Off Limits (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Back-Fire

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Chapter 30

"Harry!! What are you doing here??" Ashley acted surprised

"I heard everything Ashely" Harry looked down at his feet

"Oh baby they forced me to do it, Maggies so jealous of us !! Please believe me !" She pretended to cry

"Don't lie to me!!" Harry yelled

Knowing she was defeated, she gave in "done whatever I don't want any of you, I never loved you Harry" those last words hit harry hard. But before she left she said one last thing to me "you better watch your back bitch"

"Get out Ashley!!" The anger in Harry's voice frightened me

Ashley grabbed her purse and pushed me out of the way as she left,... That was the last we saw of Ashely

"Harry" I whispered

"What was the point of this Maggie" Harry clenched his fist

"I needed you to know the truth" I sighed

"So needed my heart to break to let the truth come out?" Harry started to shake

"Harry please !" I pleaded

"No I'm done! I'm done with all of you!!" Harry yelled and left the house leaving us all speechless

"We'll that back-fired" Liam added

"What have I done?" I cupped my face with my hands

"It had to be done Maggie" Zayn came beside me

"But maybe not like this " I felt horrid

"How else Maggie ?" Zayn sighed

"I don't know how ?? But now Harry's really upset and its my fault and I'm pretty sure I pushed him further away then before and now I just feel like .....like .... Crying" I place my face in my hands

I could hear the frustration in Zayns voice and Liam just stood back and watched the chaos. I was the one who came up with this childish plan and now following through with it I wish I hadn't thought of it at all. Harry's hurt, Zayns frustrated, Liam's clueless and I'm falling apart.

"Okay what do we do?" Liam speaks up

"Harry needs to calm down, lets give him some time and we'll go talk to him later" Zayn suggests

"I need to go for a walk" I blurt out

"Mags please just stay" Zayn looks desperate

"There is no reason for you to be upset love" Liam chimes in

"I'll be back soon" I walk past the both of them and leave out the front door. I could hear Zayns faint voice expressing his dissapointment with vulgar and rash words but I chose to ignore them, plus I'm sure Liam will calm him down.

*Liams P.O.V*

"God fucking dammit" Zayn yells

"Zayn calm down! Why are you so upset!" I follow him as he briskly walks into the living room

"Because Liam why does she have to care so much! Okay Harry's mad leave it alone, no Maggie has to get all depressed and angry with herself. It's these time where I think maybe she'd be better off with Harry ...... And with out me" Zayns breathing hitches at his last couple of words

Here I was in a rare moment of time, standing in front of Zayn Malik falling apart at the seems. He sat on the couch and at first I thought he was just mad I notice him crying, he's sad.

"Common man don't do that!" I sat beside him on the couch

"I can't control it anymore Liam, I was so use to pushing down all my feelings but theses days they just rush out" Zayn looks up from his feet "I need a cigarette" He presses his lips together and walks to the front door

"Hey I thought you quit!" I follow him

"Apparently not" he shrugged and pulled out the package from his leather jacket and lights one

"Listen to me, you and Maggie are like forbidden lovers torn apart because of the opinions of others. The thing is your together, besides all of that, you found each other and it's the happiest I've seen both of you in a long time. After Maggies father died she wasn't the fun loving girl I knew , her eyes were puffy all the time because she didnt stop crying and she avoided everyone. If you didn't come around she would of been beat up, raped and then killed herself. And you Zayn I've never seen this side of you before"

"What the 18 year old that cries about his dead parents like a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert" he laughs slightly

"No the better side. You were always so secretive and kept to yourself. You never let us help you or see you cry, you put up this wall towards everyone. But now, your happy and open, you express yourself and lets your friends into your heart. This is the Zayn that I like to see , yes your crying now but at least your not getting drunk and hurting someone. When you cry I don't see a 12 year old girl I see a man, who's not afraid" I grabbed one of his shoulders and looked into his eyes and I think it sunk in.

