《Kayden (Larry Stylinson)》Chapter Twenty Two
Advertisement
A week has gone by, and Kayden has been acting weird since that morning Harry came over before school. She is never in a bad mood this long. She is such a naturally happy child that when she is sad, it confuses me. Harry has to leave in one more week for his tour. I'm hoping that she snaps out of it soon so she can enjoy the time she has left with him.
Harry and I decided to let her have a sleepover at his house tonight to see if maybe it would brighten her up. When I had picked her up from school and told her, I actually got a smile out of her. However, it faded soon after it appeared. Whenever I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she didn't want to talk about it. I really didn't want to push, but if she doesn't cheer up by next week I'm going to have to take her to the doctor.
It is now Friday night and since Harry has Kayden, I decided to go get a drink with Zayn. We're at a bar just talking. I'm only having two beers because I need to be able to drive home.
"You know," Zayn says, "That guy over there has been checking you out this entire time."
I turned around to see who he is referring to. He was right. A guy, probably about mid-twenties with dirty blonde hair, is staring at me. When I looked at him, he didn't even try to play it off as if he wasn't. He simply winked. I turned back to Zayn quickly.
"Not my type." I said simply.
"You mean hot?" He asked. "Hot is not your type?" I shrugged. "Oh, I get it. He isn't about 5'11". He doesn't have brown curly hair and green eyes." He said with a smug look.
"Oh shut up." I told him. "I'm just not interested."
As I said that, the bartender brought over a drink. "That man over there bought this for you." He said. I turned and looked at the man who was staring at me. He raised his glass up. I sent him a sad smile.
"No, thank you." I said, pushing the drink back. "Please tell him I have a boyfriend and that I'm not interested."
The bartender nodded and took it back. Zayn looked at me smugly.
"Boyfriend huh?" He said. "Is there news that you haven't told me yet?"
I sighed. "No. I just didn't want that guy hitting on me." I answered. Just then my phone started to ring. I looked down and saw it was Harry.

"Speaking of the boyfriend." Zayn said.
"Not my boyfriend." I corrected again.
"You keep telling yourself that." He winked.
I rolled my eyes and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Louis!" Harry sounded panicked. "Lou I hate to bother you but you need to come here."
I stood up instantly, taking out my wallet and throwing cash down on the bar.
"What's wrong Harry?! What happened?" I asked him. I really didn't like his tone.
"Niall was here. He- he brought up my tour. K-Kayden heard him." He stuttered. "She is inconsolable Lou. I need you here."
"I'll be right there." I said, hanging up the phone. I turned to Zayn. "Something upset Kayden. I have to go."
Zayn nodded. He told me to go and to text him to let him know if I need anything. I ran out to my car and jumped in. I sped off towards Harry's house, probably breaking every traffic law in existence on the way there.
"Where is she?!" I asked as soon as I got inside.
Harry pointed towards the couch where Kayden was curled up and crying. I immediately ran over to her and she jumped into my arms.
"Daddy!" She sobbed.
"Baby. Princess. What's wrong?!" I asked her, looking her over to make sure that she wasn't physically hurt anywhere.
"H-Harry." She cried. "H-He is l-leaving me a-again. D-don't let him l-leave me again!" Harry was right. She really was inconsolable, but one thing caught my attention. Apparently it caught Harry's too.
"Again? Baby, what do you mean again?" I asked her while Harry walked over to us.
"H-he left me a-and now h-he is leaving a-again." She stuttered.
"Kayden, why are you being like this? You don't act like this with Uncle Zayn."
"UNCLE ZAYN ISN'T MY DAD!" She screamed. Harry and I quickly turned to look at each other with shocked looks on our faces.
"Kayds" Harry said softly. "Princess, I'm not leaving you. I never left you. I didn't know about you and when I found out about you, all I wanted to do was be around you."
Kayden looked at me with tears in her eyes. I knew she was looking for me to tell her the truth. "Baby, Harry is right. Remember I told you? He didn't know about you. He just found out recently."
