Where's My Love

"If your scared, I'm on my way
Did you run away?
Did you run away?
I don't need to know."

She was gone. At least for now. She wanted space and time to think. She didn't want to hurt us which picked at me the most. She knew I was there to protect her, to protect Clem. She felt like a burden and I can't help but think it was my fault.

I look to my phone to see it vibrating on the counter. Between Clem crying and my thoughts running through my head a mile a minute I was surprised I was even hearing the vibrations.

I turn my screen over to see Noa's name flashing. I swiped right immediately hold the phone to my ear.

"Noa, baby, what's up?" I say rushed.

I didn't hear anything back, until I heard an angered voice. My first thought was the worst one. I was hoping I'd be wrong.

River.

"I fucking texted you, you slut! You really thought that was it? You would just move on with your life? Parent some fucking girl that isn't even yours? You desperate piece of shit! You can't even have kids what makes you think anyone would want to stay with you?" He yelled. It was muffled, but easy enough to make out. My breathe hitches, learning now why Noa loves kids so much. My emotions got the best of me, my hands turning into fists as he starts talking about Clem.

"D-Don't talk about her like that." She says. Her sweet voice so innocent.

"I can talk about anyone that way I fucking please. What about the little boyfriend of yours? Harry Styles it is? Really thought I wouldn't find out?" I heard skin to skin contact. That was when I had finally had it. I kept the phone call going as I rushed to her house.

"Baby, hey, I need to go someone very important. Please stay here, I will lock all doors so you're safe. Please just stay here for Daddy." I begged as she listened. I ran outside the door as fast as I could. I was going to find her.

I rushed to the first place I thought she'd be. Bea's house.

As I passed through the traffic lights in the city, I am met with a black mustang veering off to the corner. I was too late.

I ran inside to see her on the floor. My heart stopped. Everything in my body just stopped working. I crouched down beside her, my hands shaking with fear.

I stoked her cheek as I whispered sweet nothings to her to see if she was responsive. Parts of her lip were cut, with her right cheek having a red handprint on it. Her breathing was erratic, her hand on her stomach.

"H-Harry, I'm sorry. I t-thought I could do it." She said, her voice just above a whisper as her body shakes.

"Do what m'love? I'm here, everything is okay." I tell her, tears threatening to spill.

"Handle this, by myself. I didn't want you seeing this. T-this p-part of my li-ife." I shook my head, holding her body close to mine.

"Stop it. I said I love you, meaning I love every part of what is to come. And it means I'm here to protect you. I can't lose you okay? Move in with me. Please?" I begged. I knew it wasn't the right time but it just all came out without notice. I couldn't control it.
