《The Ballet Shoes》I'm not going to change for you Mum

Advertisement

Harry couldn't really sleep at all that entire night. He just laid there in a mess of covers and let his mind take over his thoughts.

When the sun creeped through the crack of the curtains he groaned and scooted deeper into the covers. He could hear his name being called from downstairs probably for breakfast. He honestly wasn't hungry.

Eventually he fell asleep underneath the covers still hugging the pillow tightly even though it was morning. He took himself to a better place where Louis and him were happy. Where they would chase each other around the apartment.

Louis however had a nightmare that left him awake and he couldn't go back to sleep. He couldn't get it out of his head what he had done and the look on Harry's face. He hated himself for not chasing after him he knew that's what Harry wanted.

He reached for his phone off the night stand. He dialed and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" Jays voice answered.

"Mum," Louis said letting every emotion he felt show in his voice, "I've fucked up." Louis cried.

"What do you mean L, what did you do?" Jay questioned with a gentle tone.

"I messed up, I-", Louis started crying again, "I told Harry he really was a bet, that our son was nothing."

"Louis darling," Jay began, "do you love him?"

"Yes mum I do so much I want to marry him. I've asked his hand he said yes, but I don't think he will forgive me for what I've said to him." Louis said.

"Go to him Louis, don't sit there and expect him to come walking back in. You go to him L, if you love him as much as you say you must go after him." Jay said.

"Mum I don't know where he is." Louis said feeling helpless.

"My boy if I were him and I needed some where to go, I'd go to my only other home." Jay assured.

"Thank you mum, so much, but what if he doesn't want to see me?" Louis started thinking about all the bad things.

He heard Jay giggle.

"What's funny?" Louis questioned.

"You overthinking things love is what's funny. Now I do believe you should get going." Jay reminded him.

"Right okay bye mum I-" Louis stopped himself.

"I love you too." Jay said before hanging up.

I didn't say I love you Louis thought. Louis quickly packed a small bag and wasted no time getting to his car. He remembered that there was still the broken dishes on the kitchen floor.

It was too late to go quickly clean it up but Harry already knew about them.

With slight speeding it took Louis a little over 2 and a half hours to get there. He rang the doorbell and Gemma answered with William in her arms. William smiled at his daddy and Louis cooed.

"I know what you're doing here and I'm surely not going to stop you." Gemma smiled.

Louis wrapped her in a hug thanking her over and over.

"He's been asleep for a while so you let him sleep he needs it, he was asleep when I went in to grab a diaper for him ten minutes ago." Gemma said.

Louis nodded and kissed his son on the cheek.

"I love you my son." Louis said with meaning.

"Upstairs and last door on the left." Gemma said before walking off somewhere.

Louis walked up the stairs quietly and to the last door on the left. He opened it quietly. Sure enough Harry was still asleep, Louis could see his mop of curls underneath the covers. Louis shut the door quietly and saw a small arm chair in the corner. He made himself at home in the chair. He passed time by taking Harry's laptop out but a slight shine from the sun hitting something in a pocket caught his eye. He quietly unzipped the pocket and put the laptop aside and reached inside the pocket. His hand found the object and pulled it out.

It was Harry's ring. Louis' eyes began watering. A million questions ran through his head. Was he really going to leave him?

"L-Louis! NO! STOP!" Harry's horrid screams filled the room he was thrashing through the air.

Before Louis could think he was at the bed. Wrapping his arms around Harry to wake him.

"Haz baby wake up, you're dreaming." Louis said softly.

Harry was panting and sweating. He opened his eyes quickly and looked up at the boy.

"Lou?" Harry was still tense under Louis, "what are you doing here?"

"I-" Louis was at a loss for words, "I came here because I should've went after you the moment you left the apartment with our son."

Harry sat up and looked at him. There was now space between them.

"You hurt me Louis just like you always do." I said.

"I know but–" Louis paused.

"But what Louis?" I pushed.

"But were you going to leave me?" Louis holds up the ring.

"I told you before Louis that I could never leave you, I just needed time away from you. It seems we both need it." Harry explains reaching for the ring and Louis let's him have it.

"So why did you take it off then?" Louis questioned.

"Because looking at it made me think it wasn't really anything that we," I said waving between us, "meant nothing, that our son meant nothing."

Louis shook his head. The tears flooding his eyes again.

"Baby the only lie was me saying that. What we have is real! I love you more than anything. You two are my everything." Louis cried harder into his hands.

I leaned over and kissed Louis' hair.

"You'll always hurt me Louis, I know. I swear to you that no matter what happens I'll love you baby so much so much." I said and Louis looked at me with watery eyes.

I pressed my forehead to Louis' and nodded. Louis grazed his lips against Harry's. I licked his and Louis connected our lips. I could taste the salt in Louis' tears.

"I love you no matter what." Louis whispered against his lips.

I slid back on the ring slowly. They pulled back from each other.

"What took you so long to get here?" I asked.

"Stupidity." Louis answered flatly.

I shrug.

"I was waiting on you to come wanting you to come the minute I got here." I admitted.

"What was your nightmare about? You screamed my name and said no." Louis questioned hooking his arm around my waist.

