Hey you guys! I just wanted to let you all know that you might want to go back and re-read the first few chapters. I have deleted the last 20 chapters because I felt as if they were inadequate. I am sorry for the inconvenience. This is being posted on 1/12/2019. Thank you all for the love and support.

Harry's POV

I was more than upset with Winter. She embarrassed me in front of my family. But yet I still couldn't get myself to think about living life without her. She was currently getting ready to go on a day out in the town. "Winter, please let's talk about this. I'll do anything to fix our relationship. Anything. I can't imagine life on this earth without you," I walk up behind her as our eyes lock through the mirror in the large bathroom.

"Like what Harry? There's nothing we can do to fix this. We both knew this was inevitably going to come," she wouldn't look up into my eyes to make eye contact.

"I'll do anything. Anything. Winnie, lets go to marriage counseling and if that doesn't work, then you will have your way. I promise." I was begging, on my knees, at this point. I couldn't let my wife just up and leave me like that, even though I had been cheating on her. Winter was the only woman I could see a future with.

Winter looked up at me with her stunning eyes. "Fine Harry. We will go to marriage counseling. For one month, once a week. If I don't see any type of improvement during this time, I am continuing the divorce as quickly as possible. This is your last chance, Styles." I grabbed her hands, kissing the backs of them lightly.

"I won't let you down again, I promise my beautiful wife." I wrapped my arms around her, not wanting to let go. I knew she hated being this close to me right now, but I couldn't help the joy in my heart. She was giving me a second chance. A second chance that I sure as hell didn't deserve.

She forced a smile and pulled herself from me. "Get that counseling set up as soon as you can. Time is ticking." And with that, she was walking up the stairs.


*the next morning*

I got a counseling session with the best therapists in the city. I pulled a few strings and got a session the day after Winter told me she would give me one last chance. So here we are, sat in front of a middle aged man.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Ellison. I will be your marriage counselor. I have managed to save ninety-five percent of failing marriages that have come to me," he smiled. But this guy was so monotonous. I don't know how I'll be able to survive a whole hour in a room with this voice.

Winter shook his hand and smiled at him, "very nice to meet you. I am Winter Styles, and this is my husband Harry Styles," she introduced us so beautifully. Gosh why was I so dumb to cheat on someone so perfect.

"Oh, so you're the person they go to if I can't fix it," he tries to make a joke, causing me to let out a forced laugh.

"So, why don't we just cut to the problem so I can get you back to a happy functioning couple," he looks down at his clipboard as he speaks.

"Well I'll go ahead and share my side then," Winter starts. "Harry and I got married at a young age, we probably should have waited a little longer, but that's not the point. We were a super happy couple, but then we both hit a road bump. We tried for children, and we've come close multiple times but it always ends in a tragedy. Within the past year, it's been the worst. Harry stopped coming home, and when he did come home he smelled of another woman. So you can get where I'm going with this," she stops and grabs a tissue to wipe under her eyes before the tears streaked her makeup.

I looked up, getting ready to share my side of the story. I mean she pretty much told the truth so I had no reason to lie. "I know I screwed up, I really do understand that. And it's my fault for not being there for her. And it's also my fault that I confided in another woman for emotional support, but then again that's why I'm here," I stopped. "We're here to become stronger than we've ever been."

Dr. Ellison looked at us with a faint smile as he tapped his pen on his clipboard. "What I recommend to the both of you, is that you go home and spend time together. As much time as possible, reconnecting in your old ways. I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but we are starting with the small stuff. I will see you next week, hopefully with improvements." He got up and exited the room.

"Well let's go home and do what the expert says," Winter spoke as she stood up, walking to the door. Dang, she looked so good in those skinny jeans and that shirt. And those heels. Gosh, was I such a fool for screwing up.

We drove home in semi-comfortable silence. As soon as we got to the place we called ours, I ran upstairs, running Winter a nice warm, bubble bath. She walked upstairs with two wine glasses, handing me one.

"You didn't forget. This is my most favorite thing to do," she smiled at me. Soon she slipped out of her clothes and into the water, I sat on the ground beside her as we always did.

"I can't believe I married such an amazing woman," I whispered as she looked over to me. "You are such a blessing. I would do anything to make you happy again," I rested my head on the side of the large bath tub.

"I don't want to live here anymore, can we possibly move to a different house," Winter whispered, barely audible. I knew exactly what she was trying to do, she was trying to erase bad memories.

"Yes, of course, my love" I pushed some of her hair out of her face. "We will start looking for new houses tomorrow. Anything for you," I smiled softly.

With these new steps in our life, we were creating a better future for our happiness and love.
