Threatening

Chapter 12

It was a little after midnight and I just could not fall asleep. The events that happened earlier kept replaying in my mind like a broken record. I tossed and turned in my bed all night with the impossibility of getting comfortable. I flipped up and down my TV channels trying to get interested in something but my mind was on other things. Alex was on my mind all night long. I closed my eyes shut and my body cringed as I kept thinking about how I yelled at her for nothing she had no control over. I finally got a gut feeling that I should call her back, but what if she wasn't awake? May as well take the chance.

I grabbed my phone off the dresser by my bed and sat up dialing her number. The phone rang about three times and I got more and more nervous, anxious. Honestly I was hoping for her to pick up but then I didn't want her to. Finally she picked up and I gulped.

"A-Alex. Talk to me. Please." I begged her and I could only here her breathing. "Alex."

I heard her sniffle her nose and it sounded like she had been crying. I felt so horrible for what I've done. My stomach started doing back flips and somersaults as I kept listening to her cry. I put my hand over my eyes and sighed. 

"Alex I-I'm so sorry for how I treated you." I felt tears build up in my eyes, only a matter of seconds before they started to fall.

"Harry I'm tired of your apologies. Sick and tired of them." She paused and I heard her ruffling sheets. "Honestly, I wish we could work this all out but I don't think we can. We're two totally different people and I just can't do it."

"But I want to prove to you I can. " I quietly sad.

"If you wanted to prove that you could you would of done it already. I'm begging you, just please leave me alone and forget that this even happened ok."Her words pierced straight through my skin. I felt like someone just stabbed a knife right through my heart. Alex was giving up on me.

"Alex you don't understand. Ever since I met you, you've completely changed my life. When I seen the way my little sister smiled and laughed at you, it just..." I paused and felt my heart drop. "I'm all she's got..." I trailed off and wiped the tears from my face. "Alex I need you in my life. Honestly, I don't know what else I could say or do to you to make you believe me but please. Just please." Silence was only thing I could hear on her end. I felt like hanging up and my stomach was in knots.

"Promise me." She whispered.

"I-I promise Alex." 

Silence was heard on her side. "Can I come over to your house?" Her voice was quiet and I couldn't help but smile.

"Please."

(Alex's POV)

My mom somehow accepted me "Going over to Kaitlyn's house" just after one in the morning. I pulled up in front of Harry's apartment. Quickly I ran across the street with the neighborhood not being one of the safest. Street lights dimly lit up the black pavement. As I walked up to his door it opened right in front of me. There stood Harry looking beautiful as ever. Brown curls escaped the sides of the beanie he wore, causing him to look younger. He was also shirtless, exposing his tattoo's and perfect v lines. I was so tempted to trace my fingers across his abs. The light glow of his porch light made his eyes sparkle. A smirk was on his face as I was caught checking him out. The smile on his face showed off his dimples. Harry looked like the small fight we had just had, had no effect on him.

His hands wrapped around me. "You look good in shorts. Very sexy."

"To bad you won't be getting in them." I retaliated.

"Why don't you come in and we'll see." His hand enclosed on mine and I walked inside. After taking my jacket off he pushed his front against my back, wrapping his arms around my stomach. I tilted my head to the side as he started leaving hot kisses on my neck. His fingers slipped under my shirt, lightly pressing into my skin. His lips moved onto my collarbones giving me goosebumps from the warm sensation. I accidentally let out a small moan as his hands moved more up, just under the edge of my bra.

"No." I stated. His hands slid back down my stomach, just above my hemline of my shorts.

"Alex please."

I spun around in his arms. "I just can't ok. Can we please just go to bed I'm tired."

"Only if you'll snuggle up to me." He smirked.

"That I can do." 

He took my hand in his and lead me to his bedroom. That night we laid, backs together as we listened to the quiet sound of rain hitting the windows. The warmth of his body on mine gave me goosebumps. The way his long fingers smoothed up and down my back sent shivers down my spine. Harry's body fit so well against mine, but how long could this last? We've only known each other for about two months now and everything so far has been rocky. My mind was circling with thoughts. Could we last? Would we ever get to exchange the three little words 'I love you' or was this all misleading me into a huge mistake. 

Overall, could I trust Harry?
