Live While We're Young (One Direction fanfic)

Chapter 20 (Enough is Enough)

Alissa POV

Those last words stung, I felt like I had just gotten slapped across the face by him. I felt tears starting to well in my eyes.

"Zayn!" I yelled as he walked out of the room, although he just ignored me.

It was too late, I really did hurt Zayn. The look he had given me before he left was like he had given up on me, I guess he really didn't care about me anymore. I sat down on Zayn's bed and put my head in my hands, I let all my tears out. This day had started as being one of the best days of my life, and now it had just turned into one of the worst. I may have Harry but I lost my one and only brother Zayn in the process.

I heard someone walk and sit down next to me. "I'm sorry about everything, it's all my fault." Harry said as he wrapped his arm around me.

I leaned my head on Harry's shoulder "It's not your fault, I love you, it was bound to happen eventually. I just wish he would have heard it from our mouth instead." I replied.

"I love you too and I don't think Zayn will stay mad for too long, he just needs convincing." Harry said as he grabbed my hand.

"So what do we do about us meanwhile." I said staring at our hands as I intertwined my fingers with Harry's.

"We show Zayn that we love each other truly and didn't do this to hurt him at all." Harry said looking at me.

I nodded as Harry wiped the tears out of my eyes. I gave him a quick kiss before we headed downstairs. Everyone stared at us we walked down, I could tell that the atmosphere down here wasn't any better or less awkward. I walked over to Noemi who was taking plates out for dinner, it looked like the guys ordered take out.

"Hey, have you talked to Zayn yet?" I asked Noemi knowing that if he had talked to anyone it would probably have been her since they were a couple now.

"Yeah, I talked to him, but not for long though, he's really upset. I'm sorry Alissa, I tried to convince him." She said looking at me with sorry eyes.

I sighed "It's ok, thanks anyways."

I grabbed my dinner quickly and headed outside to eat, I couldn't stand the tense feeling in the house right now. I sat down on the deck in the backyard, I crossed my legs and ate my food. Looking up I could see the beautiful stars, if only I could enjoy the night without all the drama. I ate quietly, I could tell that everyone inside was probably eating dinner in the same silence.

After I finished eating I waited a while before heading inside. I was lucky no one was in the kitchen, it seemed like everyone had gone off to doing their own things tonight.  I sighed as I washed my dishes, I felt someone come up behind me and wrap their arms around me.

"Harry." I laughed as he kissed my neck. "I'm not in the mood at the moment." I said turning around and facing him.

"Alissa, I told you we will fix things." Harry said pulling me closer.

"I feel like they hate us." I said staring into his eyes.

"Why? Only Zayn is mad." Harry replied.

"Yeah, but we just made everything uncomfortable for everyone." I said looking down.

Harry grabbed my chin and leaned in "Certain things are worth fighting for." He said before kissing me.

I melted in his arms, for a second I forgot about all my worries and imagined Harry and I living happily together. I heard some cough after a while. I pulled away from Harry to see Zayn staring at us. Suddenly feeling awkward, I backed away from Harry and leaned on the counter. Zayn just came and put his dishes in the sink we were blocking before he started walking away again.
