Callie's POV

We got a call from Anne today. It is June 8th.

"Hello?  I answer our new house phone. We texted the number to the boys, Gemma, my old friends, and Anne. Not Dad.

"Hey, Callie,"  Anne's voice says. I smile.

"Hi how are you?" I ask her.

"Fine, fine. I just wanted to know how you two were doing. Being safe right?" She asks.

"Well there isn't any of that going on but we are good. How is my father/" I ask hesitantly. He went do the hospital so hopefully they found what was wrong with him.

"Well, we found out that he can take medication to keep the anger down to a minimum. In the car accident, appearently, the frontal lobe of his brain was damaged, causing him to be a completely different person and his personality and feelings changed. Another symptom is bad decision making so that is probably why he abuses us. The nurse provided a prescription so he shouldn't be that bad anymore. We also got him to see a therapist twice a week. But you guys can stay up there as long as you want since we put so much money into it." Anne explains. Wow. THis was all from the crash?

"Will he ever not have to take medication?" I ask.

"The doctors don't know yet. They have to wait to see how severe this case really is." Anne says.

"Ok, well thank you for telling me. Would you like to talk to Harry?" I ask as Harry walks up behind me.

"Yes please," She says. "I love you Callie, be safe."

"I love you too and I will," I say before handing Harry the phone.

"Hey müm," He says. I escape to the kitchen to fix dinner. I make Lobster Mac & Cheese. Harry continues his work online as I cook. I am ahead of him on assignments so he is trying to catch up to me. I set the table and sit down with him.

"Cals, this is sooo good. Where did you learn this recipe?" Harry asks, chewing. I giggle.

"My mum taught me when I was 14," I reply, eating. It really is good if I do say so myself.

After dinner, Harry does the dishes and I finish today's work. I love online schooling. There is not a certain amout of time to have work done as long as it gets done within a 24 hour period.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Harry asks.

"Sure."

"Which one?"

"The Notebook,' I say. I know Harry likes that movie too so I choose it. He puts it in and pulls me into his lap on the couch. I stretch my legs and rest my head on his chest. He wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head.

"I love you," He says to me.

"I love you too," I say and reach up to kiss him. I resume my posotion and watch the movie.

I must have fallen asleep at some point because I wake up when Harry is carrying me to my room. He lays me down and starts to leave but I grab his arm

"Stay," I murmer. I see Harry smile and hop in beside me. He faces me and kisses my forehead. I smile as he starts to hum Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran. I have a flashback to the first day of school and this song comes on.

"You sing really good," Harry told me. I didn't know he was listening. My cheeks burn with a blush.

"Goodnight, Cals," Harry's voice brings me out of the flashback.

"Goodnight, Love you, Har", I mumble, so tired.

"I love you too. Sleep well." He says. He starts humming again which slowly turns into soft singing.

Give me love like her,
'cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love.

My eyes slowly drift closed.

Give me love like never before,
'cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya.

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
Give a little time to me, or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My my, my, my, oh give me love.

I feel sleep coming.

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover.

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover,
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (love me, love me, love me).

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love),
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love),
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love, love me),
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love).

My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

 And I am asleep. I am taken to a wonderful dream. Harry and I are married and living together in the house we have now but we share a room and we have 2 children, a boy and girl. I love the dream. I never want to wake up. But I do. Harry wakes me with a panicked look on his face. I shoot straight up and look at him.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Louis," He says and tears come. I hug him, trying to comfort him but he continues crying. I want to know what happened, but  I don't want to push it so I just hold him.
