Hanging By A Moment

Samantha's POV:
'Hey love' Zayn greeted me when he opened the door of the bachelor pad. 'Why aren't you guys home?' I asked when as I entered. On my way home from out of town, he told me to head to the pad rather than their house. 'Hey Sammie' Perrie greeted me. 'I'll just check on the twins upstairs' Zayn left not giving me a respond. 'Umm Sammie' Perrie took my hands for me to seat down. 'We actually stayed over here last night' she muttered nervously. 'Ooh' I replied. 'Please don't be mad, it's just we thought...'Perrie began to ramble on her explanation. 'It's alright' I interrupted her. 'I trust you, that's why I made you a Godparent to my kid' I showed her a smile. 'Come on let's go see them' she led me upstairs. 'So where's Anna?' she asked. 'She stayed in Cambridge, to visit some friends, she'll be back in a couple of days' I replied.

When we got into Zayn's old room, Louis, Liam and Niall where crowding around the twins on the bed. Niall and Louis were playing with Taleiah while Liam was stroking Jacob's arm who was fast asleep. I was in awe of the scene before my eyes. Since the birth of the twins, I haven't really given the other boys the time to spend with them. But now I can see that was a mistake. The boys really cared about the twins and I shouldn't deprive them from getting to know them.

'Mummy' Taleiah called out. 'Hey sweetie' I walked up to the bed and took her up. 'Sammie' the boys chorused. 'Hey boys' I smiled at them. 'Why don't you stay here the night, it's really late' Liam suggested. 'No, it's okay' I told him. 'Come on it's late and Jacob's already asleep' Zayn reminded me. 'Come on love, we haven't really hanged out much' Louis informed me. Him saying that just reminded me of the reality of it. After I left London a year ago, I've distanced myself from them and our relationship hasn't been the same like it was before. It was like loosing brother's you never had.

'Just like old times' Niall flashed me his sweet smile. 'But there's no spare room' I tried to reason. The bachelor pad was built with 6 bedrooms, one for each of the lads and a spare room which they house all the fan made artwork they received. Since Zayn was staying here with Perrie he was going to be sleeping in his old room which means all rooms were occupied.

'You can take Harry's room' Louis suggested.

Then it came to my attention that Harry wasn't home. 'Umm but where's he going to sleep...' I replied 'Harry's been out with Cara since this morning, so he's probably going to stay the nigh- Ouch' Niall rubbed his tummy as Louis interrupted him with a nudge. 'So can we send your driver home?' Perrie suggested so that I could stay here the night. 'Come on Sammie' Liam pleaded. 'Please' Louis pouted.

Harry's POV:
When I got back to the pad, I was surprised to find a quiet house. I mean it was nearly midnight but it was merely impossible to get some quiet at our place. 'Oh hey guys' I greeted them as I walked up the stairs . They were crowding at either side of my bedroom door and didn't seem to notice my presence. 'What are we doing?' I asked as I neared them but again they didn't reply. I walked up to my door which was open and was surprised by who stood in my room.

Sammie had her back to me as she sang to Taleiah who she was rocking in her arms."Those green eyes and that contagious smile" she sang. I've never heard of the song before, so I think it was one of her originals. But again it's never been played on radio. "Everything was perfect, everything was great. I was on a fairytale. It's a dream while I'm awake" I've missed her lips and the way they verbalised.

"It's sad not to hear you, calling me up, at 3am" I smiled at the sound of her voice. "No one's ever gonna sing to me Stevie Wonder songs again" her choice of words were starting to get me to think.

'Aww Haz'I heard Liam mutter. "I'll miss your kiss and your curly hair" Sammie sang. 'Naww Harry' I looked over to Perrie who's eyes were puffy. Were they thinking what I was thinking? Was she referring to me in this song?

"But now that we said goodbye, I'll pretend that I'm alright. Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright" I frowned a little at the word goodbye. "The way we laugh with four more guys , you walk around naked and cover my eyes" she sang and the boys laughed quietly. Sammie laid Taleiah on the bed but continued to sing.

"It's sad not to hear you; Calling me up, at 3am" now I remembered those times I used to call her up at 3am when she was in LA for work.

"No one's ever gonna sing to me Stevie Wonder songs again" and she would always request for a Stevie Wonder song.

"I'll miss your kiss and your curly hair" does she really miss me, as much as I've missed her ?

"I'll pretend that I'm alright, yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright" she ended the song. Sammie placed a kiss on Taleiah's head and stood up. The lads and Perrie quickly fled the scene, trying not to get caught in the act....and I was left to face the music.

'Umm Hi' I walked towards her. 'Hey' she greeted. 'Oh sorry, the boys said you weren't gonna be home, so they said the kids and I can stay here the night' she explained. 'But we can leave, I'll just call my driver so-' she spun around to grab her phone. 'Sammie' I grabbed her wrist. She looked down at my grip and I quickly released it knowing that I was making her feel uncomfortable.

'It's okay, stay' I smiled at her. 'But where are you-' she reasoned. 'I'll sleep downstairs with Zayn' I interjected. 'No you shouldn't, this is your room-'she reasoned again. 'No, it's okay' I quickly got some clothes out of my closet and got change in the bathroom before she could give me another reason.

Samantha's POV:
I stroke Taleiah's hair as she slept on the bed. I gazed around the familiar room and it brought back so many memories. I remembered that after Harry moved out of the pad, when he bought a house for us, the lads kept his room the way it was, as if to show that he'll always have a place in the pad. They did the exact same for Zayn's room. I heard the bathroom door clicked open and I turned around to see Harry changed in a new set of clothes. 'Are you sure about this? Taleiah and I could sleep downstairs instead?' I suggested. I felt bad for depriving him of sleeping in his own bed. 'For the last time it's okay' he flashed me a smile that revealed his dimples. I flashed him a quick smile and quickly looked away before his dimples started to work it's magic in captivating the female's soul. I continued to stroke Taleiah's hair and saw in the corner of my eye Harry walking towards the door.

'Goodnight' I heard him say. I looked up and he was standing by the door about to leave. 'Goodnight' I flashed him a smile and he left the room. I walked over to the switch to turned the lights off and then went back to bed. I pulled the duvet over Taleiah and I and the smell of his familiar cologne attached to his bed sheets lingered in my nose. I shuffled my head on the pillow and heard a ruffle noise. I dugged my hand underneath the pillow and found the noise maker.

'Harry' I chuckled as I took out the two chocolate bars.

Harry's POV:
I stared up the ceiling as I slept on the couch opposite from Zayn. I assumed he was already asleep as there was silence for the last 15 minutes. 'So how did it go?' I heard him speak and yet my assumptions were wrong. 'Umm..' I muttered. 'It went okay' I replied with a smile at which he probably didn't see. 'Soo?'he carried on.

'It's over......

......I broke it off' I informed him.

'So what happens now?' he asked.

'I wanna get Sammie back Zayn' I told him.





'Will you help me?' I asked. 'Harry, even if I did help you, at the end of the day that's her decision to make whether or not she's willing to let you back in her life' he gave a valid respond.

'Do you think I still have a chance?' I asked.

'Well you wouldn't have broken up with Cara if you thought you didn't' he replied.
