Love in a Photograph
Protecting
After and exhausting couple weeks I don't know why Hayley isn't telling me the truth but now I am heading over to demand answers.
I park my car in the familiar driveway of my old house, old memories of Hayley and I coming flooding back. As a happy married couple short lived by a dark time in our life that lead us to separate. I always swore that I would never be like my parents or hers but some things are inevitable.
I bang on the front door, "Harry dear" I turn to see my old neighbour. "She's at her gallery" I smile and wave "Thank you Mrs Pots." I get in my car and drive, I have never been here before so I get the address from Louis. I was supposed to be there on her opening night but she signed the papers, I regret it everyday I always said I would be there no matter what, and I failed at that.
I walk in and admire all the beautiful photos and paintings, I knew she would get here one day I hear music so I follow it, I see her painting this place is so much bigger than when we were young in her house, I remember back when we would stay awake all hours and she would paint and I just watched and admired her beauty and talent. I see her dancing along to of course Taylor Swift 'I knew you were trouble.'
"Shame on me nowwwww" She sings out loud and I smile. It reminds me when I saw her dancing to 'You belong with me' the night I confesses my true feelings and we began our amazing journey.
"Oh what are you doing here?" she asks turning down the radio. "We need to talk properly Hayley." I lean my arm against the door. "Why were divorced, all the talking is done."
I come in closer. "Hayley I have stood by you non stop until it was time to let go of our baby boy. I know and notice when your pregnant." She accidentally spills her paint on the floor.
"I ,I -----"
"Yea I know." I firmly say. "Yea well" she sits on a chair.
"Were you ever going to tell me?" I take a seat next to her. "This whole situation is messed up" She covers her face with her hands.
"Harry your a real idiot you know that" Louis yells at me and hits me over the head with something. He sits next to me on the couch and hands some papers to me.
"Why are you giving me my divorce papers?" I ask in frustration. "Did you see where she signed? I look at him and open to the tab where she signed and instead of her signature.
I love you.........
I look at her cursive writing and those three words and I will not stop feeling them for her, I have been a massive dick to her, this whole divorce thing why would I? Now she is carrying my child something we have lost but will be a catalyst for us now.
"Like I said it's not to late." Louis takes the papers out of my hands and I run to my car. I speed down the road, lucky the house is only down the road.
I see no car in the driveway but her car isn't here, maybe she's still at her gallery. So I drive their again again lucky it's up the road from her\ our hold house. I decide to call her first.
"Harry" she answers. "Hayley where are you I'm coming to get you and never let you go ever again" I preach. "I'm driving to your house now" She laughs. I miss her laugh, no wait I miss everything about her. I miss her.
I spin the car around with the phone still leaning against my ear. "Wait there I'll come get you."
"No I'll come to the gallery." She argues, gosh I miss this.
"No please I'm coming to you" I drop the phone but I don't bother to get it my focus is on this road, the road to my wife.
I am driving and spot another range rover and I see her. I pull over as she does too. We both run out of the car together and run to each other, I see her and hug her so tightly.
"I'm never letting you go ever, ever again" I whisper through her hair, we pull out of our embrace and kiss each other, which we haven't done in long painful months.
"Were all in now ok" I break our kiss and she nods her head, "I love you so much." She wraps her hands around my neck and we continue to kiss.
2 months later:
"I will always nurture, love, encourage, support and protect you no matter what." I conclude my vows.
"Harry I love you so much, I know we have gotten over so many hurdles, and I know there will be much more in the future. I want you to be my side to help me get over them, whatever comes our way we will face together, all three of us" she looks down to her stomach.
El and Louis basically gave the same vows to each other, just how they are both so funny and love living life on the edge and being mischievous.
"WEW to our double wedding." Louis, El, Hayley and I all raise our glasses. Of course Hayley has orange juice in hers. We just got remarried
"We have the same wedding anniversary now" Hayley happily smiles, leaning her head on my shoulder. "Hows a little guy doing" I put my hand on her pregnant stomach. She places her hand over mine. "good, i think were a bit tired though"
Being pregnant this time round I make sure she does nothing, I even wasn't sure if we should of gotten married today, not because I didn't to but because I want her to be careful.
"Congrats again guys" We say goodbye to Liam and Niall and Zayn, he is the same age as us, and he is great musician and has become a good friend to us boys.
"Let's get us home." I pick her up bridal style literally and take her home.
"Anything you need,?" I ask her as lie her down on the bed. Taking her shoes off and I move next to her and unzip her dress. "I want my husband next to me, please" she smiles and I lay next to her snuggling her under the sheets.
"I love you" I kiss her temple. "I love you too Harry."
I slowly drift off to sleep with my wife, my hands overs her stomach protecting our unborn child.
great story! Keep writing!
