Welcome Home

Alex's POV

I was laughing...I was actually laughing..laughing with other people. I have had the best two days of my life this weekend and today was my last night with my family. I am going back tonight to make it back by Monday morning.

"It's not that funny!" My dad protested as he took the last of the icing off his face.

"It's pretty funny!" I said between laughs.

"Will it still be funny after," He smirked evilly and ran towards me, "After I do this!" He shouted while rubbing the cake frosting all over my face.

"Oh my god!" I gasped as I wiped the icing out of my eyes, "You asshole!" I huffed while laughing.

"Goodbye, dad." I hugged my tighter ad nuzzled my head into his chest.

"Bye, bug...I love you." He whispered kissing the top of my head.

We let go and I gave my step mom an awkward goodbye hug before making my way to my sister.

"Sup, hoe." I jumped in front of her laughing.

"Someone's in a good mood today...how are you actually feeling?" She asked concerned.

I took a deep breath and flashed her a weak smile, "I'm fine." I lied, "I'm happy to be going back."

"Does Zayn...does he know?" She whispered.

I shook my head, "Of course not I-I just needed to get away." I said in a hush tone so my dad and step mom wouldn't hear.

"Okay well you better not keep your can waiting, doe." She winked and wrapped her arms around my neck hugging me tight.

"I'll see you later, Jessie." I said pulling away, I sent my family a slight smile and walked over to the cab getting in and making my way back to my house.

"Alex!" Emily shouted jumping up from her seat next to Niall and running over to me pulling me into a bone crushing hug.

"Em..can't...breath!" I huffed I pushed her away and she gave me a sympathetic smile.

"I just really missed you!" She sighed, "You can't just keep running off like that dumbass!" She punched my arm.

"I told you, I just needed some time to myself. Quite acting like my dad!" I stuck my tongue out at her she mirrored my actions.

I walked into my room throwing myself onto my bed dramatically and closed my eyes.

"Your back." I heard a voice say from the other side of my room.

My breath hitched in my throat and I jumped up.

"Shit! Zayn, you scared the hell out I me!" I told him, running a hand through my hair.

"Sorry." He chuckled and walked towards me through my door way, sitting next to me on the bed.

"I'm glad your back." He said rubbing my knee.

"I'm glad to be back." I lied.

"Why did you leave?" He asked.

"I missed my family." I lied once again.

"That's nice," he paused, "Now tell me the truth."

I looked at him wide eyed. "What do you mean?" I asked looking down at my hands.

"Why did you really leave?" He questioned.

"I just..really needed to clear my head." I told him, he stood up and paced in front of me.
