Have you ever felt so powerless? Do useless? That is exactly how I feel right now. Here I have Elena crying her eyes out and I can't do a damn thing about it. I feel so unhelpful, "Elena?" I whispered.

"I need him." She spoke quietly.

"I know baby, I know." I cooed rubbing her back.

" He's all I have, he's the only one that won't run away from me, but he's not here." She hiccupped.

"I'm not going to sit here and tell you everything is going to be okay because truth is, I don't even fucking know if it is. I won't sit here and say we will get your baby before Johnny because I don't know that either but, I will tell you that you don't have to cry. You don't have sulk over it all because your little boy needs you to be strong, he needs you to fight for him and try your hardest to get him before his dad does. Elena he needs you and the only way you are going to get to him is if you don't let Johnny see weakness, don't let Johnny think he's winning because that won't get us far. Most importantly you have to use all your love for your little boy because that will make you ten times more stronger than you already are." I explained.

"Really?" She asked her voice barely a whisper. Her tear stained cheeks reddening from her eyes watering up again, and her eyelashes damp.

"Really." I replied. I stood up and offered her my hand. "Come on." She grabbed my hand and I helped her up.

"How are we going to get Anthony back, my baby?" Hmm, Anthony? Cute name. "We have to make a plan that is why everybody is here because they are going to help." She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why are they helping me?" She asked.

"Because we're family and family is always there when you need them." I told her and she. smiled her dimples popping out.

"Zayn texted me awhile ago and said Hayden is on her way." I mumbled. Elena groaned, "I forgot I was going shopping with her today." She got up and was about to go upstairs. "Wait, Elena?" She turned around and raised her eye brows. "Yes?" I sighed. "I'll try my absolute hardest to get your baby back." I told her and she smiled slightly. "Thanks."

With that, she turned back around and walked upstairs to change.

Johnny. He better hope I don't find him because if I do; I will first kick his ass for raping Elena, and then second I will re-kick ass for making her have to give up her baby. I know I would do anything to see my mother again, and to have to think Elena is in the position I think my mother is in; I would guess it was pretty bad. Elena doesn't deserve this, no-one does.

Day and night I think about what could have happened if I had just stayed. If I had just stayed and not have done all those bad things. Then, I would have my mom and my sister; but I heard they are happy. "Harry?" I looked up from the floor and my eyes met Lily's. "Hey, Lil." I smiled weakly. She sat down next to me on the floor. "Why the sour face, when someone could be falling for your smile." She teased. "Just thinking about my mom and Gemma." I whispered and she sighed. "Harry you do know that if you need someone to talk to we are all there for you, familia para siempre, remember?" She quietly spoke nudging my shoulder.

"Familia para siempre." I repeated with a smile.

Lily was the one who taught me Spanish and Niall attempted to as well. Lily was like a little sister to me, and I am very protected over her, we all are. Lily is the youngest of the bunch. She joined our family when she was fourteen and she is now seventeen. "Lily, do you think there is hope; in getting to Elena's baby before Johnny?" I asked.

"Honestly, if we all work together I think we can do, we can do anything especially when we are all together." She spoke honestly.

Suddenly, we heard footsteps down the stairs followed by laughing. "Thanks." I heard Elena giggle. "No problem, anytime." I knew that voice.

Elena and....Levi? Rounded the corner. Levi was holding Elena's bag and they were talking. "Elena, what are you doing?" I asked and she looked away from Levi to look at me. "I'm staying over at Hayden's." She said, there was a honk outside.

"That's her, bye guys." She waved and Levi handed her the bag before she walked out the door. "I'll see you later Levi!" She yelled out before fully closing the door.

What the hell?

Both Lily and I looked at Levi with our mouths hung opened. He turned around and looked at us his smile falling, and a curious frown was set on his face.

"What?" He said before walking away.

Oh, my, god. You have got to be kidding me. I threw my head back groaning.

"So much for family." I mumbled and Lily laughed. "Looks like you've got competition, Harry." She tantalized. I looked at her with a nervous smile. "Please, I am not even the slightest bit worried, Levi can have her, I don't like Elena in that way." I said with a smirk. "Mhh, okay..." She dragged out and got up skipping off. I sighed, finally she is gone. "Oh and Harry?" She peeked her head around the corner.

"You are totally smitten." I groaned throwing a pillow her way, making her burst out laughing and runaway.
