From: Harry.<3

Cass, please, just talk to me?

I sigh as I read the millionth text from Harry in the past hour. He has constantly been texting me for the past three days, looking for me to meet him and just talk things through, but I’m not being pictured anywhere near him. Cause if Bella see’s us together, she is sure to hurt Sophia and Olivia worse than before.

“Aunt Cassie. Where are my shoes?” Sophia asks, coming up in her grey school skirt, white polo shirt and a red jumper over the top of it with the school crest printed over her heart.

“By the door, but Sophia you need to put your tights on, it’s still cold outside.” I say, lifting her tights of the radiator so they were warm for when she puts them on.

She slips them on, followed by her shoes, coat, and scarf and then puts her school bag on her back, soon followed by Olivia walking down the stairs looking exactly the same.

I take out my phone and reply to Harry’s message.

To: Harry.<3

How many times? No.

I know, I’m being harsh with him, but he needs to get it into his head that I don’t want to talk to him. If I do, I’m just going to run right back to him, and obviously that would not be good for any of us. I’m only thinking of the girls.

“Ready?” I ask, slipping my phone back into my pocket.

They nod and we leave the house, ready to drop them off for their first day of school.

“Sweetie, just meet him and see what he has to say.” Eden suggest, sitting down on the sofas at the place I spend all of my free time; Starbucks. I swear this place is my heaven.

“Eden, I know what he is going to sa-“

“What? What is he going to say Cassie?” she cuts me off, sounding pretty serious. The rae occasion when Eden Martin is being serious..

I sigh before replying.

“He’s going to say how much he misses me and loves me and wants me back, and how he would do anything in his power to protect the girls. That he wouldn’t let Bella anywhere near them and he wants everything to go back to normal.” I finish, taking a sip of my cookie frap.

“And that’s all true Cass. And I know you miss him too, so don’t even go by denying it. You miss him and you want everything to go back to normal too.”

“I’m not going to deny it. I do miss him, like hell Eden. But I’m only looking out for Sophia and Olivia. I’m not letting them get hurt again.”

“Whatever you want. Speaking of Sophia and Olivia. It’s half three now.” Eden says, checking her watch for the time.

“Shit” I mumble, putting my coat and scarf back on before lifting my bags. Bidding a goodbye to Eden, i lift my take-away cup, dashing out onto the cold and slippery streets.

“GIRL’S DINNER” I shout up the stairs to Sophia and Olivia before going back into the kitchen and pouring out three glasses of juice.

Just as I set them down on the table beside the plates of food, the girls come jumping in, sitting down and immediately digging in to the food.

“Aunt Cassie?” Sophia says, before taking a drink of her juice.

“Yes Sophia?”

“Where’s Uncle Harry?” She asks, putting a chip into her tiny mouth and chewing it, still looking at me expectantly, along with Olivia, waiting on my answer.

“Eh, he’s been busy with work” I lie. Well, it’s not really a lie because he might actually be busy with work. But from my part, what the truth is; is that I am ignoring him, refusing to talk to him. And I thought it would only affect me, but obviously I’m wrong. It’s affected them too. Harry used to always take them out for days at the park, or shopping. Or just something that would take over the boredom of Christmas holidays.

“Oh..” She says, again going back to her dinner, Olivia too.

Louis ( haven’t done his POV before:o)

“Harry. Dinner’s ready” I hear Liam shout into Harry’s room soon followed some footsteps down the stairs.

“He says he doesn’t want anything” Liam announces, sitting down on the sofa and lifting his plate, setting it on his knee and starts eating.

I sigh, doing the same as Liam.

It’s not like Harry to skip meals. In fact, it’s not like Harry to miss a day at the studio, or stay in his room all day. Harry, just isn’t being, Harry. It might be because the twins went missing. I haven’t heard anything of them being found again. But if they have been found, then it’s something else. I heard Bella was back in the picture again. Maybe it’s her? Or maybe it’s Cassie? Or maybe it’s something that nobody but himself knows. Either way, I’ll find out.
