Chapter 6

Ste's POV

"When were you going to tell me?" Harry shouts as I walk into the kitchen after just waking up.

"What... Let me get coffee then we can talk." I say not understanding what I was meant to tell him.

"No, We are going to discuss this now." Harry says pull this cup away from me.

"Can't I wake up first" I say not wanting to talk before coffee.

"No because I get more sense out of you first thing in the morning." Harry said going to get our phones. He unlocked mine and showed the texts between me and John-Paul.

"What?" I say playing dumb.

"You have been sleeping with John-Paul behind my back." Harry says now angry.

"What is all the arguing about?" Tony says as he walks down stairs.

"It's too earlier for domestics" Diane said following Tony down the stairs.

"Ste has been cheating on me with his ex-husband." Harry says walking over to his dad.

"Ste is this true?" Tony asks. I hate that I cheated on him. Harry is 18 and engaged. He should be living his life and not like this. I just hung my head in shame.

"How long" Harry asks me as I stand in the kitchen with the Hutchinson's stood near the stairs.

"Does it matter?" Tony asks putting an arm around his son.

"It does to me. HOW LONG?" Harry shouts.

"What's going on?" Leah asks as she and Lucas walk into the living room and look between their dad and Harry. They stood at the bottom of the steps that separated the kitchen from living room

"Did you two know?" Harry asks them.

"Huh?" Lucas asks confused.

"Did you two know?" Harry shouts getting closer to the kids

"No they didn't." I shout back pushing him away from my children. They both cower behind me and grab a leg each. "They are only kids, my children. You do NOT shout at them."

"You have no right to tell me what to do." Harry says getting up in my face.

"I do when it comes to my kids. And speaking of kids, you are still one." I say in his face.

"I am 18..." he begins

"Exactly, you're 18. You're young. That's why I went back to John-Paul. You don't understand what marriage does to you. I lived my life with John-Paul. He was my life. We went through so much. He was raped, I got HIV, Drug abuse, death. Harry the only thing you should be worrying about is whose heart you're going to break next. You shouldn't be worried about me going on a bender and coming out dead. You shouldn't be worrying about a wedding. You shouldn't be worrying about getting a job and starting to grow up. Be young while you can. I had to grow up fast with my mum and step-dad. I went through hell and because of it, I had to grow up. I had to get 3 jobs just to pay the bills, I had to work late nights and do school. I had to go weeks without eating because Mum and terry took all the money for beer. I HAD to grow up Harrison. You can be young for as long as you want. I had to grow up and realise what I was doing to Amy. I had to grow up and be a father the my kids. I had to grow up because I had no one else." I say letting my emotions get the better of me. Tears were falling down my face. Harry looked at me with mouth open and so did the other Hutchinson's.

"Ste..." Tony started. I had never had an outburst like that. It probably scared then. They had never seen me like that.

"No. Leah, Lucas, go get dressed, I'll take you out for breakfast." I say to them and they run to their spare room to get ready.
