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

Chapter 18

Ally's POV

"Allison Malik?" I hear someone knock on the door.

"Yes" I answer.

"It's time for your interview."

Here we go, this is going to be a disaster. I hate interview and all this fame. I deal with all of this because of Zayn and if I wasn't with Zayn I would be with Harry. I have no escape from it.

"Coming" I say opening the door.

I follow the guy, I assume he is the interviewer, to the two chairs facing each other. I have only done one interview before and that was when Zayn first engaged to me. We went on the Ellen show and she was super nice to me and didn't ask me any uncomfortable questions. I wish I was back on that show instead of here. Zayn will probably never want to speak to me again after this. I feel awful for all that I have done to him. I don't know why I can't just be happy with him and not have the urge to cheat. When I am with Harry I don't feel the same. I feel like I can be with him and only him but I love Zayn. I really do.

"Okay, so Allison is this your first interview?" He asks.

"I was on Ellen once and you can call me Ally."

"Ally so I have interviewed Harry and Zayn already today. I didn't know you had such a history with both of them. How does it feel to be the only girl that has slept with two out the five guys in one direction?"

My jaw drops. "What?" I spit out, I am so shocked that he knows this, who told him?

"You have slept with both Harry and Zayn. Is that correct? And you cheated on Zayn with Harry multiple times, right?" He pushes.

"You seriously expect me to answer these questions. I don't think so. My love life does not concern you. The only thing I will answer is anything that has to do with my memory loss and only certain things that concern me and Zayn." I say. I would get up and walk away but I told Zayn that I would do this interview for him.

"Well then how about we watch Zayn's interview." He says pointing to the T.V behind me.

The interview starts to play.

"Oh. How could Harry date her, when he knew that you two are married?" He asks.

"Harry and Ally had dated before I even met her. Harry still had feelings for her and I let it happen. I wanted her to be happy even if she was having sex with my best mate." Zayn covers his mouth. "I didn't mean to say that. I am sorry Ally."

How could Zayn say that? He just told the whole world I have had sex with Harry. That is the worst thing that could happen. The fans are going to hate me. I don't even say anything before I get up from my chair and walk out of the building. I can't deal with this fame anymore. I should have never let Zayn come find me. I knew it would not go well.

I am standing outside looking for a taxi or someway of getting to Harry's house to get my things and leave. I can't handle the questions, the shit that will come out of this, and poor Harry and Zayn will be hated. I can't be around to watch this. I am going to run again.

"Ally!" I hear Harry yell from behind me. I hear his foot steps getting closer.

I turn to look at the tall green eyed figure standing in front of me.

"Are you okay?" He asks pulling me into a hug.

"No.." I start to cry into his chest. "I can't do this anymore. I need to leave for good." I sob.

"I know." He says. I am surprised that he is not begging me to stay. He agrees with me.

"What?" I pull out of the hug.

"I know. Fame isn't for you and you need to be happy and being here with us isn't going to do that for you." He explains.

"But....you aren't going to fight for me to stay?" I ask.

"I would but the best thing for you is to be out of the public eye. You deserve to be happy and you can't be happy here. I do want you to be here more than anything but I can't see you like this. You have cried everyday since we found you. I want to see you smile not in tears." He says wiping my tears away with his thumb.

"Thank you." I say giving him a hug. "Do you think you can drive me somewhere?" I ask.

"Of course. Let me get a car." He says removing one arm from me but the other one still wrapped around my waist as he gets his phone out of his pocket. He calls for a car, which shows up five minutes later.





"So where do you want to go?" Harry asks as we pull out of the parking lot.

"A lawyer." I say.

"Are you sure?" He ask.

"Yes." I say confidently. I am ready to divorce Zayn I need to get out of the public eye. I always have a feeling to run and I always do but this time it is for good.

"Okay," he says and neither of us say another word until we pull into a parking lot of a law firm.

"Do you want me to come with you?" He asks, turning off the car.

"Can you please, I need you." I say as we both get out of the car.

We walk into the tall building and take the elevator to the fifth floor. I walk over to the desk.

"Hi, I am looking to get a...a divorce." I stutter, thinking about what I am actually about to do. Harry grabs my hand in his to comfort me and I give him a small smile.

The lady at the desk answers "You are going to want to see Mr. Martin. He is currently busy for the next 3 weeks. Is this urgent?"

"Um...I...um" I stutter again.

"Yes, she needs to get divorce papers today." Harry says for me.

"Are you her husband? And may I ask for your name." She asks.

"No, I am a friend." Harry says but the lady looks at our hands intertwined and thinks otherwise.

"I am Allison Malik, well soon to be Allison Hunter." I say.

Her eyes widens when she realizes who I am. " Oh! I will get you an appointment right away. Oh my! I can't believe you are here and you must be the Harry Styles." She says all giddy and nervously.

"Yes, I am." Harry says trying to avoid eye contact with the star struck secretary.

"Okay. I will just go talk to Mr. Martin. He would love to help you. I just know it." She gets up and goes down the hall.

"Does everyone know who I am?" I ask Harry as I hug him.

"It's okay. This will be over soon and you can start over." He says squeezing me.

"Where am I suppose to go? I don't know anyone else. I am going to miss you." I say worryingly.

"I am going to miss you too," He kisses my head before continuing. "You have your friend John. You can ask to stay with him."

"I can't do that!" Reject pulling out of the hug.

"Why not?" He questions trying to wrap me in his arms again.

"I don't know him. I have only worked with him for a month. I can't. It would be weird."

"Okay, how about I buy you a house to stay in and only I will know where you are and that way you don't have to worry about bills and stuff. You can pick the place you want to live and I can take care of the rest." Harry offers.

"I can't let you do that either!"

"It's the least I can do. You have been through hell. I want to help you. Let someone help you for once."

"For once? I don't need help if I did I would ask for it. I don't need you to buy me a house. I will just have to continue working and figure it out." I grow angry.

"Where are you going to stay then? I am sure Zayn won't want to see you again and this time I have to be on Zayn's side. I can't keep picking you, the boys will hate me," Harry says and his words pinch at my heart.

I know Harry has to choose a side but this time it won't be mine. I am going to lose him and the rest of the boys. I will be alone again like when I first went to London.

"I know." Is all I can say before the women comes back in.

"Mr. Martin will see you now. Go down the hall and the first door on your left is his office." She says sitting back in her spinning chair.

"Thank you." I say before we make our way down the hall. I stop before I get to the door. "Wait, I can do this by myself."

"No I want to be with you." Harry says.

"I can't depend on you anymore. I have to start doing things on my own and getting use to doing things without you being there for me." I reply seriously looking in his green eyes.

"I will always be there for you. You know that." He says grabbing my hand. I pull away and walk into Mr. Martin's office. I shut the door before Harry could come in.

I feel bad that I won't let Harry in with me but he is not going to be around after I file for a divorce. I am going to lose the only rock in my life. I have to do this for me and Zayn. We are not meant to be together anymore. It is not worth the pain. I am going to lose everything but my life will go back to how it was when my mother was murdered.
