Never Letting Go. (Sequel to Til Death Do Us Part.)

22. False Accusations

I got Mark all dressed. He looked much like his father in his black jeans, blue shirt, and black hoodie. His hair was all burshed out and he had on a pair of black sneakers.

I zipped his hoodie and smiled as he giggled, twirling a piece of my hair in his fingers.

"Alright, Louis' going to take you to daddy's, okay." I say.

Mark nodded his head and broke away from me to run into my bedroom where Louis was.

I shook my head and stood up, following him. When I got in the room, Louis had him hoisted up on his hip, tickling his stomach. I couldn't help but to smile at the sight.

Oh, how I wish I had a baby with Louis. Nothing's stopping me. I'm going to try again. Just so I know what it's like to have a child with the love of my life. Having children with someone else I don't love just doesn't seem like the smartest thing I've done in my 25 years of life.

"You ready to go, buddy?" Louis asked, ruffling his hair.

He nodded and got down, coming over to me. I crouched and he hugged me, wrapping his chubby arms around my neck. I chuckled and hugged him back, kissing his temple. He pulled back and pressed his lips to my nose. I crinkled my face up.

"Mummy loves you." I say.

"I love you too, mummy." He replies.

I smiled.

"You gonna be good for daddy?" I ask.

He nodded.

"Promise?"

"Yes." He says, impatiently wobbling between his feet.

"Alright."

I kissed his cheek and Louis picked him up from behind, shaking him gently. He giggled, asking to be let down. Louis complied and sat him on his feet.

I straightened up and hugged Louis' torso. His arms rounded my waist, pulling me closer.

"You did a good job." He whispers low enough for only me to hear.

I looked at him confused.

"With what?" I query.

"Mark," He says, nodding towards him.

"He's a good kid. And has an even better mum. Even though he's yours and Zayn's, I know he's well taken care of when he's in fact with Zayn." He continues.

"That's because he's a good dad. Minus the alcohol." I reply.

"Don't say that's bad. That's how your son got here."

I frowned.

"Yeah, sadly." I say.

"Sadly? Sadly nothing, El. If it wasn't for your alcohol influenced mistake, you wouldn't have that baby. Be glad he's here at all."

"I am, Lou, but i-"

"But nothing. Eleanor, you brought a beautiful baby boy into this world with Zayn. Just because it was with him, doesn't mean you need to waltz around upset about it. You've been acting like a mother for this long. Don't let your mistake get you down like this."

I pulled away and walked to my side of the bed, sitting down.

"Just take him to his dad. I want to be alone for a bit." I mumble.

Louis sighed and I heard him tell Mark to come with him. There were light footsteps and then a door closed. I was finally alone. I had some time by myself. There was nothing for me to do. The only thing I could think to do was talk to someone.

But who?

I didn't want to talk to Aeron or Elizabeth. They had problems of their own and they didn't need mine as well. It seems a bit selfish to throw my issues at them. Niall, Harry, Louis, and Zayn? They're busy. My parents would just give me a lecture or assume I'm knocked up again and I don't need false accusations in my life, so not them. Louis' mum would be nice, but she'd probably be the same as my parents and once again, I didn't need that.

The only person left was Liam and he's been pretty good about himself lately. He's been keeping away from drama and he's also the only stable one in our circle of friends. Maybe I could give him a quick call or something.

I got up and went to my bag, opening it and rummaged through it until I found my cellphone. I went back to the bed and scrolled through my contacts until I found Liam's and called him.

"Hello?" He asked.

It felt good to hear his voice again. It's been too long since I've talked to him. The only time we ever talk is with everyone else around. It was hectic most of the time, so it was nice that both of our lines were silent.

"Hey, Li. Could you come over here, please?" I ask.

"Sure, what for?" He replied.

"I need someone to talk to and you were the only eligible canidate." I say.

He chuckled.

"That makes sense. I'll be there soon, alright?"

I sighed in relief.

"Thank you so much. Everything is just too difficult for me to handle."

"I understand. I'll see you soon, love."

I said goodbye and hung up, laying back on the bed.

Life is seriously kicking my ass.
