Chapter 16-Why don't you understand?
Louis POV
Emma sighed really heavily beside me breaking the silence that had been hovering around for a while.
"What's up Emz?" I asked feeling a little concerned.
"Should I call Harry and apologize?" she questioned.
"I honestly think you should because although he can be a prick he does care and he does really like you" I answered quite bluntly
She let out another big sigh and said "Okay but if I fuck up I blame you carrot boy" she turned around and winked at me then walked off into the kitchen to phone Harry.
…..
After what felt like forever Emma re-entered the room with a saddened expression on her face. I stood up telling Leon to go back upstairs and we will play with the bricks later. He nodded and ran up the stairs with a wide grin on his face.
"Im guessing that didn't go well" I commented
"You guessed right he is nothing but a selfish asshole" She spoke holding back tears I pulled her in for a hug and my shirt was wet in an instant.
"Why's that?"
"He doesn't understand, he never understands" she sobbed
"How does that make him a selfish asshole Emz" I looked at her a bit confused.
"Just forget it"
"No I won't this is making you upset and were going to sort it out" I sighed
"How?" it was her turn to look confused.
"Go get your so..Brother and get him into his shoes and jacket we are going to Harry and Liam's house"
"NO!"
"Em this is the only way it's going to be solved I won't let him upset you, you know that" I reassured her.
"Fine but that doesn't mean im happy about it"
"I know, I know just trust me and go get Leon" I smiled walking towards the front door grabbing my car keys on the way and just stood there and waited for Emma and Leon to come back.
When they got back he was already in his Ben 10 jacket and flashing trainers…jealous I want flashing trainers.
"Hey Lou can we take his pushchair because he's getting tired"
"Yeah not a problem" I smiled at her as she went and got the push chair.
When we were finally ready in the car we made our way towards Harry and Liam's house. Leon was asleep in his chair when we got there so we just put him in his push chair so we didn't wake him. Emma was looking incredibly nervous and was dragging behind me pushing Leon.
"Come on Emma we've came this far there's no point going now come on"
"Okay im coming" she replied as I knocked on the door she slowly approached behind me I looked back and smiled until the door flung open revealing Zayn.
"Hey Louis…Emma didn't expect to see you here come on in" Zayn smiled I don't think he had noticed Leon yet because Emma was practically hiding behind my back. We walked in to the living room to a lot of screaming and laughing going on and I shushed everyone as I walked in not wanting them to wake Leon.
They all looked at me confused until I moved out of the way to reveal Emma and Leon standing there "Hey everyone" Emma whispered.
"Erm…Emma who's the baby?" Niall asked trying not to sound offensive.
"Erm…my baby brother Leon" She stuttered a little she was really pale and looked really weak.
"Emma you ok?" Abbie asked
"Im fine" she answered
"How come we've never met Leon?" Abbie questioned
"You've heard about him he was born when I was away with my parents for my dad's business trip mam never knew before she went so she was shocked to find out when we got there" Emma replied looking very uncomfortable.
Emma's POV
"How come we've never met Leon?" Abbie questioned
"You've heard about him he was born when I was away with my parents for my dad's business trip mam never knew before she went so she was shocked to find out when we got there" I replied felling incredibly uncomfortable and awkward oh god this wasn't happening I never wanted my friends other than Louis to meet Leon and Louis was only aloud because he was my best friend and was always around my house.
I knew I should try and change the subject "Where's Vicky and Liam?" Abbie sniggered when I asked this
"There in the garden Vicky's comforting him" Abbie replied still laughing a little under her breath.
"Comforting what happened and be honest" I said in a stern tone.
"Liam and Harry had an argument about…"
"About what Abbie?" I asked feeling a little angry she was struggling to tell me.
"It was about you!" Abbie shouted.
All the lads scattered out of the room with their girlfriends and Leon in tow leaving just me and Abbie.
"Now can you please explain why they were arguing about me!" I asked getting nervous
"Well Liam told us he liked you which made Harry angry because he likes you to and has for a while so they started arguing and Harry and Liam said a few nasty things to each other and Harry nearly hit Liam but Zayn stopped them and they aint talked since" she spoke really fast running out of breath.
