The New Boy

That is Avery

Mina's POV

''How?'' Harry's voice cracked at the end. ''Long story short, Isabella is my cousin.'' You said and swallowed the lump in your throat. Harry's face turned back to Avery and hugged the little girl as he sobbed softly. You felt bad for keeping it a secret from him but you had no choice.. ''Do you remember me? Probably not.'' Harry said to Avery as he pulled away and smiled at her with still watery eyes. Avery didn't say anything but scooted closer next to you. Harry sighed before sitting up again in front of you. ''How are you planning on telling this to Zayn?'' He said finally. ''I don't know but that isn't even my biggest concern.'' You told him and he raised an eyebrow. ''What's more important than telling Zayn, you know, she is erm here.'' He said carefully. ''Can I just put Avery to sleep before we continue this conversation?'' He nodded and you lifted Avery and brought her upstairs. You layed her down on a matress with a blanket and a pillow. ''Just sleep okay princess.'' You said smiling to her as you pressed a kiss on her forehead. ''Will you be there when I wake up?'' She asked scared, as if you were gonna leave her. ''Ofcourse sweety.'' You said and she beamed at you before hugging you tight. You walked downstairs and Harry was still sitting in the same spot as when you went upstairs. You sat back down in front of him and he looked sternly at you. ''Explain.'' He muttered as he went with his hands through his hair. ''First of all, make sure Zayn is gonna spend a few nights at Danny's, just till when we figure out what to do.'' You told him and he obeyed as he made a phone call to Zayn. ''Hey mate, it's me.'' Harry said. ''I wanted to ask you a favour, erm..'' Harry said and looked panicked at you. ''Erm, tell him I'm sick.'' You whispered and Harry nodded. ''Mina is feeling ill so she is staying over at my place so I can take care of her.'' He said nervously and you put you thumbs up. ''Yeah so can you crash a few days at Danny's? Just until she is better.'' He said. ''Okay, thanks bro. Bye.'' He said and hung up. ''Okay, now care to explain?'' He asked and you nodded. ''It started when I found out my cousin Bella was actually Isabella. She had brough Avery with her and then when I asked her name, she told me it was Avery and then it just me, she looked exactly like Zayn..'' You said and sighed deep. ''How long do you know it?'' Harry asked as he looked concentrated on you. ''Since the night she arrived..'' You said and Harry tensed up as you said that. You saw he was getting angry but this wasn't all.. ''Isabelle uses drugs, she told me it was a doctor's prescription but she was high and drunk as fuck when she came home tonight. She had left Avery and just went clubbing or something but when she came back, she tried to attack me.'' You said. ''Did she hurt you?'' Harry asked as his eyes widened a bit. ''No but-'' You began but Harry stood up. ''FUCK MINA YOU NEED TO TELL ME THESE THINGS SOONER!'' He shouted mad and you quick walked up to him. Your hands trailed along his chest as you tried to relax his tense muscles. ''Harry keep your voice down, Avery is sleeping.'' You said and Harry seemed to understand that. When he sat down, you sat down next to him and stroked his hand softly as he breathed in and out. ''She abuses Avery.'' You whispered, almost unhearable but Harry heard you. His head snaps in your direction as his lips parted slightly. ''We need to keep Isabella away from Avery, that's our first priority rather than telling Zayn.'' You said and Harry nodded understandingly. ''Avery and you can stay here.'' Harry said as he paced back and forth. ''Yeah for now we can but tomorrow we have school, we didn't brought any clothes, Isabella will find out where we are and Zayn, what if Zayn stops by a-'' You began rambling and Harry sighed deep which caused you to stop talking. ''For tonight, just stay here and I'll give school a call you're sick. I will stop by at your place to talk to Isabella and grab some clothes for you two, okay?'' Harry said and you nodded. You buried your head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. ''Let's go to sleep.'' He whispered and you agreed. You wore Harry's oversized shirt to bed and quick crawled next to Harry in bed. ''It'll be okay.'' You said soothingly to Harry but he seemed to be in his own little world.

Harry's POV

''It'll be okay.'' Mina whispered soothingly but you were lost in your own little world. ''I hope so.'' You whispered back as your arms wrapped around her waist as you were facing her. ''Thanks for telling me anyways.'' You said and smiled weakly. ''I had to.'' She said back and seemed sad for a second. ''Goodnight.'' She whispered and closed her eyes. You layed awake for a few minutes, just looking at her features. You couldn't actually believe how much you loved this girl. The things you would do for her.. Soon you closed your eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
