The One That Got Away

Chapter 12

Selena POV

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY!"

I smiled, pulling Harley into my arms and hugging him tightly as he giggles while I tickled his sides.

"I BIG BOY, MOMMY!" Harley giggled, dancing in my arms while making Horace dance in the air.

"I know, your getting to be a big boy. I don't want you to be a big boy, I want you to be my baby forever!"

"No, I no baby!"

"Your my baby, though!" I chuckled, kissing his cheek repeatedly as he giggles while wrapping his little arms around my neck and hugging me tightly.

Today is Harley's birthday!

I know to some it isn't a big deal, but for any parent like me, it'll always be a big deal. I mean, I had Harley at a young age when I wasn't ready to be a mother. Other than Harry, our son saved my life. That's why, every year is important to me whenever it's Harley's birthday.

"No baby, mommy! BIG BOY!"

"No my baby, MY BABY!" I tickled his sides, Harley shrieking in his bursts of laughter as I laughed along in this moment. But it was soon cut off, as soon as we heard someone clear their throat.

We both look up as we see Harry stand there, awkwardly in front of us before shortly smiling at Harley, and getting down on his knees to meet his height.

"Happy birthday Haz"

"Thank you, daddy" Harley runs up to Harry, wrapping his arms around his neck as Harry pulls him into a tighter hug.

I sat there as I watched them hug each other, not really knowing what to do or say. I still can't get over what happen Tuesday night, it's was ugly.

I stood up from the ground, sighing and walking past them as I went over to the stove to prepare breakfast.

"Haz, why don't you go wash up for breakfast, yeah?"

"Yeah" Harley replays back to Harry before hearing tiny footsteps run off and out of the kitchen. I felt Harry's eyes looking right at me, but I didn't dare to turn around because I didn't want to.

"Sel....can we talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about"

"Yes we do, about Tuesday night. I just can't stand not talking to you"

"Well I forgive you alright? I forgive you every time, so stop trying to bring it up" I said as I turned, walking my way past him before I felt him grab my arm and pull me towards him.

"Selena....please" he pleaded, looking at me with his emerald green eyes, holding me closely to him with both hands held onto my arms.

"What do want from me, Harry? You don't want me to be affectionate, share my opinions with your getting angry about it, what am I suppose to do?"

"Love me like I love you....no one else" he said, I furrowed my eyebrows confusedly at his words.

No one else?

What does he mean by that? There is no one else.

* FLASHBACK *

"Why do you care so much about me? I'm not important"

"But I know your hurting. I can feel it" he nods, looking at me. I couldn't help but blush, Niall is very handsome. What girl wouldn't blush around him?

"Your lonely Sel, I can sense your loneliness whenever I see you. It sounds creepy, I know. But I can see it in those sparkly brown eyes of yours"
