Henry POV
“I am sorry Abs, I always had a crush on him”, Penelope says as she looks at me. I feel my body react to it and I feel horribly sick with what is going on. I shake my head trying to push away the feelings I have coming up. I feel bad that she has feelings for me, but I can’t help it. I don’t like her, I never did.“And then you arrived and he wanted you, he never even gave two glances in my direction and I was jealous, so I went to Harry when I figured out who you were and that he wanted the two of you apart”.
“Shut up Penelope, this is not helping you”, Dad says as he looks at her but she keeps going.
“The baby is not Henry’s, it’s Harry’s”, she finally admits and I feel a weight lifting off of my c test. I can’t believe my own father would do something like this to me.
“How did you know who I was?”, Abbey asks Penelope and she looks at Harry.
“I overheard you talking
Let me know what you think.
Abbey POV “Abbey, wake up”, I hear Leo shout in my ear as I blink my eyes a couple of times. Why the hell is he waking me up in the middle of the night? “What?”, I ask rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands and then looking at my watch to see that it is only three thirty in the morning. Argh. It’s way too early. “Penelope is in the hospital”, he says and automatically I sit sip on the bed looking at Leo that is already dressed. “What happened?”, I ask and he throws me my t-shirt that was hanging on the back of the chair. “Get dressed, Richie will be here soon”, he says and I move out of the bed getting myself ready in a couple of minutes. As I am finishing to tie my shoes I hear my phone ring, I look to see Roxy’s name and I answer straight away. “We’re outside”, she says as I answer it. I grab my hoodie from the end of the bed and I shout for Leo to hurry up and he c
Hello everyone.I apologise for the mistake on the names (writing Harry instead of Henry). But that doesn't give any of you the right to be rude to me. I appreciate people telling me I made a mistake, but I am not tolerating any rudeness. I have always been open to all of you and I explained more than once what is going on in my life but some of you really don't care.I have been trying to update while still sick and writing when I get a chance and even like that people are rude about a mistake. I get it shouldn't happen but I am only human. Because people can't tolerate any mistakes this book won't be updated anymore until I am completely recovered so mistakes are not made again. Stay Safe Love Peyton
Abbey POVThe train ride gets me even more anxious than I was before. I have been trying to mentally prepare for what I am about to encounter, but I honestly don’t know what will happen. I keep playing different scenarios in my head and how to respond to them, but hell, that man is insane. As I came in a hurry, my phone was almost without any battery, and I didn’t even know if I would be able to walk around London without it.The train comes to a stop, and I get out, looking straight away for a taxi to take me to my destination. I know the address, and I give it to the driver turning my phone off to save some battery. The ride takes around thirty minutes because of the traffic. I can’t help but look out of the window as we drive through quite emblematic places in London. I feel my heart beating fast as the taxi comes to a stop in front of the big building. I look up, and I take a deep breath as I walk i
Henry POV“They are doing some exams but apparently they can’t find a heartbeat”, I let out, Abbey is. Now sinking on her chair with her face between her hands and all I want to do is hug her. Keep her near me. But I know that today is now about us.“That’s horrible, she must be terrified”, Roxy says and I nod my head without taking my eyes off of Abbey.“As soon as she is back in her room they will let me in”, I let out and.“Hey mate, did you, erm, you know called your dad?”, Richie asks and I nod my head.“Yeah I did, but no surprise there, the guy doesn’t care, he really doesn’t believe the kid is his, he wants nothing to do with this, he even threatened to destroy her reputation if she came after him with paternity tests and stuff”, I say and I can see that everyone is shocked by my father’s reaction. I am
Abbey POVThe train ride back to Uni was absolutely boring, I had no battery on my phone and I was feeling extremely nervous. I made up my mind, I am fighting for Henry, we will be together and I don’t care what the Payne clan thinks about it. They can all go to hell for all that I care.Looking out of the window all I keep thinking is how I am going to tell Henry that I want to get back together. Should I just kiss him and let out bodies do the work or should I just sit him down and talk to him? By now he already knows the damage I’ve made to his father. I bet he called him and made up loads of crap. I bet he distorted everything that happened. He probably will make Henry think that I am a nob. Fuck.Why do I do this shit to myself? I don’t I think before acting? I should’ve talked to Henry before kneeing his father to the floor. Stupid me. No point now to duel on what I should’ve done differently. What is done is done and I just n