"Those boys that chased me that day," I began and looked down, "you got jumped by them and a few others and no one would help you I was being held back."

"I'm okay though." Louis assured.

"I know Lou but you know the last time I had these bad dreams and stuff I got hurt. I don't want you by yourself anymore." I said letting my worry show in my voice.

"I can take–" Louis began but was cut off.

Harry got up and stood in front of him.

"Suppose they have a gun just like Liam did, suppose they didn't just shoot you in the shoulder but in your heart or some other vital spot! You can't take of yourself Louis! We had no idea Liam had a gun until the last minute! There was nothing we could do!" I said loudly tears streamed down his cheeks.

Louis stood up and wrapped Harry in a hug.

"I'm sorry princess." Louis said.

"I can't lose you Louis! The pain I felt from just this felt horrible and I don't want to feel the pain I would if you-" Louis cut him off by kissing me softly and deep.

"Shsh. Don't think about that." Louis said.

Louis kissed Harry all over his face causing Harry to giggle.

"I haven't showered in a proper day so I need one! Then I need to go check my email for a reply from Mrs.Bramble." I said now feeling a bit happier.

"Aye mind if I join you?" Louis quirked a brow.

"Aye don't you have a son to go take care of?" I said playfully standing up and heading towards the dresser for some clothes and my bad full of my necessary shower stuff.

"Your sister can take of him for just a few minutes come on baby, we haven't showered together in ages." Louis pouted.

I rolled my eyes at his childish act and bit my lip.

"I don't have my own bathroom so no naughty business." I said pointing a finger.

"Yeah, yeah." Louis said sneakily grabbing the condom from his pocket and following behind Harry to the bathroom down the hall.

Harry started the water and let it warm up. He and Louis stripped awkwardly. Harry turned around just to check the water but as soon as he did Louis was behind him.

"What are you doing?" I said gasping as Louis teasingly peppered kisses down my neck.

Louis pinned me against the wall so I couldn't move. Attacking my lips with his I moaned into his beautiful mouth.

"Shhh! They might hear us." Louis teased as he trailed his kisses down my stomach and stopping just above my dick.

I quickly stepped into the shower not wanting my moans to be heard further. Louis placed the still wrapped condom on the shelf of the shower. I stepped under the water letting it cascade down my body. Louis let his lips find my neck and kissed it gently. I bit my lip wanting to take him right then but the pleasure of his lips exploring my body was amazing.

Louis wrapped his mouth around me by surprise and I let out a small moan. I laced my fingers through his hair and pulled it gently earning a moan from Louis. He reaches for the condom on the shelf and slid it over his length. I frowned.

"What's wrong princess?" Louis said.

"I-" I started but shut my mouth.

"What?" Louis pushed.

"I just wanted to blow you a little but it's okay." Harry said feeling the ache in his length and the warm feeling in his stomach.

"I'm sorry princess what about later?" Louis offered.

Harry nodded and got more kisses before Louis finally slid into him. I felt the slight pinch and relaxed as Louis began sliding in and out. Slow at first then faster. I throw back my head once he hits the right spot and come undone within minutes. Louis plants sloppy kisses on my lips as he comes undone and says my name over and over.

"I love you." I say with a smile.

"I love you most." he returns a smile.

We finish our shower quickly and get dressed. Louis grabs my hand and squeezes it.

"You remember that time we both said I love you no matter what way before this?" Louis questions.

"Yeah." I smile.

"Well that was the night I realized you were everything to me." Louis giggled.

"Okay Nicholas Sparks lets go down stairs I'm starved." I said buttoning the last button on my shirt.

"We may need to get our son from your sister we leave him with her any longer who knows what more shes going to do." Louis giggled as they held hands walking out Harry's room.

They were met with Anne walking down the long hall.

"Hi mum." I smiled.

"Hi." Anne said simply.

"Mrs. Twist." Louis greeted.

"I see everything's all good again." Anne's voice was flat and unreadable to both Harry and Louis.

I nodded not wanting my mother to ruin things more.

"We're going to the kitchen to get something to eat." I said pulling Louis along.

Anne was really cringing at Louis. She didn't like him but she knew there was nothing she could really do about it.

"Hello Harry! Haven't seen you around here in ages!" one of the maids said.

"There's so many of you I can't remember who you are. I'm sorry." I said feeling embarrassed.

"It's Annette you loved my chicken dishes when I made them either my soups or pastas you loved it! You would make me make you those every time I was here! Would you like a dish right now? I'm not doing anything." Annette smiled.

I looked at Louis who licked his lips in approval.

"Yes I'd love some! How about some of that garlic roasted chicken pasta?" I raised a brow.

"Right absolutely! I'll come get you when it's done!" Annette smiled turning on her heel to go start.

"Annette love, have you seen my sister?" I questioned wanting to see his baby.

"Um I think she just left on a walk with your beautiful boy!" Annette said.

"Right thank you she shouldn't be gone long then." I said.

Harry and Louis made themselves at home on the couch in one of the rooms. The house was so big too big.

"So you don't plan on staying here long do you?" Louis asked after too long of silence.

