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

Chapter 19

Harry's POV

Bam.

The door closes before I get the chance to go into the office. She is really going to do this by herself. I don't understand how she thinks she will be on her own this time. I know I said I can't be on her side but I will always help her. I love her. She knows that.

I walk back into the waiting room and take a seat in one of the chairs. The women behind the desk has not stopped smiling and flipping her hair at me. I decide to have a little fun with it.

I wink at her and she nearly falls off her chair.

"Hi" I say getting up and walking over to the desk.

"h-hi" She stutters.

"Can I have your name, babe?" I ask.

"Lindsey" She says blushing.

"That's a pretty name." I say.

"Can I have a picture with you? My boyfriend won't believe you are here." She asks taking her phone out.

She has a boyfriend. Well I feel bad for flirting with her. " Of course."

We take about five pictures before I take a seat back down. I decide to check my phone for anything from the boys. I have 3 missed class from Zayn and several texts from the boys. I decide to call Zayn back.

"Harry?"

"Hey, sorry I am with Ally." I say.

"Where are you? She left the interview. Is she okay?" He asks worried.

"She is okay. I will have her call you once she can." I answer.

"Where are you?" He asks again.

"I will just have Ally call-"

"Where is she? Why can't you put her on the phone right now?" Anger raising in his voice.

"Um... She is talking to someone right now." I try to think of something.

"I know you are lying Harry! I just need to talk to her" Anger clearly in his voice.

"She is really talking to someone. I can't interrupt her. She doesn't really like me right now." I don't lie.

"She always wants to be with you. What did you do to make her not want you?" He is still angry but now has worry in his voice.

"She is just having a hard time with the fame and I don't think she can handle it anymore." I say. I can't lie to him anymore he has to know the truth.

"NO! I knew management would try to put a strain on our relationship. She doesn't want to be with me does she? She is going to run again?" He starts to yell at first then I can hear the worry and pain in his voice.

"Zayn, I don't know what she is going to do this time but she is freaking out. I will bring her back to the house when she is done talking to umm... whoever she is talking to." I catch myself before I said lawyer.

"Okay. I just hate this. I thought we might actually work this time. I love her but the fame is ruining us again." I can tell he wants to cry.

"Zayn, what ever happens I am going to be with you the whole way. I am not going to take her side.  You are my best friend so I can't let you suffer while I am with the love of your life. If things don't work out I am going to be done with Ally. I need to be the best friend I haven't." I tell him.

"Thanks mate. I think things are just going to get worse." I hear a slam on his end of the phone. I believe he probably threw something.

"I will be there for you and the other boys will too." I say trying to clam him down.

"Call me when you are on your way to the house." Zayn orders before hanging up the phone.

Poor Zayn. I have no clue what he is going through and I can't even imagine. I know I have dated Ally before and she left me, but Ally is his wife. When you marry someone it's for life. Zayn is going to be a wreck when he is handed the divorce papers and I am going to be there to help him through it. Ally wants to do this on her own and I will let her do that.

Ally walks out about an hour later. Her eyes are puffy and red from crying.

"How did it go?" I ask standing up to give her a hug.

She rejects me walking towards the door. I follow and tell Lindsey to have a nice day before leaving the room.

"Ally, Zayn called he is worried about you." I tell her as she is continuing to speed walk out of the building and to the car.

I can tell by her not responding, she is pissed about whatever happened in that office. She only is silent when she is mad. I hate when she gets like this because you can't get her to do anything. It is like talking to a wall.

We get to the car and I unlock it before we get in. I turn the car on and pull out of the parking lot. Ally is quiet and won't look anywhere but out the window.

"Ally, can you please tell me what happened in that office? When I bring you to the house Zayn is going to be asking you a lot of questions." I try to get something out of her.

No response.

"You know I can't help you if you don't talk to me. I am always here for you and you know that. I can't be there for you if you shut me out, Ally!" I start to raise my voice. She is getting on my nerves.

I look over at her for a second and I can see tears coming down her face as cries softly. I move one hand from the wheel to her thigh to comfort her. She looks down at my hand and pushes it away.

"Seriously? You want nothing to so with me? Are you just going to ignore me forever?" I say louder than I intended that makes her jump. She starts to cry louder.

"I am sorry. I just can't stand you not taking to me. I want to help you, let me" I apologize.

She turns to me and finally response. "You can't help me anymore. I am on my own once I tell Zayn it's over. I am leaving once the papers are signed."

"Ally...It's going to be okay. You can always talk to me." I say because I can't think of anything else to say.

"NO! I don't want to hear it. I am done with people telling me it is going to be okay. It is going to suck being on my own but I need to do this to be happy. So stop trying to help me I don't want it. I want to start distancing myself so it won't hurt so bad." She yells then cries.

I pull into the drive way and turn off the car but before she can get out of the car I say "If you really don't want my help don't come crying to me. I don't want to hear it anymore. I have been there for you for about 2 years and this is how you are going to treat me. I am done."

I get out of the car and walk through the front door and greet Zayn who is pacing the room.

"Where is she?" He asks worriedly.

"In the car. I am done with her." I sigh running up the stairs to my bedroom.
