Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

45. The Same

"Liam I know that you and I haven't been on the best of grounds lately but I really need your help" I said into my cell phone glancing back at the little girl and her mum in the living room, "Please Liam, just pick up the phone"

I pressed the red button on my phone inhaling heavily and walking to the two, "Here you go sweety" I said handing her a cup of juice.

She thanked me taking the cup from my hand and going back to playing with Pepper.

Anna smiled to me looking back at Josie, I wiped the sweat from my palms on my jeans and stared at the door waiting for Harry to come back.

"Are you sure Harry lives here?" Anna asked, "Because I'm sorry to bother-"

"He does, he's just at work he'll be back" I said having her nod and sit back down.

Though I don't know if he wants to see you. I thought, sighing.

"Mummy, is she Daddy's friend?" Josie asked making my pulse race.

"Daddy?" I asked looking at Anna.

"Oh, uh no sweetheart," Anna told her.

"Are you a friend of Harry's?" I asked unable to get my stare away from Josie's green eyes.

"Oh no" she asnwered making me tense.

"Then...?" I scooted away, did I just let a total stranger in our house.

Anna opened her mouth to be stopped by the sound of the door closing, "Ness, I had a tough day do you think we can go to the bedroom and-" Harry stopped mid-sentence holding his finger out to Anna and Josie, "Who's this?"

"Anna and Josie, they were asking for you"

"I don't know them"

"Umm, are you Harry Styles?" Anna got up walking towards him having Harry take a step back.

"Depends on who's asking"

"Oh, I'm Anna, this is my daughter Josie...well, our daughter"

~ Harry's _ POV +

My face went pale and I looked over to Vanessa who was just as shocked as I was, I looked over to the little girl hiding behind her mother, "She's not mine" I explained when I noticed the color of her eyes and I nearly passed out.

"I went to Des Styles but he said that she wasn't his, I promise I won't turn you in for illegal sperm doning but she really wanted to meet-"

"That girl isn't mine" I snapped having her jump.

"B-but" the lady stammered going into her bag, "The paperwork"

I snatched the sheets of paper from her hands, reading over it I had horrid memories of my dad filling this out in front of me but signing it in his name.

"I don't care, she's not my daughter" I said giving her back the papers and heading to the stairs.

"We came so far!" she called holding tight to her daughter's hand, "She wanted to know who you are! Know who she came from!"

I stopped mid way from where I was on the stair case, "Okay" I went back down to look at the little girl, "I'm a huge dick who doesn't care about people's feelings and I know for sure that you are not my kid" I said turning around and heading back up the stairs locking myself in the bedroom.

"Harry" I heard Vanessa's voice from outside.

"I'm not apologising" I called loud enough for her to hear.

"I wasn't going to say that open the damn door" her soft voice said making me chuckle and go for the door. "They left a couple minutes ago, but Harry you can't be in denial about this"
