"I don't know why you bother Harry, god you're such a jerk. Coming around and pretending that you care when you only care about yourself." I was shocked to hear such words coming from Taylor's mouth but instead of leaving I did the one thing I should have done years ago. I stayed. Stepping forward I spoke once more. "Taylor I'm really sorry but I loved you then and I love you now and you know it's true." She looked at me blankly and then spoke.
"It's not true. It never is and it never was." I went to speak but she carried on. "Do you know how many nights I spent crying over you? Hmm or how I couldn't get over you. Our relationship has ruined any other relationship I could ever hope to have. You ruined us and you ruined me." I went to speak again but remembered that we were backstage of the Billboard Music Awards and I didn't really have the right to speak anymore. Instead I watched her turn and walk away. Things were certainly different than they had been two years ago. Shaking my head I walked away and found my seat next to the boys.

"How are we boys?" I asked sitting down with a thump and I received a chorus of 'good mate, you?' I nodded. "I'm all good. You know it." They nodded at me and we stayed quiet the rest of the evening. We received a few awards that night but honestly the only thing that I remember is watching Taylor receive eight awards and have another man hanging off her arm. "Man, T-Swift certainly powers through the men eh Harry?" I follow the voice to Liam and shake my head. "Na I ran into her before this started. It's fake. Management's idea..." He looked at me and apologised. "No worries Liam."
"Well at least you know what that's like." He mused as he turned back to the show. I nodded and thought back to my relationship after Taylor. Kendall Jenner. It had all been a publicity stunt not that anyone cared how we felt. It was money making.

We watched the show the rest of the evening and received three awards. It was amazing. I loved coming here to America. As we were leaving the boys said. "Wanna hit an after party Harry?" I shook my head and they said okay. But just as we went to leave Taylor rushed past us talking on her phone. "Well what did the doctor say mom, is she okay..." She paused not even three feet from me and spoke the next words carefully. "God, she's only six months old." That was when I really listened but I didn't catch more. Probably just a fan. The boys all looked at me and sighed. "What?" I questioned.
"Nothing Harry." They spoke and as they said that Taylor turned and looked at me as she spoke the next words. "Okay well I'll pick her up tomorrow mom, yeah I love you too. Give her a kiss for me." I looked into her eyes and saw fear, but fear from what. Me. I hope not. God I love her. The outfit she is wearing makes it more difficult as I try to contain anger. "Taylor..." someone calls and I turn to see her date moving towards her. "You alright?" I clench my hands as she speaks. "Yeah that was my mom, Hazel has a fever but she's okay." I watch him breathe a sigh of relief. "That's good and she's with you mom so she will be okay, right?" Taylor nods and her driver pulls up. Before she steps inside she turns and looks at me. "After-party at Ed's. You guys should come." I nod as I glace to the boys. "We'll be there Swifty," Louis calls from behind me.

That's exactly where I find myself a few hours later. Sitting in Ed's L.A house nursing my first beer because I'm so hung up over Taylor and Calvin. "Lighten up Harry." Niall calls at me and I turn to face him. "I can't Nialler, she moved on. Has a baby and everything." He rolls his eyes at me. "Harry, her baby is six months old you figure out the dates and tell me who the father of that baby is." I blank and stare at him. He's right. If Taylor's baby is six months old then she gave birth September last year which means she was pregnant in January and we broke up in February after several 'Friends with Benefit' sessions. A look crosses my face and Niall smirks. "Oh you figured it out." I nod furiously.
"Where is she?" I question and Niall points to a solitary figure outside by Ed's pool on her phone. I thank Niall and walk out to her. Hearing the end of her call. "...I can't Karlie and you know that." I smirk as she hangs up after saying goodbye.
"How's my daughter Swift?" I question as her eyes grow large.
"How do you?" I look at her and see the fear in her eyes once more.
"Taylor, you spoke about her on the phone. Six months old. Niall taught me how to do math." I watch her breathe deeply and then sit down. "I tried to call you Harry, you never answered. I tried so often but you never picked up." I felt like a huge jerk as I watched her begin to cry. "When did you find out?"
"A few weeks after we ended it all. It was Karlie's fault really but then I went into hiding and had her in September. September 7th. She was so beautiful..." I listened to her speak but felt bad, if I had of answered her calls I would have known about my daughter. I hugged her to me and felt her shiver in my arms. Leaning down to peck her forehead I whispered, "I love you and I always have." She pulls away her blue eyes glistening with tears. "I know, I love you too." We were silent for a minute. "Do you want to meet her?" I nodded my head and she stood to leave but I stayed. "What's wrong?" she questioned, rubbing her hands on her arms to stay warm. "Will you be my girl again?" I question looking at her. A shy smile pokes out as she nods. I grin and stand and wrap her in my arms. "You should wear more clothes babe, its cold out." She smiles and leans in but I beat her to it as I press her lips against mine. "I love you." I state, she smiles. "I love you too Harry."
