Marley's P.O.V

"So you're leaving?" I asked after minutes of silence.

"Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it either." She said, her head bowed as she played with her fingers.

"What do you mean? How can you be happy about going back to Joe?!" I shouted, surprising me and Helena with my sudden outburst.

"Harry's using me." She snapped back.

"What? That makes no sense." I shook my head at her, disgusted how she could accuse Harry of that.

"He doesn't like me, he's scared I'll take off with Lilly. That's the only reason he's with me! He used me last night for sex, I don't want to be that kind of girl." She cried.

Even though she was planning to take away the thing that made Harry happy in his life away, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. Helena would have to go back to Joe. While Harry would just miss Lilly. Helena came off worse, and there was nothing I could do to help.

"I'm going to miss everybody, especially..." Her sentence stopped short as somebody barged through the door.

"Lou?" I asked. Why was just Louis here?

"Oh there you are Helena..." His eyes lit up as he saw her. A few seconds later his head snapped into my direction, his eyes widening at the same time.

"YOU'RE AWAKE?!" He yelled in a girly voice making my ears hurt.

"Yeah I am, now what do you want?" I sounded really hostile, but I wanted to know what Helena was going to say.

"The boys were having a massive go at me, I was just going to come in here and talk to you.. Of course I didn't expect a reply because I thought you were still ... asleep?" He said nervously, probably taken back from my anger.

I saw his eyes flicker down to Helena who was staring at him intently, her eyes sparking...

"Helena, why don't you head home. Spend some time with Lilly yeah?" I told her.

"But-" She started to say until Louis cut her off.

"Marley's right, I'm sure Lilly misses you right now." His eyes never left hers.

"Nobody asked your opinion." She spat back before getting up, giving me a half smile and leaving.

"That was tense.." Louis said while watching her go.

"You like her don't you?" I straight out asked, no point dawdling.

"What? No.. No I don't.." He lied.

I knew when Louis was lying as he looked down to the ground and started to play with his fingers. It was also obvious he was lying as when he thought of Helena a massive grin stretched onto his face.

"She has a kid Louis." I said, giving him a look.

"Yeah, and? I love children. Especially Lilly." He argued back.

"She has a boyfriend." I said without thinking, she wouldn't want anybody to know about Joe, did Louis notice the bruises on her skin when he walked in?

"What?! But she slept with Harry last night!" He shouted, shocked.

"It's her decision what she does Lou, I'm just saying, either tell her how you feel or move on." I said sternly.

"I can't just 'move on' Marls. It's more then just a crush, much more." He fell back onto the chair Helena was recently occupying and shut his eyes.

"Do you love her?" I asked slowly.

"Yes, more then anybody i've ever met. That's the problem with me. I fall to easy, crash too hard, forgive too easy and care too much."

"Just be careful Lou, I don't want to see you get hurt." His eyes were still squeezed shut.

"Do you remember when me, you, Zayn and Helena went to this cinema in Year 10? Before Harry got together with Helena and you and Zayn were still best mates because you were going out with Joe Beckinsale?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was the night Joe attacked me." A tear fell down my face remember the night for the second time today.

Louis and the boys knew what Joe did to me, it was Zayn who was the one who found me. He knew all about mine and Joe's hideout, and when I didn't answer his texts or calls, he decided to come look for me. Luckily they found me passed out in the house before Joe came back.

"Before that, we went to see a cheesy romantic film. I had planned to make a move on Helena that night, but I wimped out. It was that night that Harry asked her out. The night I officially lost her."

He opened up his eyes and stared at me.

"I really love her Marley, I just don't know what to do." Louis got up out of the chair and laid next to me on my bed, leaning on my chest while tears flowed uncontrollably out of his eyes.

"Tell her, but just be careful Lou. Because somewhere, somebody wont approve."

And that's when my body gave in, sending me back into a deep sleep.

Harry's P.O.V

You're going to be a shining star, fancy car, fancy cars...

Rihanna and T.I's song Live Your Life started to blast through my phone waking me up from my nap. Liam, Niall and Zayn had gone out shopping and Louis had left to look for Helena. Lilly was fast asleep in her cot so I decided to take a nap seeing as there was nothing else to do.

Making my way to Lilly's cot, I stopped in my tracks when I realised it was empty. Panic erupted from my body as I started to run around the apartment looking for her. I bolted into her room where her clothes and toys were being kept only to be shocked once again as the whole room seemed to be empty, the wardrobes and draws open no longer having clothes in them. Lilly's toy box now was only half full.

I slowly walked back into the hallway, and was about to walk into the kitchen/living room when a envelope stuck to the door caught my attention.

On the front, it said.

To whoever find this first.

I could instantly tell it was Helena's writing, I ripped it open and there were 5 letters in it, each one having a different name on it. I flicked through them until I found mine, it was the longest.


Dear Harry.

I know this may feel like history is repeating itself, me writing you another letter. All I can say is thank-you and sorry. Thank you for being there for Lilly, even if it was only for two days. I can tell she's happier. It feels like I used you. It feels like I dumped Lilly on you for two days while I took a break, but you have to understand it was much more then that. I can't tell you what's happening right now, but I can tell you that you won't see me or Lilly again. It's for the best Harry, it may not seem like it. I just don't want you to be dragged into this mess I'm in. It pains me to think you used me last night, I know you don't still love me. You love Lilly and wanted her to stay, I'm not sure I'm in love with you anymore. I guess a little part of me will always love you as you were my first love. I'm starting again with Lilly, I don't think I'll ever be as happy as I was in the past day, as much as I would love to stay with you and try to make it work, I have no choice. I want to tell you why, but I'm scared of the results.

I'm sorry for everything I ever caused you Harry.

Helena x

There were tear marks on the paper from both me and her. She had took my world away from me again. Yet this time, I don't think she wanted to. Through out the letter, she was telling me how she has no choice but to leave, but why? Why did she have to take my daughter with her?

Why?
