Unexpected Love

Chapter 20

P.O.V Cortnee

Harry came over after I called him. Niall went to bed and I got anger text from Liam, saying he is taking me to court. If he actually loved me, he would fight for me, not fight with me.  Harry was sitting in bed with me, trying to comfort me. I don’t know why I called him out of anyone. It actually is his entire fault that all this is happening.

I know all of this wrong. Why lean on someone that ruined your last relationship? I don’t know. He came didn’t he and he also the only one that doesn’t have a girlfriend. If I called one of the other boys, I really didn’t want to start anything with them. 

I didn’t sleep at all. Harry stayed up with me and once the babies woke up, he helped me feed them and get them ready. “Thanks, you didn’t need to help” I said. I felt guilty for making him do that. “Anytime.” He responded. “Well, you must have a busy day. I won’t hold you” I put on a smile. “I have another hour.” He smiled, his dimples showed.

“Do you mind watching them, while I take a shower? I won’t take long.” I really didn’t care if he said no. “Yeah go ahead” he smiled picking up Shelby. He wasn’t such a bad guy. I took a real quick shower. I penned my hair up and threw on a skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I had Liam’s jumper in my bag. I nearly cried. A knocked on the bathroom door, knocked me out of my thoughts. “Yes?” I answered. “Are you done, because Liam just texted you” harry told me.

I opened the door fast. “What did it say” I had a smile, hoping it was good. “He wanted to see the babies” he told me. “Oh.” That’s all I could say. I really was hoping for a sorry.  I sat on Liam’s old bed. Way too many memories. “Well, I need to get home and clean. I really don’t want to start drama. I need to leave before he gets here.” He was about to leave but I gave him a hug. “Thank you,” I muffled into his chest.

“You’re welcome” he hugged back but tighter. “Where are you staying tonight?” he asked letting go of me. “I am going to see if I can get my old flat” I told him “Don’t worry, if  not ill check into a hotel.” I told him “If you don’t get your flat back, you can stay at my place.” He tried to tell me. I didn’t think that was a good idea.

Harry left and 10 minutes later Liam got here. I opened the door with a smile. “Hi, Liam” I really wanted him back. “Hi, Cortnee” He walked past me. “Liam, can we talk?” I grabbed his hand. “Cortnee, you said it yourself, it’s over” he pulled his hand out of me. “I’m sorry” I looked at my feet. “Cortnee, stop acting like you’re innocent.” He gave me an evil glare. “Excuse me, you’re the one that lied to me and didn’t spend time with me or your kids” I hated saying mean things. “Sorry” I regretted saying that. “I didn’t mean to be mean” I continued. He looked at me. “I said I was sorry” I flinched, when I saw his arm rise.

“Did you think I was going to hit you?” he asked. I shook my head. “Then why did you flinch” he looked at me right in the eyes. “It’s a habit.” Which is true, I was abused by my family and ex-boyfriends. I was bullied for years. I was jumped tons of times. I looked at him. “I’m sorry.” I found myself wrapping my arms around his waist. “Cortnee, I think we need a break” he said. My heart literally shattered. “What?” I looked up with watery eyes. Everything seemed blurry.  “Only for a bit” he said pulling away.

“I know you aren’t stable right now. I will be taking them for a bit” he pointed down the hall. “No, no you will not” I protested. “You will not take my babies” I said with tears. “Cortnee, you can’t be alone with them, you’re not stabled.” He grabbed their seats. “Liam stop! I have been trying not to hurt you. And you come in here not caring!” I was pissed. “Don’t you dare take my babies” I said. “They are mine too” he said angry. “Stop, you hardly are there for them!” I tried to grab Shelby’s seat. “Let go” he said.
