Chapter 25

The next day, I was out of the house before Harry could even wake up. I was so pissed at him that I even ignored his texts and calls. I didn't want to see him nor talk to him.

"Staying in today?"

"Yup" I mumbled.

Chris walked out of the room as I put my feet in the chair across from me. I let out a sigh as I closed my eyes.

"Kat" I opened my eyes and looked at the doorway to see Harry. I took my feet off the chair and sat up.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I crossed my arms as he came in and closed the door.

"I came here to talk to you, you won't answer my texts or calls"

"You forgot about me last night Harry! You were MIA when I needed you! Do you know how shitty I felt?!"

He sat down "Kat, I'm sorry"

"Where the hell were you?" I asked him "you must have a good explanation for not picking me up and coming home like four hours late?" I asked him.

"I don't"

"Wow you have nothing to say?" I asked him again.

"Kat, I'm sorry" he sighed "please love let me make it up to you"

"Are you cheating?" I asked him.

"God no Kat! I would never do that to you! I love you"

"Then what?" I asked him "how come you didn't come? How come you didn't answer your phone?"

"You really want to know?"

"Of course Haz please"

"Kendall called me"

"What?!" I uncrossed my arms.

"She saw the pictures of me and you and she started asking me questions. We met up and she was angry at the fact that you're spending time with our son"

"But she's the one that left? She shouldn't be pissed at all!"

"I know which is what I told her, then I told her I couldn't do this and she doesn't get to be pissed at who I'm dating or who Matt gets to be around and I left"

I grabbed his hand "you could've just told me Harry"

"I know but I didn't want you being scared of her coming back into our lives"

"She's Matt's mom" I tell him "you shouldn't be afraid to tell me anything that's what I'm here for. We have to tell each other everything babe"

"I know... there's one more thing"

"What is it?"

"She wants to see Matt?!"

"What?! No! Haz! He's only 8! Now she wants to see him after eight years" I walked back and forth.

Harry got up and placed his hands on my arms "I told her that love and I don't want her meeting him either but I have to tell Matt about this"

"Do you really?"

"Yes" Harry smiled.

"You know" I sat back down "sometimes I forget I'm not Matt's mother, we get along so great and I don't want to lose him"

"I wish you were Matt's mom and you would never lose him. That kid is crazy about you babe" Harry kissed me "see you at home later?"

"Yeah"

He left and I sat in the break room just thinking. When I got home, Harry said Matt wanted to talk to me.

"Yes buddy?" I asked him.

"Would you be mad if I talked to my real mommy?"

I sighed "if that's something you really want Matty, that's all I care about. I won't be mad because she's your real mommy and I could never replace her" I tell him.

He wrapped his arms around me and I gave him the biggest hug. I looked up at Harry and I knew what was coming up next and I wasn't ready for it. Matt went to play.

"So this is it then huh?" I asked him.

"Yeah I guess so, how are you feeling?"

"My feelings don't matter, how are you feeling?"

"Babe, your feelings matter okay? Tell me"

"I don't like this at all Haz! She shouldn't get to meet Matt after fucking you over the way she did! Matt is incredible little boy and he deserves an amazing mother! Not someone that left him once he was born"

"I'm going to need a drink" I went over and pour a glass of wine.

"Get me one too"

I laughed as I poured him a glass and handed it to him "I get how you feel babe and I feel the same way. I'm going to go call her"

*****

"She wants to come over now"

"Now?"

"Yeah"

"It's almost Matt's bedtime"

"I know, I told her how about to tomorrow"

"Okay and?" I asked him.

"She's coming tomorrow" he sighed.

I laid in bed "we can worry about that tomorrow babe, come to bed"

He sighed "I should clean up a bit"

He left and I got up and walked to the kitchen "honey come to bed"

"I should clean Kat"

"We can both clean tomorrow"

"But..."

"Hey" I grabbed his hand and he stopped and looked at me "I'm freaking out about this too Harry" I tell him "but I need you to breath and come back to bed okay?"

He took a deep breath and nodded as we turned off the lights and went to bed "we will worry about tomorrow when it comes okay?"

"Okay"
