The Countryside (Zianourry) (Book 1)

"Harry! Wake up!" I shouted and she jolted up from her bed. "What? What's wrong?!" "Something's wrong with Buddy!" She jerked her head at me before she flew out of her bed, threw a robe on and I followed her downstairs. "What are you talking about?" "He won't eat her breakfast, and I saw his food from last night covered in ants. He won't stand either." "Call my veterinarian!' she shouts and I nod, calling up her vet. I explained what was wrong and she told me that she was coming over soon.

She ran out the house barefoot and I picked up a pair of slippers for her. I then took the time to call Louis. "Sandra? Wha-" "I don't think that Harry will be able to see you guys today." "What? Why? W-" "Look. There's something wrong with Buddy and if it's serio-" he hung up then. I looked at my phone and groaned before I walked out of the house. I hurried to the barn and Harry was just sitting next to Buddy. She was already crying.

"Harry..." "He's old Sandy...that's why he's like this...." She cried and petted the horse who responded a bit happier. I stood there, not knowing what to do. It was like that for about 5 minutes before I heard the barn door open and I turned to see 4 people standing there. "What happened?" Louis asked. I looked at Harry, who was resting her head on her horse. "Baby?" Louis called and walked to Harry before sitting next to her. "I may...I may not have been truthful to you...and I'm sorry..." "What are you talking about sun?"

"Robin...Robin was really close to my family...before he even became my stepdad...he bought my sister and myself a horse when I was two...domestic horses normally last 20 to 30 years of age...I'm sorry," she cried and Louis took her hand, making Harry raise her head and look at Louis. "No reason to apologize baby," he said and took her into his arms. Harry immediately wrapped his arms around Louis's neck and sobbed. "Hey...everything's going to be okay..." Niall said and joined the two on the ground.

"No it won't...Buddy is the only connection that I have to Robin...he's the only and main animal that reminded me of my dad..." "It will all be okay Ms. Styles. Now may I have some room for this beloved horse?" The veterinarian asked and we nodded. Louis lifted her bridal style and carried her to the house. "What if I have to say goodbye?" She asked, but I knew that she was asking her lovers. "Then...sadly that is something that you have to go through. We will be there for you, and we can be your crying pillow as much as you need it," Liam said and Harry nods.

5 minutes later
"What were you guys going to say?" Harry asked as she was drinking her morning tea. She's still sad about Buddy, but she needs a little distraction. "We saw what you said and what you said made us really realize how much of a disappointment we are." "Don't say th-" "It's the truth honey. We gave you that ring for a reason and it was certainly not to just be looking pretty on your finger. It was a promise to make you and keep you happy and feel all the love that we have for you," Zayn said.

Harry looked at them. "I was wrong too." "Baby...you have not-" "I made a post...a post that was degrading and really mean. I would not speak about you in that light and I never will. Even if what you did hurt me or made me feel negative about myself. I just don't want to hide our relationship. You four may have experience in that, but I don't and I definitely don't want any. I don't want another chick kissing what's mine. I don't want to see headlines about you being with other women just because your manager doesn't want you to be seen with someone who fell back on their addiction. Your supposed to be my boyfriend's. Not Eleanor's, not Maya's, not Gigi's, and not some other woman that I don't even know. They don't like me and I don't like them. I want to be happy with you and that is hard for me to do when I see things like that."

Damn...that is definitely her pouring here heart out. I looked at the boys and they had tears in their eyes. "We are so sorry baby. We are so going to prove it too," Liam said and Harry nods before finishing up on her tea.
