Stepdad Styles

Chapter 28

Hazel--

Two weeks have slowly passed by since Lux and I finally moved into Harry's house. In those days I've learned that even though two people get along seeing each other throughout the day, when seeing each other every second of the day things get rough.

Like for instance this morning when Harry was leaving to go into the studio and forgot his key, even though he tried calling me 8 times it still was 4 in the morning and I slept through each vibration.

Oops?

Things were a little rocky between us, I was basically his roommate and we had a kid together. That was our relationship pretty much right now in a nut shell but seeing these magazines and the headlines written on daily celebrity gossip still hurt.

Harry Styles (1/4 member of One Direction) was seen leaving The Rage, a popular celebrity hang out bar, with Madelyn Rainne in the early morning hours. The two look very much in love and we can't wait to let you know when they make it offic-

This is bullish!t.

I don't need this right now.

I can't jump to conclusions.

"Yoo-hoo!" A voice chirps from the foyer, startling me from my new founding. I take a deep breath and walk over. "Good morning!" Lou smiles. "Where's Harry?" She questions, looking around my body for a manlier one.

That's a good question.

"Isn't he in the studio? Recording?" I half sass/half ask, worried.

"No, he's off today, he called asking for more hair product. I told him I would be by later this morning..." She trails off and snatches her phone from her purse, swiping the screen she looks confused and then laughs carelessly. "I didn't send it. Oops." She giggles more but somehow I'm not finding this at all funny. Harry has been lying to me.

"He wrote me back two hours ago saying 'don't worry about it and that he would just deal with it.' So.." She puts her phone back in her purse. "He told you he's in the studio?"

My heart begins to become sore just knowing I've been lied to. "Yeah..." I manage to say quietly. I don't trust myself right now to say it without feeling like I was normal. I'm far from it.

"He doesn't go about lying for no reason, you know?" She says matter of factly.

"Yeah... I hope it's a good reason..."

--Harry--

"Come on," she whined, slipping her hand into mine and pulling me through the double doors. "We might as well make the best of this, I know it's not-"

Pulling my hand out from her dainty one I snarl back a helpless laugh. "Best of this..." I repeat. "Going out with you to some club, leaving the two most important girls in my life behind, lying to the most important and you want me to make the best of this..."

"Okay, uhh.." She looks around, for what? I'm not sure but her eyes stop searching and finally she's found something more interesting than finishing her sentence. "What about Liam..."

I swear my blood in my body turned ice cold. Suddenly, all too quickly, my mind is racing of the possible ways to escape. To get out of here and go back to my home with the two beautiful girls I left sleeping for the night. Only, now it's 7 in the morning and they are probably having breakfast and worse... Waking up to me not there.

"Harry?"

"What Madelyn?"

"Hey mate." Liam's voice vibrates through my chest, his voice is much deeper than Madelyns and I'm almost taken aback that it could be deeper than mine right now. For my voice tends to rise and crack under pressure.

"Go away." I groan, throwing a limp hand over my face. A light smacking sound echoes around us.

"You can get through this, Harry."

"Oh yeah? A fancy job I've done so far. I've probably made Haze suspicious, she's probably holding little Lux in her arms telling our daughter that daddy will be home soon... When I won't."

"You won't?" His eyebrows come together in confusion.

"You heard what they said. I can't just not follow the paperwork. I'm in such mud, Li. I'm not sure ill ever make it out."

"Harry, Harry, Harry." Liam snickers, my heavy eyes flicker up to his own. "You really are a goody two shoes sometimes." The fvcker has the nerve to laugh at me. "Some rules were meant to be broken, or in your case.. Paperwork."
