Picking Up the Pieces ~Zerrie~

Chapter 20

Zayn's POV...

I got up off of the floor and exited the room without looking at everyone and walked down the corridor with tears falling down my face like there was no tomorrow.

I made my way to the lift when i heard someone calling my name. I turned around swiftly to see that it was Harry.

"Zayn wait!" He called after me.

"Im not in the mood to talk" I croaked out.

"I know. That's why i have something to tell you" He said nervously.

"What?" I snapped

"Well. There was a reason Perrie...got shot." He said the last part softly which made a new set of tears come free. I sniffed and nodded to tell him to continue.

"Well remember when we were on our American tour and that girl tried to make it look like you were cheating on Perrie?" He asked. I sadly nodded not knowing where this was going.

"Well. That was my fault." He admitted. I stopped crying for and looked at him confused.

"I had such a massive crush on Perrie that i hired her to do that to you so Perrie would break up with you and she would be mine" He looked down not catching my gaze. I stayed silent as i let what he just said soak in.

"YOU DID WHAT?" I yelled. Luckily we were inside a lift so no one could hear us

"Im sorry, Zayn! I don't know why i did that! I just really liked Perrie! I made her stop after i realized that it wasn't worth it!" He tried defending myself even though he knew what he did was wrong.

I couldn't believe what i was hearing. My blood was boiling by the second as he continued.

"But because i made her stop, she didn't like it. She kept sending me threats. Finally i ended up telling Jade one day because it got so bad! I didn't know what to do! I Didn't know what she was going to do! Im sorry Zayn! I really really am!" He was now crying as well. The elevator doors opened and i got off still not saying anything.

"I was doing everything i could to know what she was doing! Me and Jade talked for hours trying to come up with some resolutions!"

"Oh so you decided it was best to make a little innocent girl like Jade to help you? Especially when it was your mistake?" This guy was out of his mind!

"I know! I didn't want her to help but i was desperate!" He stopped as i walked out of the hospital "I'm sorry Zayn. I really really am. I know sorry isn't going to do anything, but i will find a way to make up for all of this." I said in almost a whisper.

"No Harry." I started crying again "I don't think you will EVER find a way to make up for all of this. Unless you can some how bring Perrie back...I highly doubt you can" I said and opened my car door to drive away.

I know it wasn't the best idea to drive like this but i didn't care right now. I didn't care about anything right now. I was furious and upset all at once.

I could barely see the road because of my blurred vision from the tears. And to make matters worse, it started raining.

I kept on getting calls from Harry and the boys but i ignored it. They can call all they want. Im not answering till i let it all out. I didn't want to hurt anybody. I know i would regret it later.

I finally ended up pulling over before something happened and i just sat there till the tears stopped flowing.

I looked at my phone. 72 missed calls and 23 unread messages. The messages were saying to come back and blah blah blah. I had a few voicemails that said the same thing.

I will just wait here till the rain clears up a little and im not as mad.

Perries POV...

I don't know where i am. I don't know what's happening. It's pitch black and im scared.

"Hello Perrie" A voice said.

"Uh hi?"

The voice chuckled "Do you know where you are?" It asked

"Not really.."

"You are in between life and death. You are not fully dead but you are not fully alive. Your heart has stopped beating."

"So what do i do?" It felt weird talking to a voice in the pitch black.

"Only you know that." The voice paused. "There will be a series of mazes you must complete. I must warn you...they will not be easy."

"What kind of mazes.." I asked

"Life events. You have to find a way to get through them. If you don't...you will die." The voice now seemed to be a little for away.

"Wait! I don't understand!" I shouted to the voice

"You soon shall see. Goodbye Perrie" The voice was fading away.

"Wait!" I tried shouting over and over again. It became no use.  Soon the black faded away and a new setting appeared. It was the time my grandmother died. But i still don't get it.

I was throwing a huge fit after the burial and my mum was getting very annoyed and she looked horrible.

I get it...

Harry's POV...

After i watched Zayn leave looking like a mess, i sadly walked back towards the lift to get back to the room. I had tears staining my cheeks and i was in no mood to talk to anyone.

I was upset with myself. I now deeply regret what i did in the past. I made someone die and everyone else extremely mad with me.

I got in the room and everyone looked at me.

"Where's Zayn?" Liam asked

"He drove off after i told him everything" I said

"In this weather?!"

"I coudn't stop him!" I defended myself. He sighed and whipped out his phone.

"Everyone try calling him and texting him. He can't be out like this. Not in his condition" He said calmly. I've always wandered how he could stay so calm about these type of situations.

We all tried calling him and texting him but it was no use. He didn't answer or reply back.

"You really really screwed up, Harry" Eleanor croaked out

I sighed "I know"

It was silent for a little bit until Jade spoke up

"Umm guys..." She said sounding scared

We all looked at her and mumbled a what. She pointed forward to Perrie

We all looked at her.

"What's happening?!" Jesy quickly asked at the sight of her

"NURSE!"