Abbey POV I blink my eyes a couple of times when I start to regain conscience of what is happening. My head is pounding and I look around trying to figure out where I am. The light coming from the big window blinds me and I close my eyes straight away. How long have I been asleep? I open my eyes slowly and I look around. I realise I am laying down in the middle of a king size bed. I pull myself up and sit on the middle looking around. It is a very luxurious room with a settee at the end and a vanity table. There’s two doors opposite each other. I look out of the window and I can see the Big Ben. What the hell? Why am I in London? How long have I been out for the count? My heart is beating fast and my mouth is so dry it feels like its full of sand. I pass my hands through my hair and slowly I get out of bed. I am bare foot but still wearing the black dress I put on for my date with Henry. Henry. Where is he? Memories from the night before come crashing
Abbey POV “Get away from me, you are crazy. I am not my mum. I’m Abbey, I’m Henry’s girlfriend. Harry look at me, I’m not her”, I say but he shakes his head and grabs me by my arms. He applies a lot of his strength and I know I will be bruised. “Why are you lying to me? Why? Why are you pretending to be someone else? I know you love me, I know you do”, he says as one tear spills down his eyes. “You’re hurting me”, I let out as one tear escapes my eye. I am not crying for pain or fear, I am crying because I am angry. I want this bastard to stay the fuck away from me and let me go home. Harry’s finger brushes the tear away as he looks deep into my eyes. “You are as beautiful as the day I met you, why did you run away from me? Why did you leave me?”, he asks me and I feel my heart beating fast. He has lost his mind and I don’t know what to do. There’s no convincing him that I am no
Harry POV “Mr Payne, your wife is here sir”, I hear my secretary announce through the speaker. I take a deep breath and I stand up as the door opens and Rita walks into my office. She looks as beautiful as she did on the day we got married. “Ex-wife”, I hear Rita say as she walks past my secretary and into my office. “Sweetheart”, I say as she approaches me and she stops on her tracks and looks me from head to toe. “Don’t call me that”, she says as she takes her seat on the chair opposite from mine on my desk. I take my seat and I offer her a smile. “What to I owe the pleasure?”, I ask her and she takes a deep breath, “Where is my son Harry?, I know you know where he is, I just want to know if he is okay”, she says and I take a deep breath as I lean back on my chair. “Hasn’t he come back home yet?”, I ask and she shakes her head. I know he hasn’t gone back home b
Henry POV Today is our wedding day. It’s been four years since I proposed to Abbey and she said yes. A lot has happened sine then. We have grown up a lot together, we have been enjoying life together while she finished university and we ended up moving to London, Abbey found an amazing job opportunity there and I dropped everything to follow her. Luckily the company I work for has a company in London and I was sent there. I honestly can’t believe how perfect our life is. I am extremely nervous to see her as I stand here at the altar. We are having a small ceremony as we didn’t want anything big. From my family only mum, my brother and their plus ones were invited. I made sure to leave the Payne behind and I don’t care for any of them, If they find out I got married is their problem. Since everything that happened none of them made the effort to try and contact me, and honestly I think it was for the best becaus
Abbey POV Henry graduated yesterday, and it was a memorable day, both our families together as if there was no bad blood between them. It was absolutely incredible. I can’t even believe that is happening. Roxy came along to the event, and later on, Richie appeared, and I could see they broken up. I feel bad for Richie. He was completely crazy about her, but Roxy played with his heart and Leo’s, and now she is alone. Leo found someone that didn’t want to hide him. Roxy left early, and I have to say I am extremely disappointed in her. She tried to talk to Richie, trying to get back with him, but he said no, he loved her too much for all the pain she put him through. I really don’t blame him. You probably think I am a hypocrite because I forgave Henry for everything that happened between us, but at the end of the day, our love is unique, and I have never loved anyone the way I love him, and I know he feels the same. It was a mistake, a one time mistake that he made, while Roxy
Henry POV Abbey is coming out of the hospital today and I am making sure that everything is ready for her to come home. Leo gave me the key to their house and allowed me to move in with them. I haven’t actually told Abbey yet, but my financial circumstances are a little different right now. I am not using my dad’s money and I am definitely not using his name to get away with things. I finish making the bed with fresh bedding and I look around proud of my achievement. Her room looks and smells clean, everything is tidy and I have her favourite things on hand. I even got a mini fridge to have in her room in case she wants a cold drink and to have some milk as I got a kettle to have here as well if she wants a cup of tea while I am at work. I have a part-time job at a publishing company, I just deliver mail, b ut hey, we need to start somewhere and I am going to prove myself and make my way up. After all I am a studying business and I already have some ideas tha
