Those Curls

Chapter 25

Broolkyn's P.O.V

It was Monday morning, and I had Lux and Sophie packed for their week with Harry. He said that he had bought Lux a crib and Sophie a bed, and that Caroline decorated their rooms herself. God I hate Caroline. I am really uneasy about letting Lux and Sophie spend a week with her, but if I don't want to be around Harry then I have no choice. I was the stupid one who trusted him and let him have custody of Sophie. I didn't really have a choice with Lux.

I heard a knock on the door and checked the time. 11:30 am, right on time. I went downstairs and opened the door to Harry and Caroline. Caroline didn't look to pleased to see me, but I just overlooked it.

"Hi." Harry said, sadly smiling at me. I tilted my head and Caroline shot me a very uncomfortable stare. I lifted my head up again, and moved away from the door.

"Hi. Come in." I walked back into the living room and knelt down next to Sophie. "Ready to go spend a week with daddy?" I asked Sophie and her face lit up. She ran over to Harry, but stopped in her tracks when she saw Caroline. Sophie looked up at Caroline and I wanted to start laughing right then and there, but I didn't.

"Mummy." Sophie turned around and ran to me. I close my arms around her and looked up at Harry.

"It's okay boo." I tried to soothe her. She took her head out of my chest, looked at Caroline again and slammed her head back into my chest. "It's okay." I said, and Harry walked over to us. He knelt down by us and started rubbing Sophie's back. I looked at his hand and it covered all of Sophie's back.

"Who tat?" Sophie asked Harry, her head still buried in my chest. Harry looked up at Caroline who had a very annoyed look on her face.

"That's my..." He took a deep breath, but made sure not to make it too noticeable. "My girlfriend." To my surprise heart dropped.

"Why not mummy?" She asked Harry. He looked up at me and into my eyes, but I looked dwon at Sophie. She was so small and confused. She didn't understand at all, but to be honest I didn't really understand myself.

"Haz, I have an interview in thirty minutes. We need to go." Harry nodded, stood up and went back to Caroline.

"Where's Lux?" He asked. I picked up Sophie and went into the kitchen where my mum was watching Lux in her play pen.

"Hey, mum. Harry's here to pick up the girls." She looked up at me and you could see she wasn't pleased.

"Alright honey." She went back to her book and I went over to Lux's play pen.

"Hi baby." I cooed. "Harry, come here." He walked into the kitchen and picked up Lux.

"Hi Luxy." Harry said, walking out of the kitchen with me following. "Ready?" He asked Caroline. She nodded and opened the door. We walked out to the car, and Harry had two car seats for the girls. I put Sophie in her seat and she started crying.

"No mummy!" She cried. It broke my heart, and then I realized she had never been away from me for a week, or more than three days. And she had stayed with people she was familiar with, but she wasn't familiar with Caroline.

"It's okay baby. Daddy will play with you and you'll have a good time. Don't forget to call me, okay? I love you both." I kissed her forehead and closed her door with Sophie screaming. It broke my heart, but I didn't have a choice. God this is going to be hard.

Liam's P.O.V

"Hello?" I answered my phone sleepily.

"Hey Li. Wanna do something today? Harry has the girls for a week so I don't really know what to do with myself." Brooklyn said through the phone. A smile appeared on my face, and I threw the duvet off my legs and stood up.

"Sure. What do you wanna do?" I asked, putting her on speaker phone. I took the phone into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth.

"I don't really care, but do you remember that day when we ditched school and just went around London?" She asked. I spit out the toothpaste and turned my toothbrush off.

"Yeah. Wanna do that with Zayn and Louis? I think Niall has something to do, but I can call and ask him." I said. I heard shuffling from Brookie's side of the phone, then she talked.

"Okay. I'll call Zayn and Louis. I'll call you when I'm ready, and we can wait for Lou to pick us up."

"Okay. Bye!" I hung up and grabbed a plaid shirt and jeans, slipped them on and went to brush my hair. I slipped into my shoes and grabbed my phone off the bathroom counter.

I walked downstairs and out the door, then walked to Brookie's house. I know she said she'd meet me, but I was done do I decided to go to her house. Today should be fun, and I hear Zayn has a new girlfriend.

Brooklyn P.O.V

I had just gotten out of the shower and was about to get ready to go after I had called all the boys when I heard a knock at the door. They can't be here already. I slipped one of Liam's old sweatshirts over my body and grabbed some sweatpants of his. I got into them and went to answer the door.

"Hello?" I asked, not looking at the person in front of me. I looked up and there was Liam. "Hey Li. I was just about to get ready."

"Okay, we'll I was done so I thought I'd come over. Is that okay?" He asked like it was a bad thing.

"You know your always welcome here." I smiled at him. He smiled back and I let him in.

"So that's where my favorite outfit went." He said looking over me. I suddenly got really insecure and put my arms over my chest.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go get dressed." I said, excusing myself to go upstairs and change. I went into my room and grabbed a short, denim shirt that tied in the front, then I had an idea. Niall said he was bringing his best friends from Mulligar, Louis was bringing Eleanor and Zayn had his new girlfriend, so why don't we got to the beach?

"Li!" I yelled downstairs. I heard Liam coming up the stairs and he opened the door. "What if we co to the beach? Spend a few days in my family's beach house?" I asked. Liam nodded and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah. I'm sure the boys haven't left, so I'll got give them a call. Then I'll go pack. We don't have anything to do at all this week, so let's stay a week." Liam said, leaving my room and pulling out his phone. I went into my closet and got my pink suitcase. I stuffed my favorite bikini in it, along with two others, and some crop tops. Shorts, heels, a dress incase we need to do something nice or something, and some converse. I'm packed, now to dress myself.

I looked at the remaining clothes on in my closet and saw my white tank top and floral print shorts hanging up. I grabbed them and slipped into them, then got my flat sandals and put them on. I went into the bathroom, combed my curls and stuck a white bow in it. I grabbed my sunglasses and my phone, and I was ready to go. I went downstairs and didn't find Liam. He must've gone home to pack.

"Hey mum?" I called upstairs. I heard her walking to the entrance of the kitchen, and when she got there she smiled at me.

"Yes baby?" She asked.

"Can I have the key to the beach house?" She nodded, went up to her office and came back with the key. It had a pink flip flop keychain on it, and the key was bright pink. She threw them down to me and I caught them with ease.

"There baby. When are you coming home?"

"I'll be back in a week. Then on the eleventh it's Lux's birthday, so we'll have the party at Nandos for her and Niall, too. You'll be out of town, right?" She nodded again and sighed.

"Yeah. Have fun." She waved to me and went back to her office. I heard a knock at the front door and grabbed my glasses my phone and my bag, then opened the door.

"Ready?" Liam asked. I nodded and we walked out to a big van. Everybody but Niall and his friend were in the car.

"Hi. I'm Brooklyn." I said to Zayn's new girlfriend when I got in the car.

"Hi. I'm LyLyan." She said, flashing me a smile. She was absolutely stunning with her almost bleach blonde hair and bright green eyes. I hate to say this but they were more beautiful than Zyan's eyes.

"Off to Niall's!" Louis told the driver. When we got there we saw Niall and his friend standing in front. His friend was.. She was beautiful.
