RUBY'S POV

It's been an hour and a half since Harry left.

It took 40 minutes for Alice to calm me down and bring me to the couch.

We've been talking about me and Harry, her and Niall, how I met the boys. Everything.

I told her about the alleyway. How I had to stay with Harry so be safe. The part where Harry beat up Sean, us being chased, the night I killed three men and found out who Luca really is and thought that Harry was dead, my three week recovery, everything.

I didn't have to explain to her who the boys were and what they did because Niall already told her that part. She was completely under shock when I told her everything that happened with me and how she had no clue.

She understands why I didn't tell her. She didn't tell me about Niall either.

"So what are you and Harry?" She asks.

"My boyfriend. I'm moving here tomorrow even though I already live here." My heart sinking a bit because I have no clue where he is right now.

"Woah- what? How did he ask? When did he ask? Have you guys done it yet? Does he treat you well?" She blurts out way to many questions at the same time.

After a while, I got through her question. I told her how he asked me out, about the times we went to look at the city, our car rides, breakfasts, our baths. Everything.

I told her we did have sex, but I left out the details.

I told her about my nightmares and how Louis got me some pills, how Harry took care of me and made sure I was okay.

"Are you lying to me? He seems like a complet ass" she asks.

"He's an ass to everyone that annoys him" I chuckle.

"And- what about the thing he said at Niall's party? That you guys left a dead man in the bathroom?"

"Ah, that. Well, I went to the bar to get Harry another drink when this guy asks me to come to the bathroom with him. I don't know what made me do it, but I went. Not to do anything, just to play around and show him that he can't go around using women as objects. I bit his ear and kicked him in the dick and I knew Harry would barge in at any second and bash his face in. When he did, I sat down and watched. While Harry was doing his thing, another drunk man came in the bathroom so I knocked him out" I finish.

"Woah-" her mouth is wide open, eyes wide, "you did that! Damn who are you" she teases.

"I was high on adrenaline but didn't go into shock again or anything" I say.

"That all sounds scary" she admits.

"Yeah but the adrenaline helps," I chuckle, "enough about me. What's going on with you and Niall?"

I can see her blush as she talks.

"He's amazing. He asked me to be his girlfriend the day of the party actually. I've been sleeping at his place. He's the sweetest man I've ever met!" She explains.
