《Kayden (Larry Stylinson)》Chapter Twenty Nine
Advertisement
We spent the day at Harry's parent's house. It was a lot of fun. Anne and Kayden really seemed to hit it off. Robin was a great guy and I could see how much Harry respected him as the father figure in his life. After we had dinner, Anne brought out baby pictures of Harry to show Kayden and I.
It was amazing to me how much they have looked alike the whole time. I thought Kayden looked like me when she was born, but seeing these baby pictures of Harry, I was wrong. I had my mom send me a couple of baby pictures of Kayden and we compared them side by side.
"So Harry, how does it feel to know you've been cloned?" Robin asked jokingly.
Harry simply smiled at Kayden and kissed her cheek. I knew he was glad that she looked just like him. I was too. If she hadn't, the fans may not have made such a big deal about her and Harry wouldn't have found out. As much as I didn't want him to find out back then, I am so glad now that he knows. I need to remember to buy Lottie a thank you present.
As I was turning the pages through the album, one caught my eye. It was a picture of Harry who couldn't have been more than 3 years old. He was snuggled up on the couch with a blanket and he was sleeping soundly. What made it catch my attention though, was the bear in his arms. It was the same bear he brought over for Kayden when she was sick. The same bear she cuddles with every night now.
"Harry? Is that...?" I pointed to the bear.
He smiled shyly and Kayden answered my question.
"That's my bear!" She said excitedly.
I couldn't contain my emotions. I excused myself and walked out to the garden. A few moments later, I could feel Harry behind me.
"Are you okay?" He asked calmly.
"You gave Kayden your childhood bear." I said in disbelief.
"Yes, I did." He confirmed. I turned around to face him.
"But you had only known her for one day."
"Louis." He grabbed my hand as he spoke. "I came into this knowing that I wasn't ever going to leave. From the second I saw her standing at the bottom of the stairs that first night, I knew that I loved her. She is my daughter. Our daughter. It didn't matter to me what happens between us. She is my child and I am going to love her and help guide her for the rest of her life."
I looked into his eyes and couldn't see anything but honesty. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and nuzzled my face into his neck. He let out a content sigh as he hugged me and kissed my head.
"Thank you." I told him.
"No reason to thank me." He replied.
By the time we decided to head back home, it was late. We said our goodbyes to Anne and Robin and promised them that we will come back soon. Kayden had made up her own names for them. Anne was now Gami and Robin was Grandpa Robin. Needless to say, they were smitten.
Kayden fell asleep in the car on the way home. We decided to sleep at Harry's house since it was closer than mine. He carried a sleepy Kayden into the house and went to put her to bed in the guest room. While he was doing that, I went into the kitchen for a drink. I couldn't help but notice a small stack of papers on the counter that seemed important. While I drank my glass of water, I glanced at them.

"The two parties, Harry Styles and Christopher Mason, will date for appearances sake. The stunt will last approximately 7 weeks and will end with both parties stating that the end was a mutual decision. The stunting activities will include going on dates, hand holding, shopping in public, and small kisses."
I couldn't read anymore. I felt like I was going to be sick. Harry just became mine last night, and now he is going to have to fake date someone else?! I'm not okay with this. Why didn't he tell me? Why did he ask me that very important question before giving me this vital information!? I flipped to the bottom of the packet and saw that it was signed. Just then, Harry walked in.
"Hey babe. Kayden is fast asl-" He stopped short as I glared at him, holding the packet in my hand. "Lou. I can explain."
"Explain what exactly Harry?!" I spat. "Explain how you didn't tell me you'd have to publicly date some male model?! Explain how you'd let the whole world think you're with him while I sit at home with our daughter!?" I threw the papers back onto the counter.
He seemed to shy away a bit at my yelling but I didn't care. I was furious.
"My PR team thinks it would be good since I just came out and he really needs the fan boost." He explained. I shook my head. I didn't want to hear any of it. "I didn't think you would want to make our relationship public yet! I didn't think-"
"You're right Harry. You didn't think!" I interrupted. "You didn't think about how I would feel. You didn't think about how Kayden would feel seeing you publicly dating someone else. You didn't think about anyone but yourself!"
