Proving Our Love

Chapter 42 - Through the Dark

* Issy's POV *

I shut the door behind me, beginning to walk down the stairs, but getting another discomforting pain in my stomach as I attempted to make my way down the steps, causing me to wince as I reached the bottom of the them.

I could hear Harry and Matt laughing and making conversation from the living room, which made me smile as I walked back into the kitchen.

" Did he talk to you Issy?", my mom asked, facing me as she turned off the stove.

" Oh yea he talked to me alright. Mom it's not even worth it anymore, he's not gonna listen to me he's just gonna keep this grudge over me for as long as he can", I told her, before speaking up again. " Hes so rude and is saying that I went and screwed around and that all of what happened is my fault. He just constantly says these hurtful things to make me feel guilty but he's my father how could he bash on me and my boyfriend like that", I said, running my fingers through my hair.

" He said something about Harry?", she asked me, giving me a sympathetic look.

" His exact words were ' why don't you go screw around with your famous boyfriend instead of wasting your time on your old man', I repeated, rolling my eyes as his false statement left my mouth.

" Oh honey he doesn't mean to say those things he's just saying them out of anger. There's no reason for him not to like Harry when he hasn't even gotten to know him yet, don't worry", she said, brining me into her arms.

"Mom you don't understand, I have to worry. I thought that when he saw me again for the first time in three months, all his hatred and anger that he had would of faded away, but it didn't, he's still acting the same way. He can talk about me all he wants but I don't appreciate how he spoke about Harry", I told her, while crossing my arms over my chest.

" Sweetheart all he said was the word famous why does that bother you so much?", she asked, looking into my eyes, seeing I turned my head.

" Because Mom! That's all I ever hear anymore. Oh your boyfriend is famous oh your only with him because of his money and fame it's so annoying. Nobody can ever look at him as a normal person like I can. I always get accused and sent hate from people believing I'm only with him in result of that so it pisses me off when it comes up. Why cant anybody just accept that we are happy. I dont need this right now. Its not fair to him he was so nervous about meeting you guys and now Dad had to go and act that way towards us", I said, sitting down on the chair.

" Issy nobody here is thinking that way. I'm your mother and I know that's not the reason you are with him you don't need to defend yourself to me. We all understand that. You can't control the way you fall for someone it just happens. You've loved that boy since you were a teenager. Don't listen to what your father said if you know deep in your heart that its not true. His opinions do not matter right now honey. I see Harry just like a regular person as does everyone else I hope. I'm sorry you have to go through hearing all that nonsense my love. The only thing that makes him stick out from the rest is how he chose the most perfect girl in the world to be with, you", she said, looking into my eyes as she smiled.

" I love you mom", I said, hugging her as she bent down to embrace me, before pulling away so she could see my face.

" I love you too sweetheart. Now I made some appetizers for everyone there are some cheese and crackers along with some fruit over in the living room with Harry and your brother if you want some" she told me, helping me stand up.

" Alright. I think I'm just gonna lay in my room for a while", I told her.

" Okay dinner should be ready in a couple hours let me know if you get hungry before then", she replied as I began to walk, but then stopped in my tracks.
