Chapter 44

I didn't want to interrupt the wedding, but Alex had to leave. What the hell was he doing here? I thought he was gonna leave me alone now, he hadn't bugged me in almost two months. Harry looked like he was gonna cut someone's head off, and that's probably because he wanted to. Alex just kept smirking and smiling at me, and I could see Harry out of the corner of my eye, staring at me and then shifting his glance back to Alex.

Perrie and Zayn were now saying their vows, making some people cry. I'm very emotional, but I only teared up because I had to keep watching Alex. But what was he doing here? What did he want?

The ceremony ended and was sealed with Perrie and Zayn's kiss, and we all slowly shuffled out of the church after the newly married couple. The party part was being held on the beach, under a huge tent. When we all got to the beach, we walked under the big tent, and I took Harry's arm to the bar.

"Did you see him?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.

"Of course." Harry frowned.

"It's okay. He hasn't-"

"Ariana." Alex said, tapping my shoulder, and cutting me off.

"What the hell are you doing here, man?!" Harry asked, stepping in front of me.

"Stop. When he came on the tour bus, everyone just fought. I won't let that happen again, not here." I said.

"Alright, then we can take it somewhere else." Harry suggested.

"No!" I objected.

"Look, I just need to talk to Ariana." Alex said.

"No you can-" Harry started.

"No, it's fine." I said, kissing Harry's cheek. "I'll be right back." I followed Alex to the other end of the bar, where no one was, and he started talking.

"I'm letting you go." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I just wanted to tell you in person, that I'm leaving you, letting you be free. Go fuck Harry all you want, I don't need you anymore."

"Thank you." I nodded, wanting to smile but resisting the urge.

"And another thing..." He started, looking down. "I'm going to jail." He sighed.

"What?!"

"Yeah. So can I at least just get a good bye?" He asked. I hesitantly nodded, and hugged him. "I'm so sorry for everything I've done, Ariana, really. Will you come visit me in jail?" He asked.

"I don't think so." I said, pulling away from him. "But thanks for the apology." I smiled.

"Have fun with Harry." He smiled. He kissed my cheek, and walked away. I grinned and walked back towards Harry who looked furious.

"Why did you hug him? Why did he kiss you?" He asked.

"He kissed my cheek." I laughed. "But he's leaving me alone." I smiled.

"Really?" Harry grinned, showing his dimples. "How do you know he's telling the truth?"

"He's going to jail." I smiled.

"What?!" Harry laughed, picking me up and spinning me around and kissing me.

"Woah, what's happening here?" Zayn asked, walking up to us with Perrie.

"Congratulations!" I screamed, hugging them. They laughed, and looked at me, wanting me to explain. "Alex is going to jail." I laughed.

"That's amazing!" Zayn said.

"About time!" Perrie said.

"Perrie!" Jade yelled, running up to us with the rest of Little Mix.

"Come dance!" Leigh-Anne jumped.

"Wait, we have to dance first!" Zayn said, stepping in, and taking Perrie's hand to the dance floor. I turned around, and took Harry's hand to the dance floor, making a big circle with everyone around Zayn and Perrie as they started to dance to the slow music. I looked up at Harry, and smiled.

"That'll be us one day." Harry smiled, and kissed me.