He walked closer and tried to grab my hands but I ripped them away from his grasp.
"Babe. I'm sorry." He started but I didn't want to hear it.
"Save it." I said tiredly. "I'm going home. I'll come back for Kayden tomorrow."
I ignored his pleas for me to stay as I walked out the door and got in my car. As soon as I turned out of the driveway, I began to cry. "I am so stupid for thinking that everything was going to be fine." I said to myself. It was over an hour before I got home because I kept having to pull over to calm myself down. By the time I walked into my house, I collapsed on the couch and fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up with a headache and very irritated eyes. I wondered why at first, but then I remembered the events of last night and my mood dropped again. As I looked for my phone to check the time, I realized that I must have left it in the car. I went out to get it and noticed all of the notifications.
I ignored the ones from Harry at first. I didn't want to know what he had to say. I decided to call my mom back.
"Lou?" She said as she answered.
"Yeah Mom?" I replied.
"Oh thank goodness." She let out a breath of relief. "Harry called me this morning panicked. He said you two got into an argument last night and you left. He didn't know if you made it home alright."
"I'm fine. I was just tired by the time I got home. I fell asleep on the couch and didn't notice I left my phone in my car." I explained.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked caringly.
"Not right now. Maybe later."
"Okay sweetie."
We got off the phone and I checked the texts from Zayn. He was simply just talking about some party next weekend he wanted me to go to with him. I rolled my eyes and told him I'd think about it. With nothing left, I checked Harry's texts first.
lou... im sorry... please talk to me
i was going to tell you i promise
it isn't even something i want to do... it was all my pr team's idea
can you please let me know you made it home okay at least?
lou?
im getting worried now... please just let me know you're safe
kayden is awake... she is looking for you... i told her you had to go to work for something really quick...
I looked at the times from each text message and I could tell he didn't sleep at all last night. A part of me felt bad, but an even bigger part was still really pissed off that he didn't tell me about the stunting. I decided to listen to the voicemails he left.
Message 1:
"Louis. Please come back so we can talk about this. I was going to tell you about it. I swear I was. I just hadn't found the time yet and to be honest it slipped my mind for a while. I was just so happy to be back with you and Kayden. Call me back or just turn around."
Message 2:
"Lou. I don't know if you made it home okay. You're not answering my calls or my texts. It's late and I'm really worried about you. Please just let me know you're alright."
Message 3:
"Louis. I called your mom. I don't know where you are. I don't know if you're alive. I'm worried sick. Please. For the love of God Louis. Just tell me you're okay and I'll leave you alone. Call me back or text me or something."
I sighed. I wouldn't have let him think that I was hurt if I had realized he was blowing up my phone. I decided he deserved at least a text back.
im fine. left my phone in the car by accident last night. tell kayden ill come by to get her tonight.
It was no surprise when my phone went off a minute later.
oh thank god... i was so worried... i thought something terrible happened to you
I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
something terrible did happen to me harry. i found out that i can't trust my own boyfriend.
lou don't say that... you can trust me... please just talk to me
i just need some space. please just give me some space.
ok... i'm sorry again...see you later xx
I tossed my phone down on the coffee table and leaned back on the couch. I don't know what to do. I want to be able to trust Harry. I just finally got him back. He just became mine not even 48 hours ago. Why the hell did his PR team have to go and ruin everything?! His stupid PR team and their stupid stunting contracts and the stupid model who is stupidly gorgeous. Everything is just stupid and I hate it.
I spent the day cleaning to distract me and then took a nap. When it hit 6pm I decided to go pick up Kayden. It was seven by the time I got there. When I went inside, I noticed it was oddly quiet. I walked to the backdoor and saw Harry and Kayden both playing on the bounce house he had gotten her. I stepped outside, making sure the door made a noise so they'd hear me.
