Still The One
Chapter 23
~ Capri's POV ~
"Can I explain?" He asks. My eyes wander around the room to avoid eye contact with him. I sigh heavily before looking up to him.
"Yes. I need an explanation. Zayn and Liam didn't exactly give much information." I said. He smiled softly before I gestured him to sit down on the couch.
He did so, and I pulled Darcy down on my lap.
"Hi baby." He says to her while running his hand over her cheek.
"Hi Dadda." he smiled at her words. His gaze wandered back to mine and I melted under his stare. As always.
"My first question. Did you actually think I was lying? About Jacob and Kate?" He knitted his eyebrows together and sighed.
"Yes... Maybe... Honestly I was using it as an excuse to leave you." Ummm what the fuck? My heart fell as those words left his mouth.
"O-okay. Why did you want to leave us?" I asked barely a whisper.
"Capri... I love you. So much. I was never around, I was always on tour and fans were always sending you hate for being with me. And it hurt me to see you with me. You... You're so nice, and sweet, and forgiving. I'm never there to tell you how beautiful you are, or how much I love you. I'm never around to see all the good things that you do for Darcy, I'm almost never around for Darcy's milestones in life. Long story short; I've been trying to get you to hate me so I could see you get over me, and be with someone that will always be around to admire you." Tears slid down my cheeks as I took in everything he had just said.
"So... You tried to get me to hate you? That was your mistake. I could honestly never hate you... Okay! This is ridiculous, am I actually starting to forgive you?" I muttered the last part under my breath.
"I don't expect you to forgi-" I cut him off.
"You shouldn't expect anything from me. You... You slept with someone else. You... Divorced me. Harry, look at it from my point of veiw. You think I'm lying, you divorce me, you sleep with your ex, you leave me by myself with Darcy! I thought I did something wrong this whole time! I didn't know that you were only trying to make me happy! Oh my god. This is so messed up." I looked to him again as his eyes hold a place if shock.
"What? What Harry? Am I being a bitch again?" I snap. He sighs before I hear the front door open and close rapidly. I turn my head towards it and I see Perrie with her purse slung over her shoulder, and red, puffy eyes, along with tear-stained cheeks.
"Per! What's wrong?!" I ask setting Darcy on the ground hugging her. Sobs erupt from her mouth as she clings into me.
"Z-Zayn I-is i-in t-the h-hospital!" I pull away and look at her while tears begin to fall down my cheeks as well.
"What happened?!" I exclaim. She looks up to me with a look that no one could ever describe.
"Jacob.... B-beat h-him." My stomach turned over and my head began to pound.
"Harry! We need to get to the hospital! Now!" I yell while grabbing Darcy and following Perrie back outside.
"What happened?" I asked Zayn as I sit on the chair next to his bed. He had a busted lip, and a couple bruises on his forehead. His left wrist was sprained, and a couple of his fingers were broken.
"Your dad. He saw me walking to the front door of my house. I think he was following me, but he attacked me. He said something about me getting in his way to get close to you again. I'm so sorry Capri." I kissed his cheek and he slightly winced.
"You don't need to be sorry. I'm sorry I dragged all of you into this. My dad.... Is a fucker to say the least. I can't believe he's back and he's hurting people I love. He needs to be put in jail." Zayn chuckled.
"But really, I'm sorry. For everything. Do you know when they'll let you out of here?" I ask.
"Today. And don't think for a second that we're not going to the baby doctor tomorrow." He says sternly. I roll my eyes at him.
"I love you Z." I say.
"I love you too."
~ Harry's POV ~
After the hospital I took Capri back home and we were watching Darcy play with her toys.
"Look... " I start but she cuts me off by kissing my cheek.
"Thank you. For trying to make me happy. But I don't need anyone else to make me happy. I just need you. But 'you' is still making me angry about your previous actions." She says dead serious.
"I know you are. And I will give you all the time in the world to forgive me." I say. I get up to grab my keys off the counter but she grabs my wrist.
"Where are you going?" She asks. I chuckle lightly.
"To Kate's." I respond.
"Ew, no. You're staying here tonight." I smile at her before sitting back down next to her.
"Where does this leave us?" I ask her. She sighs before looking into my eyes.
"Where we were before we made everyone popcorn." She states. I give her a confusing look.
"Two years ago, at the hotel, before we kissed?" I asked amused. She nodded before taking my hand in hers.
"Friends... Until I figure out what we are again."
"Can I explain?" He asks. My eyes wander around the room to avoid eye contact with him. I sigh heavily before looking up to him.
"Yes. I need an explanation. Zayn and Liam didn't exactly give much information." I said. He smiled softly before I gestured him to sit down on the couch.
