Too Much To Ask ( Zarry fanfiction)

Alison, Isaac... Goodbye

Niall's apartment was a little different from the last time Harry had been there. The kitchen now had built-in furniture, and more furniture crowded the space.

Niall led Harry to the guest room. They had barely exchanged a word the whole way to the apartment.

"I have some bigger sweatpants that can fit you. There's a towel in the closet." Niall said to Harry, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Niall." Harry said as his friend prepared to leave the room. "Do you think...do you think I did the right thing?"

"You did what was right for you, Harry." Niall gave him a gentle smile.

"Is...I just hope everything is going to be alright, you know?" Harry was close to crying. Deciding against leaving the room, Niall sat next to Harry on the bed. "Life is so unfair sometimes, is not it? I wanted Zayn to be with me more than I wanted anything in the world. Just when I had thought I was wishing for the impossible, he showed me I was wrong for thinking that." Niall put his arm around Harry's shoulder who was now crying. "And then I realized that love was the best thing I had ever lived and felt, Niall…I had a family. Every ‘I love you' Emma said to me was..." Harry cried uncontrollably. "I love her so much, Niall." Harry hugged Niall. "But she lost her father because of me. I wanted Zayn so much for myself that I took him away from her, I took her father out of her life."

"Shhh, Harry, don’t talk nonsense..." Niall hugged him harder, stroking his fully messed curls. "You gave her a new life, you gave him a new life too...Don’t blame yourself, my friend."

"Zayn called Lindsay this morning asking to speak to Emma. Lindsay said Emma was okay and that she did not want to talk to him. You should have seen how he was when she hung up the phone. I could feel all the pain he was feeling just looking at him..." Harry got up from the bed. "Tomorrow will be a new beginning, Niall. I'm sure that, since we are not together anymore, it will all be easier."

"I hope that too, bro."

"Emma will have her father back…and I can live with my best friend..."

“That's the good part. I'll enjoy sharing the house with you again."

The two hugged each other. Harry sighed, making himself believe that he staying away from Zayn would be the best for everyone.

"Harry" Harry opened his eyes as he felt a soft hand touch his hair.

"Alison?" Harry asked, scared, and sat up on the bed.

"It's me, my dear." Alison said to him with a friendly smile, "I know you're here because you think it’s for the best, but it’s not, Harry. They're your family, Emma loves you...It was so painful for me all this time to see them suffer, and then you came into their life. They are happy today because of you. Even if Zayn succeeds to bring Emma back, they will still be incomplete; they will miss you, Harry."

"I'm trying to do what's best for everyone." Harry told her. Alison had a very bright light around her.

"I'll tell you a few things my dear, but you will not remember when you wake up. You and Zayn have fallen in love in every life, but in none of them have you been able to end up together. Every time you choose to reborn hoping that, in another life, your paths will cross again and things will be different and you will finally end up together. You cannot escape what is predestined. When it was my time to leave this world, I could not leave in peace, because I saw the sufferings of Zayn, the guilt he felt for my death. I could not leave my little daughter alone…until I was informed that you would come, that you were the twin soul of Zayn. Because of you, I could finally leave with a light heart, Harry.”
