Unexpected Fate
Chapter 34
Aria’s POV
I had done what Harry had asked but I couldn’t hold back any longer. I knew she would do nothing but deny everything and I didn’t want Zayn to leave without knowing the truth, no matter how much it hurts. I flung the door open, eyes focusing on Perrie. The expression that crossed her face when she saw me was a mixture of pure disgust and hate, “What the hell is she doing here?”
I stood my ground, anger possessing every feature of my body. I returned the same looks, but before I could say anything, Suzan stepped out from behind me, crossing her arms. The words that escaped her mouth were venomous, “Exposing the truth. Would you like to, or shall I?”
Perrie’s eyes snapped to Suzan and I swear I saw a slight glint of fear but it was quickly covered, “And you are?”
Suzan snorted in disgust, “Are you really going to play the ‘I don’t know you’ card? Are you really that dim?”
Perrie opened her mouth to speak but Zayn spoke, “What the fuck is going on? Why are they here,” he nodded to me and Suzan.
This time, I spoke, “Like Suzan said: exposing the truth.”
Perrie rolled her eyes, “You’re just pissed because your ‘boyfriend’ can’t keep his willy in his pants.”
Harry shot up out of his chair, “Like fucking hell! Just come clean already! Why drag this out any longer? You’re caught, Perrie.”
She snickered, “Yeah, okay. You all are mental. You have nothing against me.” She turned to Zayn, taking his hand, “Let’s go, babe.”
He nodded his head and they began to head towards the door. I wasn’t going to let that happen. No fucking way. After all the hell she caused me, there was no way she was just going to walk away from this. I made sure that when I spoke, my voice was icy, “And you see, that’s where you’re wrong. We DO have something against you.”
They both turned to look at me. The look on Zayn’s face was curious but angry at the same time. Perrie just narrowed her blue eyes. I turned to Suzan and nodded slightly and a smug smile spread across her face. She was loving this a little too much. She pulled out her phone out of her back pocket and quickly found what she was searching for. She took a few steps towards Zayn and Perrie, pressing play when she was only a few footsteps away. The room was so quiet that the recording flowed through the room without a problem. I never took my eyes off of Perrie’s face; at the same time trying to avoid Zayn’s all together. They were still hand-in-hand as Perrie’s face changed to a mask of pure horror. She knew she was done for as soon as she realized what the recording was of. The recording played for a few seconds, and I knew Zayn was still confused, but Perrie was like a deer in headlights. I was savoring every look. I knew it was wrong to have such satisfaction from her fear, but after all she put me through, any regret washed away.
‘You really wanna know?’ There was a short pause, ‘I told her I knew she was up to something and I would tell everyone in a heartbeat, when I truthfully didn’t know anything. I just wanted to scare the little bitch, and then I found out she had actually been up to something, which just made it all the better. I hadn’t liked her from the moment I heard about her because she was a nobody who thought she could just sweep into the boys lives and act like she was somebody. But then fate turned in my favor.’
I snuck a glance at Zayn. He still seemed a little confused. I looked down at their hands: his fingers slowing loosening from hers. What he heard next made him drop her hand all together.
‘Thank you. Now that she’s gone, maybe I could console Harry, if you know what I mean.’
His face turned from confused to hurt and angry. His face was full of so much pain that it made my heart break at just the sight of him. The recording kept going and no one said a word.
‘Babe, Zayn is great, but every woman wants a little taste of Harry Styles, and what better timing than when he is in a fragile state.’
That sent Zayn over the edge. He turned to look at Perrie. She had tears streaming down her face but I didn’t feel sorry for her. Don’t even a smidge. Zayn’s expression was full of pure, raw hate, “How could you do that? No, better yet: WHY would you do that? I loved you and then you go and try to get with my mate? I took your word over his,” he motioned towards Harry. “Everything you said was a fucking lie. Everything you did was fake. WE were fucking fake!”
She looked him dead in the eyes, “Don’t do this, Zayn.”
He threw his arms in the air in bewilderment, “Do what, Perrie? See you for the shady bitch that you actually are? Too fucking late.”
