Harry:

It was currently 2 in the morning,i couldn't sleep.

I couldn't stop overthinking about the possibility of Kat hiding something from me,was she actually pregnant? I shouldn't even be thinking about any of those options but sadly,that's all my mind is focused on.

I don't want to jump into any conclusions,i just wan't to know the truth.I looked beside me and noticed that Katie was still sound asleep,her snores were quiet and she looked so peaceful.I then realised that her phone was next to her on the bedside table,the information were all in there.I couldn't do this to her or to our relationship,or our trust would be completely broken.But i can't help but think about the messages that my mother had sent to Kat last night,it is still lingering in my head.

I slowly got up from the bed,walking out of the bedroom and heading to the kitchen in this hotel room.I poured myself a glass of warm water,taking a huge sip,instantly feeling so much better.Why was i stressing out at this hour? I should be asleep right now but instead i'm overthinking about news that could possibly be false.

I then heard a phone ringing and realised that it was coming from the bedroom but it wasn't mine but it was Katie's,who could be calling her at 2 in the morning? I immediately walked to the bedroom and noticed that she was still sound asleep,and so i went to check who was calling her at this hour and saw that it was my sister.

Why would Gemma be calling her at this time ? Wait- the timezones but still,i quietly took her phone and answered it quickly so that it wouldn't wake Kat up.

"Gems?" I said to her as i walked out of the bedroom,quietly entering the kitchen, "H-Harry..?"  i frowned at the tone of her voice.

Why does she sound so nervous ?

"Why are you calling Kat at this time ?" I asked her curiously and i heard her clear her throat.
"I just wanted to uhm-thank her for coming to my launch party." said Gemma quickly and i bit the insides of my cheek out of annoyance.

Everyone was acting so suspicious and i needed to know the truth right now.

"Gemma,just cut the crap already and tell me why you're calling Kat." I told her sternly and the other side of the line went quiet.

Something was wrong.

"Gemma what the fuck? Can u answer me." I added,raising my voice a little.

I was getting impatient and angry now because i don't know how i'd feel if i found out that even my loved ones were lying to me.

"H-harry,i need you to just listen to me.I can't be the one telling you this." she answered nervously and i scoffed,already feeling even more pissed off knowing that she knew something that i didn't.

"I don't care who is supposed to be telling me,i want to hear it from you."

"Harry, please ju-" said Gemma,
"Tell me Gemma.Tell me right now." I said,cutting her off and she sighed out

what was it that she was hiding?

"You are stressing me out Harry,i can't tell you-" i groaned out in frustration.

"GEMMA FOR FUCKS SAKE." I shouted in anger, this time not giving a fuck if i woke Katie up.
The line was then silent,just the sound of Gemma softly crying.

Why was she even crying..?

"K-Katie is pregnant."

Katie:

I was woken up by Harry's voice coming from the kitchen,he sounded angry.Who was he talking to this early in the morning? With my eyes still halfway closed,i reached out to the night stand grabbing my phone but then realising that it wasn't there.

I remember placing my phone on the table before i slept and now it isn't there.My heart started racing immediately when i realised one thing,Harry has my phone.I instantly walked out but stopped in my tracks when i heard his voice more clearly, "I don't care who is supposed to be telling me,i wan't to hear it from you." i heard Harry said,i furrowed my eyebrows with confusion as i continue to hear the conversation coming from the kitchen.

Who was he even talking to? He was using my phone and just the thought of it is giving me major anxiety. What was he talking about ?

"Tell me Gemma.Tell me right now." He said sternly.

Fuck,i totally forgot that Gemma said that was she was going to call me early in the morning so that Harry wouldn't be awake when we could talk about the baby.

I then heard him groan in frustration before something unexpected happened.
"GEMMA FOR FUCKS SAKE." He shouted unexpectedly with so much anger in his voice,i flinch instantly.

I've never seen him this angry before and it really scared me.Just as i was about to enter the kitchen to calm him down,i noticed that his face dropped.He looked like he had just see a ghost and the atmosphere in the room had just became dull,completely sucking out all the colour in this room.This didn't feel right,i should go to him.I slowly walked into the kitchen and he was body was stood still.

"H-Harry..?"i called and he ended the call,slowly placing my phone down on the wooden counter next to him.He gulped and then turned his body facing me,his eyes formed with tears.

He knew.

"You lied to me.."he whispered as the tears streamed down his face,i couldn't say anything.As much as i would like to answer back and defend myself , i shouldn't because Anne told me not to.

"Harry-"

"How could you possibly think that it was okay for you to do something like that? You even got my family involved into this,do you even care about how i feel?" He questioned,his face was already becoming red from all the anger and hurt.My heart broke as i watched him cry.

"I was going to tell yo-" i tried to tell him but he slammed his hand on table next to him,making me flinch in fear.My eyes started to form with tears as well,i've never felt so scared of him.

"BUT YOU DIDN'T." He shouted angrily.

fuck.Anne wasn't kidding when she said his anger could really take over him.

"How do you think i'm supposed to react to this news ?! You act like as if it's nothing important,you were so normal about it.Have you thought about how i would feel about all this? Fucking hell Kat." Said Harry with so much anger in his voice and i started crying.

how could he say such a thing ?

"Obviously i care about how you feel Harry! Do you even know how much i've been dreading this moment? I am terrified Harry,terrified.How could you say that that i act as if it's not important,I'm dying inside just knowing that this is how things are going to be.You think it's easy for me?" I said as i walked closer to him,pointing my index finger to his chest.I was furious because i was emotional and i know Anne said not to talk back but what he had said,really hurt me.

He kept his eyes fixed on me,i couldn't read his expression but i knew he was feeling sad and angry.
"The fact that you brought my family into this,they shouldn't know about this."i furrowed my eyebrows at his choice of words.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

"They shouldn't know about this? Are you being serious right now? I only found out i was really pregnant because your mom had reached out to me first,she bought the test Harry.If you think your own family shouldn't know about this then we might as fucking well not tell anyone else in this world right ? Let's just keep this baby a secret,doesn't that sound bloody insane?" I scoffed and i watched him took a step in front of me,his eyes never leaving mine as his chest rose up and down from how hard he was breathing.

"I'm not ready to have a baby."

and with that,he stormed out of the hotel room. Slamming the door harshly,leaving me standing here alone feeling like the world's biggest loser.I've never felt so alone in my life until this very moment.I never prepared myself mentally for this to happen because i never pictured any of this happening especially from him but,It did.
