(Daily?)

~Janissa~

"What are you doing here?" The surprise was evident in her voice. Harry took a little while before he answered, and in that time, the room seemed to fill with people. Some of  them were old, some young, but there were very little people our age, making the scene more depressing.

"I thought you would like to meet your family." He smiled. "You remember Janissa, my girlfriend now." I smile, stepping next to the towering, broken boy. Her eyes lite up seeing my familiar face. I wish I could say the same, but the woman I am looking at was not the person I remember.

"Hi, Mrs. Styles." I smile. Her features match mine.

"And this is your grandson, Jess." His hand travels to Jess's back, guiding him in front of all of us. The voices in the back let out a small 'aw', watching the blue- eyed boy approach his grandmother for the first, and last time. Her eyes went wide, and she used every ounce of strength to sit up in her bed. It was visible in her shaking arms.

"Hello there." She smiled down at Jess as he takes her hand in his small ones. "He's beautiful." She tells Harry. He smiles, holding on to me.

"Hi, Grandma."

We leave him mom's room, and head to the parking lot, everyone from the room begin talking to each other. Some lighting up cigarettes causing me to instantly pull Jess away from the smoke.

I end up taking him back inside to grab a snack from one of the machines by the bathroom.

"What would you like?" I ask. He smiles looking at all the choices. It literally had everything you could think of. Little bags of crisps, some cookies, all types of candy. Of course, Jess being nine, asked for a small bag of cookies. "Should we get Harry something?" He nods his head, pointing to Haz's favorite crisps.

I allow Jess to press the buttons because he asked to, grabbed the stuff, and headed outside. Harry was standing next to a tall blonde, and a small little girl who looked to be her daughter. They were laughing, but they were standing awkwardly next to each other as the small girl clung to her leg. Her face held a small amount of make-up, making me think I should start wearing some.

"Harry!" Jess yells, running toward him with the bag of crisps in his hand. Waving it in the air, Harry scoops him up in his arms, lifting him up in the air. It was one of those 'he would make a great father', kind of moment. The kind you read in books.

The moment couldn't be sweeter.

~Harry~

This moment couldn't be more fucked up. She's here. Why is she here. Did she keep in contact with my family while I was away? Were her and Jake a thing now? This was all to confusing. Janissa, my girlfriend, took Jess, my son, into the building, then out of no where, Chloe shows up out of no where with her little sister. 

"Harry?" She asked approaching me. I haven't seen her in years, since I was fifteen actually. How could she be here? Why would she be here? Seeing her brings back old memories that I would rather forget. A lot of hurt I would rather not feel ever again in my entire life. No one on this earth should have to go what I went through.

"Chloe." I smile. "Hey."

"Hey. How have you been?"

"I've been good. You? You look amazing. Loving the new needle." She smiled. The small child latching on to her leg.

"And who is this?" I ask, turning my attention to the small blonde child. She actually looked like a girl version on Jess.

"Jenny." She smiles.

"Is this your daughter?" I smile at Chloe. She laughs, and slaps my arm like on of those girls who try to hard. Her action being a small attempt at trying to get me to laugh along with her. I hope.

"Harry, i'm twenty-four. You think I would have a kid?" She laughed.

"I have a kid." I state. Her smile immediately dropped from her face. My eyes awkwardly scan my surroundings watching as Jess and Janissa begin to walk my way. Jess screaming my name with a bag of something in his hands. She sighed a smile O, just in time for Janissa and Jess to stand next to me. I scoop Jess up into my arms, watching him laugh like I wish he would more often.

Janissa gets on her tippy toes and kisses my cheek, a girl move to mark her territory I guess. I promised. I promised myself that I wouldn't let them meet each other, if I thought I would ever see Chloe again, I would have never brought them here.

"Hey, babe." I smile kissing Janissa.

"Don't be rude, Harry. Introduce us." Chloe whispers my way. As if the situation couldn't get any worse, Jake walks over to the small group that began to from in the middle of the parking lot.

"Yeah, Harry. Don't be rude." Jake mocks. In that moment, it took everything in me not to punch him in the face.

"I'm not sure that's a good-"

"I'm Janissa." She smiles, shaking Chloe's hand.

"Chloe. Are you and Harry a thing now?" 

Her voice had nothing but judgment. She act like she owns me, even after eight years, she still acts like she has a say in what I do. Who I am allowed to be with.

"Yes." She answers with pure confidence. "Are you and Harry related, or?" The amount of confidence Janissa has never seizes to amaze me.

"I guess you could say that."

Her eyes lock with mine as she tries to hide a smile. Janissa stays quiet, and hope she doen't get the idea about what happened, but I know that she is smarter than that. I have to tell her or she will think that there was a reason I was hiding Chloe.

Although, I wansn't exactly hiding, but I definitely didn't want them to meet.

"This must be your son." Chloe's hand reaches for Jess, but he flinches more into me. "What happened to your face buddy."

"I would thank you very much if you called me, Jess, ma'am. And I would not like to talk about it."

I know I was defiantly not talking like that at nine years old. Everything about this kid amazes me. He knew exactly what I should do about Janissa, he picked up that I liked her like the second time I met him. He just has this thing about him, he doesn't act like a normal nine year old.

I try not to distance myself from Janissa and Chloe to much as they begin to discuss boys. Especially that subject. I was doing good until Jess pulled me aside, and once again he was spot on.

"Why don't you want Mrs. Janissa talking to that lady, Haz?"

How the actual fuck?
