Chapter 20

Chapter 20-

HARRY'S POV

As soon as the words come out Ashley's mouth, I can't breathe. I start to choke on my drink and I quickly get up. I need to get out.

I feel anger go through me as I realise how they've been lying to me all this time. I trusted them both.

Niall's still choking on his water so Cheri quickly pats him on the back.

Looking over to them, feeling jealously wash over me as I realise how much of a couple they look like.

I start to walk away but Niall quickly grabs my arm.

"H-Harry, Lily's n-not mine" he gasps.

"Niall, I can't understand you" I sneer, disgusted that he think he can still lie to my face when the truth is so clear. I stalk off out of the restaurant, ignoring the desperate calls to come back from Cheri.

I'm aware of the guiltiness going through me for leaving since it's Lily's birthday but it's too much to take in right now.

I can't believe Niall was the father all along. No wonder whenever I asked Cheri who the father was she could never give me a straight answer.

My heads swimming with thoughts, it just doesn't add up though.

How could Niall of gotten Cheri pregnant, I thought they barely knew each other? Unless somehow they lied about that as well.

I push past the paparazzi that are waiting outside the restaurant and make my way to the car. I get in the car and just sit there, listening to the sound of my breathing. My chest feels heavy as I lean my head against the car window. I feel so betrayed and I suppose part of me secretly wanted Lily to be mine.

I think of Cheri, Niall and Lily- the perfect family then I begin to sob silently against the cold car window as I think of how alone I am right now.

CHERI'S POV

I watch as Harry stands up angrily from the table.

"Harry!" I call out hopelessly. I start to stand up but Louis grabs my arm and pulls me back down.

"Leave him for a bit, he needs to cool down," Louis says quietly.

"But he's got it wrong! Nialls not the father!" I say frustrated.

Everyone turns to look at me incredulously.

"He's not?" say Eleanor looking extremely confused. I mentally slap my self did she actually believe Ashley?

"How could I be the father? I've only known Cheri a week let alone two years!" says Niall finally knocking some sense into them.

Ashley snorts "Obviously Niall's the father, it can't be a coincidence that Lily and Niall almost look alike".

"Lily's not Nialls daughter!" I say in exasperation.

"But they even have the same hair colour, explain that!" Ashley argues back.

Niall rolls his eyes "My hairs dyed". I can't believe how stupid Ashley is right now, how could she accuse Niall of being Lily's daughter.

"But... then who's the father?" says Ashley raising her eyebrow.

"None, of you're business" I snap, Ashley smirks in amusement at my annoyance.

"I don't know what's funnier, Niall not being the father or you not even knowing!" she says sniggering.

I finally lose my patience. I don't know what her plan was but she managed to ruin Lily's birthday and turn Harry on me and then she acts like it's on a big joke. I stand up angrily. "Cheri..." says Liam warningly and I remember that Lily's still sitting beside me. She's looking bewildered by the whole conversation but that makes me angrier since Ashley caused this.
