Harry's POV

I place the car in park happy to see that the lights are still on in the house. I look in the back seat to see Kian with a frown and Roy passed out in her car seat. Flashing my lights at the house I know Kian is already upset about going home.

I jog around the car to open Kian's door.

" I wanna stay another night" Kian whines.

" I know, but Roy's going home to her mum too" I tell him as I unbuckle his seat belt.

I look over at the front door to see Lia walking over.

" See, your mum looks so happy to see you" I whisper to him. " Didn't you miss her too?"

" Yeah..." he nods.

With his seat belt off, Kian jumps up and wraps his arms around my neck. I hold onto him bringing him out of the car. I've kiss his head multiple times by the time Lia reaches us.

" Looks like you boys had a good weekend" Lia smiles.

" The best momma!" Kian greets her with the widest smile. " Roy was with us too!"

Kian reaches over and I place him on her. He gives her with a warm hug as she breathes him in.

" I'm so happy you all had a good time" she says. 

Lia glances over at me before looking at our son again.

" How about you pick out a book for me to read tonight" she tells him. His eyes sparkles as she places him down on the ground. " It better be a good one"

He takes the challenge and runs into the house waving goodbye to me. A laugh escapes my lips before I look in the car again checking on Roy.

" He's having such an easy transition with all of it" Lia says.

" Yeah" I nod. " They get on so well, I swear they forget I'm even around sometimes"

Lia laughs.

" How have you been? Since the announcement, I mean" I ask her leaning myself up against the car.

" I've been focusing on the positive. His sister makes him happy, the happiest I've ever seen him" she gives me a smile. " I won't let any of the horrific comments change my view of having Roy in his life."

Somehow Lia's been the one being dragged online. She's been placed as the villian of the story, never my intention. But Lia's never complained about it to me, not once. Like me, she just wants Kian to be happy.

" I think the seperation was a lot for him, no matter how much we tried to make things seems normal. He knew things had changed" Lia explains.

" Roy was like the sun coming out, for both of us" I chuckle taking a look down at the sleeping sun drooling over herself.

Lia takes a peak inside the car as well and lets out a small laugh.

" Are you going to the wedding next weekend?" she asks standing back up straight.

" Yeah" I nod.

" Are you going to stop the wedding?"

" What?" I ask taken back by the question.

Lia takes a deep breath shaking her head. She licks her lips trying to find the right words. Maybe the words I've refused to admit this entire time.

" You love her. You've loved her since you met her. The last time you let her became one of your darkest time. I know, I was there. Don't do this to yourself again. You deserve to get your happiness" she tells me.

For months I put Lia through hell, I see it now. I didn't think it affected her back then what I did to myself but it did. She was the one who had to watch me stumbling home drunk. She was the one that heard my crying in the bathroom on multiple occasions. She's the one who had to stand by me listening to all the songs about Cailin.

" I know I put you through a lot" I say.

Lia doesn't say anything.

" That time, two months before Kian was born, when you had to got to the hospital because you were bleeding out" I begin reminding her. " When we almost lost him, was that because of me?"

" I think it had to do with a lot of things" Lia shakes her head. " My body, stress..."

" But the stress was from me, right?" I ask.

Lia wipes a tear that ecapes her eye as it falls.

" Kian turned out to be fine" she shrugs. " There's not point in looking back on that"

I reach over and hold her in my arms. She wraps her arms around my waist. It's like no matter how much we hurt each other, the only thing that matters is our son. He's the outcome of everything we've been through, and that's what matters now.

" Momma!"

I open my eyes and Lia lets go. She begins walking towards the door when I look away from her. I close Kian's side door before walking around towards my car door.

" Harry"

I look over to see Lia holding onto the door and looking over at me.

" Don't let her go" she says before closing the door behind her.

The drive to Cailin's takes longer than I expected. Two hourss with traffic. I send Cailin a quick text to let her know. Roy wakes up a couple of times requesting to hear her favorite songs just to fall asleep in the middle of it.

I catch her talking in her sleep twice, just like Cailin would do sometimes on the tour bus. I remember recording it with the boys just to tease her about it the next morning. A time I wish I could have back to enjoy it so much more.

