Opposites.

Chapter 41.

We sit on he couch waiting for my mothers return, I've never seen her cry before, ever. Harry's arm is still wrapped around me as I think of the possible reasons she could be crying. Did something happen to dad, or any family members? I hear my mothers foot steps in her heels letting us know he was coming. I stand up when I see her, she looks perfectly fine. Her hair and makeup is fixed.

"What happened?" I asked her and she gives me a smile.

"Maybe we shouldn't talk about this when guest are over." She says and gives Harry a small smile.

"What? Harry is fine. He needs to talk to you and dad anyways." I tell her and I see her flinch as I mention dad. "Where is dad?" I question her and she sighs.

"Sit down honey." She says and I sit down next to Harry. She sits across the room on the chair and looks at her hands. I feel Harry's hand on my thigh, in a comforting way, not a sexual way.

"You're dad, he-he found someone new." My mother says and blinks a couple times.

"Wh-What do you mean?" I ask her and look at Harry then back at her.

"That's why he's always gone. He found someone 20 years younger. She's his newest blonde secretary, apparently all those business trips and late night at he office were lies." She tells me and shakes her head. I'm surprised she's not crying again, she glanced up at me, her face emotionless.

"How long?" I chock out. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt Harry's thumb slid across my cheeks.

"A year now." She says her face still emotionless. "I always new something was going on, I just always turned the other cheek. I came home from my trip and caught him with her. He tried to talk to me but I kicked him out and now he's living with her. The divorce will happen soon, you will half to go so I will tell you a day before we go to court." She says and stands up.

"I have to go, the hospital called and I have to work the night shift. Is Harry going to be staying?" She states/questions us. I can't talk, there's to much going on.

"If that's okay, then yes I would like to stay with you're daughter." Harry says and she nods before grabbing her purse and walking out. How could she just say that and leave? At least she didn't yell at me for being with Harry or kick him out.

"Del.. Are you okay?" Harry ask and I stare at where my mother once was.

"No I'm not okay." I yell/cry and feel Harry pull me into his chest. I know my dad can be controlling but still, leaving me and my mother for some, some tramp. "Shh" Harry whispers and his hand rubs circles on my back. After about ten minutes I finally stop, his shirt is wet from my tears.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you.." I tell him, my voice horsey from crying.

"No don't apologize." Harry says. "Do you want anything?" He asks me.

"Can you make us tea..?" I ask and he nods. He kisses my forehead before standing up and walking into the kitchen. I stand up after he leaves and walk upstairs into my room. I grab some pajama pants and a tank top before walking into the restroom. My makeup is smeared, I have mascara running down my cheeks, I look like a mess. I wash my face and pull my hair back into a pony tail, I quickly change and turn off the light before heading back downstairs. I see Harry set the tea down on the coffee table before he takes off his shoes and lays them by the front door.

"There you are." He says when I enter the room. I smile and sit down taking he tea, sipping it.

"Thank you." I thank him and he sits next to me. I set the tea back down and he wraps his arm around me. I rest my head on his chest and close my eyes. I feel like crying some more but I don't want to get Harry's shirt wet again.

"Do you want to watch a film?" Harry suggest and I nod. Harry turns on the TV, flicking through channels. He finally stops on, "A walk to Remember."

"This film is so sad." I tell him and he nods in agreement. I feel a blanket being wrapped around us, we usually keep on on the couch.

"I ordered pizza, I thought you'd might be hungry." He tells me and I look up at him.

"I love you Harry.." I say and he smiles.

"And I love you Delilah." He kisses my forehead again and we continue watching the movie.

The pizza arrives ten minutes later and we both eat the entire box, Harry tries to make me laugh time to time. I end up crying like a baby at the end of the movie, it's just so sad. How be loved her so much, and married her before she died just so he could marry her. The bad boy who fell inlove with the goody goody. My eyelids start to get heavy as Harry turns on another movie. I drift off for a minute or two before I feel myself being lifted from the couch. Harry carries me up the stairs and I hear him kick my door open, and shut it with his foot. He lays me onto my bed covering me up. I know he's going to climb in any second so I wait. I head him take off his clothes leaving him in his boxers. I hear his phone start the ring and he curses to himself before answering it.

"Hello?" He answers quietly. I keep my eyes clothes as I hear him groan.

"I'm not coming right now." He snaps and I hear muttering on the other side of the phone. "Yes, I know. I'm with someone, yeah." He says. "Well figure it out. I'm not coming so shut the hell up." He snaps getting louder. I open my eyes and see him standing with his back to me with his phone pressed against his ear. He turns to look at me, our eyes connect. "I gotta go." Harry tells whoever is on the other line and hangs up laying his phone on my dresser, he walks over to the bed and climbs in.

"Sorry if I woke you up." He whispers and pulls me into him, my back touching his chest.

"It's fine, who called?" I ask and feel him tense.

"Adam." He whispers and I nod. I feel him kiss the back of my neck. "Go to bed love, ill be here in the morning." Harry whispers and squeezes me gently.

"Love you.." I whisper and close my eyes, I'm so tired and my eyes burn from crying. I feel Harry lift my tank top and he runs his finger tips in small circles, calming me.

"Love you more baby girl." He whispers back and I drift off into a dark places where I can be worry free.
