Break On Me
Chapter 016
-Two Weeks Later-
⏩Harry⏪
Katie was sitting on my lap with my finger stuck in her mouth, this child does nothing but cut teeth it seems lately. But that was okay, I would do anything to keep her happy and entertained. Her mother, on the other hand, was ticked off about something that I had done to her – what that something is.. well, I have no clue honestly.
I guess it was because I was dragging her to Rio again, but for business this time. To my own defense, I asked her if she wanted to stay home and she said a simple no. So, technically, she done this to herself.
“Yeah, thanks for not doing what I fucked asked you to do.’’ Emmy mumbled with a huff as she walked by me, coming from the bedroom of the jet.
‘’I didn’t know you asked me anything.’’ I say, honestly I never heard her say a word to me.
‘’I know, trust me. You’re always off in la-la land not giving a shit what is going on in the real world.. Typical Harry, not listening or paying me any attention.’’ The last few words she said under her breath, but she didn’t keep too quiet..
‘’Not pay you any attention? Oh, please, that’s all I give you.’’ I laugh out of shock, she was such a bitch and I have no idea what she’s even going on about or why even.
“I asked you fifteen minutes ago to get a bath ready for Katie so I bath her before we land, but what did I come in here to find you doing, oh that’s right – just sitting on the couch staring at the god damn wall.’’ Emmy says, raising her voice as she slams the bathroom door with all the strength she had.
Katie looks up at me, those eyes staring into mine, ‘’I know..’’ I sigh to her, pretty positive about what she’s thinking in that little mind of hers.
I sit her down on the blanket spread on the floor for her covered with toys and stuffed animals. She quickly finds something and gets herself occupied, she was easy to please at times – unlike someone else.
With a sigh, I leave Katie in peace and go over to the bathroom door. I grab the handle expecting for it to be locked but it wasn’t. I went on in to the bathroom and did nothing but sigh again as I saw Emmy sitting on the side of the bath tub with her hands covering her face, elbows pressed into her knees.
I heard the sound of her sobbing into her hands, letting herself go and breaking down. I hated to see her cry, and not knowing the reason hurt me even more. I lick my lips lightly as I go the short distance to her.
Quietly, I kneel down in front of her, putting my hands on her waist as I lean close to her, “Baby girl, tell me what’s wrong please.’’ I whisper to her, hoping and praying that she will move her hands and tell me everything and anything.
She didn’t reply to me, just begun to cry harder into her hands, slouching over more than before.
‘’Emmy, please baby.. I’m sorry, I have no idea what I did, please just talk to me babe. You know I’m here.. please.’’ I bite the inside of my cheek nervously as she slowly removes her hands from in front of that beautiful face.
“I don’t.. know, Harry.’’ She mumbles to me, but not looking at me, keeping those pretty eyes sealed shut.
‘’Listen to me baby, I’m sorry I didn’t hear you earlier and I apologize if I had done anything to make you made today. I love you and I hope you feel better soon babe. Now, open those eyes Em, look at me.’’ I ask with a sigh as I squeeze her waist a little, for no certain reason – I can so I do when I get the chance.
A few second passed before she opened her eyes, looking right into my gaze on her. She bites her lip lightly, nervous as she stares back at me. Her eyes were puffy and red, the crying had gotten to her quick.
‘’Now, baby,’’ I say in a whisper as I place one hand on her soft cheek, leaving the other on her side, ‘’Talk to me. I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me, and I know you don’t feel good at all. Please just tell me what’s going on honey, that’s all I want.. is to make sure you’re okay.’’ I say with a light smile, hoping I convinced her to spill it all to me, hopefully that is.
Surprising me a little, she pushed my hand away from her face and motioned for me to move back some – her hand lightly pushing on my shoulder.
I don’t get up just yet, but I do slide back some on my knees so she can get up or do whatever it was she wanted to do.
As I watch Emmy’s movement, she releases a sigh here and there as she runs a hand through her hair, trying to get it all out of her face. But soon she sits down on her knees in front of me, looking straight at me as she puts her hands on my face, her hands so cold but yet so soft.
She pulls me closer to her – to keep myself balanced I put my hands on the side of the bathtub on either side of her. Not moving her hands, she licks her lips and takes a huge inhale, releasing it just as slow.
‘’The reason.. I’ve been so bitchy lately is because I.. I feel like we do too much. Like, we go on too many trips and we never have time to go visit family or just.. just stay at home with each other and be together. Harry.. I love you with all of my heart and with all of my soul, but,’’ Emmy pauses, leaving me completely hanging as she drops one hand from my face, resting it on my side.
‘’But?’’ I mumble my simple question, what in God’s name did that mean? But what..?
I stared into Emmy’s eyes, a single tear dripped from the corner of her eye and slowly slide down her cheek, “If things don’t change soon… then things between us will be over.’’ She whispers the heart breaking sentence to me, crushing all the life I had in my body, all the hopes and the dreams.
Everything was.. shattered.
“I don’t.. want that, Emmy. I love you. Please don’t-‘’
‘’Harry..’’ She cuts me off with a sigh as she leans a little closer to me, keeping our eye contact, ‘’I said if.’’
‘’How.. how can I.. prevent that?’’ I ask with a distressed sigh, determined to keep my girl and my daughter in my life, under the same roof.
Emmy leaned back some, removing her hand from my face. I longed to feel that touch already, it meant so damn much to me to have her with me and the fear of losing her has never felt this bad – I guess because it came from her mouth this time..
With a soft smile on her face, she grabs my hands and laces our fingers together. I look down at the joined hands between us and my heart skips a beat – God only knows what the hell will happen to me if this girl leaves me, for any reason.
‘’Harry, you have a daughter and you have me.. One day you and I will get married.. we might have more kids.. we might decide to move, whatever.. my point is.. you have to realize what’s more important.. Money.. or me and Katherine.’’ Emmy tells me.
My eyes connect with hers again and I see the pain, as do I feel it.
‘’I have to work to provide for-‘’
She slowly shakes her head from side to side, making me cut off my sentence.
‘’I didn’t say quit working… you just need to slow down some. You work from home all the time and things go fine. But perhaps you just need to put a cut to all of this shows, these trips.. Katie has grandparents and family, Harry, we can’t keep our child away from them forever.’’ Emmy informs me of her point, her true meaning.
‘’If I change things.. you swear you won’t leave me?’’ I ask, biting the inside of my cheek, completely nervous.
‘’I swear on my life, Harry. I love you entirely too much to leave you over something that didn’t mean anything to me, so I hope you understand how much this means to me..’’
‘’I do, baby, I do.’’ I nod lightly, assuring her I know and I know how to solve these issues I didn’t know we had.
‘’Good, I love you. And I’m sorry, Harry, that I got mad.. That’s just been on my mind for weeks.’’ She sighs, leaning her lips in to mine.
‘’It’s okay baby, I understand, I love you too.’’ I smile gently as my eyes fall shut, her sweet soft lips against mine.
Sealed with a blissful kiss.

Omg poor Harry but I can absolutely see Emmys reasoning for leaving
