Chapter 32

Song: No air by Jordan Sparks

Harry's pov

"You have a son?" She says again.

She is standing only ten feet away from me but it feels like thousands.

All the color is drained from her face and she is a white shapeless ghost with nothing but pain in her features.

Her chest is rising up and down and she looks as if she can explode. She keeps shaking her head and her hands are twitching next to her sides. I've never seen her like this before, like there are walls closing in on her and there is no way out.

"Kris its a lot to take in why don't you sit down and we can talk about this-"

"NO HARRY!" She screams.

"Kris please-" I take a few steps towards the raging girl with the pale face and reach my arm out to touch her hand.

"Don't touch me!" She jerks away from me and I can feel my heart shatter.

"I want to hear you say it."

"Say what?" She is really scaring me.

"Say you have a son with Brit. Say you have a kid with another girl. SAY IT!"

"Kris."

What am I supposed to say? I feel so defeated. It takes everything in me for the tears in the corners of my eyes to not come crashing down on the frown that has taken over my face.

"Say it." She says calmly.

She closes her eyes and breathes in and out as if preparing herself for battle.

"I have a son." I say and hang my head.

I want to say this isn't my fault, but I can't. Did I mean for this happen? No. Did Brit mean for this to happen? No. But Kris needs someone to blame right now and I am standing here with a bulls eye on my back.

"I'm so sor-" I begin to apologize but am interrupted by a knock at the door.

I almost completely forgot Gemma and Carrina are standing by the door until Gemma runs to quickly open it.

"Hey Gemma, there was a package in the lobby for you from your mum I figured I would bring it up to you." Liam says walking in my apartment while staring at the brown envelope in his hands clearly not noticing the war going on between Kris and I.

"Thanks Liam." Gemma says uncomfortably.

He finally looks up from the package and his eyes go wide when he sees Kris's fuming yet pale face.

"Oh am I interrupting something?" He says and quickly turns to Gemma after Kris gives him a death stare.

"Did you know?" Kris says slowly taking steps towards a very scared Liam.

"Know what?" He asks slowly backing up.

"Did you know that Carrina is my twin sister and was raised by a loving family while I was abused by our psychotic father? And did you also know that Harry has a son with some girl who now works with him?" She corners Liam and the poor guy starts to sweat.

If looks could kill Liam surely would be dead by now. I have never seen her like this before, but those eyes, wow are they beautiful yet deadly.

In a really strange way, its kind of a turn on.

"Kris I'm so sorry." Liam says when he is backed all the way in the corner.

"SO EVERYONE KNEW EXCEPT ME? Wow I must be an idiot that everyone knew except me! I have the right to know that my boyfriend has a kid and that I have a sister! Who are you to keep it from me?!" Kris turns around and stares me down.
