Keeping It Together [Harry Styles] Book 2

15

-Olivia-

A few days later me and Sophia head over to Central Park because Delia wanted too. Delia and Taylor looked very similar actually. Delia's hair was starting to get very blonde and Taylor's was already very light. They both had very chubby cheeks. They could've been twins. The only difference was that Delia's hair was curly. They were so cute together. "So Liam and were thinking on a small wedding with just the guys and our families."

"I think that would be beautiful."

"So how are things with you and Harry?"

I frowned. "Good. But we fought this morning though."

She questioned me. "About what?" I shrugged. "Don't remember. It just turned into a screaming match. I had to get out of there."

"Oh god, that stinks Olivia."

"I wish we could just go back to normal..."

"There is no normal honey." We both laughed. "Isn't that the truth? I mean I literally don't remember the last time I felt like we were 100% working together on raising the kids, and helping each other out and I don't know..."

I sighed and leaned my head on her shoulder. "I know sweetie. Are you excited for the tour?"

"Yeah I'm really excited, but I'm nervous to be honest."

"You know, I tell this to the boys every time before they leave. Everything's going to work out ok?"

"I gotta love you Soph." I hugged her and she squeezed me tightly.

"C'mon lets go meet up with Heather and Perrie." Alice texted me a few hours ago and said we could drop off the kids at her office and they could play so us girls could have some time together so we dropped them off and I thanked her.

"So, Heather tell us about you! I feel like we're all strangers to you." Perrie leaned forward.

"Well I'm a tour director. I'm pretty sure you all know I'm 22....and I have one younger sister who's only 15."

"Where did you meet Niall?"

She turned to look at me and smiled small. "I met him at the hospital in London..."

The girls were all confused. "Harry and I were fighting so I asked Niall to come with me to the hospital when my dad wasn't doing well." I brushed it off. "Why were you in the hospital?"

"Oh, I had a severe allergic reaction and I kinda flipped out. My friend was visiting me in London so she brought me and then I ran into Nialler." We all 'awed' and she smiled.

***************

I walked back to the hotel and grabbed my guitar but a hand stopped me. "Can we talk?"

"Don't feel like it, but fine." I sat down on the couch. "What?"

"I was an ass Liv." Before he could continue, I interrupted him. "Yeah, you were. You yelled at me when I just asked a simple question. Then you yelled at Delia. Like what the hell Harry?"

"I've just been stressed."

"That's not a damn excuse to yell at me!"

"I know and I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't cut it Styles." He hated when I did that. "You know damn right I hate that."

"Sorry Styles." I glared at him and his jaw clenched.

I stood up and gave him a death stare. "You can't just apologize and think everything's gonna go back to when we first started dating."

I cupped his cheek and then felt a tear forming in my eye. "If you want a divorce....just tell me." I closed my eyes and stayed like that for a second. I slipped out and went outside to wait for my uber. Harry followed me. "Wait Liv!"

"Harry not now. I don't wanna talk...about this...right here." I was sniffling and he grabbed my hands. "Stop it Harry!!"

Paparazzi started to crowd and I pushed him off of me. "Get off."

He looked hopeless. I pushed a few people out of my way and they tried to get me to comment. Before slipping into the uber and shutting the door I looked down and saw that Harry was trying to get the, away from the car. I turned and in my coldest voice I yelled. "Leave us alone!"

I picked up Delia and Theo at Alice's office at the same time that Zayn was there to pick up Alec and Willow. "Mummy!!" Delia ran over to me.

"Hey Livia, are you alright?"

I shook my head no. "Harry and I had a fight this morning and then he just followed me outside as I was leaving to come here so that's definitely going to be in the news. I'm just....a mess."

He made a face. "That sucks. Sorry to hear." He hugged me and then I saw Perrie walking over and was smiling like always. "Hey Livia! Oh no." She saw Zayn hugging me. "Harry?"

She made a face and I nodded. "Oh.....come'ere." She hugged me and I just felt tired. "I don't know what to do anymore!"

"I know...I know...." She held onto me and I her, until I collected myself. "I'll call you later if anything happens." She nodded and then we both left with the kids. I held onto Theo's car seat with one hand and held Delia's hand with the other. As if on clockwork the paparazzi started crowding.

"Care to tell us why...." "Are you and Harry...." "Is there something...." It's the same old shit but a different day.

"Excuse me...sorry...please move!" I pushed past most of them when I heard Delia. "The lights hurt my eyes." I looked down at her. "I know sweetie." I felt someone tug her and I felt panicked. "Can you tell me if mommy and daddy fight a lot?" I looked at the man with fury behind my stare. "Get off of my daughter you creep!"

I pulled her into my jacket and she looked confused. Once we got inside I broke down and sat on the steps. "I can't do this alone Harry." I knew he wasn't there but I couldn't help but be stressed. Being surrounded by paparazzi all the time and having to protect two kids at all times are not hard jobs, but having to do them at the same time kills me. "Mummy, why are crying....."

I barely heard her until she spoke up again and shook my shoulder. "Mumma, daddy's upstairs. In the hotel room." I nodded. "I know."

"Let's go! He's waiting for us!" I stood up and walked up the steps to see Harry crying. "Daddy! What's wrong!"

"Harry.....?" I whispered. He looked up and dried his tears. "I'm fine Delia see? All better!"

He offered me a weak smile and I returned one. "Why were you cr-crying?" Delia said struggling with her words as she did. "No reason. I'm alright, why don't you go get ready for bedtime and I'll be right there to tuck you in, ok?" She smiled and nodded.

"I'll be there really soon Lia ok?"

"Ok mummy." She waddled into her room and I turned to Harry.

"What happened to you?"

"All these tweets I've been getting are about us...splitting up." He gave me his phone and I saw a video that was named "10 Reasons We Think The Styles' Family Won't Stick Around? Are you for real?" He told me to watch it and I started crying.

"We're falling apart Liv..."

"I can't lose you Harry. I need you." He held me close and smiled into my hair. "I love you."

"I love you too."
