When Niall and I arrived at Harry’s we inspected the damage to his car which was actually pretty bad, so I was thankful that they were both alright. When Harry opened the door he looked exhausted but William looked well rested and he was delighted to see Niall and I. “You look wonderful,” I chirp as I walk in to the house and take the baby from Harry.
Niall chuckles and follows me in to the house after an awkward hello with Harry. “He woke up just after we got home and cried for a little while, so I gave him some of the medicine and it knocked him out but I was worried that I made him sick so I stayed up all night to watch him.” Harry says as he closes the front door and follows us in to the house.
“Well you can catch up on your sleep when we go, do you still want to talk to me?” I ask him curiously. He glances at Niall and then back to me and nods his head. He waits for me to give the baby to Niall and leads me outside to the backyard where we sit on the edge of the veranda. “So what is it?” I ask.
I try to be civil to Harry considering I’m going to have to put up with him for the rest of my life, he’s my baby’s dad. “I know about you and Niall.” My eyes widen a little and he’s looking down at the grass.
“What do you mean you know?” I ask slowly, maybe he thinks he knows.
“Olly told me,” He murmurs.
“How do you know he’s telling the truth?”
“It’s obvious Jessamine, we’ve been apart for nearly two and a half weeks and you’re happier than you’ve been in months. Niall kissed you right in front of me yesterday and every time I mention it you get really defensive…” He sighs and continues to look down and even though I keep telling myself that I don’t care, I kind of do. “It’s like you just forgot about me. You never gave me a chance to make it up to you,” He croaks. I know he’s upset he can’t he even look at me.
“Harry that’s not fair, I gave you chance after chance and you went and cheated on me with Caroline twice, you flirt with my friends and then you started a secret relationship with Niall’s girlfriend. No offense or anything but I honestly don’t think you deserve to make it up to me.” I say and look down at the grass as well. I’m going to castrate Olly when I see him next, I feel like the reason he came over yesterday was to tell us that maybe he slipped up but he didn’t end up saying anything.
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the last three years and betraying you was one of them but I am so fucking sorry. Please can’t we work something out?” He breathes. I know he’s crying, he won’t look up at me and his voice hoarse and keeps cracking.
