Chapter 34

*Zayn's POV*

When I wake up, I go downstairs and grab a banana to eat, sit and watch a bit of television for a while, and then head back up to my room. 

I hear my phone ringing. Where'd I put it? I search all around my room and then find it underneath a pile of dirty clothes.

It's Allison. Why would she be calling me? Unless...

"Hello? Allison, are you okay," I ask, worried. 

She sniffles and I can tell she's been crying. 

"No. Zayn, I've left. I need you to do something for me," she says, pain in her voice. 

"Anything," I say. And I mean it. I'd do anything for Allison. She's like another sister to me. 

"Please tell Harry that...that I love him and I'm so sorry. Tell the rest of the boys that I love them too. Tell Harry that, once the baby comes, I'll tell her who her father is and...maybe one day she'll get to meet him. But, I can't stay with you guys. It's ruining and messing up your careers. I'm going to my family's house, but you cannot tell Harry" she says. 

"Alli, I-"

"Please," she begs, her voice a whisper. I swallow hard. 

"It's okay Alli. I'll tell them," I say, and then I realise that Harry's entered my room. 

"Thanks Zayn," Allison says. My face turns grave at the sight of Harry. 

Let me tell you, Harry can be quite frightening. His voice is the deepest so when he yells, it can get pretty scary. 

"Let me talk to her," Harry says firmly. 

"Uh, Harry I don't thi-" 

"LET ME TALK TO HER," he yells and then reaches for the phone and I try to keep it away from him, but  he grabs it and puts it to his ear. 

"Allison," he asks softly. I can tell Allison's hung up when Harry looks at the phone, stunned for a minute, and then he clenches his fist and throws my phone against the wall, leaving a dent in the process. 

He turns to me. 

"What did she tell you," he growls. 

I have to keep my promise to Allison. I can't tell him where she's gone. I don't want to break her trust in me. 

"She told me not to tell you," I say. 

Harry's fist makes a connection with my jaw. I'm thrown off for a second, but then anger takes over my body and I punch him back. Soon, Lou, Niall, and Liam come in, their eyes wide.
