Homicide | h.s. fanfiction

Chapter 29 ~ Revealed

Carrie's POV

*the next day*

The day went by slowly, and I was still shocked on what happened the day before. Zayn is dead. He saved me and now he's gone. We were all at Gray's house having a small celebration of life, I guess you could say, for Zayn. I sat outside alone, feeling the wind brush past my face. I had a lot on my mind, so I needed some time to think things through.

Suddenly, I heard a door open behind me. I looked back and saw it was Gray. He walked over and sat next to me. We just sat there in silence.

"How long?" I questioned.

Gray looked at me, puzzled. "What?"

I finally had the urge to look at him. "How long were you going to wait to tell me?"

Gray was at loss for words, I could tell. I just nodded and looked back into the distance.

"I don't know, okay!" He finally said.

"Why didn't you want me? Was I too much of a disgrace for you to be your daughter?!" I asked as anger started to boil up inside me.

"Of course not! Styles killed your mother and took you away from me!"

I stared at Gray, astonished. "You're saying that Harry and Gemma's father kidnapped me?"

Gray nodded. "He hated me and your mother! He was madly in love with her and he went psycho!"

I was soon ready to hear the whole story. "Tell me everything."

"Styles and I were best friends in high school. I started to date this girl named Cleo, which was your mother, and he fell crazy in love with her. I told him to back off and he went off at me. We got in a fist fight, and then he ran off. I found out he got a girl pregnant while in college and married her."

"Anne?" I questioned.

"Yup." He answered. "She had Gemma then years later, had Harry."

"So, about Harry?" I said wanting him to continue.

"Harry was his father's boy, he had anger issues. Got in fights and was thrown in jail a couple of times. He hated his father though, he killed his mother because she took care of you."

"Oh yeah, she did." I stated.

"He wanted you to suffer, Anne wanted you to live so she secretly took care of you. Styles found out and killed her."

I was distraught. Anne went through so much to take care of me. She even had her life taken doing it.

"Harry didn't want him as a father, even though as a teenager he slowly started to act like him. One day while he was in jail, I bailed him out. I wanted to help him, but I also wanted him to help me. So he worked for me, like I already told you. He had a hard time with Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn because he didn't have many friends. I then told him to do something for me. I told him to kill your fake parents."

My eyes widened. "You told Harry to do that?"

"Yes, and I felt awful when it got him thrown in jail. I was desperate to get you back. When I went to visit him in jail, I told him everything and he got upset. He thought I used him and thought he was a killer. The last thing he told me was that he was going to prove to everyone that he wasn't a monster and wasn't a killer. Then, he escaped and ran off to California. I'm guessing that's where he met you, right?"

"Yeah." I said timidly.

"Well, now you know." Gray finished.

"So, what do I do now?" I curiously asked him.

"Whatever you want. It's up to you." He shrugged.

It was now my choice. I had to decide what I was going to do for the rest of my life. I could stay here or got back to California. I think I already knew what the right choice was.

~ Another short chapter. Sorry! I've literally updated more than once today, and the reason is because this story is ending :( it has a couple more chapters and then I will have finished my first story! Yes it's probably not a lot of chapters like other fanfics, but I need to wrap this up because I have more story ideas. Maybe even a sequel ;) ~
