Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

62. Too Much At Once

I sat at the edge of my Gran's backyard swimming pool with my legs in the water and small rocks sticking to my thighs since I had high shorts on. In one hand I had a granola bar and the other my book which I was reading at the moment.

Everyone else was inside watching that tv show Harry was obsessed with about the the chemistry teaching drug dealer, which by the way I found out he is dying of cancer. Not something I want to watch at the moment.

After finishing the first part of my book I stood up shaking the water off my legs and walked back inside leaving wet footprints on the concrete.

Everyone but Johannah and my Gran were sitting on the sofas watching the screen, and I noticed Harry wasn't there either.

I set my book down on the small table that sat at the end of the couch going up the stairs and to the room Harry and I were staying in standing behind the door that was only slightly opened.

"Anna please just let me-" I heard Harry say. There was a pause, "You can't just hide her from me"

~ Harry's _ POV +

I got tired of watching television and sitting around doing nothing, I'd rather be doing nothing by myself.

I stood up going to my guest bedroom catching my ringing phone in time.

"Hello?"

"You have to stop calling me"

It was Anna.

"What do you expect from me Anna? First you knock on my door with our daughter and then you take her away after one thing I did"

"I took her to you because she wanted to know who her father was"

"And she doesn't, she never got to know me Anna. I would just want one more day with Josie"

"No Harry, I will not let you come near my daughter"

"Anna please just let me-"

"She is my daughter not yours" she interrupted.

"You can't just hide her from me" I told her.

"I have paperwork that tell me otherwise"

"How can you take her away after one mistake Anna?"

"It's not just that Harry"

"Then what?" I asked.

"I went through your documents, illegal sperm doning, under aged drinking, vandalism. Need I go on, I don't want my little girl around that kind of people"

"How dare you go through my private life, not to say it was in my past"

"Oh please, Harry Josie is not the only kid with your DNA just find another one"

I stayed silent, "It's people like you that led me to do that, people who judged me and my friends because we happened to be what people like you didn't approve of. The last house I tore apart was my own after I left it and never went back until this year. People change Anna, you just have your head too far up your ass to realise it" I hung up.

"What do you mean tore up?" Vanessa scared me as she opened the door and walked in.

"It's rude to eavesdrop"

"You've done worse" she smiled sitting on the bed, "Just tell me"

I shrugged, "Like any other under aged drinker, I'd get drunk and fuck up some guy's front yard and he'd call the police"

"You said the last house you messed up was your own"

I sat on the bed next to her, "It was, uh, after...Ally"