I remained silent. I did but I knew if I told him that he'd say no. I had to tell him though.

"Yes, just a few more days Lou. I'm so tired of being so distant with my mum when we used to be so close." I admitted opening my laptop to check my email.

"Oh." Louis said flatly.

"I'm thinking if my email says she'd love for me to come back I won't be able to pay for the whole thing to finish it and be able to teach classes of my own to children like I dream of doing. I don't just want her to pay for everything I want her back in my life." I said.

Louis sighed and nodded.

"Whatever you do just be careful." Louis said pulling Harry into a cuddle.

I rested my head against his chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. I haven't seen Robin at all since we've been here. Only mum and Gemma and a few of the servants.

"There you two are!" Annette smiled, "your lunch is ready."

"Right thank you." I said with a smile and got up with Louis.

We walked into the kitchen and found our plates fixed and ready on the counter. We took them back to the living room, and ate.

Louis shoved a big forkful into his mouth and made a face.

"What's wrong with it?" I questioned putting another forkful in my mouth.

"It doesn't taste good." Louis said putting the plate down on the coffee table.

"I think it's delicious it's one of my favorite dishes of hers." I said.

"I don't like whatever is in it." Louis said sitting back.

"I can go fix you something else if you want?" I offered.

Louis nodded and followed me to the kitchen. I put my now empty plate in the sink and put Louis' on the counter for me to finish.

"What do you want to eat?" I questioned.

"I don't know hmm, pizza." Louis said.

I rolled my eyes at his choice of food. I grab a frozen pizza from the freezer and turn on the oven.

"It will be a little bit." I said sitting at the counter.

Eventually his personal pizza finishes and I cut it for him. He scarfs it down quickly and finishes it with a loud burp.

"That's attractive." I giggle taking his plate to the sink.

"Sorry can't help it was good." Louis said giggling too.

We ended up back on the couch and with William this time. Gemma arrived back just as we walked into the living room.

Louis had the baby in his arms.

"My baby boy." Louis cooed.

"My boys." I smiled at them.

Louis leaned over and kissed me. He deepened it and teased my lips with his tongue making me giggle.

"My princess." Louis said against my lips.

I kissed him again because even though it had only been a little bit since we last kissed I missed it. The taste of his lips on mine and how they fit so perfectly. Like we were made for each other.

"I've missed you Lou so much." I say kissing him.

I was still aware of William between us. So Louis put him on the floor to play. I climb on his lap straddling him. Our kiss turning into a make out. Heated.

"I've missed you too princess." Louis whispered against my lips.

"If you two don't mind I'd love for you not to do that in my house!" Anne boomed from behind them.

How long has been there? I thought. Getting off Louis' lap.

"Were you watching us?!" I asked letting my annoyance show.

"Long enough to get fed up." Anne answered crossing her arms.

"Mum we just had a problem and we've made up." I said.

"I don't care Harry, don't do that in my house!" Anne snapped.

"Why do you hate me mum?!" I yelled and William started crying.

Louis picked William up and he stopped.

"Why mum?!" Harry repeated just as loud.

"Because-" Anne started.

"Because why mum tell me?! All I've ever wanted so many times was you, when I got shot I wanted you there when I lost my best friend I wanted you there! And you weren't there!" I started crying.

"Because you're nothing I want you to be! The day you entered Ballet you became a disappointment! I never wanted my boy to be what he is! Look at you! You're in love with a poor boy, you've had his kid!" Anne snapped.

"I love Louis mum and he loves me! We don't regret our son! Not one bit in fact he's the best thing that's ever happened to us! I love Ballet and no matter what you say I'm not giving it up! I have all I need in my life mum a car, a decent home, a family, except you I don't have you and I want you." I said tears streaming down my cheeks.

Anne looked at the boy silently and looked at Louis.

"I'm well aware that you don't who I am mum but I'm not going to change. Please mum." I got on my knees in front of her.

Anne finally broke down all her guilt from leaving her son showed as she too fell next to Harry and cried hugging her boy.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry." Anne sobbed.

I didn't accept the apology right off. I could but didn't. I couldn't as much as I wanted to.

"I was so stupid and wrong for not talking to you because you took up Ballet. I'm no mother for doing that to you." Anne said.

I shook my head Louis was now sat on the sofa again with William. I however was still on the floor with my mum.

"It was wrong mum, I hated you for the longest time." I admit.

"Do you still hate me?" Anne sniffled.

"I don't know mum, you have a lot to do before I can say otherwise." I said with a shrug.

She nods and stands to her feet and so do I.

"What do I need to do, to show you I'm truly sorry?" Anne asked unsure.

"I can't tell you that, it's something you need to figure for yourself." I said turning on my heel and leaving her alone to think.

I can only hope she really is sorry because if she isn't I'm done trying to get something that may very well be nothing.

I really don't like writing with the I as Harry. So I'm going to continue writing it using Harry walked or Harry said for example.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU REALLY THINK ANNE IS GOING TO STEP UP LIKE HARRY WANTS HER TO!!! DO YOU THINK LOUIS BELIEVES IT? BEING HOW PROTECTIVE HE IS.
