Always(Trilogy)

Chapter 23

~Allison's POV~

"What the hell took you two so long to get here?" Harry and I are yelled at as soon as we walk into the building.

"Sorry," I say. "We woke up a bit late."

"Well, don't let it happen again. Time is money people and you two don't make enough to be considered THAT important."

"Allison, Harry, you both need to get to hair and makeup quickly."

"I definitely haven't missed this." Harry speaks lowly so that only I can hear him. I don't even get to respond before I'm whisked away and shoved into a room.

"Allison?"

I turn around, eyeing the four people before me before a huge smile makes its way onto my lips.

"Elizabeth? Anna? Laura? Maria? What are you four still doing here?" I say as they all engulf me into one huge hug.

"We're your stylists, obviously." Laura rolls her eyes and smiles.

"Ugh it is so good to see you." Elizabeth hugs me tighter.

"It's great to see you guys too."

"Alright, I know we're all happy to see each other, but if we don't get Allison all made up in an hour, Carol's going to flip." Anna points out and sits me down in the chair which is set right in front of a massive mirror.

"So, Allison tell us what's been going on! We haven't seen you in ages. Maria, pass me the curlers please?"

"Uh...not much."

"Not much?! Honey, we know that's a lie. Tell us everything that's been going on between you and Harry."

"Yeah, we heard you two got a divorce." Maria says and Anna elbows her. "Ow! Sorry, I didn't know we weren't allowed to ask her about it."

"It's fine," I laugh. "I know I can trust you guys." I say. "Harry uh...he had an affair with another woman." I finally say the words and the response from the four women are exactly what I thought they'd be.

"What?! That dirty rotten bastard! How the hell could he cheat on you?!"

"Does he not realise how good he's got it? I mean, you two have three absolutely gorgeous children together."

"Not to mention, Allison you're such an amazing person. A wonderful wife, and mother, and supporter. What the hell was going through his mind when he did that to you?"

"Honey, we're so sorry. If there's anything we can do to get back at him, let us know."

" Yeah, I've still got three rolls of Charmin in my trunk from TPing my last ex boyfriend and I'm not afraid to use it."

"Thanks guys." I chuckle.

"Seriously though, Allison. How do you feel?" Maria asks. I shake my head slightly, trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to spill over.

"Every time I think about it...I have this big ball of mixed emotions. It's like my heart is being tugged in a million different directions at once. A part of me hates him and never wants to even think about him again, another part of me still loves him more than I love anything else, the pathetic side of me wants to see if it can work out again. I just don't know what to do about him."

"Do you still love him?"

"Yes." I answer without hesitation.

"Well then there's one question that you have to answer. Do you trust him enough not to hurt you again?"
