Hannah (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 9

(A/N Short chapter ahead)

"Dad?" Harry heard a voice call his name and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked to the right and saw Hannah there with a smile. "Good morning, daddy." She kissed his cheek and he groaned pushing her away before turning around on the bed. She chuckled and removed the blankets "Wake up dad!" She whined.

Harry could do nothing but sigh in defeat and nodded as he sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes with a yawn. "Morning" He mumbled and looked at her with a small smile.

"Morning, dad. Zayn is downstairs waiting for you to go have breakfast with him." she told him softly and he nodded with another yawn before getting up and walking to his closet "I'll wait you downstairs" she said softly and left.

Harry quickly changed into something more comfortable and walked downstairs. He saw his best friend and smiled at him "Hay Zaynie!" He greeted him and sat down on the table next to him

"Hey Haz" Zayn chuckled and smiled at him. "I was thinking we could go somewhere else for breakfast? Like this little cafe down the street" he suggested. 

Harry smiled and nodded "Yeah, that'd be good" he nodded and they both got up. Harry caught Hannah and Drew snogging on the couch again "OI! Stop that! Not on my couch!" he whined and they laughed 

"Are you going out, dad?" she asked softly and Harry nodded "yeah. I'll be back before lunch though. I'll probably go to the gym later since Wednesdays are my day off and today is Wednesday." He said softly and she nodded 

"Okay. See ya" She called to him and they left. 

After a few minutes of random subjects as they walked towards the cafe, Zayn finally brought up something "So, Haz. What did you do yesterday?" He asked softly and Harry froze. 

"N-Nothing much" he mumbled before he started acting normal again. 

"Harry, what are you not telling me?' he asked slowly. 

"I'll tell you later" he said as they arrived the cafe. "I'll order the drinks. Get us a table." he said simply and left.

Zayn mumbled something and went to find a table. He sat down and just waited for harry to come back with their food. Once Harry finally did after a long time, He asked again "What are you not telling me?" he asked again and Harry looked down. He sipped on his drink and closed his eyes with a heavy sigh before finally telling him. He told Zayn everything. From the tweet to the almost kiss and to him pushing Louis on the lake. Zayn listened nodding once in a while. When Harry finally finished Zayn spoke up. "Harry, I know he fucked up a lot but don't you think he serves a chance on explaining it?" he asked softly.

"NO! Zayn, he fucked up my life and you more than anyone should know that." he said frustrated and Zayn nodded

"I know. He's a jerk and he definitely doesn't deserve you. But I'm not telling you to marry him! I'm saying you should let him explain." he sighed softly. 

"I don't want to" Harry said stubbornly.

"But you will listen to him. Eventually he'll reach Hannah and she'll ask about him again! That is gonna happen. But are you gonna have the real reason why he left? Will you be able to tell her the truth if you don't know it yourself?!" Zayn exclaimed and Harry looked down. He knew Zayn was right but he didn't want to talk to Louis or be near him. It hurt too bad.

"I need time, Zayn" he mumbled

"You've had 17 years! That's more than enough time. You have to stop running away from him and face him! Tell him how you fell!" he exclaimed 

"I already did!" Harry told him "I didn't know it was him but I told that stranger that ended up being him how I felt about him leaving me!" he whined

"Harry. You need to talk to him. Soon. If not this week, then the next. But stop postponing it. It's not healthy for you" he told him honestly 

"I know." He nodded  in defeat. "Did you think Hannah noticed it?" he asked softly and Zayn gave him a sad smile with a small nod

"I think so." he whispered and than harry made a decision

"How is the company going, Zan? From what you've seen I mean?" He asked with a small smile playing on his lips.

"Pretty good actually. The guys from that famous Irish bank are coming soon to make a deal with us but i think it will all go well." Zayn said softly not really understanding why Harry was smiling like that.

"Good." harry nodded. "I'm taking a week off. To calm down a bit and figure things out. I'm going to my mum's house." He smiled

"Didn't she kick you out though?" Zayn asked softly with a small frown

"Not Anne" Harry rolled his eyes "I'm talking about Johanna." He smiled brightly at the thought of the woman who helped him raise Hannah and who gave Harry a home. You see, when Harry told his parents he was pregnant they kicked him out. At first he and Louis were gonna rent a flat and live together but when Louis disappeared, not only leaving Harry behind but also his own family, Johanna took him in and promised to take care of him and the baby since Louis wasn't mature enough to take responsibility for his own mistakes. And she did. She helped Harry raised Hannah and she raised Harry herself. She was even there when harry went in labour. Harry saw her like a mom since then

Zayn smiled back and nodded "Yeah. I think that'd be good for you. Clear your head and stay there with someone who can actually help you figure this out. But don't you think Louis might show up?" he asked softly a hint of worry in his voice

"She wouldn't let him get close to me. i know that." he smiled and asked for the check. "Tell the boys I'm leaving for a vacation but don't tell them where. you can tell Hannah and only her where I'm going but tell her I'll be back soon." he smiled at Zayn 

"You can count on me bud" he said and they paid before walking out 

"Oh, and i'm counting on you to run the company for me" he smiled and patted Zayn's shoulder

"Really?" he asked excitedly and harry chuckled 

"really" he nodded with a grin " I trust you Zayn.

"Thank you Harry" He wrapped an arm around his shoulder and they walked back home. Once they got there Harry quickly packed his bags and went downstairs where Zayn was waiting to drive him there. They put the bags in the trunk Zayn drove off. 

"Don't worry. You'll be back soon" Zayn whispered softly as he saw Harry's worried face 

"That's not what I'm worried about" Harry whispered looking out of the window as they left London headed to Doncaster.
