Pieces of the Rose (Sequel to I Am Mrs. Malik?)

Chapter 11

Harry's POV

I knock on the door. I don't know what to expect. I am nervous but at least I have Lou.

"HARRY!" Lou says opening my door and giving me a hug.

"Hi. Um I came back to fix things." I say. Lou lets me in and I see Niall and Liam sitting on the couch.

"Hi" I say waving at them.

"Where have you been mate?" Niall say getting up and giving me a hug. I guess he doesn't hate me. Liam just waves, he feels differently.

"I just had to escape for a bit...um where is Zayn?" I say noticing he is missing.

"Upstairs, I will go get him" Niall says getting up from the couch.

There was silence as we waited for Zayn to come downstairs. It was awkward and I felt really uncomfortable. I started to think about Ally and where she could be. I thought when she said I go first, meant that I go in, then she would follow. It has been ten minutes and she is still in the limo.

Zayn comes down the stairs with Niall and the five of us are gathered on the couches.

"Okay, if we are going to fix things, we need to be completely honest. We also have to be forgiving and apologetic. No one will leave this room until we work this out." Liam says all serious.

We all nod in response.

"Okay, Harry you go first, we will all say something we want answered, an apology or a forgiveness. You just have to listen and respond." Liam says.

"I have a something to say" Zayn says.

Oh no. This can't be good.

"I want to know if you really love Ally? I want to know this because if you do and we do find her and she ends up choosing you, I want to make sure that you love her. I don't want her to be with someone that won't love her back, I can't let that happen." He says.

All the boys look at me to respond. "I do love her and always have. If she does ever choose me you won't have to worry about it. I will show her I love her everyday." I say.

"Zayn, do you have anything else to say to Harry?" Liam asks.

"I am sorry Ally cheated on you for me, if I knew I would have ended it. I never wanted a girl to come between us" He says and I get up and walk over to him and give him a hug. This was hard for Zayn to let go of Ally and for him to say sorry means so much to me.

"I forgive you" I say. After the hug we go back to our seats.

"Well we have one problem fixed and I thought that was the hardest one to fix, I guess not. Okay, Any one have anything to say to Harry?" Liam says.

"Where were you Harry? You left and didn't tell any of us and poor Louis was going crazy." Niall says.

"I thought all of you hated me, I didn't want to be around you guys if that was true. So I bought a house and have been living there." I say, keeping Ally a secret.

Where is she? I bet she ran again. I thought she was stronger than that.

"You couldn't tell any of us?" Niall asks.

"I was going to tell you but...um" I look at Louis for help, he nods for me to continue. " I was coming the stairs and I saw Ally in the doorway. She pulled me outside and told me not to tell you guys that she was here. She made me promise and she has been hiding out in the house with me." I say and I look at the Zayn. He seems surprised and upset.

"Is she okay?" he asks.

"Of course, she is actually in the limo outside. She was going to come in when she was ready to face you. I am sorry I didn't tell you but she didn't want to be found. She seemed so scared." I say.

"It's okay." He says.

"Okay do we have any other problems that need to be worked out?" Liam says.

No one says anything, which I guess is a good thing. One direction will stay together.

"I have a problem. I think Ally is the problem, she causes all the drama and if she doesn't want to be with Zayn then she can't be around us. I think it would be best for the band." Liam says.

"You have to be joking" I say getting angry.

"No if she doesn't stay with Zayn then we don't need her around." Liam says.

"I don't think that's right, I mean what if she chooses Harry? Can she stay?" Louis asks.

"No because that is unfair to Zayn and we don't need a girl that cheats to be seen with us. The fans would go crazy. Think of all the hate she would get. It would be her benefit too." Liam says.

"No it wouldn't! She has no one! She is living by herself. If you think I would let her go that easily you have to be crazy! I love her and even if she doesn't want to be with me I promised her I would be her friend. I will not just ignore her." I say getting so angry that Lou holds me back on the couch.

"Yeah you are crazy Liam, Ally is part of our family. You said that once, remember? I will not stop being friends with her." Niall says.

"You are just being a dick. I would never tell any of you to stop talking to her, even if she doesn't choose me. We are her friends and friends don't abandoned each other." Zayn says and walks outside to the back yard. I am guessing to smoke.

"Great we were all good until you open your mouth. You even pissed off Niall. Are you happy?" I say following Zayn outside.

"Liam has no right to say-" I say but cut off.

"Do you hear that?" Zayn says. I listen and I hear someone crying. This is a loud cry.

"Where is that coming from?" I ask.

"The woods." Zayn says throwing the cigarette on the ground and running into the woods.

"Zayn wait!" I say running after him.