I park outside of Cailin's apartment building. I give the keys to the valet letting him know I'll be back down right away. Roy's asleep as I unbuckle her from the car seat. I wrap my hands around her waist as I bring her to my chest. Her head lays in the crook of my neck with her arms holding onto my shoulder. She groans with the light from the lobby catching her eyes but I kiss her head hoping it would make her feel somewhat better.

I'm annoyed at the elevator music because it might wake her up again. But she doesn't groan again. I step off on Cailin's floor and a weight on my chest beginning to build. I don't want to leave Roy. I want more time with her. I want all the time with her. I don't want to miss anything else.

I knock on the door and wait. I run my hand through Roy's blonde hair. So soft and bright. I knock again after a minute only to hear quick footsteps coming closer to the door. Cailin opens the door with her eyes quinting at the lights coming from the hallway, just like Roy.

" Sorry, I must have passed out on the couch" she says.

" It's okay" I shake my head. It's actually adorable to see her this sleepy.

" Here, I'll take her" Cailin reaches over. I hesitate for a second but I don't think Cailin catches it.

As soon as Cailin's hands reach Roy's waist, Roy tightens her grip onto me. The both of us let out a laugh before we try again. No use, her grip is as tight as can get. We try one more time but this time Roy lets out a cry as well.

" It's okay" Cailin laughs. " Do you want to come for a bit till she's really asleep?"

" Nathan wouldn't mind?" I ask her.

" Of course not" she shakes her head. " He's in Canada any way"

I won't admit it to her, but it's relief I feel. I like having time around her without him around. She's more relaxed around me like that. She doesn't have her wall up fully like this.

I walk inside her place with just the kitchen light on. She motions for me to sit on the couch while we wait for Roy to loose up on her grip. I sit on the couch with Roy on my lap, still holding onto me.

I look over to see a guitar on the floor next to the couch with papers scattered over the other side of the couch. I want to look over at what's written on them but I'll wake up Roy again if I do. Cailin sits down next to the papers as she puts her hair up in a bun.

" Were you writing new stuff?" I ask her.

She looks around and smiles.

" Yeah, got inspired by someone I guess" she teases.

" Didn't you just release an album like yesterday?" I chuckle.

Cailin places her hand over her mouth hoping her laugh won't wake Roy up.

" I can't help it" she shrugs.

" Let me see" I say.

" Not yet" she shakes her sheepishly.

" Cmon" I smile

She continues to shake her head as she hides the sheets in the sides of the couch just to makes sure I don't see them. She knows Roy is the only reason I don't jump over to see those words scribbled down.

" Momma?" Roy groans.

I look down to see her rubbing her eyes with pouting lips. 

" Yeah baby?"

" Can you put on that song that I like?" Roy requests.

" Okay" Cailin nods. " Only if you get straight to bed after"

" Okay, but can it be from that video?"

" Of course" Cailin smiles.

Roy moves her head slightly, just enough so that her eyes can watch Cailin turn the TV on. I watch Cailin go onto the YouTube app and scroll through a playlist of videos labeled All Oblivion Moments.

The video that Cailin puts on is of all of us performing at one of our shows on tour. I don't where it is exactly but it doesn't even matter. We're singing Catch My Breath, one of my favorite to perform with them. The singing, the lights, the fans. Cailin's smile throughout the song is what made it my favorite.

I can hear Roy singing along under her breath. I glance over at Cailin lip singing to it. The sparkle in her eyes makes me smile.

The next video plays automatically and Cailin doesn't stop it. She's siting comfortably in her spot with the remote in her hand. Her eyes are glued to the screen. 

It's one of the video diaries management started putting together while we were on tour. All of the behind the scenes of touring, along with recording session for the next album. There's one clip where they filming us going through a candy museum. I'm still surprised we didn't get kicked out that day.

I glance down to see Roy aslep in my arms. But I don't tell Cailin. I want to watch more videos.

Tour is no longer what it used to be. We were all still kids in a way. Pranking each other and disagreeing about things that didn't really matter. Using waterguns and bringing birthday cakes out on stage. A time that will never come back.

" Do you ever miss it? The good parts of it all?" Cailin asks quietly.

" All the time" I admit.

" Me too" 

Cailin continues playing more videos. Some of them make her emotional but most of them make her smile and laugh. Those are my favorites.

Maybe I didn't ruin her time entirely in All Oblivion. She does hold good memories from that time. Because it was truly magical.
