Live While We're Young (One Direction fanfic)

Chapter 21 (Goodbye)

2 weeks later

Alissa POV

Ever since the secret of Harry and I dating got out nothing's been the same.  Two weeks ago when Zayn left the interview and the guys got forced to go on tour the house has been duller than ever. Everyone just walks around the house doing their own things, we barely have any meals together. We talk to each other, it's just not as one big group.

I have been spending every possible minute with Harry in the past two weeks, I tried to talk to Zayn but he's still ignoring me. I looked over to Harry who was asleep, I had my head rested on his shoulder. Even Harry and I have been acting differently, we know we are on a time limit. I won't see him for 6 months and that kills me, but I don't want the guys to leave the house in the state everyone is right now.

I know this fight is between Harry, Zayn and I but everyone else is being dragged into it because they live here and are friends. I understand they don't want to pick sides but this issue isn't going be resolved easily. I sighed as closed my eyes and cuddled into Harry's chest, tomorrow they were leaving, tomorrow I'm going to fix this.

*****************************************

"Alissa." I heard someone mumble.

My eyes fluttered open as I saw Harry waking up. I gave him a half smile realizing it was already morning, I prepared myself for the goodbye's that awaited today. For a while Harry and I just laid there as he played with my hand in his.

Finally I heard Harry sigh "I should probably finish packing." As he got up.

"I'm just get changed and I'll be back." I said getting up and walking to my room.

I closed the door and took a quick hot shower, I know I am going to regret what I am going to do but I also know that it has to be done.

When I got out of the shower I did my make up, and left my hair in it's brown waves. I changed into black shorts and pink floral crop top.  When I walked out into the hallway I saw Liam and Niall pulling their luggage's down the stairs, I smiled at them as they said good morning to me.

I walked back to Harry's room and stood in the doorway for a while as I watched him pack the few remaining things left in his room.

"Harry?" I finally said speaking up as he zipped up his luggage.

"Yeah." He answered without looking at me.

"Maybe we should stop..." I staid is quieter tone.

Harry stopped what he was doing and looked up at me right away, I could see confusion in his eyes. "Why? Did someone say something?" He asked coming closer to me as he grabbed my hand.

"No, I just think this is getting in everyone's way. I don't want to fight with Zayn anymore and I don't want you guys fighting.." I said looking down as I took my hand out of Harry's.

Harry sighed. "It hurts because I know your right."

Harry and I kissed for one last time, minus the circumstances it was one of the best kisses ever. It was soft and gentle, yet the amount of passion in it was unbelievable. It hurt though because as Harry's arms wrapped around my waist I held tears, if anything could convince me this was wrong it was this kiss.

When we finally pulled away I took off the ring Harry had gave me and handed it to him. 'Goodbye Harry."

"Keep it, as a memory." Harry said putting it on my finger.

"Thanks." I said as I backed out of the doorway. When I turned around and started to leave the room I swear I heard Harry say "I love you."

"I love you too." I mumbled to myself.

I knew what I had to do next, my job wasn't done yet. I was going fix as much as I could before I left. I walked right into Zayn's room to see him just checking if he had packed everything.

"Zayn." I said loudly. I didn't care he was going to talk to me now, after everything that just happened he had too.

"What." He said still not looking at me.

"I just wanted to let you know I broke up with Harry." I said loud enough for him to hear.

Finally Zayn turned around and looked at me, for the first time in weeks.

"What did he do?' Zayn asked sighing.

I laughed, obviously Zayn would think that Harry did something to hurt me. "Nothing. I broke up with him because it was getting in the way of everything." I answered as I felt tears starting to form.

"Alissa..." Zayn said for the first time in a while I could hear the concern in his voice. "You have to understand why I didn't approve before, Harry has a reputation and I just didn't want to be the person in the middle who had to deal with something if something ever happened.."

"Yeah, I know, whatever it's over now. It doesn't matter anymore, as long as you forgive me." I said looking away.

Zayn came over to me and gave me a hug "Alissa, I'm sorry, I get that I might have overreacted but I really didn't want you getting hurt."

"Promise to not be angry at me, or even Harry." I said pulling away.

"Yeah, we will put this whole thing behind us." Zayn said with a smile

"Good." I said wiping away my tears as I left his room, what Zayn didn't know was; by trying to protect me this whole time he had only hurt me more.

I braced myself as I made my way downstairs after Zayn, everyone was already at the front of the house. The guys were loading the car with their bags and getting read to leave. Noemi came up to Zayn and gave him a hug, I looked around and saw all the girls hugging their boyfriends goodbye and saying their "I love you, and we will keep in touch, etc.." I looked across at Harry and longed to be in his arms talking about how we will see each other soon.

Finally the driver honked the horn saying it was time to leave, everyone gave each other hugs now as they said goodbye. I hugged Louis, Liam, Niall, wishing them best of luck and all, when I hugged Harry my heart broke, he stroked my hair and whispered "I will miss you" into my ear.

Finally I said goodbye to Zayn, even though Harry and I broke up I could still see Harry and Zayn were on the rocks. I could tell though my their smiles that by the end of the tour everything would go back to normal.

Kyana, Noemi, Alex and I stood on the porch as we watched them drive off....
