~ Don't Let Me Go ~ (Discontinued)

~ Chapter 12 ~

(My P.O.V)

"I'm starving!"

"Aren't we all?"

"Yes."

Suddenly Gemma and Robin came into the kitchen, stretching before sitting down.

"Good morning Harry, mum, Jazz."

"Morning Gemma."

"Good morning sweetheart."

"Morning sis."

"Good morning Anne, Harry, Jazz."

"Good morning, Robin."

"Morning dad."

"I see you made breakfast again, Anne?"

She smiled and kissed his cheek. "It's my job to take care of these three."

I grinned at them, waiting patiently.

"I could've done it." He protested sweetly.

"I wanted you to sleep in, sweetheart."

"Alright fine."

I ran my fingers through my hair in front of the bathroom mirror.

Harry walked in and gave me a side hug.

"Hi."

"Hey cutie." I giggled softly, hugging him back.

"You look be-"

He was cut off by the ring of my phone.

I grabbed it out of my pocket and answered, smiling.

"Sissy, when will you be coming home?" Charlie whined.

"Soon. I promise!"

"Hello Charlie." Harry waved, grinning and pulling me close to him by the waist.

"Hi Harry!"

"Watch it, Harry." My sister warned.

I rolled my eyes and grumbled,"I'll see you later... We've got to go..." I ended the call, looking down angrily.

"Babe?" Harry's voice so comforting, I softened slowly and glanced up at him. "What was that all about?"

"I-..."

He lifted my chin up softly, looking a bit concerned. "You what? Go on now, love. I'm listening..."

"I just hate how my sister doesn't think you treat me right, that she doesn't trust you. The only ones in my family that are left and that love you, is my brother and I..."

"That's okay. We don't all have to like everyone else, you know."

"Well yeah, but still..."

"Please don't worry about it," He assured with a smile, pulling me into a hug.

I hugged him back tight, closing my eyes slowly as a tear ran down my cheek.

{----}

"Babe? You okay?" Harry asked softly, knocking on the door.

I sighed. "No..."

"Can I at least come in?"

"No, leave me alone."

"Babe, I'm coming in whether you like it or not." He twisted the door handle, opening it slowly as I got up and ran towards him, attempting to shut the door once again.

"Love, what's the matter?"

"Nothing! I told you to leave me alone, anyways..."

"Yeah, and I said I was coming in whether you liked it or not!"

I brushed past him, going into his bedroom.

He jogged after me, gripping my arm carefully and gently.

"Baby... Please don't go now!"

I looked down, grabbing my bag anyway and packing up. "I'm sorry Harry... But I have to eventually."

"Well then, maybe I'll just take control over it."

As soon as I approached the door once more, I stopped. "What do you mean?"

"I could take the privilege to keep you. Legally."

"As in... Fully custody?"

"Mmmhmm."

I looked back at him a surprised expression on my face.

His face was serious, blank expression.

Well... I only knew he was serious.

"Harry, you can't-"

"I'm your boyfriend, I've always been there for you, so I should be able to take care of you!" He crossed his arms, staring at me, the same expression on his face.

"Hazz-" I was going to insist, although he never lets me finish.

His index finger was pressed up against my lips, a sigh escaping from them.

"Babe, listen... I just want what's best for you, so you can be happy!"

"But I am happy, Harold! I love my family, your family, you..."

He was taken aback, staring in awe at me. "But love... Your sister-"

"What about her? I have my brother to worry about anyways, she can hate us all she wants... There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, especially since we're in a relationship."

"That's true." He sighed, sitting down and patting on the spot beside him.

I sat down, resting my head on his shoulder.

He looked down at me, kissing my forehead softly.

"Don't let me go," He whispered.

"I won't, I promise." I assured, leaning up to kiss him.