His lip quivered and wiped his cheek and pulled me into a hug

"Thank you Liam. I needed to hear that" He whispered

"Now put out that cigarettes and lets go inside" I laughed

He took one last long drag and dropped in on the porch and crushed it with his foot

"Did you know Maggie still had feelings for Harry?! She told me herself" Zayn laughed but his words were angry

I kept quiet not wanting to dawn on the subject cause or course I knew the truth. I nibbled on my lip and avoided eye contact which wasn't a good idea

"Liam do you know something ?" Zayns eyes narrowed

"No!" I practically yelled

"Liam please" Zayn spoke softly and I couldn't lie to him

"Maggie lied!" I sighed

"What ?! About what?!" Zayn grew angry

"She doesn't have feelings for Harry, she was avoiding him because she had no other choice !! She told you that because Ashley was threatening her mothers job and she didnt want you to get in the middle of it" I smiled awkwardly

I saw him clench his fists but then surprisingly relaxed. It was like he understood

"Fuck! I haven't been able to look at her thinking she liked another guy but really she was just looking after her mother. I feel like such am asshole, freezing her out and abandoning her just because I couldn't get over my own ego. Wait, it all makes sense now ignore Harry, she was forced to not because she was jealous but Harry doesn't know that!" His eyes widened

"Yes exactly, that's why she feels so guilty because he doesn't know the truth" I shrugged

"We'll I feel like an idiot" to my relief Zayn laughs but the smile quickly fades "I going out for another cigarette" and Zayn walked past me

*Maggies P.O.V*

Harry doesn't know the truth, only if he knew he would understand and not freak out like this. I should say it is partly my fault showing him like that but how else was I supposed to tell him. If I sat down and talked to him he wouldn't of believed me, he was to wrapped up in Barbies lies.

I walked down the street and I could feel myself growing angrier with every step. The conversation replayed in my mind on a never ending loop and no matter how hard I tired it wouldn't stop. I really was trying to help Harry out and all it's done is made it worse

I spun around on my heels I headed back to the house even though my mind was still full of thoughts and unwanted memories. As I turned the corner to Zayns house I saw him sitting on the porch.

Sitting on one of the steel worn out chairs behind the metal railings, He sat forward leaning on his knees looking in front if him. As he brought his fingers to his lips i notice the cigarette in his hand and immediately after blows out the smoke. I didn't know he smoked and never smelt it on his breath but it was actually extremely hot. His leathers jacket fit him perfectly and tugged on his broad shoulders. His hair was messing, kind of like sex-hair but it was probably because he was frustrated and mad so he pulled his fingers through it. He looked down at his toes and I knew he was upset. The way he looked at that moment, that exact moment in time, it was like I fell in love with him all over again......

I slowly walked up to the porch trying not to disturbed his train of thought, and subtly I cleared my throat

"Liam I'm not crying again, I just want to be left alone" he spoke to his feet

He was crying? I feel like a piece of shit walking out the door

"I will never break my promise, even if I leave I will always come back" I whispered

His head shot up, he jumped to his feet and I was instantly in his arms. He warped his arms around my body and squeezing so tight I wasn't able to get my arms round him but they were trapped at my chest. He repeatedly kissed the top of my head and danced around like we were at our senior prom. I was happy that he wasn't angry but I was also confused, shouldn't he be mad at me.

"I love you Maggie" he spoke in my ear

"I love you to Zayn" I said in the crook of his neck

"You were protecting your mother"

I shot back not expecting the new information

"How did you know?" I crook my head aside

"Liam" Zayn just smirked

"God dammit you can't trust that boy with anything" I muttered to myself

"I heard that!" Liam shouted from inside the house

"Come here" Zayn stretched out his hand to me and I intertwined my fingers with his. He pulled me to him and sat down sitting me on his lap

"Why didnt you tell me? About Ashely and your mother?" Zayn cupped my chin and stared into my eyes

"I didn't want you to get involved, I had to do this on my own ....even though it didnt turn out as promising as I hoped" I shrugged

"Just next time let me help you, so I don't convince myself that I'm just temporary in your life" Zayn looked down

"Zayn, your not going anywhere and I'm not either" I laid my head on his shoulders

"So you smoke?" I smirked

"Oh yea sorry I didn't tell you, I was trying to quit" he bit his lip

"It's fine, I think it's hot, you looked irresistible from afar" I nibbled on my bottom lip

