Chapter 24 "Things"

Michelle's P.O.V.

"wait what?!" i yelled down the phone "i know!" Niall yelled back

"So when am i gonna see you again?!" i asked. "i don't know" he sighed

I was a little mad that the boys were gonna miss Jady and Henry's birthday and Alison's, Aria's and Emma's graduation! (thank god they were on two separate dates)

"Wait but i thought Louis was Allie's date?!" i almost yelled. "Yeeeah...he's gonna have to tell her-" i cut him off

"HE HASN'T TOLD HER YET?!" i screamed "he's still trying to wrap his mind around it!" Niall yelled

There was a few moments of silence.

"Harry's-" i cut him off

"Harry?! Why are you telling me about Harry?! Why would i care about Harry?!" i yelled rather quickly...really quickly.

That didn't sound suspicious at all!

"because he's your friend...and he's my friend" Niall said slowly...too slowly.

I sighed with relief

He still doesn't know! few!

There was some more silence

then Lilly came into the kitchen wanting a class of water.

Saved bye the kid!

"I've got to go" i said quickly. "ok...bye" Niall said sadly.

"I love you" he said and i could tell he was smiling a bit. "love you too" i smiled a bit and then hug up the phone before he could sense my guilt.

I stood in deep thought until i couldn't take it anymore!

I broke down in tears.

The guilt was eating me from the inside out! i felt like i'd murdered someone!

No! worse! Because the victim was still alive and my partner in crime was living with him!

Harry could tell Niall about the 'thing' at any time and then Ni will hate Harry! We'll get a divorce and Lilly will either end up living with out a dad, with out a mom or moving from country to country every other month!

"Mom! whats wrong?!" Lilly asked, worried.

My head shot up!

Shit!

"Nothing!" i said wiping my tears.

I walked over to the cupboard and poured Lilly a glass of water.

"Go back to bed sweaty" i instructed and she walked out of the kitchen.

I sat at the kitchen table and sighed

As much as i wanted to tell Niall...i didn't want to ruin everything!

Niall's P.O.V.

"love you too!' Michelle said quickly and then hung up the phone

"What the hell?!" I said to myself

"What?!" Harry asked walking into the kitchen.

"Chell is just being wierd" i said looking down at the phone that was in my hand

"What do you mean?!" Harry asked confused "as soon as i mentioned you she flipped out!" I said really confused

I could feel Harry tense up.

At first i was a little curious but i quickly dismissed it.

"Well...i'm hungry...Harry...make me something!" i ordered.

Harry rolled his eyes and walked over to the fridge.

Harry's P.O.V.

I sat on my bed thinking

I can't keep it a secret anymore! i have to tell Niall! no matter what Michelle is threatening to tell Kendra!

Just then Liam walked in

"Hey we're-" he cut himself off and my head shot up

"whats wrong?!" he asked worried walking over and sitting next to me. "Nothing" i replied hoping he would go away...he didn't

"Harry! Odiously something is bothering you!" Liam said in concern

"Please Liam just leave me alone!" i said loudly and getting a bit annoyed

"Harry!-" i cut him off

I blew!

I couldn't keep it in any more!

(Amber was gone for a 'girls night out! (thank god))

"I KISSED-" i cut myself off

What am i doing?! i can't just scream it out! i can't tell anyone!

Liam's face went blank

"You didn't!" Liam said in shock

Shit! he caught on!

"Harry! your getting married in a couple of months! she's moved on!"

Wait! what?!

"I'm not just saying this because she's my ex too i'm saying this because I won't let you throw your reputation away!" Liam yelled

Wait! did he say ' my ex too'?!...oooh! he's talking about Kendra! not that i didn't kiss her too but i don't feel as bad about that one because i'm not sure if i want to follow through with the marriage! Not that i don't love Amber! it's just...Kendra was my first real love and i'll never forget what we had and what we can have again if i don't marry!

The room went silent

"This is almost worse that your dark years" (the two years i didn't contact Kendra or the kids) "lets not talk about that!" i snapped

"Kendra can't ever know about that!" i yelled

"Kendra?! you mean Amber!" Liam corrected me "shit! yes! i mean Amber!" i yelled falling backwards on my bed.

"Harry you don't" i cut him off "i'm going through with the wedding!"

...maybe
