Forever and Always {Harry Styles AU}

Chapter 27

Rebecca's POV

As the fireworks exploded in the background (literally!) I couldn't help but notice that this wasn't right.

I pulled my head away from his slightly, him frowning in response. "I...I just can't... I'm sorry". He looked down, his eyes focusing on his feet. "It...It's okay" He mumbles. I cup his face, looking him in the eyes. "I love Zayn". Just then, the ferris wheel stopped, resulting in a joult of our bodies.

The ticketmaster pulled up the railing wich had benn protecting us from falling. Louis stepped out first, holding his hand out for me. I gladly accepted it, stepping down and onto the ground.

Just as we were walking around looking for a booth to play, a small child around the age of 4, not over 5 came up to us crying. "Pl...please help my find my mum?" He says in a shaky voice. My eyes must've been huge, it was midnight! "Where did you last see her?" Louis asked in a perfecty calm voice, taking control. "We...we were down by the cotton candy...a-and while she was paying for it..it i saw a stuffed animal on the ground, so i went to grab it. I.... I looked back a-and she was g...gone!" He said, almost bawling now.

"We will help you look for her!" Louis said, picking the child up and resting him on his hip. "What's your name?" I kindly ask. "T-Tommy" he replied, burrying his face in the crook of Louis' neck. "And what is your mum's name?" I asked again, rubbing circles in his back. He pauses his sobs to think for a moment. "Michelle"

"MICHELLEEE!!! MICHELLE!!! MIIICCHHHEEELLLLEEE!!!" We both screamed, desperately trying to find this poor boys' mum.

"TOMMY? TOMMY?! TOMMY!" We hear in the distance. "OVER HERE!!!!" We both shouted, me waving my arms. A very worried-looking lady ran up to us, and straight for Louis, hugging him and sandwiching little Tommy in the middle. His little arms reached around her neck and soon his legs around her waist. "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" He said crying into her chest. "Tommy! I've been looking everywhere! Thank you so so so so much!!!!" She looks louis and I dead in the eye, tearing up.

"i don't know what I would have done. Thank you." She reaches into her purse, pulling out a surprising amount of cash. "This is all I have. Take it. Thank you" She said. She pushed her arm towards me, guesturing I take it. "Of course not!" I say. "You do not have to pay us a single penny. We are more than glad we could help you. And Tommy." I say, squatting down to his level and hugging him tightly. "Good-bye" I say, hugging Tommy and Michelle once more before continuing our path down the fair.

"Would you like to play a game?" Louis asked me. "Maybe it can numb your....our minds off of everything for a bit. Have some fun" He said smiling. "Sure" I said, returning the smile.

There was still many, many people at the fair, surprizing or it being midnight and all. Water shooting...No. Duck shooting....No. Wow lots of shooting games. Bottle toss.... No. Magic tricks....hmmmm. The "wizard" running the booth startes talking to us, just mildly creepy.

"Hello lady and gent! Do you wish to play?" He says, laying out a deck of cards in front of us. I look at Louis. Unsure. He looks back, just as confused. "Uhhh..sure?" I say sounding a little bit more like a question. "Two tickets to play!" He almost yells at us.

I reach into my purse grabbing 4 tickets, two for me, two for Louis. I reach my arm out to hand him the tickets, but it is quickly pulled back by a much stronger one, Louis'. "Let me" He says while pulling four tickets out of his back pocket. He hands them ti the "wizard" and he starts doing some random "magic" shit that could care less about. After a while, I have to admit, it got quite fun.

Louis had to help him, but epically failed causing me to burst out in laughter. Hmm.. Maybe he was right. It felt nice to forget about everything and have some fun. I playfully hit Louis' arm, laughing even more at his continously silly actions. We shared a quick glance, staring into eachother's eyes. Just as I was getting into the game as well, my gaze turned to a dark figure standing roughly 10 feet away. Zayn.

I fully turned me body, walking towards him. Just when I got close, I noticed he had been crying; his eyes bloodshot and puffy. "Y-you never look at me that way" He said sniffling. "Zayn... I"

"I know you love him." He spat at me.

"I... No...just wait... Zayn please.."

"Just forget about it. Go get married. Have kids. I don't care anymore. Just stop making it worse for me. I had been wathing you all day here. Flirting, smiling, laughing with...him" He said guesturibg towards Louis, a cold glare in his eyes. "Obviously I could never do that for you. Goodbye Rebecca."

I was speechles. No words could or did form in my mouth, leaving me standing there with a baffled look scattered across my face. Just at the perfect timing, of course, Louis walks up to me. "Rebecca, listen.. i didn't mean to hurt your relationship with Zayn.."

"Just savw it Louis! Forget it! Forget everything! Forget the games...this kiss!" I yell at him, snapping. I'm leaving! Goodbye!"

The tears streamed downt my face, leaving ugly make-up marks all over. I probably looked like shit but I didn't care. Not now. Nothing mattered anymore.

I ran. And ran. It seemed like I was a mile away, but in reality I knew I wasn't too far from the fair. Once I figured no one would come after me I walked. Who knows where the hell I was, but again, I didn't care.

I was too sad, upset, lonely, depressed to figure it out.

Too sad to realise I was lost.

Too sad to realise I was on a road.

The middle of a road.

And too sad to realise the semi-truck headed straight for me, only meters away from my body.
