Those Curls

Chapter 11

Harry's P.O.V

"In my living room?" Brooklyn dropped her phone and ran to me. Did she really miss me for a day and a half?

"Hey Brooklyn." I kissed her cheek, and let her go. As soon as a I let go of Brooklyn, Sophie came running down the stairs.

"Daddy!" She jumped into my arms and her smile was so big. I grabbed her and pulled her close to my chest. I had missed her so much, even though we were apart for one day.

"Hi Sophie." I kissed her cheek, and she kissed mine. I put her down, and she ran over to the couch. She started jumping up and down, and her curls went everywhere.

"What are you doing here?" Brooklyn turned to me and crossed her arms.

"I missed Sophie. And you." Her lips parted to a smile, but it quickly went away.

"Then why did I move? The point of moving was so Sophie could stay away from all of you boys. I know Liam and Louis are pretty sad about all this. And Niall and Zayn called me last night. They were pretty messed up too. Sophie has been a part of their life, and I had to move to protect her. I just want to know one thing Harry. Why did everyone jump to conclusions after you found out about Sophie?" Yeah, why did they all jump to conclusions after I found out? I hadn't done anything, but I mean, when we were outside Louis' apartement it would be hard not to see Sophie wasn't my daughter.

"I didn't tell anyone anything if that's what your saying!" I said defensivley. She gave me a look like I was stupid and walked away to Sophie.

"Are you hungry Soph?" Sophie nodded and Brooklyn picked her up. She went into the kitchen and I followed her. "What do you want Sophie?" Brooklny set Sophie down on the counter and I jumped up on the counter next to her.

"Carrots!" She screamed, hurting my ears.

"God. She has definently spent time with Lou." I smiled, and Brooklyn looked back at me from the fridge.

"Yeah. Uncle Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn." She smiled and started digging in the fridge again.

"I miss Uncle Wiam." Sophie said in the silence. Brooklyn looked back at me and sighed. She grabbed the bag of carrots and went to the counter next to me.

"Well, Uncle Liam can't come here." She said. I got off the counter and got a small bowl out for Sophie.

"But Dwaddy cwame hewe." She protested, standing up on the counter and walking over to Brooklyn.

"I know, but Liam's busy and he just can't, Sophie." Brooklyn snapped at her.

Sophie's eyes filled with tears and she jumped down off the counter. She ran upstairs and I looked back at Brooklyn.

"I didn't mean it." She said, dropping the glass bowl and falling on her knees. It shattered right as she hit the ground and I knew it cut her thighs.

I know she has been under a lot of pressure, but I didn't know how much. I guess Liam is a touchy subject because he was her bestfriend and she had to leave him.

"Don't cry." I bent down and picked her up out of the broken glass. She was shaking and buried her head into my chest. I carried her to the living room and sat down on the couch with Brooklyn still in my lap. She kept sobbing into my chest, and I rubbed small circlels in her back. That used to calm her down before.

"I didn't mean it." She mumbled into my chest. She had calmed down some, but she still made small whimpering noises and little hiccups once in a while.

"I know. Your under a lot of stress, and you don't know about work down here, or who will watch Sophie and your scared." I kissed the top of her head and she looked up at me.

"Why did I move?" Her gorgeous light blue eyes had tears in the rims, and she looked so helpless.

"To get away, but you need to be with us." I said before realizing I was the cause of her pain. She had to move away and leave everyone, all because of me. "I'm sorry Brooklyn." I said, pulling her closer.

"For what?" She asked, breaking my grip and sitting in my lap.

"I made you move, and now your going to move back, right?" She looked down at her hands and back up at me.

"Yeah, but you were trying to do what's best for Sophie." She smiled and kissed my cheek. We both stood up and went up to Sophie's room. "Speaking of Sophie." She said before opening the door to Sophie's door.

Sophie was sitting on her bed with nine dolls. There were four boys and five girls. We stared walking in, and I noticed something about the boys dolls. They were the One Direction dolls- Except I wasn't there. I looked over at Brooklyn and her face went a shade darker. She sat down on Sophie's bed, and Sophie turned the other way.

"Please talk to me." I asked and Sophie looked at me and nodded.

"Okway." You could hear she had been crying by her voice.

"Mummy didn't mean it yell at you. Can you forgive her?" I asked sitting down on her bed. She put down her dolls and crawled over to me. She looked at Brooklyn and I could see Lyn's eyes tear up.

"Please Boo?" Brooklyn asked. Sophie smiled and nodded. Brooklyn opened her arms and Sophie went over to her. They hugged it out, and I picked up Sophie.

"Now to get packing." I looked around Sophie's room and I didn't know if Brooklyn's old flat would fit all of this stuff in it.

"Where ah-we goin'?" Sophie asked.

"We're going home Boo." Brooklyn said and Sophie smiled.

"Here, hold Sophie." I handed Sophie off to Brooklyn and headed downstairs. I dialed Niall's number and it started ringing. I had a plan.
