Chapter 11 - Nicole Penelope Jackson

Chapter 11

*****

(Mae's POV)

I had just finished my phone call with Caroline. I wiped my eyes so that my eyes weren't teary and turned around, to see Harry. Angry written all over his face.

"Who is Caroline and why was she calling you?" he asked, trying to hide the angry tone in his voice but failing. "She's just a friend from senior year. She was just wondering if, if uhm she wanted to have coffee some time..." I lied to Harry.

His eyes soften and he loosened up from his tense body. I felt really bad for lying but what would Harry think of me if he knew the truth?

(Harry's POV)

I knew Mae was lying, but I also knew that sooner or later I would figure out the truth. "Oh, okay. Shall we finish our dinner then? M' lady." I asked her in a very gentlemen way. "We shall." she said before sliding her arm into mine.

The rest of the night was okay. We didn't mention anything about the call, so Mae was probably relieved. But we did talk about other things too.

We had just finished our food and was heading back to the hotel. The night was still young and I had just gotten a text from Liam telling me that they were still at the club. Good, that gave me and Mae some time to talk.

I slid the card into the slot of our hotel room and opened the door. I was sharing my room with Mae which was even better. I took off my jacket and threw it on the bed, Mae had plopped down on the couch in the lounge room.

I grabbed 2 cans of cream soda from the fridge and handed one to Mae. We were watching The Last Song and Mae's head was snuggled up in the crook of my neck. She seemed like she was about to fall asleep but before she could I shook her a little. "Mae? Can I ask you something?" I asked politely. "Sure, anything you want babe." she responded.

"Well I feel like your hiding something away from me." I confessed to her. I felt her tense a little beside me, "Why would I hide something from you? Silly Billy!" she told me. I need to know what's wrong with her, why is she lying to me? "Mae" I said in a very serious voice. "You need to tell me what's wrong. I could see right through you." wow, I sound so much like Liam right now.

(Mae's POV)

Harry was being serious and I couldn't lie to him anymore, I had to tell him the truth. Just not now. "Listen, Harry I've just been in some crazy stuff lately. I promise I will tell you, just not now." I confronted him. He let out a loud sigh in defeat and just continued watching The Last Song...

(Harry's POV)

I didn't want to push Mae anymore. She would tell me soon anyways. It's just I feel like I should know what's wrong with her right now. I don't want her to hide anything from me anymore.

When I finally heard her snoring I went to get up quietly not trying to wake her up. I was going to get a snack from the kitchen but then I heard Mae's phone go off. She was getting a phone call from Caroline.

Since she was asleep I went to go pick up her phone from the coffee table. "Hello?" I said. "Hi, can I talk to Mae?" Caroline asked me. "Actually she's sleeping right now. Can I ask you a question though?" I told her. "Oh, and this is Harry. Her boyfriend..." I mentioned. She politely said sure and I continued on with my question. "Well... Mae has been kinda different lately after she got a call from you. Care to explain?" I said.

"Oh. Uhm, I shouldn't be telling you this but, uh-" she got cut off by a person talking. "Aunt Caroline where's mommy?" I heard the little voice say. "Caroline? Who was that? And don't lie." my voice was beginning to get dark and low. "Listen Harry, I will tell you but you promise me that you won't tell Mae?" she paused waiting for an answer from me, "mhmmm" was all I can say.

"Ok, when Mae was 14 she got pregnant.... and well Nicole Penelope Jackson was born. She's now four and wants her mom. I'm Mae's cousin and i'm 27, I took care of Nicole ever since she was born, Mae never wanted anything to do with Nicole so I am her aunt." she explained. And that's when I hung up the phone and went to bed... crying.
