If I.

|Chapter 35|

Fran's POV

"Mom!" I shouted as she entered the front door. "Oh thank god" I sighed in relief as I ran into her arms.

"Fran! What's wrong?" She asked.

I pulled away at the tone of her voice.

"Are you okay?" I questioned as I noticed her red eyes.

"No" she shook her head, beginning to tear up again.

She fell back into my arms, holding onto me tightly.

Harry slowly left my room, eyes widening at my mother.

'Should I go?' He mouthed, motioning to the front door.

I slowly nodded, turning my attention back to the woman in front of me who was inconsolable.

Harry's POV

"I fucked up man" I said taking a large gulp of my beer.

Niall just shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah, you did" he agreed.

"Gee thanks" I rolled my eyes.

He held his hands up in defense, "what? You said it, I just agreed with you" he said opening another bottle.

"It doesn't matter anyways, I'm pretty sure she's done with me" I sighed.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, but damn, you could of at least told me who her father was" he shook his head, "so are you staying for the game?" He asked, grabbing the tv remote.

"What did you say.." I questioned.

"I said are you staying for the game" he looked at me weirdly.

"You said.. I could of told you who her father was? What are you talking about?" I asked hesitantly.

"You.. Don't know" he whispered, "I uh.. Think you should talk to Amber"

The moment the words left his mouth I was out the door.

"Harry I'm sorry! I didn't know!"

..........................................................

"Amber!" I shouted, pounding on her door.

I heard a groan from the other side before it jolted open. "What now" Amber rolled her eyes.

I pushed past her and walked into her apartment.

"Why can't you just leave Fran alone!" I said forcefully, with the intention of breaking her tough demeanor.

"What? She didn't tell you either" she snickered, "oh wow, that's interesting"

"Didn't tell me what" my voice cracked.

When she began to speak all of the pieces began to fit together.

How didn't I see it before.

Why didn't she tell me.

"Looks like she knows how to keep a secret herself" Amber smirked.