Abbey POV “Henry”, I let out as soon as Leo walks out of the door. My heart is beating fast, and I am extremely confused. I know I like Henry, and apparently I liked him more than I ever thought it was possible. Unfortunately I can’t remember anything. I take a deep breath as I see him walking slowly towards the bed where I am laying down. He looks so sexy that it is making my mouth water. “I don’t want you nowhere near that guy”, Henry says, and I shake my head. Even though I understand why he doesn’t want me near Harry, I have to ask him why he did it, why he made his own sun suffer so much, how could he make his son miserable? Does he only love himself? Doesn’t he care about anyone else? “Henry, please”, I say, and he shakes his head while he wraps his fingers around mine and takes my hand to his mouth. My stomach is full of butterflies, and I feel like a youn
Henry POV I open my eyes and I feel like I have slept like a baby, I can’t remember the last time I had a good night sleep like this. I take a deep breath and I stretch my arms above my head and I can hear my bedroom door opening. “How did you sleep?”, mum asks walking in with a tray and it smells so good that makes my mouth get full of saliva. “Like a baby, thanks for last night mum”, I say as she places the tray on my legs after I sit up on the bed. Mum kisses the top of my head and assures me that that’s what mum’s do. If it is or not I am extremely grateful that she spent the night here giving me cuddles and strength to move on with my life and forget the hell my dad put me and Abbey through. “Come on, have something to eat and then have a shower, you have a girlfriend to go visit”, mum says as she walks out of the room. I look at the tray and smile. She made me a bacon sandwich with brown sauce, orange juice and coffee. She really does know me. A
Abbey POV "Mum, please stop crying. I am fine", I let out, but she kept caressing my cheeks and looking at me as if she would never be able to look at me again. "Do you need anything", Dad asks kissing the top of my head as soon as he walks back into the room. I look at the door, but Henry doesn't follow him. "Where's Henry?" I ask, and dad looks back at the closed door. "He was gonna make some phone calls, and then he will be here", Dad replies, and I look at the door. I don't know why I have this horrible feeling he shouldn't be outside. He needs to be next to me. I know we have only just started dating, and we don\t really know each other, but I can't think straight being away from him. Mum and dad stand next to me when I ask them again what happened, but they keep giving me vague answers, as in I was in a car crash. I try and remember why I would've been in a car, but I really can't, making me stressed. "Thank god
Henry POV “Hey”, he says and I am not willing to talk. I pull him into the room and lock the door behind me. “Henry, mate, so glad to see you’re okay”, Alex let out and I can’t help but punch him in his face. Alex falls back on his ass and his nose starts blurting out blood straight away. “Hey, get up”, I say and he looks at me while he is holding his nose with both of his hands. “You broke my nose”, he spits out “You’re lucky if that’s the only thing I am breaking today”, I let out while I pull him up by his t-shirt. I shove him against the wall and his eyes are wide up. “Fight me you coward”, I shout in his face. “I am not fighting you”, Alex says trying to walk past me but I punch him on his side straight into his ribs making him bend over and fall on his knees on the floor. “Fuck you”, I let out. “Henry, mate”, Alex says as he coughs. “I am not your mate, I am your worst nightmare”, I say lif
Henry POV “Oh, thank fuck, you’re awake”, I let out as soon as Abbey’s eyes open. I have never been so happy to look into those beautiful eyes. “What happened?”, She whispers, and I can’t help but let a tear escape my eyes. It’s not my place to explain to Abbey what happened, and I feel guilty as it is for her having to go through what she did with my dad, and I wasn’t there to protect her. I tell her I will go get the nurse and her parents, and she doesn’t protest about it. As they all chat, I keep my distance, but I keep my eyes on Abbey. I don’t think I will ever be able to get away from her, and I want to be next to her for the rest of my life. These last couple of days have been hell for me. Being awake and not being able to do anything to bring her back to me was slowly driving me insane. The doctor asks us to leave, and I don’t want to, but Devin gives me a small nod, and I follow him out. He has been through hell, and you can see on his face.
Abbey POV I open my eyes, and my head is aching, making it worse with the light. I shut them straight away, and I rub my head. Slowly I open my eyes, and I can see Henry sitting next to me with his hands on his head. I look around, and I don’t recognise the room I am in. It’s all white and bright. Where am I? “Oh, thank fuck you’re awake”, I hear Henry say, and I look at him. Worry is plastered all over his face, and his beautiful blue eyes look tired. He has dark circles around them as he holds my hand tightly between his. “What happened?” I ask Henry, that has now a tear rolling down his cheek. “I’ll go get the nurse and your parents”, Henry says, giving my hand a slight squeeze. I nod slightly, but it sends pain shooting up my head. I start to feel dizzy and like I am about to throw up. The nurse walks in as soon as Henry presses the nurse button, and she smiles, looking at me. “Hello Abbey, how are you feeling?”, She asks as she st
