Chapter 82

~I've been asked a few times how many chapters are left. I don't know exactly how many just yet. I do know it will not reach 100 chapters. At least I'm not planning on it reaching 100. I will try to figure out exactly how many in the coming week. Once I figure it out I will inform you all :) ~

Chapter 82

Charlie's pov

"We need to talk. I know you have been trying to reach me but-"

"I no longer care. Get the fuck out"

Harry made his way over to me. He was not going to give his dad a chance and I didn't blame him.

"Why would you let him in?" He scolded me. "If he can hurt my sister he will definitely hurt you Charlie"

"If you understood what your-"

Harry turned glaring at his dad.

"What part of get the fuck out did you not understand. I don't want you here. You made it clear that if I didn't leave Charlie you were done with me right? Then you came to the hospital and rambled off a bunch of bullshit, that I've officially decided is just that. More bullshit. You left me with so many questions an-"

"Son I told you I was trying to protect you! It was a mistake"

"Protect me? By only giving me a few details verses the truth? Sounds like more of your goddamn mind games. I've told you before I'm not playing anymore"

"Harry listen to me. For once just hear me out."

His dad was begging. It was a new side of Eric Styles I never thought I would see. One where he seemed vulnerable. He stepped towards us and Harry moved in front of me. I frowned stepping to his side. He looked down at me his eyebrows pulled together in a deep frown of his own.

"I'm fine"

"Char-"

"You need to find the jump drive. That's what they want."

"They? Who are they? You keep talking about how we're in danger and 'they' are going to hurt us. You're not making any sense"

"I'm leaving my money to you. All of it. The company, everything. It will all be yours"

"Dad what are you talking about? I don't need nor do I want any of your fucking money! Is that what this is about? You're so damn paranoid that everyone is out to get you and your money, it's driving us all insane. Especially you!"

"Harry if I tell you anymore details.." He paused seeming to contemplate the idea before continuing. "I can't. It's just going to make things worse"

"You need to leave dad and do not come back. The last thing I want is you near Charlie or Aidan. Ever!"

"Harry I know I've disappointed you but please-"

"Where's my phone?" Harry started patting his jeans down.

"Why do you need it?" I eyed him.

"If he doesn't leave, I'm calling the police to escort him out"

Ed and I both looked at Harry shocked. Not wanting his father at our apartment was understandable. Calling the police to have him removed was a bit much.

"You would actually call the police?" His dad looked hurt. I almost felt bad for him. He backed away appearing defeated. Maybe he realized it was a lost cause. He had done so much damage that his words meant nothing. Pushing Harry away was an understatement. Eric had ruined any chance of a relationship with his son a long time ago.

"Are you leaving or am I calling?"

"Harry don't. Eric just leave. Don't make this any harder, please?" I begged him.
