From The Moment I Met You

One Secret Gone, About A Million Left

*Liam's POV*

I have alot to explain so I took out the letter I found first of all. I hand it over to Haley to read and she begins aloud:

Dear Karen,

I apoligize and take full responsibility for what happened. We shouldn't have gone out that night. I shouldn't have given you so many drinks. I know you wish you could keep Haley but it would be too hard on Geoff. I promise to take the best care of her and make sure she grows up a happy life. I don't know if you plan to tell Liam when he's older or not but it is up to you. I just don't want Haley to grow up and find out her mother isn't really her mother if I ever get married. I wish you the best in the future and I think it is best if this is the last time we speak. It's better for all of us. 

Yours always, 

Derek

I look at Haley and I can see the tears in her eyes. I pull her chair over next to me and hug her. "I know it's really confusing right now but I promise everything will be okay. You are my little sis after all."

She wipes her tears and looks at me. "Do you know anything else about how all this happened?"

"Well, I went to talk to my dad and he said it happened about two years after I was born. Him and my mother had gotten in a big fight and she had gone out to a bar in anger. Your father was there. He wasn't married back then and he was upset after a breakup so he bought my mother a drink. Then she asked for another. And eventually they got out of hand and went back to his place together."

She nods understanding and I force myself to continue. "When my dad found out they got in another big fight but worked it out in the end. Your dad, Derek, and my mother agreed never to speak again and haven't seen each other since. Thats why your mother looked suprised to see me cause she didn't know we knew each other. And it was supossed to stay that way for this reason."

I knew it was a lot for her to take in so I sit there hugging her and let her cry.

*Louis' POV*

Im just making some tea when I hear something buzzing. I reach in my pants pocket and see Eleanor's cell phone. It must have fallen in last night. I'm just about to put it away when I see the name Brad. Who is he and why would he be texting Eleanor? I decide to just take a look and when I look I resist the urge not to throw the phone.

The text reads: Hey! You still haven't texted me back. Text back babe! Love, Brad.

I slam the phone shut and put it in my pocket again. Whoever this Brad guy is, he is going to wish he never sent that text. I don't even know what I am going to say to Eleanor. I'm so angry right now that I don't think about it. I grab my keys and leave the flat to go to Eleanor's place. 

*Zayn's POV* 

I'm at a cafe in London to see Perrie cause she wanted me to come but I'm not sure why. When I walk in she waves for me to come over. I walk over and when I sit down I know something bad is going on.

"Hey. Whats up?" I ask brightly.

"We have a problem. That girl Haley? The one you brought to the VIP meeting. I think she knows something about us." she looks worried.

I try to take deep breaths, "Theres no way she could know. Trust me. I haven't told anyone. But... well, is there a way we could end all this lying?" I have to whisper in case anyone is listening.

"No!" She says then realizes how loud she is and quiets down to a whisper again. "Zayn, nobody can ever know. Promise me you won't tell."

I know I can't truley promise that so I think of a plan to get out of it. At least for a while. I know Perrie will get mad but it's all I can do right now. So I stand up grab Perrie and kiss her forcefully until the cameras find us and in the midst of all the people and camera flashes I sneak out and run to my car without anyone noticing. I have to talk to Haley.
