Always(Trilogy)

Chapter 21

*Allison's POV*

"Hi, I'm Guliana." the interviewer introduces herself with a friendly smile.

"Harry." Harry shakes her hand

"I'm Allison." I smile and hug her before we all sit down. 

"Okay so, there have been a lot of questions flying around over the past couple of years about One Direction, you two in particular, though." she starts out. "Let me just say that I, personally, admire your courage to adress them in such a public manner so, thank you both for allowing us to do this interview."

"No problem." Harry smiles. What a lie. We're both sweating like to teenagers who did the dirty and are now sitting in front of their parents.

"Okay so, I want to start from the beginning. How did you two meet?" 

"Our mother's were best friends since what you all would call high school. When they both got pregnant around the same time, they thought it would be the perfect oppurtunity to make us best friends as well." Harry begins. "We've been best friends ever since."

"What was your childhood like?"

"We had some amazing, absoultey wonderful times as children and we try to allow our kids to have the type of childhood that we did because you can't put a price on something as precious as time. They're growing up and their childhood is fast fleeting." I answer. "But, I think the most important thing to think about is the kids you know, how can you make sure that you can provide them with everything they need to be their best? How can you help them succeed in any way they possibly can? And that's what we try to do, is look out for what's best for our kids."

"Speaking of, how are they?" Guliana asks with a smile. "You have three kids right?" A picture of Harry and I with Brooklyn, Daliah, and Nicholas shows up on the screen. I remember this picture like it was yesterday. Harry and I had taken the kids to the park and then to get icecream before we were invaded with paps and forced to go back to the hotel.

"Yes." Harry answers, a smile breaking out on his face. "Brooklyn, Nicholas, and Daliah." 

"They're so cute. How old are they?"

"Brooklyn's about to be five, so she'll be starting kindergarten soon, and the twins are two." I answer. 

"Well, they're absolutely beautiful. Congratulations." 

"Thank you." Harry and I mutter.

The majority of the interview consists of playful banter and numerous questions. I'm suprised at how easy this interview is and I'm less nervous than I was when we first started, but Harry still hasn't let go of my hand. I can tell we're both thinking the same thing. We're waiting for them to bring up the divorce.

"I know that very recently, you both went through a very tough time together and I don't want to pry but...how are things between the two of you now?" Guliana respectively questions.

"Allison and I still care for each other, we're still there for each other." Harry begins. "Things may not be the way that they were before, and maybe that's a good thing. The divorce was and still is very hard, but we've both chosen to move on with our lives. And we'd appreciate it if everyone would respect that as well."

Guliana nods. "Well, we're out of time but I'd like to thank you both again for being on the show and agreeing to do this."

Harry and I nod, and I force a smile on my lips. 

"Aaaand we're off."

Simultaneously, Harry and I both let out a sigh of relief. I look over at him and both of us immediately begin laughing. He squeezes my hand and smiles briefly at me.
