The Personal Assistant (Harry Styles)

I- Thirty One

"Victoria. It's also Harry's fault. I understand that you wanted to protect Harry but what I mean is.. How about the child? Can you raise the baby alone? Are you going to keep the baby?" Simon worriedly asked, "I don't mean to drop but, I'm just worried."

"I can be a single mother, Simon. Just don't let Harry loose his career because of this. He's already reaching his dreams and the last thing on my mind right now is letting him know about my pregnancy.."

"So you don't want him to know about your baby?"

"Yes. As much as possible, I don't want any of the guys to know about this. The only people that I've told are you and Lou."

Simon shook his head, "I can't believe this is happening."

"Me either, Simon. But what's done is done. I'll take full responsibility of my child. Without Harry." I shakingly said, preventing my tears from falling, "Just don't let him fall from his career right now.." I begged Simon.

Simon looked at me, like he's really worried. "Okay Victoria. I'm glad that you're concern about One Direction but what I'm more concern about is you.. You're going to raise a life inside you without any man to guide you. Especially the baby's father." Simon sat on the table in front of me.

"I can raise my baby well."

"I know."

"Just take good care of Harry. I promise to stay away as much as possible during my pregnancy. If the boys asked where I am, just tell him it's an emergency and I needed to fly to California." I reasoned, "Or better yet, don't tell them where I am, tell them I'll continue studying to become a doctor."

"Okay.." Simon held my shoulder, "You can go now, Victoria. Promise me that you'll be careful especially now that you're pregnant. I can be the baby's godfather, if you wanted to." Simon laughed.

"Yes. Sure." I said. I stood from my seat, "Anyways, I need to go." I wiped my tears, "Tell the boys to keep on doing what they're doing. And tell Harry that.." I stopped myself.

"That you love him." Simon continued.

"No! I mean-"

"You love him. You're doing this because you love him. I totally understand you, Victoria."

I never said a word but Simon said, "Love's a very powerful thing, it can either make you or break you. In your case, you're breaking yourself just to keep Harry safe."

I nodded and turned my back on him, "Yes. I love Harry. And I'm doing this for him.." I walked towards the door, grasped the doorknob, "And tell Harry that I'm sorry if I hurt him. I'm sure he'll be happier that I'm out of the picture now.." With the final word, I opened the door and left the room.

Harry's Point of View

After the show, the five of us was called by Simon. And we're on our way to Modest for the meeting. I just hope that this isn't about new girlfriends or even Victoria.

"What do you think is the reason for the meeting?" Niall asked.

"I don't know.." Liam answered, still texting Sophia. "Maybe another addition to the line up of shows?"

"Hope so." Zayn responded, "But hey, where's Victoria?"

"She left earlier. I don't know why.. But she said that she needed to talk to Simon." Lou explained. My heart suddenly began pounding hard against my chest, please Lord. Don't let this meeting be about her.

"Maybe she quitted." Louis said, "Maybe she can't handle the stress anymore?" No. She can't quit. That's the least she can do. And, I can't bear to be away from her.

"Maybe? I mean it's really stressful to be always on the trend, calling a whore because she's always with us. You know, the paps are like have the masteral degree in making stories." Niall said.

"She can't quit." I suddenly told them and they all looked at me, "I mean she needs money right? She's broke." I'm a dick. Sorry.

"Harry, don't say that. Victoria's just doing you guys a favor, she took care of you." Lou said. I just nodded my head, giving them the impression that I don't care about her but the truth is, I care. I really do.

The van pulled over. We entered the building and stepped inside the elevator, hoping that it will be fast to be gone to the 10th floor. After a few minutes, we're now seating in the meeting room with Simon.

"So thank you for coming, I called you for a meeting because we lost a staff." Simon began, "Not gone as in dead, what I mean is, she quitted."

"Who quitted?" Liam asked.

"Victoria. She quitted her job, a while ago."

My heart shattered into million pieces, hearing this meeting won't make me last long and I wanted to get out of this room, to find her.

"The bad news is, she quitted, good news is, she's pursuing her career as a doctor." Simon explained, "I can't just keep her, she has a brighter future ahead of her, and I told her to grab the opporunity."

"She should have said goodbye." Zayn said sadly, "She's a very nice woman. But.. What can we do right? That's what she wanted, let's just support her."

"Where is she going?" I asked.

"That, I don't know. She didn't mentioned it." Simon answered but I know he's lying.

"Liar." I murmurred. I hurriedly grabbed my coat and keys.

"Woah mate. Where are you going?" Niall said.

"To her." I answered.

"Who? Suki?" Louis asked.

"No." I faced them, "You guys told me that if you know that you have the right girl for you, you just need to keep her, hold her and never let her go.. And that's what I'm doing right now. I let her to be gone once but now, I won't allow her to leave me."

"The shithead's into Victoria." Liam teased, "Go."

"And I'll try my best to have her again." I expected Simon to be mad but instead, he smiled at me.

"You're a grown up man now. Go on, son." He said. I nodded and hurriedly ran outside the room towards the parking lot.

I pushed myself into the car and started my engine, I'm secretly wishing that Victoria's still in her house so that I can make it up to her. To say sorry, to have her and to love her again.

I pulled the car infront of her house and I pulled myself out the car. Hurriedly, I ran to her house and knocked on the door. Screaming her name, no one still seems to answer.

"Victoria! Let's talk. Please!" I begged as I continue to knock on her door, "Please baby. Don't leave us.. Don't leave me." I hardly knocked on the door, like I'm about to break it but no one really answered the door.

I dialled her number but it was automatically sent to voice mail.. I tried again, but she's not here.

She's gone.

Victoria's gone.

"Victoria, open fhe door please.." I slid down the door making me sit on the floor. Then it hit me, she's really gone. She left me without saying goodbye.

The last time that I cried is when Mom and Dad filed for a divorce, but Victoria's another reason for me to shed a tear.

"Please Victoria, don't leave me.." I murmurred, trying to stop my tears from falling. I dialled her number again.

Hey it's Victoria. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you later.

I ended the call and bowed my head, "Victoria. I love you." I murmurred, "But you left me.."

I cried in pain, because for the first time, I felt this sensation called heartbreak. And it's all because I fell in love with my personal assistant.