"Oh Liam wasn't here I would t-" Zayns started but Liam came to the porch

"Oh please continue" Liam leant against the door frame

"Nothing !" I answered quickly and Zayn just awkwardly smiled

"Okay look I understand you feel guilty about this but we need to go talk to Harry before he blows up an airport of something" Liam laughed

"Yes let's go and leave this very awkward interaction" I leaded off Zayns lap and got into the back seat of his car and waited for Liam and Zayn. By the looks of it Liam was giving zayn a nice talking to, probably about the comment he caught Zayn in the middle of. I try to read their lips but I am only able to scramble up a couple of words. Liam starts to get angry and he shouts so the word penetrate the car windows

"She's not a piece of meat!!' Liam's voice faintly comes through

Zayn looks speechless and doesn't move while staring blankly back at Liam

I look between both of them and wait for something to happen finally Zayn moves his lips

"Forever and always Liam, and I mean it" I read his sad lips

Liam steps in and hugs Zayn and whispers something in his ear, I wasn't able to make it out but whatever it was made Zayn grip to the hug longer. They pull back and smile at each other and slip int the car like nothing happened.

"Are we ready to go?" Liam swings around and smiles at me but I don't respond but just nod my head

Zayn begins to drive in the direction of Harry's flat and my stomach starts to knot as we get closer. I play with my fingers and nervously bit my lip as I stare out the window anxiously wait for our arrival.

As we pulled into the driveway my eyes clamp shut

"Wait stop!" I force out

"What is it babe" Zayn turns around looking a little worried and Liam does the same

"I need to go in there alone, I have to explain myself" I comb my fingers through my hair

"No that's not happening" Zayn immediately shakes his head

"Zayn please I need to do this alone" I plead

Liam and him share a look and Zayn lets out a sigh

"Look you have 20 minutes, if you don't call me by then I will think your dead and bust down the door" Zayn arched an eyebrow

"Thank you" I lean in and kiss him softly

"Tell him the truth love, he'll believe you" Liam reassures me

I leave him with a smile and open the car door walking towards the porch

I knock on the door but Harry doesn't answer, I know he's home and trying opening the door and to my luck it's unlocked

As I walk into the dark flat I hear the crackling of papers under my feet, and the rest of the space is a total mess. I pick up one of the pieces of paper and read it it says:

"And I can lend you broken parts
That might fit like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again"

I think they were song lyrics and as I paid more attention to the other papers on the floor , the were all song lyrics. They were all either ripped, crumpled or burned, Harry was upset but he had a lot of reason to be

I continued down the hallway and peaked me head into the kitchen but he wasn't there. I continue to walk towards the living room but before I could reach the door frame a voice stops me in my place

"What are you doing here Maggie?" Harry's voice was hard and angry

"I came it talk to you" I whispered, I was a bit scared

"I don't want to talk to you, your are not my friend, your not my alli, your no one to me" his head was down and voice monotone

"Please Harry can you just listen to me" I step forward suddenly Harry is on his feet

"No listen TO ME! You have taken the only thing that I've actually loved in my life. Making her look like a monster and I forced her out the door. The last couple of weeks were the happiest I've been in a long time and YOU had to RUIN it because you can't get over your own jealousy" Harry shouted clenching his fists

"Harry you don't know the real story! She was a slut and hitting up every one of your friends, threatening me and trying it get in the middle of me and Zayn" I shouted

"DONT CALL HER THAT" Harry walked towards me forcing me against the wall

"I WILL CALL HER THAT!! She was a SLUT, TRAMP, SKANK, and everything else in this world! She was using you Harry, she played with your heart!!" I spat back

Harry raised his fist bringing up to level with my face and forced it forward. I closed my eyes preparing for the impact but his fist went into the drywall beside my head. The little bits of drywall dusted my hair and Harry's breathing was heavy as he intensely stared at me. My knees were weak and I was frightened, I slide down the wall curling up with my knees to my face. I didn't want to cry, so I tried as best as I could to swallow the tears.

