Leave me

“I….” I stuttered.

There’s no way I’m going to tell them Harry’s the dad.

“Don’t know him…anymore.” I added.

“He sure makes cute kids. Were you with him before or after we left?” Louis asked, curious.

“Mrs.? Your order?” The person behind the counter stated.

I got up and grabbed the food for Daisy, putting her on my lap so she could eat.

“How long are you guys here for?” I asked, dodging his question.

“Another year, until we go on Tour again.” Louis informed.

“Is that how it goes? One year of music and then one year of break?” I questioned.

Right after Simon Cowell signed them, they all left.

“Yup. That’s how its been the last 3 years.” He half smiled.

“So…last year you weren’t actually on tour, you were just ignoring me?” I spat.

“Hadley, we didn’t mean to…” Liam started. He was always the nicest one.

“I tried, believe me. Harry was just…against us talking to you.” Louis put it lightly.

“Course he was.” I muttered stealing a fry from Daisy.

“I know he wasn’t always like that…he was a baker from a small town that wanted a normal life, with a wife and lots of kids. He was always sure that wife would be you…until he got famous. We knew at the beginning he missed you because he wouldn’t shut up about you, and he cried almost every time you called one of us. Then you gave up on calling because we were dicks to you and he stopped crying. And stopped talking about you altogether.” Liam explained.

“Where did you guys go? Last year when you were off Tour? I waited for you. All of you to come back and explain yourselves. I waited for three years and you never came back. You abandoned me.” I said, tears welling up in my eyes.

“Harry…thought it would be best if we stayed in Doncaster to practice our music.” Louis sighed.

Of course. Out of all places he picked Doncaster.

I was born there, and swore I would never go back. My father still lives there, along with his perfect little family, with his new wife, that’s younger than me.

My father and mother split up when my mum got leukemia, and then she died. My dad remarried to Alice, who already had 3 kids. Alice was his age, but soon after they split up. My dad was having an affair with Alice’s daughter, Marie. She was only 17, but the day she turned 18, they got married. That man made me sick, and I swore not to ever go back there again.

“Do you have any idea what I’ve been through? All these years, I just needed someone. Anyone! Alyssa wasn’t even here, because her and Harry started dating right after he left.” I shouted, furious. My boyfriend left me, and my best friend chased after him.

“Hey that’s not fair, we weren’t allowed to call you. And we’ve been through some stuff too you know. All the rumors, all the threats, Zayn leaving the band. For good this time. Eleanor cheated, Dani and Liam broke up. It wasn’t just you Hads…it was hard on us too.” Louis stated.

“Yea,” I threw my hands up, “I guess it was.” I stated biting my lip.

“Do you still live in the same apartment?” Liam asked, trying to change the subject.

“Nope, I moved to 57th and Clydesdale. I live with Calum Hood.” I stated.

“I thought you said you weren’t in a relationship?” Louis raised an eyebrow.

“Were not. We just live together. He’s dating Scarlett Mastiff. He just helps with Daisy when he’s not touring.” I answered.

I stood up, holding Daisy’s hand.

“I better go. I can try to fight through the girls, but I dont want to be late for work.” I stated,
turning and walking out.

“Oh Hads!” Louis yelled.

“You up for seeing Harry again?”

“My girlfriends putting together this big dinner thing. Harry’s gonna be there with Alyssa, but you can bring Calum…if you want to come.” Liam offered.

“Maybe? Ill text you guys later.” Io stated.

“And I'll actually answer you this time.” Louis smiled before I walked out.

“Come on Darcy.” I smiled, picking out an outfit for her.

“Where we going?” She asked sweetly.

“To a party.” I stated, putting on her shirt.

“A party!” She exclaimed.

“Is Cal-y coming?” Daisy asked, as I wedged on her shoes.

“Nope. Cal-y’s not coming.” I laughed at her name for Calum.

“Why not?” She asked.

“Because he has to work. But Scar is.” I smiled.


“Yay!” She yelled.

“Scar, you ready?” I shouted, holding Daisy’s hand.

She ran down, and took a water bottle before running out to the car.

“You sure you want to do this?” She asked.

I nodded, and she drove to the address Louis texted me.

“Hey!” Liam shouted, hugging me.

“This is my girlfriend, Adyson.” Liam smiled, and the girl shook my head.

I went around saying hi to everyone when the door opened.

Louis cleared his throat and I turned.

“Hadley.” Harry rasped.
