Hey Angel - Harry Styles Series

A Phone Call - Part 55

You slide your finger to answer the phone. "H-hello?"

"Y/N." Harry whispers on the other line.

There was a bit of silence on your end for a bit as you prepared for what was to come in the phone conversation.

"H-How are you?" He asks.

You sigh. "Honestly I've been better. What about you?"

"I've been okay.." He says.

"How's Jackson?" you ask.

"He's great. He's having a lot of fun with my parents and other family that's came by to visit." He says.

"I'm glad the two of you are getting to spend time with family." You say.

"Yeah, how's Ella?" He asks.

"Do you want the truth or for me to sugarcoat it?" You say.

"The truth." He says.

"She's miserable. She doesn't want to play with her toys, she hardly eats, she's sniffles and whimpers all the day. She stares at the front door waiting for you and Jackson to walk through it. Today was the first day I was actually able to get through to her and have her been happy for a few hours. I can't believe that you just up and left her like that. How could you do that to her? She didn't deserve that! I didn't deserve that! You chose to be in her life and to love her like she was your own and then you just left... without even saying goodbye to her! You said that you loved me and now you think I'm one of the worst decisions you've ever made!" You cry.

"I-I never said that! You're one of the best decisions I've ever made." He sniffles.

"Then why did you leave us..." You whisper.

"It was just something that I needed to do for my son...for us." He whispers.

"And I get that, but the way you just came home and left again... without even talking to me about it. Did you even think about how it would be make me and Ella feel or how it would come off?" You sniffle.

"I know I didn't handle it great, but I just had all of these feelings and I just needed to get away. It was never really about you.. and I know that he seems like that, but it's not." He says.

"Funny way of showing it." you mumble.

He sighs. "I'm sorry Y/N and I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know that I hurt you and I know that I hurt Ella. I'll understand if you don't want to work this out, but I just want you to know that I'll be leaving at the end of the week and I want to come back home to you and talk about this in person. To fix what I broke this week." He whispers.

"So, once again this is all on your terms. You left because it was something YOU had to do. You had to leave because there were things that YOU had to work through. You left without talking it over with me because YOU had already made up your mind. You only called me today because YOU were ready. And now that you've decided to come back to me or whatever you want to fucking call it, you just expect me to welcome you back with open arms?" you say annoyed.

"No! I don't expect us to just go back to the way we were because I know that I hurt you, but I do want to try and get back there no matter how long it takes." He says.

"I do too, but right now at this moment... I'm just.. my emotions are too over the place and I need some time, okay? I'll call you later and let you and Jackson talk to Ella, she's napping right now and maybe then I can give you an answer but don't expect it." You say.

"Okay." He nods. "I-I love you."

"I love you too." You whisper.
