The Way We Once Were

Chapter 6

"Okay, enough you two!" Courtney says giggling as I roll my eyes.

"Whatever!" I say, yawning.

"Tired, mi amor?" Alejandro asks while putting his arm around me.

"Yep." I say, yawning for a second time. "You guys can have the spare room." I say to Courtney and Duncan.

"Alright! Goodnight guys!" Courtney says as her and Duncan go off to the spare room.

"Goodnight." I say as me and Alejandro walk into my room.

Then, I notice how messy it was. I completely forgot about the mess.

"Shit! Sorry it's so messy! I haven't cleaned!" I say panicking.

"It's fine, mi amor, don't worry." He says calmly. "Let's just go to sleep." Alejandro suggests a we get into bed and go to sleep.

1:49am:

I'm woken up to a knock at the door. I go downstairs to the door and look through the peep hole. I spotted someone outside but couldn't tell who it was. I turned on the outside light and saw it was Liam. I opened the door a bit..

"Liam?" I say, the light hurting my eyes.

"Heather, I know it's late, but can we talk?" Liam says.

"Uhm sure, come in, but be quiet." I say letting him in.

"Why is someone here?" He asks.

"Yeah, Courtney's here." I say, lying to him.

"Oh, okay. I'll be quiet." He says, sitting on the sofa as I join him.

"Look, I know you saw me kiss Alejandro but, if i'm being honest, I really missed Alejandro and, yes you're really nice, but i don't know. Something about Alejandro makes me miss him. I'm sorry." I say, sighing.

"Heather, it's fine. I understand. I'm sorry for lashing out at you. It wasn't the right way to handle the situation. But I get it, I saw how you and Alejandro were on the show and I can see why you missed each other." Liam says.

"Thanks for understanding. We can stay friends." I say, hugging him.

"Thanks Heather." He replies.

Alejandro's pov:

I wake up and notice Heathers not in bed. I get up and hear quiet talking downstairs. I reach the bottom of the stairs and hear Heather talking to someone. I poke my head around the corner and see Liam sat with Heather. Then, they hug, so I step out from behind the wall.

Heathers pov:

"Oh, Alejandro. I didn't know you were here too." Liam says.

"What's going on?" Alejandro asks as I turn around.

"Oh, don't worry Ale. He was just apologising for his outburst." I say.

"Hm, okay." Alejandro says.

"Anyways, that's all. I'll let you sleep now. Goodnight." Liam says as he gets up and leaves.

I lock the door, then me and Alejandro head to bed.

Next morning:

I got out of bed and walk over to the bathroom. I pick up my hair brush and start brushing my long, black, silky hair in the mirror. Then, I go downstairs and make coffee for me and sit in the living room. After about 10 minutes, I hear someone get up.

"Morning, mi amor." Alejandro says, smiling and sitting next to me.

"Morning!" I say as I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks.

"Mhm. A bit tired though because of how late Liam came yesterday." I reply.

"Well, if you want, i'll stay here today." Alejandro says, putting his arm around me.

"Yes, please." I say.

"Aw look at you two!" Courtney says as her and Duncan join us on the sofa.

"Shut up!" I say, rolling my eyes.

"Anyways, me and Duncan are gonna head home. Cya guys!" Courtney says as they get up.

"Bye guys!" I say waving at them as they left.

"Can I go shower?" Alejandro asks.

"Of course, use my bathroom." I say.

"Thanks!" Alejandro says, getting up and going upstairs.

I get up and go into the kitchen to make some food. Then, I hear a noise in the living room.

"Alejandro?" I say, turning around as the lights turn off. "Is that you?"

Then, the kitchen lights go off. Panic kicks in and I quickly scramble for the handle on the pantry. I open it but, before I could go inside, someone grabs me...
