Shadows & Stars

Chapter 16: Meet.

~Henry's POV

This weekend was one of the best ones I've had in my entire life. My ass still hurts though. Is 5 minutes of pleasure for 3 days of pain worth it!? If I'm being honest, I don't think so but when it comes to that moment it is all I want and I couldn't care less about the after effects. 

This morning before school, as I was getting dressed I got a message on Instagram. I opened the chat and this one made me terrified. It was a photo of Alexander kissing me at the football game followed by the words 'I wish that was me' 

That's not what terrified me. After that photo was another one when he kissed me in the school hall. This one was disturbing but not as much as the following one. It was a photo of my house. 'Morning Henry'  were the words that followed.

I rushed to my window to see if I can spot them. No one was in sight. I got shivers down my spine. Today was another rainy day so I wore long comfortable pants with another one of the shirts Alexander got me and over top I wore the hoodie he had given me. I paired it with shoes that matched the hoodie. 

Eloise wanted to pick me and Zachary up because I told them that I have big news. I rushed down stairs, waved my mom and dad goodbye then headed to her car. Zachary was already with her. "Hello!" I spoke with excitement. They greeted me back. 

"Henry SPEAK!" Eloise got right to the point. I told them everything. They were my best friends and I trust them with my life so I didn't spare any details. With every word I spoke there eyes widened and they both let out a few squeals. I told them about the fast thrust he made and how badly it hurt. 

"How did you feel the next morning?" Eloise asked with interest. "Oh it hurt like a bitch! When I stood up I fell to the floor in pain." They both laughed at my words. "Henry I can't believe you lost your virginity to a guy I have never met before!" Eloise tried being serious. "I know, but you will meet him someday." I smiled with him in my thoughts. 

When we got to school we saw Lucas waiting for Zachary. That is so cute. Lucas greeted us then him and Zachary left to go chill together before school. Me and Eloise don't have problems with that because we know it's the only time they get to see each other. That reminded me, "Eloise we still need to get you a guy!" I smiled wide at her. "Yeah we should but I'm not in a rush though." She smiled back. "You might not be but I am! Imagine going on triple dates! Me and my man, Zachary and Lucas, you and your man! That would be so cute!" She smiled. 

"By the way what is this mystery man's name?" She lifted her eyebrow. "Haven't I told you yet?" I tried remembering back. "I don't think so? If you have I probably forgot." She pushed her lips into a thin line. "His name is Alex." His face popped into my head again. "Ooooh! cute name!" I blushed again. 

The last bell of the day rang and Alexander said he'll pick me up after school to take me home. Eloise and Zachary offered to wait with me so that they can meet him. His school comes out the same time as ours so he has to drive from there first. "Guys please don't make it awkward." I asked them and pushed my eyes thin lifting up my cheeks. "We wont! I promise. I just want to see who stole my best friends heart." She looked at me with sassy eyes. 

A few minutes past and he pulled up with his black sports car. "There he is." I smiled. "Excuse me Henry, you failed to mention that he's rich!" She spoke before he stopped close to us. He got out with his masculine body bulging through his clothes. I walked over to him and he gave me a hug slightly picking me up from the ground. "Hello my boy." He spoke then gave me a kiss. I kissed back. "Alexander these are my friends Eloise and Zachary. And guys this is Alex." 

"Why did you call him Alexander?" Zachary asked curiously. "Oh he doesn't like it when people call him by his full name, so you guys have to call him Alex." I replied holding Alexanders hand in mine. "Still doesn't answer my question?" Zachary asked once more. Alexander interrupted. "Oh I don't have a say in that. He doesn't like calling me Alex so I had to make my peace with it." I smiled up at his face. 

"So...Alex...What is your full name because I most definitely will be stalking you after this." Eloise spoke with a lifted eyebrow. "Eloise stop!" I pushed her shoulder softly. "No it's alright I understand." Alexander smiled. "Alexander Deveraux." Eloise's mouth dropped. "What?" I asked her. "Deveraux as in the son of George Deveraux?" Alexander nodded. "Henry Alex's dad is a multi-millionaire." Her words made me feel uneasy in a weirdly good way. I knew their family was rich but millionaires!? That's next level rich. 

"I'm sorry, how do you know that?" Alexander spoke in her direction. "Oh shit sorry I wasn't supposed say that. My father is your fathers book keeper. Please don't tell your dad." She begged. "Oh don't worry I don't speak to him anyway." Alexander smiled at her. "Thank you because your family are my fathers biggest clients and if he loosed you he would KILL me!" She gave him a scared smile. 

"You ready to go?" Alexander asked me. "Yeah." I smiled at him. He opened my door for me and Eloise and Zachary both made the 'awe' sound. I blushed at them. 

~Alexander's POV

"Henry." I spoke as I rubbed his thigh with my thumb whilst I drove. He looked at me. I took in a breath. "Is everything okay?" I asked worried. "Yeah why?" He looked at me with confused eyes. "I didn't want to bring this up because it's personal, but the other night when we were busy, I've noticed something on your thigh, and I'm worried about you." I spoke about the cuts I saw on his legs. 

He looked out the window on his side as I could hear his breath shake almost like he was about to cry. I pulled over to the side of the road. "I'm sorry I brought it up but I care about you and that made me worried." I rubbed his back. His breath got heavy. He looked at me and I saw a tear run down his face. This made me sad. I don't like seeing my boy cry. 

I leaned in to give him a hug. He hugged back and started to cry into my shoulder. "We don't have to speak about it if you don't want to. Just know I'm here for you my boy." My words made him cry more. His tears making my shirt wet. I rubbed his back trying to comfort him.
