"Yeah. Her name is Ava Jade styles. She was only three when you and I started talking- now she's ten." he told me as he got his phone out
"She looks more like her mom than she does me. She's got her mom's blonde hair." he chuckles as he gets his phone out and shows me a picture of a little girl.

"She's really cute" I whisper as I stare at the kid
"Yeah, thank you" he nodded and shut his phone off
"So.. did they? I mean, did they hurt her?"
"No." he shook his head and took a deep breath, "No, I sent her away.. with her mum"
"Wh-where?"
"Doncaster"
"My home tome?"
"Yeah.. that's why I'm here. I can see her now after.."
He paused and looked at Niall
"Everything, Harry"
"She'll leave" Harry almost whimpered as he spoke
"I won't. Not again- not this time" I promised as I grabbed his hand
"I.. I betrayed my team. The boss, I.. I killed him."
"We planned it." Niall butted in, "The boys and I were on the other team, supposed to be fighting Harry and the boss.. and.. Harry wanted to end it all. So.. we did."
I stared at Harry's hand in mine. This hand... took someone's life
"You said. you said you wouldn't l-leave" Harry whispered
"I won't" I whisper back, "I just can't.."
"I had to. For Ava. For the boys- for you, Honey"
"I know, Harry." I sighed, "I know that. it's still.. a lot to take in."
