Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Taylors POV

I said goodbye to Jackson later in the day, he had to get back to work. And I guess I just wanted to be alone.

A knock from my front door startled me. I turned the T.V on mute and opened the door. Audrey barged in first, yelling at Harry "you're such an ass dad. I ask you one thing and you can't even let me do that. I'm tired of hanging around you and mom fighting all the time. I just want a day away from you and you won't even get that to me. I hate you!" she stormed into her room and slammed the door.

Mason was next to Harry, holding his hand. He came over to me "hey, why don't you go into the kitchen... we can bake some cookies, after I talk with your father" Mason quickly nodded and ran into the kitchen.

"what was that all about?"

"she wanted to go to Bethany's and I said no"

"and why didn't you let her?" I put my hands on my hips, trying to look intimidating

"I just didn't want her to."

"theres no reason why she shouldn't go... I like Bethany. And it's a Friday night. She can have a sleepover if she wants"

He sighed and rolled his eyes, chuckling

"what." I questioned

"I can't make any decisions, can I, Taylor?"

"I would have hoped you would make the right ones Harry!"

"whatever Taylor. I have a date tonight. I don't have time to deal with you." he scoffed

A date? What the hell? He hit Jackson because he is in love with me but hes going out on a date? "oh deal with me?! Harry look at you. you're a mess. You need to figure things out. And you also need to connect with your kids."

"don't you think I've been trying Taylor?! I try so damn hard to please you and to please Audrey. I can't read your fucking minds! I say one thing and you do the other. Oh, it's not okay to be cool with Audrey getting suspended so she doesn't hate us and run away? Or how about choosing to keep her in the house just because I think it's best for her."

"watch your language Harry!" I felt tears fall down my cheeks, I was so tired of this.

"I can't make you happy. Ever. I can't make Audrey happy, the only person that likes me in this family is Niall! and he's my god damn band mate!" He picked up a pillow and threw it at the wall

"stop!" I screamed for him, holding his arms.

"get off me Taylor!" he swung his arm up and struck my nose.

I fell back and held my face, "what has gotten into you?!"

He quickly dropped to his knees holding my hand "Taylor, I-I'm so sorry!"

"mom?" Audrey squeaked; she was standing from outside her room, tears pricking her eyes.

We both looked up at her "dad?" we turned our heads, seeing Mason standing the same way.

Blood fell from my nose, but we both sat; frozen. I never, ever wanted this to happen.

Harry got up and handed me a tissue and I held my head back, trying to stop the blood. He first walked to Mason and grabbed his hand, bringing him over to Audrey and the room they shared. Harry tried to grab Audrey's hand too but she pulled it away, "I called the cops on you."

My head dropped back to normal height and looked at Audrey, "youdidwhat?" my speech was a little impaired from all the blood that had dripped into it.
