The song is called Demons by Imagine Dragons. (I don't own the song or anything!) I think this song basically sums up Alex and Phil's situation at this point. Hope you enjoy it and the chapter! :) Feel free to listen and watch it, while reading.
Thought you guys deserved an early update, so here it is without further ado...

Alex's p.o.v
My heart was racing. Phil glared at me, tightening his grip on my shirt. Suddenly, he dropped me onto the floor and stepped back. His eyes were wide with panic and his hands were clasped over his mouth.
He moved to help me up, however I brushed him off. I was beyond pissed. Can't a guy just storm off dramatically in peace anymore? What the hell was wrong with him! This is not how you should treat a future king, I thought to myself.
Barging into him with my shoulder hard, I stormed off down the corridor. What was that for? He looked angry, but why? I've done nothing wrong. I bet you he's just jealous. Probably. Although, if he has a problem with me then he can say it to my face, the coward. I can't believe him!
Footsteps echoed behind me. I didn't bother to even acknowledge Lucy's presence. Breathing heavily, she started walking backwards while speaking to me. However, all I heard was white noise. My head was spinning. I rubbed my temples, hoping to stop my growing headache.
"Why can't people just leave me alone! Can't you see I'm not in the mood to talk at the moment?" I yelled, but it came out more like a whisper. What was happening to me? I'm taking control, that's what. Anger. Betrayal. We're taking over.
"No your not!" I accidentally spoke aloud. Lucy frowned and placed her hand on my shoulder. I flinched and quickened my pace. She followed me, keeping up with me.
"The blue door is your bedroom, if you want somewhere to have a tantrum." She told me, scanning my eyes. I felt like she was trying to look into my soul. Without warning, a blood-curdling scream filled my head. I cried out, falling onto my hands and knees.
Lucy kept talking, but I couldn't hear her. Visions of demons laughing and my mother kept flashing through my mind. Putting my hands over my ears, I looked up at the ceiling. The screams became distant as Lucy lifted my chin up, so I was looking at her eyes.
My breathing slowed down as everything went silent. My head was throbbing. What the hell was wrong with me? Why is this happening to me?
"It's ok Alex. Everything will be ok. I promise," she began, but I stopped her.
"STOP IT!" I bellowed, before getting up. I wobbled around until I regained my balance by using the walls for support. Rubbing my temples, I tried to stay calm. Why do people keep making promises that they can't keep? Three times now. Three times people have promised me it will be ok, but they just go and break them within seconds.
"I can sense your fear Alex. Your anger. It's ok, Alex. I'm here for you." She reassured me, rushing to my side. I rolled my eyes.
Turning a corner, I sighed with relief at the sight of the door. Finally! Bursting into the room, I slammed the door behind me, however Lucy held it open. I groaned. Flopping onto the bed, I muttered "Leave me alone!" into the duvet.
I felt the bed sink under her weight. Slowly, she shuffled along the side of the bed. I turned to face the wall. She let out a long, deep sigh.
"What's wrong Alex?" She asked, placing her hand on my shoulder. I winced at her touch and sat up hastily. She furrowed her eye brows at my reaction, but carried on trying to comfort me nevertheless.
