Use Somebody

Chapter 35:

Gemma's POV:

"Yeah, I'll pick up your mail and then I'll be right over with JJ. I'll meet you at your place you share with Louis." I say into the phone and trying to make JJ a sandwich.

"Ma, samwitch done?" JJ says from behind me pulling on my shirt.

"Almost baby." I say putting the sandwich together.

Harry was saying something about how he's so happy to have his cast off and was talking to Louis at the same time.

"Here baby. Go sit down at the table and I'll bring you some milk."  I tell JJ as he runs over to take a seat.

I hand him the sandwich and pour him some milk. I set it down on the table.

"Eat slow." I tell JJ like I do every time.

"Harry, I'll see you soon. JJ has to eat really quickly and then we'll be right there in about twenty minutes. Also, I have to show you the new ultrasound. The doctors said they might know the gender in a few more weeks and I can't wait. I'll see you soon, bye Hazza." I say and hang up the phone.

I sat down with JJ and watched him eat lunch. I wasn't going to eat anything since I had just finished throwing up from my morning sickness. He was dressed in an outfit Harry had got him for Christmas. It was a black scarf, orange and black striped shirt, black skinny jeans, and little brown Chelsea boots. If I'm being honest JJ looks more like Harry than me. The only proof I have is my name on his birth certificate. JJ's dad had left when he found out I was pregnant, so I was left a single mom. I refused to let JJ know about his dad we just told him that his daddy loves him, even though Harry and I knew it wasn't true. He took the first chance he could and he ran far away.

"Ma, all done." JJ informs me jumping down from his seat and going to wash his hands.

He runs to the sink and gets his step stool to wash his hands. His slightly curly hair gets in his way though. He dries his hands and then brings me a hair tie. I pull his hair into a tiny bun and lift him up.

"Ready?" I ask him.

He nods and smiles. JJ loves Harry so much, he takes every opportunity he can to see him. I strap him into the car seat and then start the drive to Harry's old apartment.

I enter the password onto the keypad and hold JJ's hand as we walk into the building. It never was the safest building but it was the only thing that Harry and Nick could afford. Especially since Nick didn't work and Harry had to pay for all of his OBGYN appointments. He paid all of the bills and was pregnant, Nick never helped with anything. He made Harry work, cook, clean, never let him do anything he wanted. I kept telling him to end it but he never did, he said he loved Nick. I never believed him and he finally found out when Nick killed William.

I grab the mail and look through it really quickly. There was a large manila envelope with 'URGENT!' marked across. I place that one on top and looked through the other things. There was a letter from Zayn, which I knew would contain pictures of his latest expedition. I was secretly in love with Zayn and I really wished that he would see that. Harry doesn't know it either, and I really want to keep it that way. I have loved Zayn since I met him, which was when Harry was in grade 7, Zayn was two years older than him and so that meant he was in grade 9, while I was in grade 8.

"Ma, let's go!" JJ exclaims jumping up and down.

He knew once we had collected the mail we would head to Harry. So he was more than excited to get back in the car. We were probably five minutes away from Louis's place.

I finished driving the rest of the way and opened the door and heard Harry saying something to Louis.

"I just don't know. I'm just tired really. It's probably from work." Harry said.

"Probably. Tonight though, I'll show the difference between work and working. Because you're always working but you never really work." Louis says.

"Oh, really?" Harry says with an excited edge on his voice.

"Yeah, I'll show you how to really work." Louis says.

I hear Harry moan and I knew that Louis had just done something to him.

"Hey guys, we're here." I announce so they know that JJ is hearing everything.

I hear a shuffle of clothes and notice JJ runs past me.

"Uncle Harry! Lou!" He yells as he runs to the living room.

I walk in after him and see JJ on Harry's lap and Louis looking at them. I see Harry's promise ring sitting on his finger. He was very happy that he found someone who did the little things for him. Like getting the promise ring.

"Here's the mail. There's something from Zayn."  I say.

Harry grabs the mail and searches for the one from Zayn. He rips it open and sure enough there are pictures. I recognize the pictures from somewhere. Harry sees the pictures and his face lights up.

"He's home!" Harry says.

"Zayn's home?" I say astonished.

Harry nods eagerly. He's been waiting for Zayn to get home. He shows Louis the letter and Louis acts surprised because I know he's never met Zayn.

"This." JJ says getting the big manila envelope.

He hands it to Louis and Louis opens it. His face drops as he takes out the contents of the package.  Harry realizes this and takes the envelope from him.

"No." Harry says.

"You guys need to leave. Right now." Louis says walking us to the door. "I'm sorry but this is important."

We get walked to the car and Louis makes sure that we drive off and don't come back.