"Daddy!" Kayden exclaimed.
Harry just looked at me as if he was broken. "Sweetheart why don't you play a little more while I talk to your dad okay?" He said softly to Kayden. She nodded as Harry climbed out of the bounce house and walked over to me.
"Hi." He said shyly.
"I'm just here to get Kayden." I replied.
"Lou. Can we please talk?" You could hear his voice start to break. I shook my head.
"There is nothing to talk about right now Harry. I just need space."
"Are... are you breaking u-up with me?" At the sound of his stutter I looked up to see he was beginning to cry. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him further from the bounce house. Kayden didn't need to see or hear this. He followed willingly and wiped his tears with the sleeves of his shirt.
"Harry." I began, though I didn't really know where I was going with it. "I'm not breaking up with you. I'm just really upset that you didn't tell me and I had to find out from a contract on a countertop. Clearly you had to of known something about it before you even met to sign the papers."
"Well yeah, I was given some information on a stunt they were working on, but I didn't know for sure what it was yet." He explained quickly. "And when I found out, I didn't want to tell you through text or on the phone because I knew you would be upset about it. I didn't expect you to find out this way."
"But I did." I said coldly.
"I'm sorry Louis. I'll do anything. I'll try to get out of it. I'll try to- I don't know. Just please don't take Kayden away from me." He pleaded.
I instantly shook my head. "Harry, Harry. I am not going to take Kayden away from you. That wouldn't only hurt you, it would hurt her too. And I have no intentions of hurting either of you just because I'm hurting." I responded and I could see him become slightly relieved but still broken.
"I'm sorry I hurt you." He said sincerely.
"I know you are." I responded. "But please. I just need space. You can still come over every day to see Kayden. I won't keep you from her. But I need space."
He nodded and kissed my cheek. "Anything." He whispered in my ear. I tried to ignore the shiver it sent up my spine and walked over to get Kayden.
That night after I put Kayden to bed, I went to sleep as well. I was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I didn't want to be mad at Harry, but I couldn't help it. I felt betrayed. He could have told me at any point and he especially should have told me before he made us official. I just felt blindsided.
The next few days, Harry came over every day to see Kayden. He made sure to keep his distance from me and I really appreciated that. I noticed that last night he left before dinner time. I couldn't help but feel the sting when I thought about if he was out on one of his stunting dates with Christopher Mason. I may or may not have cried myself to sleep that night.
Tonight, Harry tucked Kayden into bed like he normally does. I usually go upstairs after he leaves and say goodnight. He walked by me in the living room, giving me a broken smile as he passed. When he went to walk out the door, he stopped.
"Did you see the article?" He asked.
"What article?" I asked him. I had avoided looking anything up because I don't want to see them together.
"The one about my 'date', with Chris." He said, putting air quotes around the word date.
"No. I haven't." I replied coldly.
"There is a video with it. Can you watch the video? Please?" He asked.
"Harry. I really don't want to see you two together. It hurts enough."
"Please Lou. Just watch the video." And with that he walked out.

Homeless (mxm)
Book 1 HomeLessBook 2 ReckLessBook 3 SenseLessBeing homeless isn't the end of the world. At least, that's what Zachary thought when he found himself on the streets after being kicked out at seventeen. It hadn't been his fault. His father had used him as a scapegoat and won his mother over, thinking that her husband was telling the truth about his cheating and that Zachary was the one who was bringing women over, trying to ruin their marriage. He'd argued his side, but once his mother decided on something, her mind would not be changed. That's how he came to live in the alley near the end of 73rd street between the old bakery and a laundromat. It wasn't anything special, but after three years he'd managed to spruce up the place and make it almost-bearable to live in. Over the years he'd made friends with random people he often passed on the streets and did manage to hold down a few random jobs, but like everything else, they came, then went. Now he was left with fifteen dollars and twenty-two cents, a torn blanket, one outfit, and a dream for a better life. He just didn't know that he'd find it somewhere he'd never thought to look... or with someone he never knew he'd want.
