COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ||•c 13
ELEANOR'S POV

Harry took a seat beside Charles. Charlie on the other hand, looked at stared at Harry before raising her arms to let him carry her.

"Harry, Hi!" I stuttered. He smiled at me.

I know he's still confused. Who wouldn't be? I sighed and looked at Matt sadly. He carried a tray with some cookies and lemon juice. Then he went back to get Charles and Charlie's milk.

Yes, I have twins.

"This is Charlotte Louise," I smiled at him. He didn't look at me. He just smiled at Charlie. "But I call him Charlie."

"These twins are yours?" he asked and I nodded even though he's not looking at me.

"That's Louis Charles," I continued. Charles' first name burned in my throat and I coughed a little.

"Louis and yours?"

"Yes," I smiled sadly.

Louis will never know about this. I am leaving him with his own decisions. He may not believe me, I can manage. I don't want to tell him about Charles and Charlie anyway. He's in the limelight, I need my kids to be safe. I want them to have a quiet, peaceful and normal life.

Silence. No one spoke. Not even Matt who's feeding Charles on his lap.

"I uhmm. Harry.." I started and already feel the warm drops on my cheeks. "Please .."

"It's alright, I forgive you.." Harry said and turned his head to look at me slowly. He forgives me? "I know you didn't do it."

I smiled and hugged him. Charlie whimpered in between us and I laughed before getting her from his lap.

"Eleanor is you name?" he asked.

I nodded with a smile before feeding Charlie. "Eleanor Jane."

Awkward. Matt stood up with Charles already sleeping in his arms. He faked a cough and I gave Charlie to him. He left, knowing that Harry and I should have a talk.

"Sophia and Liam are engaged," he said trying to ease the awkwardness in the air.

I chuckled and nodded. Of course I know they are engaged. Sophia called me three months ago after Liam proposed to him at France.

"So how are you?" I asked him and played with my fingers. I am so nervous. I don't want to make any mistake.

"I'm okay," Harry said and played with my kids. He's okay? I smiled and relief washes over me.

Silence. Again.

I don't know what to say anymore. My heart flutters at the sight of him playing with my kids. With Louis and I's kids.

I left them for so long without any notice. I left Harry, my best friend, who I know I can turn to. I know he can understand me, I know he can. I still feel terrible for not talking to him for almost 2 years.

"Do you have any plans?" Harry asked out of the blue. I stayed silent, confused. Is he talking about Sophia and Liam's marriage?

"Do you have any plans?" he repeats and look at me. "You know.. With Louis."

I shook my head and stood up. I grabbed a cookie. I went inside my room to get Charles a new shirt since he spilled his milk.

"But..."

"He will never understand, Harry," I say as I find myself lost in Charles blue eyes. The blue eyes that will always remind me about how Louis looked like. How Louis suppose to look at me.