"Wait what nasty things were said?"
"Liam basically said Harry objectifies you like you're a piece of property and Harry said Liam didn't care about you it wasn't that bad" Abbie whispered.
"Oh god could this get any worse" I said as I saw a figure in the doorway that had curls on the top of their head yep it was Harry 'Great'.
"What are you doing here?" Harry questioned getting closer to me and Abbie.
"I came to see my friends is that ok" I spat him Abbie began to walk away because she could feel the tension.
"Erm yeah I suppose" he said looking a bit shocked at my raise of voice.
Louis POV
We could hear them from the kitchen arguing we just couldn't quite make up what about because they weren't shouting which im happy about because Leon's still asleep.
"I HATE YOU HARRY YOU'RE A SELFISH BASTARD!" We heard Emma…scream woops spoke to soon Leon was beginning to stir in his sleep.
"LEAST IM NOT A SELF-CENTRED ATTENTION SEEKING BITCH WHO WON'T EVEN SAY WHATS UP!" Ouch poor Emma I bet that hurt I knew I should check on them till I hear Leon cry.
"Lou, Lou where's my sis?" He asked looking droopy eyed still, I unplugged him and carried him through to the living room hoping that they had calmed down.
As I walked in Harry looked up "Who's the kid?"
"It's Emma's brother Leon and he wants his sister" I looked over at Emma who was sat on a chair with her head in her hands and you could hear her faint sobbing. I placed Leon down and he toddled over to Emma.
"Sissy what's wrong why you crying only baby's like me cry" Leon said I couldn't help but laugh a little I looked over at Harry who was just about to get up and leave.
"Hey don't you dare leave you two need to apologise to each other for what you said because what you both said none of it was true Harry's not a selfish bastard and I know Emma's anything but a self-centred attention seeking bitch she hates the attention being on her NOW APOLIGISE!"
They both looked at me a little shocked even Leon looked a little wide eyed.
Emma began to stutter "im…sorry…Harry but I really do have a lot on my mind at the moment sorry"
Harry looked at her and saw that she truly meant it as realisation hit him he apologised to "I'm so sorry Emma I didn't mean a word of what I said it was just a heat of the moment sort of thing I really am sorry hugs?"
"Hugs" Emma smiled and put Leon down to go hug Harry. I decided I best leave them so I wandered off into the kitchen to see Abbie sat by herself because the others were all with each other.
So I decided I'd go sit with her "hey Abbs"
Harrys POV
I was so glad me and Emma had made up I really didn't mean a word of what I said it was just like I said a heat of the moment action. So here we are sharing our make-up hug when I think its Leon came up to Emma and pulled on her pants.
"Yes sweetie?" Emma asked him.
"Can I feel Harry's curly hair?" I giggled and so did Emma he was so cute he looked a lot like Emma just in a cute little 2 year old boy form.
"Here knock yourself out" I said as I picked him up he started giggling and going crazy with my hair Emma was in fits of laughter but could still see the pain behind her eyes.
I needed to find out what was up…
Louis POV
"So Abbie how you been?" I asked her generally being curious we hadn't talked much in ages.
"I've been okay I suppose were going to be a little lonely from now on though" she sighed.
"And why's that?" I asked a bit confused
"Well Liam and Vicky are sort of together and Emma's got all that Harry drama going on and the rest of the group are all together"
"Liam and Vicky really? Aww that's sweet" I smiled wishing I had the courage he had of course I'd been crushing on Abbie for ages but I wasn't sure she felt the same.
"Yeah really a little shocking but they look good together"
"How would you like to hang out this weekend just as friends of course?" I rushed the last part getting a bit nervous.
"You know what Louis that would be really nice but who said I wanted to just be friends" she winked at me then said "I have to go now text me the details"
Oh my god did that just happen I was so happy now all I needed to do was to beg Harry to help Emma look after Leon as she would be alone this weekend I hope it's not too short notice as its Friday now.
….
Harrys POV
Everyone had left mine and Liam's house now and I was in my room lying on my bed with millions of thoughts buzzing round my head when I was interrupted by the buzz of my phone I read the screen [1] New message I clicked it open it read
