Fate

Chapter 36

I arrive at Taylor's house and I'm curious about what we will talk about.

I shouldn't have been such a bitch to her about it.

"Come in." She says with a smile opening the door for me.

"How are you?" I ask.

I try to ease into the conversation.

"I'm okay. I didn't mean anything towards you or Harry." She says gliding her hand through her short hair.

"It's okay Taylor. I'm sorry for saying what I said." I apologize.

Her eyes start to water and I feel bad for her.

"Can't we just put this behind us? I don't have feelings for Harry. The alcohol took over me. I love Liam and I always will." Taylor says. She almost starts to cry.

"Okay. We can forget this." I say.

As much as I don't want to, I need to.

"Thank you Stella. I will make it up to you, I promise." She spits out.

"Okay." I say.

She comes up to me and hugs me.

I really miss her. She has to earn her trust back though. I mean I guess we can go forward like mature adults.

"So. Does that mean I can still talk to you about Harry?" I ask.

"If you feel comfortable about it. I don't want to act like nothing happened." She says.

"Sounds fair." I laugh.

"Well hows the baby? Your getting bigger Stel." She giggles.

"It's only been a little while." I say.

"Yeah, but you can tell." She laughs.

"I know." I say.

"What about you and Liam?"

"I think we're still together." She says.

"He loves you Taylor. You need to talk to him." I say rubbing my shoulder.

"Yeah. Do you think he'll take me back?" She looks down.

"Of course. You guys are meant to be together." I say hugging her.

"You think so?" She starts to cry.

"Yes, don't cry Taylor. Just talk to him and tell him how you feel." I say trying to help her out.

"I will. Thanks Stella." She says wiping her eyes.

"He'll take you back. You just have to make it up." I say.

"Okay." She says.

"I have to make it up to alot of people

"You'll get through it. people make mistakes. I'm gonna go home okay. I need to sleep." I say.

"Okay, do what you gotta do." She smiles.

"Bye Tay." I say exiting her house.

I drive to Harry's apartment and I see an unfamiliar car.

I walk inside and Harry's mom is sitting on the couch.

"Stella!" She says with a big smile on her face.

"Ms. Styles, I wasn't expecting to see you here." I say faking a smile.

"Oh well I just thought I'd give you company." She says.

"Don't just stand there come inside!"

"Okay haha." I say closing the door and sitting on the couch.

"My goodness your stomach has gotten bigger." She smiles and looks at it.

"I know. It's getting harder to do things." I admit.

"Oh honey I can imagine. Your glowing." She smiles.

"Thanks! Your too sweet." I say blushing.

"Where's Harry?" She asks.

"He's downtown at work." I say.

"Oh okay. You hungry I can cook for you?" She offers.

She's so sweet, it's overwhelming.

I also remember never telling her I'm pregnant. Harry must've told her.

"No no I'm fine." I say moving my hand.

"Oh please. The baby needs food." She says laughing.

"Okay." I giggle.

She cooks me a nice lunch which is spaghetti and meatballs.

It's so delicious!

"Thank you for that. That was the best lunch I've had in awhile." I admit.

"Oh thank you. A little something I learned in culinary school." She smirks.

"Thank you." I say.

"I heard you met Gemma, right?" She says cleaning up the kitchen.

"Yeah, she's very nice. I like her company." I smile and rub my belly.

"She enjoys yours too." She smirks.

"Why is Gemma here? I thought she lived in England?" I ask.

"Oh, her husband came here for a job interview. He's going to be a lawyer." She says with a big smile.

"Oh wow, that's nice." I say.

"Yeah. She's here for a week and then leaves back to England." Anne says.

"Oh okay." I say.

"What time did you get here?" I ask her.

"I got here at 2:30." She says.

"Oh alright." I say.

"Harry should be here any minute right?" She asks.

"Oh I don't know, he usually gets home at like 4 or 5." I say smiling.

When I think about Harry I smile to myself.

"Well I should probably get going. It was nice seeing you again." She says as she grabs her thick coat and leaves.

"Bye." I say.

It was a little random to see her here and suddenly leave.

Maybe she wanted Harry here and not me.
