Present Time

Harry's POV

Yes, I cheated, but I did it before I had a family. I feel bad, but no one ever knew besides the girl, whose name I have forgotten and me. I never told anyone, so I thought it would never come up. I needed to get the guilt that was washing over me out, do I decided to call someone and tell them the story. I gathered myself and slowly stood up off the ground. I wiped my warm, tear-stained cheeks to rid myself of the last couple of tears I had shed. I walked through the door of our.. My house. I felt like part of me was gone. My fiancée was gone and she was going to take my daughter. Not kidnap her, but if we took this to court for custody, the judge would see me as a cheater. That's not who I am. It was a drunken mistake. I never wanted this.

I slowly sulked back to the bedroom, I slowly pushed the door open and newly found tears began to roll down my face. In the corner was a pile of her dirty clothes, she, I assumed was getting ready to wash before my whole life came crashing down around me. I picked a shirt up. It smelled like her, and as weird as it sounded, I was intoxicated my that smell. I felt weak; I am weak. I slowly sat on the bed. The memories started flooding my mind.

Flashback- 7 Months Ago

Harry's POV

"Harry", Lana's petite voice mumbled, breaking the silence.

"Yes, baby..?", I murmured, half asleep.

"Are you scared of this?", she said. I was somewhat confused of her question. We were laying in bed, my arm wrapped loosely around her waist.

"Of.. What?", I replied.

"The baby.. Our baby", she whispered, rolling over to face me. I was about to fall asleep, but was awoken fully by her question. I never had actually stopped to consider the fact that I would soon be a father. Yes, I was scared. Terrified even. I am young, and not to be arrogant, but I'm famous. Image is everything, and my fans meant the world to me. I haven't told them yet. They know Lana is my girlfriend and she already gets enough hate, but add in the engagement and a baby and that's more hate mail that she doesn't need. There's no reason to add insult to injury especially since she's going through a hard time as it is. She was already nervous, but so was I. However, I can't show weakness. She needs a strong person to help her get through this. However, when she said "Our" it eased my worries. After a period of silence, I finally spoke up.

"Yes, of course I am", I spoke. I saw her smile fade from her beautiful face.

"But-",I quickly recovered.

"I'm ready. You're going to be a great mother. I want to be a good father, the best I can be. For you and for baby.. Umm.. Harry.. Jr..?", I joked half-heartily. She began to giggle, which slowly calmed my worries.

"No-No. We aren't naming his/her Harry Jr", she laughed.

"Okay, okay..", I chuckled. Just as I was slowly starting to fall asleep, she spoke again.

"Promise me you won't", she whimpered. This broke my heart to think she thought I would leave her alone with my child. Never would I ever think of doing it.

"Never. I love you.", I said, somewhat pained by her plea. I slowly closed my eyes, but not before I heard her speak again.

"I love you too....You're going to be a great father", she said slowly before falling asleep with a smile on her pink lips. This warmed my heart. I pushed back her dark, blonde hair and planting a light kiss on her forehead.

"I promise to always be there, and be the best father I can be.", I whispered, before slowly closing my eyes.

If only I knew that I would eventually break that promise.

Present Time

Harry's POV

That day was one I would always remember, although technically I didn't break the promise. SHE left, but it was because of me. I feel so guilty. I tore my family apart.

"Ughhhh, I'm so stupid!", I screamed as I threw a pillow that was near me at the wall. I was sad, but angry. Angry with myself. I needed to call someone. I continued my conquest of finding my phone. After minutes of searching, I located it under the pale blue duvet. I unlocked it and plopped down on the bed. I scrolled through the contact I was searching for.

It rang until it was answered. I was about I spill it all. The reason I'm crumbling.

"Hello..?", the cheery voice spoke. Here it goes....

A/N: Sooooo whatcha think?
