Ali's POV:

Harry turned to look at me. He had a sad expression on his face and his eyes starting to water.

He put out his hand for me to take. "Come on babe, we can do this."

I sniffled one more time looking around at everyone. Each and every one of them had the same expression as Harry and me...

"Are you coming?" The blonde asked walking back out.

I sniffled again and stood up taking Harry's hand.

"We can do this," I whispered only loud enough for Harry.

He gave me a small smile as we all walked in to the building.

"Take the elevator to your left up to the 16th floor. First door on your right."

We all nodded and followed the instruction. As we stood in the elevator it was extremely quiet. You could hear a pen drop in here...

Finally Louis broke the silence though.

"Ali, no matter what happens. We're fighting for you. You're a part of us now. You're family."

I heard Harry let out a whimper which caused Louis to shove over to us and pull us into a hug.

God, when people said these boys were closer than family they were right.

I heard Harry softly sobbing into Louis's and mine's shoulder as we just stood there and hugged. I silently cried and squeezed both of them.

"Thanks Lou," I whispered.

I heard an, "Awwwwe," from around us and our group hug of 3 became a group hug of 10.

"He's right, Ali," Liam mumbled.

"You're already one of my best friends," Eleanor cried.

"I love youuu," Dani cried.

I cried along with everyone as we all just embraced everything and every one.

It was such a great moment we didn't even hear the doors bing.

"Erm... excuse me?"

We all pulled away, red and puffy eyed, looking at the now open doors with an old women standing there.

"Sorry, Miss," Niall said grabbing Leah's hand and pulling her out. We all followed, but Harry and I stayed in the back.

"Ali, you still want this, right?" Harry asked stopping and turning to look at me.

I felt my insides melt as he starred at me with his watering eyes. They glistened in the light and I felt horrible thinking this may be the end of us..

I reached up on my tip toes, since he's taller than me, and gave him a kiss on the lips.

Instantly he kissed back and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer.

Slowly, we pulled apart and rested our foreheads together.

"I take that as a yes?" He asked, eyes still shut.

I pecked his lips again.

"Yes, Harry. I want you... I want this... I want to be yours still..." I said softly trying to prevent myself from breaking down again.

He gave me a sad smile and grabbed my hand.

"Then let's fight for it," he said starting to walk towards the doors.

I followed with tears falling from my eyes.

We met back up with the rest of everyone and waited for the door to open.

It quickly was pulled back revealing a tall skinny man with black hair and thick rimmed glasses.

"Boys, nice to see you again. Ladies, hello," he said moving out of the way to let us in.

"Afternoon, Tim," the boys all muttered as we walked in to the room.

There was a huge table with about 20 chairs around it. Ten on each side.

At least we all were going to be together and on the same side.

There were two other men sitting down, and next to them was a sad looking Simon.

"Afternoon boys," he said.

"Hi Uncle Simon," the all said in unison taking the seats.

Dani sat next to Liam. Leah next to Niall. Perrie next to Zayn. Eleanor next to Louis. And I slowly sat down next to Harry as he took my hand in his giving me a reassuring squeeze.

"Hello Danielle, Eleanor, Perrie. Nice to see you again," Simon smiled.

They said their hellos back.

"And you must be Leah, Niall's new girlfriend?" Simon asked.

She nervously nodded and Niall smiled.

I saw Harry frown and I couldn't help but to as well.

I was happy for Niall and Leah. She seems incredibly nice and I knew she was super funny. But I just guess Niall had that Irish luck and they got to be together.

I just hoped some of it rubbed off on Harry and me....

"And Ali. I see you're doing better. Nice to see you again, dear," he said giving me a soft smile.

I attempted to give him one, but I'm betting it wasn't the best. "Yes, I am. Thank you. Nice seeing you too," I quietly said.

He shot Harry and me another smile as Tim went to take his seat across from us.

"Should we get started everyone?" He asked looking around.

All of us nodded.

"Okay then. I believe we all know why we're here..."

"Because I was stupid and forgot to ask for permission to date Ali," Harry mumbled.

I frowned and looked at him. He glanced at me and I noticed the tears already running down his cheeks.

"You're not stupid. It was a common mistake. Don't be hard on yourself Harry.." I whispered.

He squeezed me hand again and I felt the same tingles I felt when I was first around him.

"Well Harry.. You do know what we wanted for you..." Tim said writing something down on a sheet of paper.

I swore I could hear my heart crack.

"But I don't want that," Harry barked harshly still looking down and holding my hand.

I looked up at Tim and all of us but Harry starred at him intensely waiting to hear what he said next.

But after he said it, I wish I never heard it...

"Well I'm afraid Harry that we don't think you should be with Ali..."
