Hayley's P.O.V.

We had been here in L.A. for a few weeks things were tense between Niall and Maddie, considering what had happened. Finding out that the person you were in love with had sex with someone else on the same night you did was bound to make things different. Honestly, I didn't think that their relationship would last. When someone cheats on you it's hard to look at them the same again. And it's almost impossible not to feel like shit for cheating on them too.

My baby bump was getting pretty big now. I could only fit into the few maternity shirts I had bought with Maddie. There was still the issue of Josh and Alex. I had never told them I was even considering keeping her, let alone making it final. I was terrified to tell them. It would break their hearts. I just couldn't do that to them, but I knew I had to. I needed my baby girl, now. She had grown on me too much to let her go. The whole reason I wanted to give her up was because I didn't have the money, or the space for her. Now I have Louis, we have a huge apartment, a loving family, amazing aunts and uncles, and more than enough money than I knew what to do with. Record deals were worth alot, after all.

"Hayley?" Louis called out through the hall way. I poked my head out of the doorway so he could see me.

"In here." I answered as he walked into our room. He looked nervous. He has shuffling his hands, which I knew was his nervous habit.

"What's wrong? You look nervous." I worried sometimes that the pressure of making an album, and having a baby would be too much for him.

" I was thinking that maybe..." He trailed off, obviously trying to avoid the subject.

His green eyes looked up to mine "What is it, Louis? You're making me nervous."

"What if we... went to see your dad." He looked up at me, unsure of what I would answer.

"What? No, why would we?' Why would he want me to visit my dad?

"I think he should know that you're pregnant, Hayley."

"No, he can't. I don't want him to." I was shaking my head, completely in protest.

"He's your dad, Hayley. He has a right to know." He argued, but he was wrong.

"He lost that right when he carved 'whore' into my back." I spat back, crying now.

"What? He did that? I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that bad." He apologized, and I loosened up.

"It's okay. I never told you the whole story. Here, sit down." I motioned towards the bed, which I was already sitting on. " You already know about how he was abusive, but you don't know why. My mom left us when I was little, I don't remember her much. My dad kind of lost it after that. It wasn't bad, he just wasn't a good father. My brother was getting bullied at school, alot. He needed somebody there, a father. I was only only thirteen so didn't know what was going on. He didn't exactly trust his little sister with those types of things. he didn't have anyone to be there for him, and... he took his life. That's when my dad started drinking. He blamed me for my brother's suicide, saying I should have helped him. Then once, he hit me, and he didn't stop until the day I got expelled. That was when he carved 'whore' into my back. I called the cops."

Louis sat there in utter shock of what I had told him. I was emotionless. That subject didn't bring me pain anymore. It made me numb. My father didn't deserve my tears. He didn't deserve me.

"I'm not going to say 'I'm so sorry he did that to you' or anything like that, because I know you've heard it a million times. It doesn't matter anymore. Now you're with me. I'll keep you safe. Nobody will hurt you or our little girl. Ever." He held me in his arms like he did when I first told him about my dad being abusive. I remember that night perfectly. It was the day my car broke down, the day my phone died and I didn't have a charger, the day I had to walk a mile in the cold rain, the day I was almost raped by three guys, but most importantly, the day I found Louis again. I don't regret deciding not to get my oil changed, not remembering my charger from the motel I had stayed at before, not taking the normal route to Lauren's apartment, because if none of those things had happened then I wouldn't be standing here.
