Teenage Dreams (Harry Styles AU)

-Chapter 12

Harry's POV:

        It was after school and I was hanging out with Zayn. I haven't seen him in a little while because of how much time I've been spending with Samantha and Carter. I never thought that I could miss that annoying messy tattoo artist, but I surprised myself when I started to after not being home much for weeks. We were at our flat playing some video games on our X-Box. "I'm really happy for you man. Carter and Samantha are great." Zayn said. I smiled at his words but before I could answer my phone started to ring. I look down to see Carter's name and adorable face flashing on the screen of my phone. "Speaking of the angel." I laughed as I showed Zayn who was calling. Zayn laughed as he paused the game and waited patiently for me to take the call. 

       "Hey baby." I smiled and spoke happily into the phone. I know I saw her only a few hours ago at school, but I can't help it, I missed her and she makes me happy. "Hi." She says flatly making me instantly aware that something is wrong. "What's wrong?" I don't hesitate to ask. "Niall's here, Harry." She speaks slowly but clearly.

         I waste no time in getting up and heading for the front door. "I'm on my way." I quickly say before hanging up and turning the door handle. "What's happening?" Zayn worriedly asks. "I need to go, now. It's an emergency. I'll explain later." I quickly say while leaving our flat and then rushing out to my car. I rush into the vehicle and begin speeding to Carter's. The second that I park my car in her driveway I run inside the house and begin looking for Carter. I find her standing alone in the front room of her home.

           "Where is he? Where's Samantha?" I ask the moment I lay my eyes on her. Carter rushes over to me and holds my arms with her small hands. She strokes my arms and looks me dead in the eyes. "It's alright. Everything is ok. Niall left and Sam is with Louis and Liam today." She soothes me. My nerves gradually fade away as she speaks, but I am still very alert after all of the chaos that was just going on in my mind. "What happened?" I sighed and took her into my arms. My large tattooed arms squeezed around her short and tiny body. The feeling of her body pressed to mine, my head hiding in her hair right next to her neck and hers in mine is the greatest feeling of comfort that I had ever experienced. 

           "Niall came over and wanted to talk to me but I refused to and he kept begging me for just two minutes to talk and I gave in. Then he explained that if I want him out of Sam's life than he will respect that and leave. However, he wants me to know that if I ever changed my mind then he will be there. He just wanted to say his goodbye to me I guess." She explains. We pull apart from our embrace, but I keep myself close to her, feeling the need to protect her.

           "What a dick!" I shout with rage. "Well..." She hesitates. My blood begins to boil and my cheeks flash a deep shade of red. "You aren't actually thinking about getting back with him or letting him into Samantha's life, right?" I yell at her with fury. I don't think I have ever been this mad, but to be fair it's mostly that I'm hurt and giving everything I contain to protect those two girls. "Of course not! I just don't think that it's fair to keep Sammy's dad out of her life before she is able to make the decision for herself. If Niall hurts her then that's it, he's done, but doesn't Sam deserve to know her father? Believe me it kills me to give that man a chance, but it's not fair to Sam to push someone that is such a huge part of her creation out of her life without her permission. You don't get it Harry! If she grows up and wants to know her father and he isn't around because I told him he wasn't allowed to be, then she will blame me! She will hate me!" She screams back at me.

              It was scary seeing her like that, this was our first fight and I hated every moment of it. I understood her point of view completely and I knew that if Samantha grew up and wanted Niall around then it's Carter that Samantha will blame, but I can't help but to be crushed and furious all at once. My hands are held in fists by my sides, my jaw is clenched closed tighter than ever before and my eyes hold tears in them that have yet to be shed. I am a mess.

              "Niall is a terrible person for what he has done to you and Samantha! He doesn't deserve to get to know her! I've been here! Why can't she just be my daughter?" I scream at her, my voice dripping with emotion. I hated being vulnerable and letting Carter see me like that, but I couldn't hold the way that I feel in any longer. My body finally gives, and I break down. Tears leak down my face, my body racking with each loud sob that leaves my mouth. My knees begin to feel unstable and before I know it they give and I'm knelt in-front of Carter on the floor.

             She is quick to kneel next to me and wrap her petite arms around my weeping body. "I'm so sorry Harry that things are the way that they are, but as far as I'm concerned, Sam has an incredible father, because her father is you." She comforts me and it helps, though I continue to but with different kinds of tears. I control myself and slowly stop crying and wipe my face with the end of my shirt. "What?" I ask her. "Yeah. If you'll have us. I know that Sammy would love it. I know that our relationship has moved very fast, but I've known you for a long time. You've been my best friend for awhile and I trust you." She tells me.

          I smile widely at her. "Of course I'll have you and Samantha." I assure her as if asking me was just ridiculous, because it was. My smile grows as I stare at this beautiful girl and admire her smiling right back at me. "I love you." I speak those three words for the first time to her. Her smile grows and she is quick to respond. "I love you too." She squeaks in excitement. Our faces hold wild grins on them out of pure joy and love for one another. I grab her small face and pull her to me laying a big passionate kiss right onto her sweet lips that I love so much.
