adoption. Either way all of us will be here for you" I say as she calms down.
"Okay. You stay here. I want to do this on my own." She says as she walks into the bathroom.
"HARRY!!" I hear. I stand up and rush to the bathroom. She holds all three sticks up and I get a good look at them. Wow.
"How do you feel about those?" I say as I wrap my arms around her.
"I feel... Like this was right." I know how she feels.
"So are you okay?" She turns to face me and she smiles.
"Yeah. I'm okay. I actually feel happy that I can wait to have a child with the person that I will love forever" she says.
"Have you found him yet?" I ask. She knows that I am talking about me. Smart one she is.
"Too soon to tell." She stands up on her tippy toes and kisses me. Our first kiss since this morning. And usually we would kiss all day.
"One second, my phone is ringing" she leaves the bathroom and I follow closely behind. Her kiss is still lingering on my lips.
~ Capri's POV ~
I step out of the bathroom, and I head to my purse. I pick up my phone and see a caller ID I haven't seen for a long time now. I drop my phone, it continues to ring and I stare blankly at the phone on the floor.
"Babe who is it" he says as he pick up my phone and reads the caller.
"Dad..." I whisper.
Harry sets the phone on the bed as I sit on the ground still staring.
"WHY YHE FUCK IS MY DAD CALLING ME?" I scream.
"Sweetheart calm down. Maybe it's like a drunk call or something" I nod my head no.
"My dad hasn't called my phone since he started drinking. Mostly because he could never find it." I look at my phone and I now have 3 missed calls from him. It started ringing again. What if he was hurt, at the hospital, or he's sober and wants be back home with him as his daughter, not his punching bag.
"I'm answering it. What if he is hurt? Or sober!?" I say as I slide my phone to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Capri?" I put the phone on speaker so Harry could hear.
"Dad? Are you okay?"
"Where the fuck are you?!" He sounds angry.
"Not with you"
"I can see that because I came home and I really needed you for comfort and you weren't home!" Comfort. That's what he called it.
"Well I am with Jade" I respond, my voice shaking with my hands.
"Come home!!" No
"No!" I say.
"No? Did you say no to me?" He did this whenever I said no to him when I was younger.
"Yea I did. I'm not coming home, and you can't make me! I am 18 now and I am legal. You don't own me anymore." I say. He breathes heavily though the phone. I can smell the alcholhal. Probably because I have been in this situation many times.
"I swear to god if you ever tell anyone about me taking control of your body I will kill you!" With that he hangs up. I feel sick. My hands shake uncontrollably as I set my phone on the floor.
Kill me?
"He didn't mean that Capri. He was just drunk" Harry says. No he means it. He means everything he says. EVERYTHING!
"N-no H-Harry h-e m-means I-it." I manage to get out.
"I am so sorry Capri. He can't do that to you." Harry whispers in my ear as I cry.
"Do you want to do something with me?" I asks wiping my tears away.
He nods his head in confusion.
"Come with me." I say standing up. It's only 9 o'clock so I know everyone is still awake.
"How much ice cream do you guys have?" I ask still sniffling.
"A whole freezer full." He responds. I smile and grab his hand walking down to the kitchen.
"Okay we each get half a tub of ice cream and we get HUGE bowls. Grab everything candy, cookie, or topping and come back here, I will get the ice cream ready!" He looks at me wierd and nods is head searching through the cabinets. I dish our ice cream up when he comes back.
"I got gummy bears, gummy worms, Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, milk duds, m&ms, sprinkles, skittles, starburst, and jelly beans. I also grabbed some strawberry, chocolate, and Carmel sauce." He said.
"Perfect! Okay so basically we have 60 seconds to creat the most amazing ice cream Sunday ever!" I say excidely.
"Sounds good to me."
"Ready... Set... GO!!" I yell as we jolt for the items and pour them into the bowl.
"Aah you so fast how do you do that?!" Harry screeches.
"Years of practice!! Now shut up and make you damn sunday!"
he chuckles and continue to put the goodies on the bowl.
"And 60 seconds are up!" I say as we put the last of our toppings in the bowl.
"Now we eat!" I say leading him to the couch with the others.
"Hey! Why are you guys having a big ass bowl of ice cream and not me!?" Niall screeched.
"Hahaha. Where are the other girls?" I ask the boys sitting across from us.
"They went to the club, and since you were with Harry they didn't want to bug you" Louis responded.
"I wouldn't have gone even if they did invite me" I say eating a big spoonful of ice cream.
"BRAINFREEZE!!!" I yell as they all laugh at me.
"You are clearly inexperienced ice cream eater"Zayn said walking over and snatching the bowl out of my hands.
"Hey! That my ice cream! Get your own, Malik!" I screech as he take a big spoonful into his mouth.
We all laugh at him and soon ebough he gets a BRAINFREEZE too.
"Gimme Zayn!" Louis say whwhiles grabbing the ice cream.
"No no no you can't take my ice cream bitches!" I yell walking over to louis and pulling his ear. He gives it up and I take it back to my seat.
"You never take a woman's ice cream" Liam says shaking his head.
"Harry can I ask you something in private just for a second" I ask getting up.
"Sure babe," he says following me. We both still have our ice creams in hand.
"Harry, I know the test said negative but I still missed my period by 9 days now. What if something's wrong...?" I say.
"You have never been late? Ever?" He asks.
"Once when I was 14 but not since then." I respond.
"Give it another day or two then we will go see a doctor" I nod and we head back to the couch.
"So about this whole pregnancy thing... Did you take a test?" Zayn asks.
"Today. They said negative." I tell . They nod and smile.
"Her dad called her today..." HARRY?
"Niall eat the rest of my ice cream I don't feel so well." I say getting up and rushing to the bathroom.
I don't bother shutting the door. I lean over the toilet and throw up everything I ate today.
"Babe, I didn't mean to upset you." Harry said while holding my hair back.
"You didn't, my dad did."
Nervous. That is all I can say right now. I am SO nervous. But no matter how nervous I am. Capri is a billion times worse.
