Leave me

“Hadley.” Harry rasped.

“Hey!” Alyssa smiled, walking over to me and hugging me.

I gave her an awkward side hug when Harry walked over.

He walked over to me and I wrapped my arms around him, and he nuzzled his head in my hair.

I felt everyone's eyes on us, but Harry kissed my hair, and released.

Scar, nudged me and smiled and I bit my lip.

Daisy tugged on my leg.

“Whose this?” Harry knelt down to Daisy.

“This is my daughter, Daisy.” I smiled.

“Daisy? I like that name,” Harry grinned. ‘Pretty name for a pretty little girl.” He smiled and
Daisy hid behind me.

“Shall we eat?” Adyson offered, and I sat down at the table.

Daisy sat on my lap, and Scar and Harry sat on either side of me.

They started talking to me and asking me how I've been all these years.

“Where do you work?” Alyssa asked.

“Um, I work at a daycare place, not far from here.” I smiled.

“Oh, we have a friend, Lou, and she’s looking for someone to watch her daughter Lux, could I give her your number?” Louis asked and I said yes.

They explained to me about what happened with Zayn and showed me pictures of him now.

“So, your Calum Hood’s girlfriend?” They asked Scar.

She explained how they met, and how they’ve been dating for 5 ½ years.

“So, were all going shopping tomorrow? Well, me, Adyson, and Lou. Would you want to come Scar and Hadley?” Alyssa asked.

“I’m actually going to an interview with Calum tomorrow.” Scar stated.

“Um...yeah, yeah. I’d just have to find someone to watch Daisy.” I nodded.

“Well Harry could. He doesn't have anything to do.” Alyssa offered.

“Oh sorry. Babe would you want to watch Daisy?” She asked. I cringed when she called him babe. I used to call him babe. God thats wierd.

“Uh yeah, if that wouldn't be weird.” Harry shrugged.

“I want to help!” Liam suggested.

After dinner, I said my goodbyes, getting to Harry last.

“Do you have to leave so soon?” Alyssa asked.

“Yeah, Daisy needs to get in bed by 8.” I apologized.

“Okay, well, see you tomorrow.” She smiled, and I hugged Harry again.

“Maybe we can meet up later, if you want. After Daisy goes to bed?” He asked quietly, his head in my hair.

“Yeah, sure.” I smiled, and pulled away.

I picked up Daisy and SCar drove us home.

“That was fun, they're really nice.” SCar smiled and I nodded.

“So is he coming over tonight?” She asked.

“I guess, if he calls.” I shrugged, and we pulled in just as Harry texted me.

Harry: Can I come over?

I texted him back and said yes, and gave him the address.

“Ill just wait upstairs for Calum.” SCar smiled and left.

Harry knocked, and I opened the door.

“Hey. I wanted to explain...why I did what I did. Hopefully we can be friends, because it killed me to lose you for 3 years, and I dont want to lose you again.” He blurted, sitting on the couch.

I sat next to him.

“Okay. So why? Why didnt I get a call or something? We didn't even really breakup, you just kinda ignored me, and then I read the tabloids and it said you were dating my best friend.” I stated.

“I was so fucking stupid, I know that. I didnt want to hurt you. Tour is a big deal and I knew we couldn't last for a year if we weren't together.” He explained.

“But somehow you lasted for 3 years with Alyssa?”

“That’s completely different. We’ve been on and off for 3 years, because we always cheat on each other. I dont love her and she doesn't love me. We’ve established that, and have an open relationship.” Harry stated.

“If you don't love eachother then why not break up?” I asked.

“I dont know. Even though I don't love her, I still care about her.” He shrugged.

“But I know what I did was stupid, and I shoulda just broke it off with you. With your family, and whoever Daisy’s dad is...I feel like I missed a big part of your life and I hate that.” He said sympathetically.

You should hate that. You should hate that you missed out on seeing your daughter grow up.

I sighed and he continued.

“Im here now? Maybe not as your boyfriend this time. But as a friend. And I want to make it up to you. Do you still hate me?” He asked.

“I dont hate you Harry...I just wish you would've talked to me.

“Are you coming to my birthday party?” Our daughter asked.

I groaned.

It took me ten minutes to get her to bed.

She walked over to harry and he lifted her up, and put her on his lap.

“Isn't it past your bedtime?” He smiled and Daisy shrugged.

“So, are you coming?” She repeated.

He looked at me, for permission and I shrugged, telling him its his choice.

“When is it?” He asked looking at me.

“Saturday.” I answered.

“2 days!” Daisy exclaimed.

“I can definitely be there. Is it okay if I bring my girlfriend?” Harry asked.

Daisy scrunched her nose, “No.”

“Daisy, be nice.” I warned.

“No that’s okay. She might have to work on Saturday.” Harry smiled.

“I should go. I’ll see you guys tommorow.” He stated, and left.