Zayn strode towards the door, flinging it open and disappearing into the hall. Perrie started to go after him but Louis intercepted, holding her back, “You need to leave him alone. Better yet, you need to leave.”
She glared up at him, “I will leave when I am ready. You actually think I’m going to let what those bitches say, break Zayn and I up?”
I gritted my teeth together, “You did that all on your own, Perrie.” I felt a little smug reciting the words she told Suzan about Harry and I breaking up.
Harry slipped out the door behind Louis and Perrie. Perrie turned to me, glaring at me. I actually felt like she would kill me if Louis let her go, “You know what? You’re right, but kissing Harry was the best thing I did.”
She smirked at me and that was all it took. Before anyone could stop me (let’s face it: Suzan wasn’t trying to stop me at all) I strode over and slapped her straight across the face. I hit her hard because she cried out in pain. She started thrashing in Louis’ arms, trying to get a hold of me. She went limp in his arms, finally giving up, “You all are bloody mental!”
It felt so good being able to slap her and remember. Words could not describe.
Louis rolled his eyes, “Coming from the bird that tried to shag her boyfriend’s best mate, after breaking him up with his girlfriend.” He looked at Suzan, “Go call the front desk. Tell them we need security.”
A devilish grin spread across her face and she happily obliged. Perrie kept making snide remarks towards all of us, but within a few minutes, hotel security was there to escort her out of the building. Before she walked out of the room, her lips curled up in a sneer, “You and Harry deserve each other. You are both fucking lunatics.”
I smiled at her, mustering up the most genuine smile, “Thank you.”
Before she could try to make another remark, security took her out, and I knew, deep in my gut, we wouldn’t be seeing her around after that.
Harry’s POV
I chased down Zayn to his hotel room. I managed to stop the door with my hand before it closed. I slid in, shutting it silently behind me. I found Zayn sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands, “I really picked a fucking winner, didn’t I?”
I walked over, sitting down beside him. It put me in mind of how Louis tried to talk to me after everything with Aria. I knew if I made it through it, Zayn definitely could. I spoke softly, “You didn’t do anything wrong, Zayn… I would have done the same thing.”
He huffed, “I listened to her over you, Harry. You should fucking hate me right now.”
I chuckled, “You believed what you wanted to. It’s only human. We sometimes pretend that the truth isn’t really the truth, you know? Sometimes the truth is just so devastating that we go with the easiest path, which is usually full of lies. But beating yourself up over what she did isn’t going to help anything.”
“I know,” he mumbled, “Everything she said was just… horrible. But I did love her, Harry. I really fucking did and that’s what is gutting me so bad.”
I put my arm around his shoulder, “You fall in love so easily, but when you fall, you love with your whole heart. One day you will find the girl who won’t take advantage of that. But right now, you have to learn from those mistakes and move on. It will take time, but it isn’t impossible. We are all here for you, mate.”
I peered up at me from his hands, “You would really still be there after everything I said to you?”
I grinned at him cheekily, “Of course. You’re one of my best mates. But, you will have to do me a few favors.”
He raised one of his thick, black eyebrows, “Like what?”
I smirked at him devilishly, “Do my laundry for a week… No, wait. Do mine AND Louis’ for a week.”
Zayn finally cracked a smile, “Like hell.”
I playfully pushed his head, a little too close to his hair, apparently, “WATCH THE HAIR!”
I threw my hands up in defense, “Sorry, Mr. VAIN.”
He rolled his eyes but we both busted out into laughs. Zayn and I’s friendship had been so rocky, but I knew that after this it would be stronger. We both respected each other and no matter what, we where there for each other. We didn’t have the same friendship that Louis and I have, we all have something different with one another and that just makes us all the more special. I knew as soon as Zayn cracked that smile that he would be okay, and I think he realized it too. I could feel my life being put back together. It all happened one piece at a time, but everything was coming together.
I had done what Harry had asked but I couldn’t hold back any longer. I knew she would do nothing but deny everything and I didn’t want Zayn to leave without knowing the truth, no matter how much it hurts. I flung the door open, eyes focusing on Perrie.