"Fuck!" Harry shouted which made me jump

I didn't want to tell Harry about the threat but I had no choice , it was either spill everything or get punch in the face

"She threatened me" I stared blankly across the room and harry stopped pacing

"She what?"

"The night we were watching a movie and you kept poking me she pulled me into the kitchen. She said that if I didn't ignore you she was going to get my mother fired and I would end up on the streets like the dirt I am. So I complied and ignored you which took every fibre of my being, it killed me to see you like that. When I slammed the door in your face I wanted to cry for hours knowing you were hurt and you didn't know what you did wrong. So I played her game and ignored you but I got fed up and confronted her. She said that she didnt want you anymore and she wanted Zayn, she said she was going touch him and he'll enjoy it, that she was going to have sex with him" I couldn't hold the tears any longer

"I couldn't let that happen Harry, I couldn't let her do this to us. Harry I need you in my life, you are my everything, you are my best friend. Please believe me Harry please" I looked up at him with the tears running down my cheek and I saw the compassion in his eyes and he sat down in front of me

"I had to protect my mother Harry, please believe me" I desperately pleaded to him and tried to search his face for any kind of sign to know what he was thinking

"I've wanted to forgive since the beginning but I was forcing myself not to , making these things up in my head to hate you more so I could just believe that I was right and Ashely was perfect. She wasn't perfect Mags, she was horrible to everyone and I just ignored it cause I thought she was the one . When you were ignoring me I would be freaking out not know what I did and how to fix it. You see, I love you and I don't want to lose you because my life has been better since the day I met you. Your better any girl that's been in my life past present and probably future, I was never mad at you, I couldn't be mad at you, I was mad at myself for letting this girl harass you" he looked up at me through his eye lashes

"Harry..." I leaned forward tackling him into a hug and I'm pretty sure I heard him laugh but only briefly.

"I missed you beautiful" he whispered

"I missed you to Hazza" I wiped the tear from my cheek " the right girls out there somewhere Harry, don't give up" I hugged him tighter

"At the moment I am in no hurry to find her, I've got all I need right here"

"I like what you've done with the place" I laughed lightly and sat beside him

"Yea I might have to clean up" he laughed to

"Harry I swear to god if you hurt her in any way I'm gonna murder you!!" Zayn came bursting through the door with Liam pearly close behind him

They both ran into the living room preparing themselves for but were relieved to find Harry and I sitting on the floor happy.

"Oh thank god, I could never hurt you Harry" Liam sounded relieved

"Hey you had no problem beating me up" Zayn laughed

"That was different, I was extremely mad" Liam shrugged "and you deserved it"

Zayn just laughed and joined me and Harry on the floor

"So is everything okay now?" Zayn looked toward Harry

"Yes, I'm sorry about before I was mad ....... Really mad" Harry stared at his feet

"We understand Harry, you have nothing to be sorry about" Liam joined us

"We should of talked to you instead of springing it on you like that ...... It was our fault too" I put my head on his shoulder

"Yea I think that would of been a better plan" Harry laughed

"I missed you laugh" I sighed

Harry didn't answer but I knew exactly what he was thinking, he missed me too

"Okay I thought we were dating" Zayn pushed me playfully

I grabbed his face a kiss him roughly and winked as I pulled him back

"That answered it" Liam smirked

"We should go let Harry some time to himself" Zayn stood grabbing my hand and pulling me up with him

"If its okay I want to stay here with Harry, and help him with the cleaning" I asked Zayn

"Okay common Liam" Zayn turned around

"Bye mate, bye love" Liam waved goodbye to both of us and walked behind Zayn. They turned the corner but Zayn popped his head in from the hallway

"No make up sex" Zayn said sternly

"Ohhhh shut up Zayn" I was shocked

"I'm serious" he laughed

"Don't worry mate, all our clothes will stay on" Harry winked

"Okay, I believe you, bye babe" he chimed one more time

"Bye!" I yelled back

"I was talking to Harry!" Zayn yelled as he walked out the door and I couldn't help but laugh

"Jerk!"

"You didn't have to help mags" Harry stared to pick up the furniture

"I want to help" I smiled

I had my Harry back ..... Hopefully
