Always(Trilogy)

Chapter 7

A/N

Guys I'm sorry it's been forever since I've updated. I've been really busy. All last week I was preparing for cheer only to not make the team(BOO) and then I went camping and I've just been exhausted. I've also been busy editing CWSIAOA so if you go back to read it, some things have been changed and it's just a lot better writing than when I first wrote it. Now that I look back I can't believe you guys have continued to stay with me on this story lol. This chapter really sucks it's so bad I don't even think I should publish it but here you go! I'll try to update again during Spring Break(which I am on right now). I won't be doing much so I'll have loads of free time.

I love you guys so much!!! Comment and vote please!! xx~Keke

~Allison's POV~

"How do you feel?" I ask, taking a seat next to Harry on the freshly mowed grass. I lay down next to him, staring up at the cloudless, blue sky. 

"Fine," he sighs. "Just worried. I don't want anything to happen to you guys. This is all my fault." he sounds angry. This is partially his fault, I'm not gonna lie. Still, I can't stand the sound of desperation and self-loathing in his voice.

"Everyone'll be fine. Nothing's going to happen to us. The police are going to make sure of that." I try to not only reassure him, but myself as well. 

"The police can only do so much, Allison." he says and he's right. James is smarter than the police, he's proven it time after time. Somehow, he sneaked into my house and was able to get up to the kids' room without making so much as the slightest noise. If I hadn't found him when I did, what would he have done to the kids? 

"Where's the note the so-called nurse gave you?" I ask. He rests his head on one of his elbows so that I can see the look on his face. He looks both angry and apprehensive which only fuels my curiosity as to what information or threat the note holds.

"I'm  not sure you should read it." he says, frowning.

"I need to know what it says." he shakes his head.

"Allison, I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Harry, please." I plead and sigh, rolling my eyes. "It's not your decision. You can't dictate what I can and cannot do anymore." his eyes are filled with anger and frustration. I know immediately that I've pushed him too far.

"I don't give a damn!" he yells. "Do you remember what I promised you when we got married?" he says and I think back to that day. It was the best day of my life and despite everything Harry and I have gone through, I don't regret a second of it. I wouldn't change anything at all. I'm not happy with what happened between us, and if I could go  back and relive all those wonderful memories we shared, I would gladly do so. 

"I promised I'd always protect you and love you. I don't care that we're divorced, that promise still stands. Husband and wife or not." his voice is softer now, blazing jade replaced by a soft emerald. I stare into his eyes, not knowing what emotion mine are holding. I know Harry still cares about me, he always has. It's just never been enough to not continue hurting and breaking me until I was broken.

"But you're right," he says after a few moments of silence. "I can't control what you do anymore. I shouldn't have been doing it in the first place." he takes a piece of folded up paper out of his back pocket and holds it out to me.

~Harry's POV~

She stares at it for a moment, her breathing coming out ragged. 

"You're scared." I say aloud and her eyes look up to meet mine. She's absolutely fucking terrified and it's breaking my heart to see her living in fear. If we were still married, I'd be able to protect her, keep her and our family safe.
