Stepsisters

Chapter 2

Hanna's POV
"What? Mom, what do you mean they are moving in? We have literally just met them!"
"I know it's fast, but, we are ready for this."
"Maybe you are, but I'm not! I'm not giving up my room to share it with Alexa!"
"You two seem to be getting on fine!"
"Yes, I like her, but I'm not sharing with a 14 year old!"
"Hanna, stop!" Mom shouted. "This is my choice and Ted's choice. We are the adults and what we say, goes!"
I sighed and ran up to my room.

Alexa was standing in the middle of my room.
"Get your ass out of here!" I yelled at her. "I'm not sharing a room!"
"Hanna...? What?" She looked really taken back.
"Get your big butt out of here!" She started crying and ran past me.

Well done Hanna... You made her cry and you technically called her fat. Shit, I'm in trouble!
I fell backwards onto my bed.

"Hanna!" Noah yelled bursting into my room.
"What do you want?" I glared at him.
"What the hell did you do to Alexa?!"
"I told her I wasn't sharing a room with her."
"Yeah, well, she's locked herself in the bathroom." He yelled at me.
"Well what do you want me to do?!"
"Just think you should know, she's had eating disorders in the past and she has depression. And you called her fat. Do two and two." My eyes widened as I realised what I had done.
I ran to the bathroom.
"Alexa, I know you're in there." I said knocking on the door.
"You don't know what you've done. You shouldn't have said that to my sister. You don't know her." Noah spat at me.
"Dude, woah. I'm sorry, I didn't know." I snapped at him.
"That doesn't give you the right to say things like that! Leave, I can get this under control."
"I'm not leaving!"
"Please stop yelling!" Alexa cried form inside. It sounded like she was in tears. Shit.
"Alexa, open this door now!" Noah demanded.
"Go aw...away." It sounded like she was gagging or something. Fuck.
"Alexa! Open this door now!" I screamed and hit the door.
"Pl...please leave!"
"Noah, leave, I know what I'm doing!"
"Fine, but if you hurt her anymore, you've got me to deal with!" He threatened.
"Fine, whatever."

I sighed and put my head down.
"Alexa. Please open this door love. For me. Please."
"Just you. No one else." She said timidly.
"I promise!"
I could hear her get up, flush the toilet and walk over to the door then unlock it.
I hugged her tightly and went into the bathroom with her. She locked door quickly behind me.

"Alexa, look at me." She lifted her head and looked me in the eyes.
Her eyes were dull.
I could see a tiny bit of sick on the corner of her mouth. "Why? Why do this to yourself?"
"Because it's true." She cried.
"No it's not. I used to be bulimic. It's not nice. Please don't do this."
"Fine then, I'll starve myself."
"No you won't! Come on." I said taking her hand and sitting her down on the edge of the bathtub.

I took a damp cloth and wiped the sides of her mouth.

I took her hand again and walked down the stairs and out to my car.

"Where are we going?" She asked climbing into the front seat.
"Out for a coffee." I replied.
"Why? Why are you taking me out? I thought you hated me."
"I don't hate you Alexa. I'm just, a little overwhelmed right now. But, I love having a little sister!" I smiled.

Alexa's POV
I have absolutely no idea why Hanna is being nice to me. She called me a fat ass.
Ugh. I hate this right now. It's so confusing!

I looked over to Hanna who was concentrating on the road.
I then looked down to my arms which were covered by my sleeves.
I rolled the sleeve up slightly on my left arm.
There was some scars and fresh cuts.
I rolled it back down quickly when Hanna began talking.
"So, school is starting tomorrow, are you excited?"
"Not really."
"Eh, I get it. Starting a new school can be intimidating."
I nodded my head in agreement. But she kept rambling on and on...

"And we are hear!" She said eventually. God, that drive couldn't have been any slower if she tried.

We got out the car. As Hanna began walking towards the coffe shop, I turned around with a feeling of someone watching us.

"Alexa, come on!" Hanna yelled. I ran  to catch up with her and we walked into the Brew.

"Hey Emily!" Hanna smiled to a girl behind the counter. I kept looking out of the window.
"Hey Han. Who's this?" She asked.
"This is my soon-to-be stepsister, Alexa."
"It's nice to meet you." I was totally distracted.
"Alexa." Hanna nudged me.
"Oh sorry." I said snapping my head round to her. I shook Emily's hand.
"Okay, what can I get you?"
"I'll have a latte. Alexa, what about you?"
"I'll have a vanilla latte please." I asked and looked back out the window again.
"Spencer and all that are over there." Hanna's friends told us.
"Okay." Hanna replied grabbing my hand and dragging me over to them.

"Hey guys!" Hanna smiled.
"Hey Hanna Banana." A girl with long brown hair smiled. She had matching brown eyes and she looked quite skinny.
"Who's this?" One with blonde hair asked. She looked a bit like Hanna.
"This is Alexa."
"Hi." They all smiled at me. I smiled back, but awkwardly.

We sat down on a sofa. I was at the edge and kept looking out the window.

Emily brought our drinks over to us.
I smiled and thanked her and picked up my drink.

I kept staring out the window. I swear to god someone was following us.
Out the corner of my eye.

"Alexa, what is wrong with you?" Hanna asked.
"No-nothing." I stuttered. She raised an eyebrow.
"Please act normal for my friends." I sighed as Hanna went back to her conversation.

After a while of worrying. Hanna made me eat a muffin... Ew.

"Um, I'll be back in a minute." I said leaving the table.
"Where do you think you're going?" Hanna asked sternly.
"The bathroom." I replied.
"You better not be going to do what I think you're going to do."
"I'm going to the toilet to pee. Anyway, I have one older sibling, I don't exactly want another one..." I sighed leaving the table and going to the toilets.

There was a window.
I pulled myself up to the window ledge and opened the window the best I could.
I slid out through the gap and lowered myself down the wall.

I started looking around for a shady person. I went around to the front of the building.
Someone dressed in all black was heading towards a car.

I followed them quietly.

They got into their car and I hid behind a bush.

The person began watching videos. It was of Hanna. And her friends. And me?!

I knew it! This is the bastard who did it!

He followed me here! But why?!

Hanna's POV
"Where did Alexa go? She's been in the bathroom for ages." Ali said.
"Don't know, but, if anything happens to her, it's my responsibility..." I sighed getting up.

I went through to the bathrooms, no one.

I ran back out in fear something or someone had happened to her.

"Guys, she's not there!" I panicked.
"Right, stay calm-" I cut Emily off before she could finish.
"How the fuck am I supposed to 'stay calm'. She's going to be my stepsister, and I've lost her already!" I yelled, disturbing most people at the Brew.
"You didn't let me finish! You four go outside, I have to stay here, because I'm still working but I'll see her if she comes back."
"Okay fine." I sighed and ran out the coffee shop.

I ran over to my car but I saw Alexa running towards me.

"Alexa, where the fuck were you?!" I yelled at her.
"It's not safe here!" She looked like she was crying.
"What happened?" I asked calming down.
"It's following me!" She screamed.
"What is?!"
"A."