"S-so it's true?" She said to Harry. "Y-you're my f-father?"
You could clearly see the tears building in Harry's eyes. He nodded and reached for her hand. When she gave him it, he pulled her in closer to him.

"I am." He told her. "And I promise you, if I had known sooner, I would have been here. But we can't think about that. I know now and I'm here. That's what matters, right?"
Kayden smiled for a second and nodded softly, but then grew sad again. "But you're leaving." She said looking at the ground.
"Only for a couple of months." He told her. "And while I'm away, you and Daddy can come visit me. Would you like that?"
She looked at him and smiled a genuine smile. "YES!" She said excitedly. "And will you come back here after?"
"Of course. I will come back here as soon as I am done and I will make sure to see you every single day." He promised.
"Kayden." I said softly. "How did you know Harry is your father?"
She sniffled. "I heard you and Uncle Zayn talk about it the other night." She said sadly. "The loud noise woke me up and when I went to see what it was; you were already talking to him."
I thought back on the conversation I had with Zayn. I realized that it was also around the time where she started to act strangely.
"Oh sweetie." I wrapped my arms around her. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"It's okay Daddy." She said. "Can we watch a movie?"
"Yes." Harry and I said in unison.
We piled up on the couch, Kayden in between Harry and I. K chose Minions for the movie so we were all laughing at it. About half way through the movie, she turned to Harry.
"Harry?" she asked.
"Yes babe?"
"What do I call you? I mean, you're my dad. But I already have a dad."
He looked at me as if he didn't know what to say, but I decided to let him handle this one.
"You can call me whatever you want love." He told her softly.
She thought for a second. "Can I just keep calling you Harry for now?" She asked.
I could see the pain flash across his face, but he covered it well. "Sure sweetheart." He said. "Anything you want."
She smiled at this and we went back to watching the movie. A short while later, Kayden was sleeping soundly with her head on Harry's lap, and her legs across mine. I lifted her up and carried her to Harry's guest room. We both tucked her in, kissed her forehead, and quietly left the room.
"Well," Harry said as soon as we were out of earshot. "That isn't exactly how I planned that."
"You and me both." I said tiredly. "I can't believe she knew for the past week and didn't say anything. I should have checked if she was awake before I had that conversation with Zayn. I'm so stupid."
Harry grabbed me by the shoulders. "Hey. Don't beat yourself up over it. It all worked out, yeah?"
I nodded. "I guess so." I answered. "Are you okay? You know, with her still wanting to call you Harry?"
He sighed but then nodded. "Whatever she is comfortable with is fine with me. I don't want to pressure her at all. I can only hope one day she will call me something else, but I will be here regardless."
I smiled at him and then yawned. I looked at the clock and realized it was already ten o'clock at night. I still had an hour drive home ahead of me. I went to grab my car keys off the table, but Harry took them from me.
"No way." He told me. "You're not driving home. You look like you're about to fall asleep standing here."
"Well what else am I going to do?" I asked him.
"Sleep here." He answered obviously. "You can even have my bed."
I knew instantly I did not want to sleep in his bed. I have flashbacks just looking at his couch. The last thing I needed was to be laying in his bed.
"No. That's okay." I said. "But if you don't mind, I think I'll go sleep in bed with Kayden. Or I can drive home. I don't want to crash your sleepover."
"Don't be ridiculous." He chuckled. "Go to sleep." He gave me a hug and I froze when I felt him lightly kiss my head. He pulled away with a small smile. "Goodnight Lou."
"Night." I managed to get out, though I felt like I couldn't speak.
I walked down the hall and climbed into bed with Kayden. "What the hell was that?!" I thought to myself. This night was way too eventful for my liking. Kayden knows about Harry. Harry kissed my head, which is such a loving gesture. I decided to just focus on Kayden for now. My feelings could wait, especially when he was about to go on tour. I rolled over and snuggled up next to Kayden. "I hope she is going to be alright the next few months." I thought, and then the darkness took over.
