twenty seven.

erin
"where the hell is he!" she huffed in annoyance. they were suppose to be spending the day together, but when she woke up he was gone.

erin rang his phone six times before she gave up. she was so furious at harry right now. he promised that he would spend time with her.

she dialed the unfamiliar number of harry's best mate. "hello?" the bradford lad answered. "where is he?" she snapped. her voice was harsh and full of attitude.

"who is this?" a confused zayn asked. "its erin, who else would call looking for their husband," she said sarcastically. "harry? he isn't- is here. i-i mean he went to..um..to the washroom! y-yeah, the washroom," zayn stuttered out, he wasn't sure what to say as erin ever called him before.

erin ended the call. even a child could lie better than zayn malik.

"if you aren't with zayn, then who the hell are you with, harry!" erin screamed out and threw her phone at the wall.

harry
he could feel his phone vibrating in his pocket, but decided to ignore it. elanora would be extremely upset if he answered it.

his heart was beating fast in his chest. he had to make a decision. harry had to choose between his wife erin and the love of his life.

although erin had her flaws and her annoying pet names, she meant well. yes, she could be a snobby, bratty princess who always wants it her way but, she could also be sweet, caring and compassionate.

then there was elanora. she was beautiful, down to earth, kind and just so perfect. maybe a little too perfect. she never did anything wrong in their relationship. she made harry want to be a better man.

harry remembered something that the famous actor, johnny depp, once said. he said that if you fall in love with two people at once, choose the second one, because if you truly loved the first one, you never would have fell in love with the second one.

"i'm waiting harry! i don't have all day!" elanora said, her hands on her hips. "elanora you cannot just load all of this on me and want an answer right away. there are other factors involved," harry said calmly, but on the inside he was a mess.

"are you serious right now? factors? what fucking factors, harry?!" elanora shouted. she was so mad, and a little sad that he was taking all this time to give her an answer.

"erin signed a prenup, but it's only valid during the first five years of marriage and we have been married for more than five years. so she gets half of everything, including the company. she could destroy what me and simon have worked so hard to build, elanora. she could ruin me," harry explains.

elanora
elanora's face softened, she knew that harry worked very hard to be where he was in life. it was very unfair that erin got half of everything, but that's how the system worked.

"i'm sorry, harry. i didn't realize," she said. harry sighed and sat down on the couch, his head in his hands.

"i just have one question," elanora asked, standing in front of him. he raised his head up and she took in his appearance. his eyes were wet and tired; his nose was red and sniffles came out.

"in all of the years that we've been together, have you ever tried to find a loophole or something in the contract? a way that she can't get half of your company? a way that we could finally be together?" elanora asked gently.

harry was left speechless. he wasn't expecting such a question. he opened his mouth, then closed it again. he had no idea what to say.

he watched as elanora's face fell. "of course. get out, harry!" she pointed to the door. "elanora, baby please. wait, let's just discuss this-" harry began.

"harry styles, i want you out of my fucking house!!" she screamed. tears were running down her eyes like a waterfall. harry sighed and walked out of the door that she slammed behind him.

"and don't fucking come back!!" he heard her say.

elanora sank down to the ground. all these years and he didn't even try to find a way for them to be together. she clutched her stomach and gasped for air. tears blurred her vision as she tried to get up.

harry
"where were you harry?!" erin screamed into his ear as he shut the front door of his house. he winced at the sound of her loud voice.

harry had enough screaming and shouting for the day so he chose to ignore her. "i'm talking to you, styles!!" she screamed even louder.

"erin, calm down. i was at zayn's place," harry said in a normal time. a frown appeared on erin's mouth, he just lied to her face. he continued walking into the kitchen with erin hot on his trail.

"oh yeah? that's funny because i called zayn. he tried to cover for you, but he is a terrible liar, unlike you. you should teach him how to lie better," she snapped at him.

harry's eyes widened and he turned around. he really didn't need this drama right now after what happened with him and elanora. "erin, not right now. i'm not in the mood. don't make me say something that i will regret," harry said walking out of the room, rubbing the back of his head. he was starting to get a migraine.

"that's so like you, harry! walk away! just like your father did!" erin provoked him. harry turned around quickly. how dare she bring his father into this, he thought. something in harry just snapped that very second.

"fuck you, erin! you know what? i want a divorce!" harry shouted at her. erin froze, mouth agape, regretting what she just said.
