Chasing Dreams

Chapter 21

Alyssa's POV

I opened Li and I's bedroom to see him crying while staring at a little stuffed bear that had a purple ribbon around it's neck. I walked in, shutting the door quietly behind me, and sat next to him, placing my hand on his shaking shoulder. "I'm sorry babe." I whispered gently. "I failed you." I took my hand away feeling ashamed. "I don't blame you Alyssa it wasn't in your control. "Did I do something wrong Liam?" I asked not wanting to hear the answer. "No baby, it wasn't you." He whispered in my ear wrapping his arms around me. "Maybe if I was more careful." I said ignoring his last sentence." A tear made it's way down my face. "Baby look at me." He demanded lightly. "It is NOT your fault. It happens to the best people." He wiped the tear away, but more fell fast from my eyes. "Liam our baby is dead, I had to do something!" I argued. "I'm so sorry Liam. I'm so so sorry. I'm a bad mother" I sobbed into my hands. "Hey we have Asher, look at him! Your not a bad mother love. It's not your fault sweetheart." Liam said rocking me back and forth tears falling from his face and onto my shoulder. "But I had a miscarriage, Liam!" I wailed. "I know honey, I know." He comforted. At that moment Asher walked in. "What's wrong?" He asked pouting. "Nothing baby we're ok." Liam reassured. "Come here Ash." I said calmly. He walked over and hugged me. "We love you very much. You know that right?" Asher nodded as I combed my fingers through his sandy blond hair. "Can we go get ice-cream? Uncle Niall says it makes everything better!" He smiled. "Sure buddy we'll meet you downstairs." Liam said. "Yay!!!!" He cheered.

Ivey's POV

"We're going to go get ice-cream, want to come?" Liam announced. "YES!!!" I shouted doing a fist pump. Everyone stared at me each giving me an odd look. "I mean ya... Ice cream... That's cool." I replied slowly sitting back on the couch. "To Baskin Robins we go!" Asher cheered pulling Alyssa and Liam down the stairs. I grinned and mouthed ice cream to Niall excitedly. He shook his head and took my hand leading me out the door.

*one uneventful car ride later*

We walked into the cold parlor and causing the little bell to ding letting the worker know that there are customers. I ran up to the glass case and pressed my hands on it looking at all the different flavors. "What are you getting?" Zayn asked amused. "I have no idea!" I breathed astonished. "What would you like babe?" I looked up to meet a tall brunet boy about our age with grey eyes and a smile on his face. He was wearing a blue apron over his grey t-shirt, his name tag read Kyle. "Well I would recommend cookie dough." He said smiling and putting the wash cloth he was using to wipe the counter over his shoulder. "Hmm what are you getting Niall?" I asked. "Well love," he started emphasizing love, "I'm going to get mint chocolate chip." I nodded. I looked up noticing the others had ordered already. "Ok I'll get the cookie dough please with gummy bears." I told Kyle. He nodded. "And do you want toppings on yours sir?" He asked grabbing the scoop. "No thanks and make them both cones please." Niall replied putting an arm around my waist shooting daggers at Kyle. Kyle handed us our cones chuckling. "£5 please." He asked, Niall handed him the money before taking my hand and pulling me to the table with the others.

Hayley's POV

I was talking to Harry when Liam leaped out of his chair, landing on his butt on the ground. "What happened?" I asked looking at Liam's terrified face. "Sp-sp-spoon." Liam muttered. "Mum why is he-" Asher started to ask. "Just go get him a fork sweetie." Alyssa replied. "But it's just a sp-" he tried again. "I know Ash just go ask for a fork, they might have one at the Nandos over there." She said patting his head. I laughed as Zayn helped Liam off the ground. "What's the matter Niall?" Harry asked since he hadn't spoken. "I didn't like that 'Kyle' kid." He grumbled. "Someone's jealous!!!!" I sing-songed. He just grumbled something and went back to his ice-cream. We ate in silence until Zayn broke it "Well I'm tuckered out ready to go?" We all nodded seeing as the sun was setting. Liam carried a tired Asher to his car with Alyssa holding his free hand. Zayn led the rest of us to the van and we headed home. "Hey are we still up for tomorrow?" Lou asked CeCe. She smiled and nodded. When we pulled up into the drive way we made our way inside and into our separate rooms. "Goodnight Hayley." Harry whispered. "Goodnight baby." He kissed my tummy before cuddling me into his chest. "Night Harry, I love you." I breathed closing my eyes. "Love you too love, and I'm sorry." He responded. "It's ok Haz I forgive you." I smiled letting sleep take over.

(A/N sorry CeCe for you not having a POV, but I have something planed :D)
