Adopted by Harry Styles

aftermath (extra chapter)

{this is based the day after autumns passing}

She gone, dead. I'll never get to hold her again. I'll never hear her say the words "I love you daddy" again. Damn, it hurts.

"Harry," Danielle said for probably the twelfth time today, "please talk to me."

I felt her rub her hand on my back. I was still in my clothes from the hospital. I never changed from when I found myself in my bed. I haven't showered since I was at my parents house, and that was like three or four days ago.

"Harry," she said again, tapping my shoulder.

"Fine, I'll just read to you then," she said stubbornly as she sat up in the bed.

She stopped and I rolled over to face her, "He tweeted me?"

She nodded, "I got on your phone and favorited all of them, hope you don't mind."

I shook my head. "Harry, please let me help you."

"The only way you can help, is to bring her back. And you can't do that," I said.

"I know, but you can't stay like this. I hate, absolutely hate, seeing you this way. You have every damn right to mourn, but instead of hiding away from me, will you cry with me?"

I opened my arms and she sighed and got into them. I felt the dampness of her tears going through my shirt and I sniffled. "She's really gone, Danielle."

"I know baby," she spoke quietly as she pressed a small kiss to the crook of my neck.

"I'm not a daddy anymore," I spoke as I coughed, trying to not cry for once in my damn life.

"It's okay to cry," she mumbled as she ran her fingers down my arm.

"I've cried too much," I spoke weakly.

"Harry, you lost a daughter. You've got every fucking right to cry as much as you want to."

I sighed and tears ran down my cheeks, "There, happy?"

I rolled over and held onto the pillow as if it was the last time I had hugged Autumn. I sobbed and I felt Danielle get up and leave the room and start talking on the phone.

I slowly sobbed myself to a dreadful sleep.

"He's been out for hours, Lou. I don't know if you can get him up."

"Trust me, I can get him. I lived with him."

I felt him sit next to me and heard Dani leave. I felt him pushing on my shoulder, "Harry."

"Harry, you need to get up and say goodbye to Danielle."

I opened my eyes and shot up, which startled him. "She's leaving me?"

I started crying as I got up and ran downstairs, where Dani was pulling a suitcase.

"Please don't leave me," I cried as she turned to look at me, "I wasn't trying to be rude earlier. I'm sorry, I'll do anything.  Just please god do not leave me."

I started running fingers through my hair as I heard Louis running down the stairs and Dani's eyes widened.

"Did you tell him that?" Danielle asked him angrily.

"No! I said he needed to come say goodbye. He left before I could finish."

"Harry, baby, I'm not leaving you," she spoke softly as she walked up to me, "my parents called. Something's happened, I've got to go to them. I'll be back before the funeral, okay?"

I sniffled, "don't go. I need you more."

She kissed me and Louis came up behind me and began pulling on my arm, knowing I'll try to make her stay when she needs to go to her family.

"Danielle!" I called as she shut the door.

"I know it feels like she's leaving you for good," Louis said as I covered my face with my hands to cry, "she'll be back. I know you want her here. I'm not leaving, I'm here for tonight."

"I can't be by myself. I need you until she gets back," I spoke as I looked at him.

"Niall will be here tomorrow night, c'mon, let's get you a shower. You smell like shit."
