RUN AWAY || H.S

Alana's POV.

"Well, it's time for the story of my life," I said getting everyone's attention.

My heart beating at a fast rate, my ears ringing, my palms sweaty.

Everything will be alright, Alana. Harry is with you.

I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves.

Before I can speak anything Zayn spoke "Alana, babe, are you sure I should be here? I mean I am a pretty curious guy but I don't want to overstep. If you want I can leave. I don't want you to think you have to tell me anything. You don't owe me anything"

I have asked Niall and Kiara to keep a secret for me in the beginning. I asked Kiara to never speak of me if she ever comes in contact with people anyone from India, I told her I run away when I came here and I asked her to keep that secret even from Niall, her boyfriend at the time and now-fiancé and she kept it.

Somehow, Niall came to know about my pregnancy and he kept that as a secret from everyone for me, I owe both of them answers. Kiara is my best friend and Niall is Harry's best friend and Kiara's fiancé.

They let me be here, they loved me, they took care of me, and unknowingly made me forget about my past. I owe them this.

Aria has been in this mess because of me, her daughter has been in this mess because of me, they were separated from each other because of me. I owe her some answers.

Matthew already knows everything. Angelo knows pretty much everything yet he still doesn't know a huge deal.

And if it wouldn't be for Angelo I wouldn't have able to get out of that hell hole and if it wouldn't be for him, I wouldn't have known Dominic had Aria. So, I guess I owe him too.

Then there is Harry, I owe him everything.

He deserves to know about my past even though it shouldn't be like this but hey, I made the mistake of not trusting his love for me.

But I don't really owe Zayn anything but this mess blew up on my face in front of him, he was willing to risk his safety for me, he has been a huge help with Cece.

Cece has developed this trust with Zayn that she lights up whenever Zayn walks in the room. Zayn has been a huge help with Aria even though she still is cautious but I can tell Aria trusts Zayn the most among everyone excluding me and Matthew.

Yes, I don't owe him anything but I think he deserves to know.

And like Zayn said he is a curious guy. If he doesn't stay tonight he will somehow get it out of him everything some other day in some way.

It's better he stays and I can just get it out altogether once and all.

Or you are trying to gather people so you don't have to be alone with Harry once everything alone. You scared of his reaction.

Shut up, Conscience! Nobody asked you!

"You should go" I said, folding my hands on my chest jutting my hip to one side knowing well that he is going to come up with something to stay.

He wants to know about my past but he doesn't want to overstep.

Zayn has a shocked look on his face which clearly says he wasn't expecting me to ask him to go. He has his face rested on this fist which rested on the side of the couch, his mouth open in shock, his eyes focused on mine.
