The Unexpected

Chapter 24: Isle Feelings

Heidi's POV

"YOU DID WHAT!" Harry roars so loudly that I think the whole campus heard him, and before I can get a word out Harry grabs the nightstand closes to him and hurls it across the room shattering it on impact against the wall, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK AND ACTUALLY INVITED THAT SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MAN NOT ONLY TO AURADON BUT TO FAMILY DAY HEIDI!" Harry yells towering over me with a murderous look on his face, "WHAT WASN'T CLICKING IN YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU HAD THE MOST HORRIBLE IDEA OF EVEN TALKING TO MY DAD! He yells again backing me up until I fully pressed up against the wall,

"What all did you tell him?" Harry growls in a dark and low tone of voice as he digs his hook into one side of wall beside me and places his other hand on the other side of the wall, "I didn't tell him much Hooky I swear, all I did was mention to him that Auradon was celebrating family day, and that maybe if he showed up the two of you could possible figure out where the two of you stand." I say kind of scared of Harry at the moment but then again I did kind of think that he would react this way.

"I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, AND MORE TO THE POINT HEIDI I DON'T WANT HIM ANY WAY INVOLVED IN HENRY'S LIFE!" Harry growls dragging his hook down the wall as the sound like nails on a chalk board ring in my ears, "I completely understand that Harry, but I just have to know something that has been on my mind ever since my dad arrived in Auradon." Harry pulls his hook out of the wall and sits down on the bed but I stay where I am because I know from his heavy breathing that he is nowhere near calm enough for anyone including me to be near him,

"Why are you trying to ruin everything?" He asks in a low tone of voice as he places his head in hands. "I am not trying to ruin anything Harry, but I couldn't help notice that ever since I have known you, never once have you ever opened up and talked about what it was like for you growing up." I say taking a careful step towards him because even though I know that I risking my health getting close to an unstable Harry, seeing my husband and the man I love more than anything in pain hurt my heart more than death itself.

"I don't talk about my childhood or my life on the isle because it is something that I would rather forget." Harry takes a deep breath as he tries to regain his composer. "I trusted you enough to know every detail of my past and everything I went through with my dad, and now I am asking you to trust me and do the same." Harry lifts his head and the pain that fills his eyes almost makes me cry, "I don't want to talk about it Heidi, I love you and all but there are just somethings that I would rather keep to myself." I sigh finally sitting down next to him taking his hand in mine,

"You need to let those wounds heal Hooky, because I know from personal experience that if you don't they will never heal and what si worse is that it will eat away." Harry pulls his hand away from mine turning his head towards the window in the room, "You might have been able to forgive Hades and start rebuilding a relationship with him, but all of that isn't even the deck of cards when it comes to my father and me." Everything in me is saying to be there for Harry but how do you be there for someone that doesn't want you there right now. 

"I am not sure what to say Harry, it is more than apparent that whatever caused you to cut your dad out of your life was something extreme." Harry simply nods his head still not looking at me, "It will be 3 years in August since I last saw my dad." I think about what was going on at that time to maybe get an idea about what happened between father and son, "That was right around the time everything happened with Ben." Harry nods his head again as he stands up,

"I did something that wasn't becoming of a villain, it something that my father could never forgive, and that night our fight was so bad that we nearly killed each other, but it was dad that told me to make a choice to either fix the mistake that I had made or to live with that mistake and be disowned from the Hook family forever." Tears fill my eyes as I can see that it is even more painful of Harry to talk about. 

"Hooky." I say walking up to him but he puts his hand up keeping me at arms lengths, "I don't want to talk anymore but my dad, my past, or anything that happened before I arrived in Auradon." I open my mouth to say something but before I can Harry storms out of the room slamming the door behind him leaving Henry and I alone.

"I think mommy hurt daddy." I say picking Henry up who stares into my eyes, "Daddy." Henry coos and I stand there speechless as Henry has officially said his first word, "Did you just say daddy?" I ask him as a part of me is over the moon that he starting to talk but yet another part of me wanted his first word to be mommy. Instead of answering me Henry goes back to speaking in baby gibberish, but I swear that I heard Henry say the word daddy.

I shake my head and turn my attention to getting Henry and myself dressed and ready for family day as I quietly find myself worried about Harry and the state that he is in.
