Electricity - Alex Turner

27. Only the truth

Alex's POV:

After I arrived home I quickly took a shower and jumped in my bed. It felt like it was all a dream. But it wasn't. She trusted me again.

I grabbed my phone and because I was curious I opened Instagram and typed in the search bar her name. I quickly found her account and pressed on it.

She had lots of pictures with herself and she looked happy in them. It hurt me knowing that she wasn't happy. She was smiling in almost every picture when she was with her friends but her eyes were sad.

I was now looking at pictures from the last year and I accidentally liked one.

"Fuck!" I exclaimed. I quickly closed my phone, hoping that she won't see it.

I got a message and opened my phone again.

"Is stalking your new hobby?:)"

Fuck.

"I didn't meant to press that heart button" I replied.

"Are you free tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yes I am. Why?"

"Would you like to go out tomorrow for lunch or something? I mean it's totally fine if u don't want to." She replied.

"I'll pick you up at 12. Now go and get some rest, please. Text me when you wake up." I said.

"Good night :*"

Arabella's POV:

After I spent two hours in the mirror trying to make my hair and after I adjusted my clothes I quickly ran outside when Alex called me.

I just put on a pair of shorts and a black tight top with noodle arms and some high heeled boots. I went out and I spotted an black Cadillac. I got in and looked at Alex.

"Nice car." I joked. "Seriously, it's one of my favourites."

He chuckled. "I can let you drive it whenever you want to."

"Oh shut up." I giggled and put on my seatbelt. "Where are we going?" I asked.

"I don't know. Do you have any ideas?" He asked and began to drive.

"I might have an idea." I nodded.

After a twenty minute drive we arrived at a restaurant but we took a table outside because it was too hot. I looked at Alex but I couldn't see his face because of the sun and I placed my hand above my eyes.

"This place is beautiful." He nodded.

"Yeah." I said. "Thank you for yesterday. Really. Thank you for letting me talk about my problems."

"Are you insane? Why are you thanking me?" He asked and I placed my other hand on the table.

"Uh.. I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"Bella. Stop apologising and stop thanking me. Why are you always apologising?" He asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "But I do have to thank you."

"Take these." He said as he removed his sunglasses and handed them to me.

"No, no I'm fine." I said and he rolled his eyes and placed his sunglasses on my face and I groaned. "Do I even look good?"

"You look amazing. As always." He said and I rolled my eyes and smiled. "We should take a picture."

"Okay." I nodded and he took his phone from his pocket. We took a few pictures and just giggled like two kids.
