Say Okay (ON HOLD)

Chapter 35

Harry’s pov

I didn’t know what I was going to do or how I was going to do it, but I’m determined to do whatever it takes to show Esmea that I’ve changed and I’m the one for her. I’m the one that can keep her safe, show her that I can take care of both her and Darcy, show her that I’m better for her than Alex.

He doesn’t know her like I do. I bet he doesn’t even know what her favourite colour was let alone where she was originally from.

My thoughts were interrupted by my phone buzzing in my pocket. I took it out of my pocket to see that it was. For some reason I thought it might have been Amber telling me her reasons on why she left or for her to tell me where she was and that she was coming back.

It wasn’t it was Louis.

"Hey Lou what’s up?” I asked.

"Want to come hang out with boys at Niall’s house today?"

"Sure I’ll be over soon.” I replied.

"Bye Hazza."

"Bye Boo Bear."

2:30pm

"Guys I gotta go.” I said to the boys.

"Why?"Niall asked.

"I have to go pick up Trevor. I’ll bring him back after I pick him up if that’s alright."

"Okay Bye Hazza. “They all said in unison.

"Bye boys.” I said, grabbing my jacket before walking out the door towards my car.

Once I got to the school the bell went.

"Daddy. “Trevor yelled. I looked up to see him running over towards me.

"Hey bud.” I said picking him up before spinning him around, suddenly felt something grab onto my leg. I looked down to see Darcy smiling up at me.

"Hey Darcy.” I said placing Trevor on my hip before picking Darcy up as well.

"Hey Harry. How are you?"She giggled.

"I’m good Darcy, and yourself?"

"Good. “She said, nodding her head.

"Darcy where are you."I heard a male voice call.

Please don’t tell me it’s Alex.

"Unki Andrew. “She squealed. “Harry can you please put me down? “She asked looking up at me.

"Sure.” I said smiling.

"Hey Harry. “The man said.

"How do you know my name?” I asked.

"I’m Andrew, Esmea’s brother. Don’t you remember me?"

I looked at Andrew trying to see if I could remember him. I knew Esmea had a brother and I had met him briefly but I wasn’t sure of the name.

Wait now I remember.

"Oh yeah sorry man.I just didn’t recognise you."I replied shaking his hand.

"I need to talk to you about something? If that’s alright."Andrew asked.

"Sure.” I replied."Hey Trevor why don’t you and Darcy go play hop scotch or something.” I said to Trevor. He just nodded before grabbing Darcy’s hand.

"It’s about Esmea. “He said, nervously once Trevor and Darcy walked off.

"Is she okay?” I asked, panicked.

"Do you know a guy called Alex?"

"Yeah I do. Why?"

"I’m worried. He supposed to go on a date later on with Esmea tonight."

"Yeah I’m aware.” I replied, quietly.

"Harry I know you still have feelings towards her."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said. He didn’t need to know that.

I mean what’s that going to do?

"Harry look I don’t want to argue about this. To me what happened in the past is the past I only care about right now and right now I’m worried about Esmea going on this date or whatever you’d like to call it, with a guy that I don’t know anything about. Hell I don’t think Esmea even knows his last name."

"Mcfly."I said simply.

"Pardon?"

"His name is Alex Mcfly.I went to school with him back in the day.” I replied.

"Harry tell me he’s a nice guy, tell me he won’t hurt my sister.Please."Alex pleaded.

"I wish I could but I’d be lying to you."I replied, quietly.

"Oh god. “Andrew said, panicked.

I can’t blame him. I’d be the exact same if Gemma was going out with a guy that had a bad reputation.

"I need your help Harry. “Andrew said after a while.

"What can I do?” I asked.

"I need you to convince Esmea that Alex isn’t good enough for her. Tell her that she deserves someone that loves her enough to keep her safe, to care for her, to be there for her through the ups and downs, someone like you."

"Andrew she hates me.She won’t listen to me.She doesn’t want anything to do with me. I’ve screwed up any chance I had with her."

"That’s not true.You both have one thing in common that will never change no matter what."

"What’s that?” I asked.

"You both are parents. Take advantage of that. Show her that you’ve changed. Show her that you’re not the same person you were when she was seventeen."

"But how will I do that? She won’t even talk to me."

"You’ll figure it out Harry."

"Why does it have to be me? Why can’t you do it?”I asked.

"Because she will listen to you."

"Why would you think that?"

"Because she loves you Harry .I can tell. She misses you.She just scared. She hasn’t been herself."

"What do you mean hasn’t been herself?” I asked, nervously.

"She hasn’t been the same since the tour ended. “He said, quietly.

"No."I said.

"It’s true. It’s always been you Harry. She needs you."Andrew said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Okay. But I need your help.” I said, nodding my head.

"I’ll help you anyway I can.I’ll do whatever it takes to see my sister happy."

"I agree.” I said.
