Chapter 16-

HARRYS POV

"I think Daddy's dead" Lily says quietly.

Suddenly I feel awful, no wonder Cheri doesn't like talking about who Lily's dad is.

"I'm sorry Lily" I whisper but Lily's not paying attention anymore.

"Louisssss" she yells then she charges off to the kitchen, forgetting her conversation she was supposed to be having with me.

"Lilyyy!" Louis yells back.

I had already explained to Louis about the pipe situation and he'd been happy enough to let Cheri and Lily stay over for a few days. I turn round to see Cheri peering out of the bedroom door.

"Did you hear all of that?" I ask.

She nods stiffly, not looking me in the eyes.

"Cheri, I'm sorry. I didn't know that-"

She interrupts me "He's not dead, Harry".

I look at her confused "Why would Lily say he's dead then?"

Cheri shrug "I have no idea, she doesn't even know who her dad is"

"Why can't you just tell her?" I ask

"Because it's not that simple" Cheri says sighing then she walks off.

I look at her frustrated. What is she trying to hide?

She should know better since I'm going to find out sooner or later.

CHERI'S POV

I wish Harry would just drop the subject and leave it, why do we always end up discussing who Lily's dad is.

I march off to the kitchen to find Louis feeding Lily bits of toast. I sit down next to the kitchen counter.

"Hey Cheri, I called a babysitter later for Lily" say Louis cheerfully.

"What, why?" I say raising an eyebrow.

"You, me and the rest of the boys are going out clubbing, did Harry not tell you?" asks Louis confused.

"Uh no, who said I'm going?"

"Pleaseee Cheri, you have to come. When was the last time you went clubbing?" pleads Louis.

"Like.... never" I say slowly.

The truth was I'd never been clubbing, I didn't go when I was younger and then I'd never had the time since Lily was born.

Louis's eyes go wide "Harryyy" he screeches.

"What?" ask Harry rushing into the kitchen, looking worried.

"Cheri.Has.Never.Been.Clubbing" cries Louis.

Harry looks at me "You've got to kidding".

"Nope" I say simply.

"Then you're definitely coming to night!" smirks Harry.

I groan in defeat.

"I'll call Eleanor and see if she'll come" says Louis as he reaches for his phone.

"Who's Eleanor?" I whisper to Harry as Louis chats on the phone.

Harry rolls his eyes "His girlfriend".

"Oh" I say giggling. Louis ends the call then turns to me.

"She says she'll be round out six so you and her can get ready together, she can't wait to meet you" he says smiling.
