Doing it Alone: Sequeal to Giving Her Away

Doing it Alone: Chapter 14

Jennifer

Oh my god! OH MY GOD.

“Jeny I'm sorry,” Devon said softly.” Just...please stay. I'll leave and leave you alone I promise,” he said.

“IN love with me?! Are you insane?!” I cried, “Where was this four years ago?! I’ve only been with Harry for THREE!!!!”

“Are you saygin if I had said something then?!” he asked, hopefully.

“Yes.. if you had said somethign then I would have tried... but Dev.. I’m married now... and I love Harry.. it’s just not an option for us....” I siad.

”Not at all?” he asked.

“Not even a little!” I said. He jsut stared at me for a second before crashing his lips over mine.

I pushed him away from me,”No.I'm sorry,” I said.” I took my vows before god and family. I meant them. You should have said something years ago even if you had to wait til I got back from Oxford..you should have told me how you felt.Now there can never be anything.”

Devon took a deep breath,” You don't know how much that kills me. I couldn't marry Jessica because she wasn't you.”

Devon

Now I'd never get married but I knew if I said that...then she might not like heaing that...it was true though. No matter how good a relationship I was in..I was never all there because I was in love with Jennifer West...now Jennifer Styles.

“Devon.... you can’t mean that... Jess... she was good for you.....” Jen said, softly. I just backed up.

“She was a good girl, but not good enough....” I said.

“Dev.... please.. please don’t do that...” she said.

‘Do what?!” I asked. She wiped tears off my cheeks and I just pushed her hands away.

“Don’t... don’t touch me.... You broke me... My heart is broken.... because of you... now don’t touch me... ever.....” I said. I went upstairs, grabbed my bags and went out to my rental car. I can’t stay here... I just can’t. I had to leave......

Jennifer

As Devon drove away I was in tears.... I felt horrible... he Loves me and I broke his heart.  I had never done that...broken someone's heart...oh god. I couldn't imagine the pain he went through at the engagement and the wedding. I knew that if I had to watch Harry marry someone else I'd die. I would literally die on the spot, a couple tears slipped down my cheek. Normally I would try to fix things...but this..THIS I could never fix not like Devon wanted me to.

I lowered myself onto the bottom step of the stairs that led upstairs and I put my head in my hands. How had this happened? How had I NOT seen this happening? There had to be clues somewhere surely...right? Had I been so wrapped up in whatever that I hadn't noticed any signs of him having feelings for me? It was over now...I had to stop thinking about this, but I couldn't stop feeling bad for hurting him like this..he didn't deserve it. Even if he had gotten a little crazy and tried to come between Harry and me.

“Sis, are you alright?” Shane asked, slippign down beside me, pulling me into his arms.

“No..... No i’m not... i broke him Shane.. I hurt him so bad....” I sobbed.

“Oh no... Jeny... thi sis not your fault.. you had no idea...... you couldn’t have stopped this....” he said.

“It doesn’t make the guilt any less.......” I sobbed into my big brother’s shirt.

“Shhhh, stay here, we’ll try to help... as far as Natalie.. you shouldn’t be going home.. not yet.... not when you’re this upset....” he said.

“Shane.... I need a huge favor...” i said, softly.

“Anything.....” he said.

“I need you to call Harry’s management.. do that business talk you’re so good at... I need to be with my husband!” I cried.

Shane

I held my sister in my arms,”Okay,” I whispered. I would do anything that my sisters needed me to. With one arm around Jennifer, I reached for the phone and dialed the number for One Direction's manager.  Jennifer sniffled her face still burried in my shirt, while I was holding a ringing phone to my ear and waiting for it to be answered.  I was so upset that she was upset, and I knew how hard separation was so I knew what she was going through.

“Hello?” said a voice when they answered.

“Yes this is Shane West, Jennifer’s brother.....” I siad.

“Jennifer.. oh Harry’s wife... yes... how can I help you?!” the man asked.

“Well, the thign is I know you were concerned for Natalie with flying.. but I think it’s hurting her, Harry and Jennifer more with them all being apart... Do you think there is anything that you can do?!” I asked.

“Umm I might.... I mean is teh little one okay flying?!” he asked.

“Yes of course...... she’s more upset on the way back... when she’s not with her dad....” I said.

“Ummm, alright, we’ll be in the Phillipines tomorrow... if you can get Jennifer on a flight there tonight.... I have a great idea for surprising harry!” he said.

“Wow.... really?!” I asked, nodding at Jen who bounced in place and a bright smile appeared on her face.

“Yes really.. good luck!!!” he said, and hung up. I grinned at my sister.

“Pack your bags... you have to leave tonight!” I told her. She grinned and nodded, hugging me

“You re teh BEST big brother ever!!!!” she squealed.

I laughed as I hugged her,” His manager was open to the idea as long as Nat was okay with the flying. Go pack. I need to buy you a ticket.”

She rushed up the stairs to pack and I logged onto the computer to book the flight to get Jennifer and Nat out tonight...which as luck would have it there was something available. Thank god!

Jennifer

I was throwing my stuff and Nat's stuff together I couldn't wait to throw myself into Harry's arms. I missed him so damn much right now. I also couldn't wait to tell Natalie that she'd be seeing her dad soon! Oh my gosh she was going to be so excited! I managed to finish packing and tip toed into the kids room.

“Nattie you have to get up,” I whispered to her.

“Mama,” she said sleepily as she sat up confused in the dark and started crying.

“Come on baby.. we’re gonna fly to see Daddy....” I said, softly, helping her sit up.

“Da Da......” she asked. I giggled, as I got on her coat and stuff on her.

“Yes baby girl.. just let mama get you dressed and you can go back to sleep on teh way okay?!” I asked her. She nodded adn yawned thru it, but when Shane came in to giv eme the flight information adn confirmation number he helped me get nat our to the car and he drove us to teh airport. 11PM we boarded our flight.. harry was gonna be shocked! I was meetin his manager at the hotel to go over the brilliant idea.
