The smart girl falls for him.. that one frat boy that everyone falls for. But she's different. She's smart. She doesn't attend the parties. She doesn't skip class. But when he moved to LA with some friends, he caught everyone's attention with his lo...
Not long after that conversation, the two fell asleep in the bed. They were silent for a while, they just looked at each other, admired each other, and processed the information they had learned..
But in the morning, they were woke up by Claire's phone going crazy
She sat up from Harry's chest quickly and seen that it was her mom calling
Immediately she texted Callum

She called her mom back and out her hand over Harry's mouth, keeping him quiet as he yawned obnoxiously
"CLAIRE REBECCA DAVIS! Where are you?! It is 10am and you are not in your bed!"
"I'm at Callum's, mom! I told you I needed the tutoring"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving?"
"I did! Yesterday! You just never listen, you're so wrapped up in work and Max and Grandma Phillas, you don't listen to me!"
"Oh, honey.. I'm-"
"no, mom. Not this time. I've gotta go. I'll be home tonight."
She hung up and tossed her phone down, feeling incredibly guilty
"Hey.. Hey, you okay?"
"No. I'm not. I'm lying to my mom, having my friends cover me, skipping class, drinking alcohol at parties, sneaking out... fuck, what's happening?"
"You're a teenager. You're meant to do shit like this. Your mom did. My mom did. I'm sure your grandma did back in 'the disco days'. And your brother will. It's okay."
She stared at him.. and tried to picture what his daughter would be like..
"You have a daughter" she whispered
He sighed and nodded
"Do you... see her?"
"Yes, I do. I also help pay child support and buy her nice things. I didn't walk out."
"No, I never expected that. You're a dick, but you're not an idiot"
He nodded slowly then whispered, "Thank you"
She pulled him in, pecked his lips, then asked, "Do you have a picture?"
"From when she was 4 months old, yeah.. but I haven't seen her in a while.. When I moved down here... things got tough"
He grabbed his phone and swiped through his gallery of party pictures until he landed on a photo of his little girl

"What's her name?" Claire asked as she took the phone and zoomed in a little, admiring the soft resemblances the little girl has to Harry
"Delilah Jean Styles"
"She does have your last name, then"
"Yep.. I chose Delilah aswell. Her mother chose the middle name"
"Why Delilah? It's beautiful, just wondering the reason.."
"It means Delicate in Arabic.. she was almost a month early when her mother gave birth.. and she was very fragile and small and...delicate."
"That's beautiful, Harry.. congratulations"
"Thank you.. it doesn't... it doesn't bother you? That I have a kid, I mean"
"no, not at all.. I think you'd be an amazing father. and.. well, I'm sorry that moving to AMerica has made so many complications for you"
