Wrecking Ball
Chapter 42
Niall and I share the same expression as we both stare at Harry. Confused and shocked. What did he mean get rid of him?
Harry was standing now and holding his arm out for me to take but I just stared at him. I looked over at Niall and he was staring at me now.
I stood and my feet carried me to where Niall had been sitting and he stood as I walked over. We both looked at each other for only a moment before I pulled him in for a hug.
‘She needs you.’ I whisper softly in his ear and a tear escapes from my eye.
Before I let Niall talk I walk to Harry and take his arm. Harry nods a goodbye to Niall and escorts me to his range rover where he opens my door for me and helps me in.
After a few minutes of driving and silence I build up the courage to break the tension surrounding us.
‘Harry.’ Harry turns his head slightly towards me but keeps his eyes on the road. ‘Umm what do you mean get rid of Louis?’
Harry turned his head back towards the road and cleared his throat before he spoke. ‘I’m going to fight him and I’m going to win. When I do I will make him leave.’
I bite my lip and fight back tears. If it wasn’t for me and Grace cropping up in the boy’s lives they would all be happy and not fighting with one another.
‘All these problems you are having stem from me and Grace Harry. Don’t you ever wish you never met us?’ I ramble at him quickly.
Harry smiles at me and places his hand on my thigh.
‘You are my life now Samii. I will die to protect you.’ Harry squeezes my thigh lightly as he says the word die.
‘Where are we going?’ I change the subject quickly not wanting to think about what Harry would do for me.
‘Grace’s and Niall’s.’
The rest of the journey was silent and I was desperate to get out of the car as the tension inside the car was stifling.
Harry rang the doorbell and stepped back so he was behind me. The door opened and Liam was standing the other side. His eyes were sunken back into his head and had black circles surrounding them. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night. I offered him a weak smile and he returned it.
Liam stepped to one side and let us in.
‘Where is she?’ I said giving Liam a hug.
‘Nursery.’
I kiss him on the cheek, almost like a thank you for everything, before walking down the hallway to what used to be my room.
The door is open when I get there and I stand in the doorway. Grace is sat in the rocking chair moving slowly and staring at the crib that will hold a baby in only 4 months. My heart aches for her as I watch her. She is broken and her eyes are a lot like Liam’s but red instead of black.
I walk into the room and stand in front of her. Her eyes don’t move from the crib to even look at me so I sit at her feet.
‘Grace?’ I say softly trying to get her attention but it doesn’t work.
‘Harry and Louis are having a fight tomorrow night Grace. Harry will win and our problems with Louis will go away with him. Everything will get better darling.’ I place my hand on hers and stroke her knuckles.
This gesture finally get’s her attention and she looks down at my hand on hers and then to my eyes.
‘I just don’t care anymore Samii.’ Her voice is croaky from all the crying she has been doing. ‘All I care about is my baby and you.'
*Harry’s P.O.V*
I follow Liam into the kitchen where Zayn is sat on one of the stools skilfully rolling up a cigarette and placing it behind his ear. He nods at me to acknowledge my presence and I nod back.
I sit down on one of the stools facing Zayn and Liam sits next to me.
I drum my fingers on the counter as I explain to the boys what’s happening with Louis and the fight. Their reactions are what I had expected. Disappointment and slight anger.
‘I understand if you don’t want to be involved.’ I finish my story.
‘No we don’t.’ Zayn says ‘but somebody has to be there for those girls and clearly you and Niall aren’t thinking straight.’
I bite my lip at his comment trying to control my anger. How fucking dare he. I know how to look after Samii.
‘We will be there.’ Liam sighs. ‘But we are only there for the girls.’
I switch the bathroom light off and walk into my bedroom. Samii is sitting up in bed reading a book and I smile at her scrunched up nose. She always does that when she is concentrating or thinking hard. I stand and look at her for a few minutes admiring her beauty and everything I love about her.
‘Come to bed boo.’ Samii says as she looks up and puts her book on the bedside table.
I follow my instructions and walk to the bed as Samii pulls my side of the covers back. As soon as I’m in bed Samii curls up into me and I hold her close.
‘I’m scared Harry. About tomorrow.’ She mumbles into my chest.
‘Don’t be. I will fight for you with everything I have and I am.’ I kiss her head and she looks up into my eyes.
Samii lightly kisses my lips. ‘Make love to me Harry.’ She mumbles into my lips.
I smile down at her and return the kiss.
‘Gladly Miss Wood.’
