Precious (Harry Styles)

FIFTY ONE

"Harry...calm down please!" Jay said.

Harry was upset.

"No! Daddy don't go! Don't leave me! I'll be a good boy, I promise! Daddyyyyyy!" Tears were streaming down Harry's cheeks as he pulled his hair.

"Harry stop it, you'll hurt yourself!" Gemma added, trying to pull his hands away.

"Daddy hates me! He hates me!" He yelled.

"Harry...listen to me..." Louis said. He'd been in the bedroom,  packing a bag, when he heard Harry screaming.

"...I'm only going until tomorrow night.  Gran, Gem and Ni are here, they're going to look after you. You won't be alone. Please calm down, preious." Louis pulled Harry's hands from his hair, his scalp looked a bit red and sore, so Louis rubbed it.

They sat on the floor, and Harry fell into Louis' arms, being gently rocked to calm him down.

"Shhh...Shhh. it's ok. You're ok."

"You...you going c-cos you h-hate m-me." Harry stuttered, his nose running.

"I don't hate you. I love you so much. I just need a night away darling. I promise I'll be home before you go to sleep tomorrow night. Daddy just needs to go look after Grans cat for a bit. You don't want it to be lonely, do you?"

Harry shook his head. "You c-could get Jim and b-bring him h-here." He sniffed.

Jay's cat, Jim, was an older cat, and wasn't too friendly.

"Harry...I don't think that's a good idea. He wouldn't like your Kitty. You don't want them fighting do you?" Jay asked,  knowing what a grumpy old bugger her cat was.

"N-no. But-but I'll miss you Daddy." He whimpered, grabbing Louis' shirt tighter.

"And I'll miss you too. But...you'll have everyone else. They're gonna make sure you're ok. Can you be a good boy for me and let me go?"

Harry nodded. "I be good boy. Promise." Louis smiled, looking up at Jay.

"Come on then mister...let Daddy go get his bag."

Harry reluctantly let go of his Daddy, and they stood up.

Harry followed Louis to his bedroom.

"You know Daddy loves you so much? My love for you runs a million times around the earth."

Harry grinned, wiping his nose on his sleeve. Ew.

"That's a lot isn't it?"

"It sure is! Now..I'm done."

He took his bag in one and, Harry's hand in the other and went downstairs.

"Ready Lou?" Jay asked.

"Yep. I'll call when I get there. Thanks for this Mum." He gave her a big hug and kissed her cheek.

"Niall...try not to annoy everyone too much!" He grinned.

"What do you mean? I'm not annoying!" Niall said, pretending to be shocked.

"Gem...look after them?"

"Of course. Don't you worry, just go get some rest." Louis smiled.

"Harry...my precious. You promised you'd be good. Don't break it." Harry nodded. "I'm gonna call Gran later, so I can say goodnight to you, ok?"

"Yes D-Daddy. I...I will miss you." He said sadly.

"I'll miss you too. Be good." He hugged Harry tight and kissed his forehead.

"Right, I'll see you all tomorrow. I love you."

Louis went to his car, putting his bag in the boot. He got inside, and shut the door, putting his seatbelt on.

He gave one last look to his family, standing at the door, waved, and drove off.

"Daddy!" Harry whispered, before turning around and running to the sofa, throwing himself it and started crying again.

Jay sat next to him, and rubbed his back. "Don't cry love. He won't be gone for long. You promised you'd be a good boy remember?" Harry nodded.

"We're gonna have fun Harry. We're gonna play lots of games, and the weathers nice, we can go to the park!" Niall said.

"The p-park?"

"Yes...we can go later if you want?"

Harry's eyes lit up. The park was one of his favourite places. "Go now?"

"It's a bit early Harry...how about we go after lunch?"

"Can we have lunch now?"

Gemma laughed. "Its only 10 o'clock. Bit early for lunch."

"But...but I'm hungry now. Can I have lunch early please?" Harry was practically begging.

Niall smiled. His brother was too damn adorable sometimes.

"We could play footy in the garden til lunch?" He offered.

"Ok...I guess we could do that."

Niall went and grabbed his football from a cupboard. "Come on then."

They both went outside and started kicking the ball about.

Jay and Gemma sat in the kitchen, watching the two boys.

"Thanks for letting Dad go to yours. I'm so worried about him. Harry's been such a handful lately." Gemma said, sipping her coffee.

"Its no problem. I can see how tired he's looking. Just wish there was more I could do."

"Being here is a big help Gran. " Gemma patted her hand.

"So...How is uni?"

"Oh..its great. Not long til graduation now. You are coming aren't you?"

"Of course. Wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm so proud of you. You're gonna make a great nurse."

"Thanks Gran. I just wanna help Harry more. It'll ease things for Dad too. It's all I've ever wanted to do."

"You're such a wonderful young woman." Jay said, her heart full of love.

"OWWWWWW!"

"Oh god..what's happened now?" Gemma said, hearing Harry scream from the garden, as the two of them raced outside.

"What's  wrong?" Jay asked.

"I hurt my knee." Harry cried. Jay moved his hand to see his knee with a nasty cut, covered in blood.

"I'm bleeding Gran!"

"It's ok, don't worry.  Let's get you inside and cleaned up.

Niall and Gemma helped Harry inside and sat him at the kitchen table, while Jay got the first aid kit.

"Owwww....it hurts!" Harry grumbled as Jay cleaned the cut.

"It's not too bad...not a deep cut. A plaster should do the trick."

Jay put a spiderman plaster on his knee and kissed it. "All mended. You're so brave Harry!"

Harry smiled. "Thank you Gran. Can we have lunch now?"

Everyone laughed.

Hi...how is everyone?

Hope you're ok and staying safe.

Anyone looked at my new book yet? "Lockdown!"

Have a nice day take care.

All the love 💖💖💖
