Sanctuary (Sequel to Already Gone)

(34) Lack of Oxygen

~~Harry's POV~~

This is taking to long. For fuck sakes what is Maddie doing? All she had to do was ask one thing. Fuck it I cant wait any longer. I sling our bedroom door open and there stands Maddie pacing the floor. She looks up at me and I can tell by her eyes I am not going to like what she has to say. She moves pushing me back in and closing the door. "Harry listen to me." She licks her lips. "Before I tell you a single thing remember we have 3 children asleep in this house." Oh fuck me this is bad. "Promise me Harry." She begs. She comes over grabbing my face in her hands. "Promise me." I just nod because at this point I cant promise shit.

"She....she has." I groan pulling at my hair trying to fight back my rage.

"Fuck Madison she's to young." I say not knowing what else to say other than that.

"I know baby but she said it was only once."

"That doesn't make it any better." I sit on the edge of the bed as she stands there chewing on her lip. Fuck there is more and I know it. "Spill it Styles." I urge her to continue.

"You're not going to like it, you sure?" Fuck what is worse then finding out your baby girl is having sex? I nod. "It was Will." Oh my god. I stand glaring at her. I'm going to kill that little bastard.

"As in William, Louis' son?" I question hoping I'm wrong because fuck she has stayed over at his house.

"Yes Harold." I make my way to the door but she moves in front of it. "Stop! Whatever is going through that head, you need to stop right now." She commands.

"I'm going to bloody kick his ass." I say to her trying to move her out of my way.

"Harry he's fucking 16."

"I don't care how old he is. If he's old enough to be shagging my baby, he's old enough to get his ass kicked." She holds on to me tight as I try to move her, but I stop hearing tapping on the door. She moves aside and cracks it and shaking her head holding up a finger.

"Harry I swear you lose your cool with her I'm kicking your ass." I roll my eyes as she pushes the door back revealing London standing there. She moves in and sits in the middle of our bed. I know she is 17 but all I see is her jumping on our bed as she laughs begging me to sing her to sleep. The way she would come in our room at night when she had a bad dream. I can still hear her tiny voice as she asked me to hold her tight. But as I shake my head and look at her, I realize my baby girl has grown into a young woman. As much as I try to hold her back she still grows. Her sitting there now legs crossed, hair hanging, and those green eyes shinning, all I see is the brave young woman coming to face her father. Maddie moves to the bed and I follow. I pull Maddie into my arms for support.

"Daddy... I know you're mad but hear me out." Her voice shakes as she speaks. Maddie runs her fingers up my arm as she listens. "I know I'm young but we love each other." She looks down at her hands. "I have grown up watching the greatest love story one could see. I always wanted a love like the one you have with mum." I feel Maddie's tears as they hit my arm that rests on her shoulder. "Will looks at me like you look at mum. I always heard mum talking about you and when she would write a song, you could feel the love she had. Will makes me laugh, even when I don't want to. He makes me see all the good in life, making me want to fight just a little harder for it. When I'm not with him I ache and it drives me mad."

Wow this is my baby, my little bear, telling me she loves another man. I'm find myself a bit jealous, but happy at the same time. I have to say the love that Maddie and I share is unlike any other, and to hear my daughter telling me she loves someone the same as I do her mum is breathtaking. I take a deep breath trying to take it all in. "You love him?"
