Chapter 18 - Elephants can't jump

Sam's POV

"Uh Mrs.Styles isn't available for any appointment anytime soon." I said.

"I let him skip a concert i'm not gonna let him skip this too. He can't just avoid his responsibilities. None of them can." Simon said. Why does he even care so much.

"Ok i understand. I'll try to contact mrs.Styles. He'll call you back in a couple of hours." I said. I couldn't continue fighting with him. Now i have some hours to think of a plan even though i kind of already have one. I work fast.

"What are we gonna do?" Jess asked when Simon hung up without even saying goodbye or anything.

"I have a plan." I said.

"And what's the purpose of the plan?" Jess asked.

"So he really does know." Meg said.

"What?" she was completely out of the topic.

"If Simon knows Harry doesn't live with his real mom than Harry knows it for sure. He knows he has a sister right?" Meg asked again.

"No, Meg we can't know that." Jess said.

"Yes, yes we can. I know it. And you know it too. We know it." She said.

"Meg i swear he just doesn't know." I said.

"Why should i believe you? You just told me yourself that he knows but he doesn't care." Meg said.

"I apologized you for that and i told you that wasn't true!" i almost yelled.

"Then prove it!" she said with the same tone.

"Fine. We'll go ask Harry!" i said. We were gonna ask him anyways. I mean, we had to tell him soon or late but since Meg's mom decided to meet her long lost son it's soon.

"What? No. Not now! i-" she started saying.

"What? So you think he doesn't know and you still don't want him to know!" I said.

"It's not that, i'm just not ready to talk to him."

"Well you're gonna have to soon or late." I pointed out.

"Yeah but.. you wouldn't understand anyways." She said.

"Ugh! Don't make this so tragic! Let's go talk to him right now." I said as i grabbed her hand while Jess was following us.

We went to the basement.

"Hey!" i said trying to get their attention. "Sorry to interrupt you but i need to talk to Harry." I said.

"Nooo! Not now!" Harry complained.

I walked towards him and grabbed his hand.

"No wait! They need me!" he said referring to the game they were playing.

We went to the hall that separates the basement from the other part of the house.

"So.. what's so important?" he asked.

"Simon called." I said and i noticed Meg letting out a breath. Did she really think i was going to simply say 'dude she's your sis'? No way. This things need time and a professional talker, like me.

"What does he want?" Was the first thing he asked. By his tone he seemed a bit annoyed. Is he really that mad he left the game or did Louis give him some of his medicine.

"He... wants you to meet someone." I said. A short pause for special effect.

"Who? Is it important?" he asked.

"Yes very important. There are some things you should know." I said. I started regretting all this. Maybe we shouldn't tell him he has a sister. Not yet.

"Like what?" I looked over at Meg who didn't even blink but i could tell she doesn't want to do this.

"Listen Harry. Someone really important called Simon and he or she really wants to meet you." I'm trying to avoid the sister part. I'll tell him eventually.

"Who the fuck called? Why are you making this so tragic?" He almost yelled. He reminds me of myself.

"It.. was.. your mom." i finally said.

"Anne?" he asked and looked at me like i was stupid.

"No your real mom." I said.

"What do you mean?" he asked a bit confused.

"THAT ELEPHANTS CAN'T JUMP!" what does he think i mean. "I meant, Anne is not your real mom you idiot."

"You're kidding." He said as if he was totally sure. Can elephants actually jump?

"I'm not! I swear! You need to call Simon! He wants to talk to you!" i said.

"Ok, give me my phone and i'll call Simon." He said. There's something in his tone that lets me know he doesn't believe me. Well, he's about to find out the truth.

I dialed Simon's number and put it on speaker.

"Hello?" Simon answered.

"Hi Si!" Harry said.

"Oh Harry, i'm glad you called!" He said. "I want to tell you something!"

"Oh really?" Harry asked.

"Yes. Didn't your assistant tell you?" he asked.

"My assistant?" Harry asked a bit confused but waved at him letting him know that it was me.

"Oh my assistant. Umm no, my stupid assistant didn't tell me everything." Harry said.

"Well, your biological mom called and she wants to meet you." Simon repeated the words that i had just said. Harry's face was priceless.

"Harry? Are you still there?"

"Yeah yes. I- Simon, i don't think i'm ready to meet her." what's with him and his sister not being ready for anything.

"Well at least call her. " Simon said.

"Oh-ok. J-just give me her number." He was talking slowly but still stuttering.

Simon gave him her number and hung up. I noticed how Meg recognized her mother's number.

"Should i call her now?" Harry asked us.

"Just a sec. Meg can we talk for a moment." Meg nodded.

We went out of the hall into the living room.

"Are you ok?" i asked.

"Yes, it's just that he's about to call my mom. For the first time. I don't know how i should feel about this. I-" i interrupted her.

"You should feel happy." I said. "I mean, your family's getting back together."

"Except for my dad." Meg added. Well yeah. We don't know who or where her dad is.

"But don't think about him. Just remember that things are gonna get better now."
