Finding My Real Family

part 3: forgiveness

I always had trouble forgiving people. I guess I have my brother to blame for that. I would forgive him for the shit he put us thru, then he would do it all again. Making everything worse. This is why I started to bottle everything up inside. 

Zak knew better then to try and bother me after what just happened. His poor roommate, Daniel, got the front of my anger though. He was confused and all he did was ask what happened and where Zak was. I then may have thrown a few things at him, just for talking to me. Like I said I had anger issues.

The next morning I woke up remembering everything that had happened. I quickly got up and apologized to Daniel. Then Zak asked, "Hey, how are you doing with everything that happened yesterday?"

I took a deep breath, "Still processing." It also took me awhile to come to terms with most things. Especially big things like this. I mean my entire life was just flipped upside down. 

There was a knock on the door. Daniel answered the door and was a little taken aback seeing who it was. Daniel was in a band, Why Don't We. Yes I know, why didn't I come here in the first place instead of Jordan's. Simply because I didn't really get along with a few of the band members and they were always over here. I wouldn't have been able to get a break. Zach, he's the most annoying. Every time I would ask Zak for something Zach would respond. Its not like he could have gotten confused, he knows I wouldn't ask him for a ride to the store.

"Louis Tomlinson! sorry, just a little shocked. I was not expecting anybody, let alone you." Daniel was having a little bit of a fangirl moment. I couldn't help but laugh at that. One Direction was kind of the bands inspiration, but also not at the same time. Daniel yelled for me to come to the door because he knew I was a fan of Louis.

"Listen kid, I know you probably don't like me that much right now, but can I at least explain why we did what we did." Louis said as he followed me into the living room. His accent was very  thick, yet I understood him easily.

"Start talking" I said with nothing, but annoyance in my tone. It was 9:30 and I just woke up. I am not a morning person.

"Larry Stylinson. You heard of that?" I simple nodded at the question. "ok good. Well simply put," he takes a deep breath before continuing, "It was real. So technically Harry is your other dad." I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I mean of course I knew, but now I had confirmation.

"How the hell is that even possible?" I couldn't rap my mind around it. There were so many questions and "how" was the first of many.

"You might wanna get comfortable before I start this." he pauses for a few moments, "We were ready to have a kid. we had started the process of finding a surrogate. Someone to give birth to a baby that could have both of our DNA. We had found one, but we kept it from management until you were born and we had to. When we told them, you were ripped out of our arms. we couldn't find you anywhere, until we realized that management went through the trouble of changing your name and changing your birth certificate." He paused. I was shocked again. Now I felt terrible for treating him the way I did. "Your necklace, that you changed into a bracelet and your birthmark were the only things we had to use to try and find you. We searched for years, until we found you. You were in a happy home, you had a great life, and good parents and friends. We didn't want to take you from that. That was when me and Harry split up, I wanted to tell you or at least reach out to your family, but Harry thought it would be best to let you continue to live your life the way you were." 

I felt a tear coming. I quickly wiped it away, refusing to show my emotions. Zak was right by my side. I looked at him, I could tell he was shocked too. I got up, walked to the fridge and grabbed 2 beers out of the fridge. I handed one to Louis and opened the other for myself. I could see Zak wanting to protest, but he knew it wouldn't go anywhere. Louis couldn't help, but smile and then laugh. "You are so my daughter" He said in between laughs.

"Does this mean I get to meet Harry too, cause I know you called someone last night, which I assume was him." I asked as he tried to stop laughing.

"Yes, he hopped on the next plane here immediately. He is so excited to meet you." He says this with a smile on his face. As he takes a sip of his beer he gets a phone call. I glanced at the contact name, and smiled as I read 'Haz❤️' before he picked up his phone. He quickly answered and walked out of the room for some privacy. He came back in the room to tell us he would be right back as he set his drink down. 

"Well I'm gonna invite the guys over for a little, we have to finish this song before we forget about it." Daniel told us. I immediately rolled my eyes. "Just watch. You are gonna end up falling for one of them." I wanted to vomit cause I knew he was talking about Zach. 

"No. No she will not!" I heard Zak yell from the other room. Maybe I should have came here first instead. These people always know how to make me laugh and smile when I need it most.

A few minutes had passed when Louis came back with another guy, who I could tell was Harry from his voice asking, "Where is she? OMG I'm so excited." I obviously laughed at that. No one was ever excited to see me before. 

Louis led Harry to the living room where me and Zak still were. Daniel had gone to his room to call the band. I was slowly finishing my drink as they walked in. I knew I would not be able to convince Zak to let me have another. Protective much, I thought annoyed.

I had just set my drink down as Harry pulled me into this huge massive hug. I surprisingly immediately felt safe. No one except Zak and Jordan had ever been able to make me feel safe. I already knew he gave the best hugs. "Sorry about him. He is a little emotional." He said laughing seeing my face.

"Family group hug!" Harry yelled. I couldn't help but laugh as he pulled Louis and I into this massive group hug. 

A/N: wow that was a lot of information. I know having a Zak and a Zach in the story is gonna get confusing, but I just thought of including the band in the story and this is the best way I could think of how to do it.
