Chapter 23

ALEX PARR HAS JUST ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!

Alex looks into my eyes waiting for an answer, he is holding his weight with his arms which are either side my waist and his legs are either side mine. 

"Well?" Alex pushes with a worried expression on his gorgeous face.

"I-I can't. I-I'm scared." I stutter as I look into his gleaming eyes then look away.

Alex gets up off me, "What scares you?"

I sit up in front of him, "What if I get hurt? I can't deal with the pain." 

"I would never hurt you. Ever. Don't think that. I will protect you. Keep you out of harm. Always." Alex says as he holds onto my hands.

"I'm still scared." I reply as I look him straight in the eye.

"I can't lose you. I need you too much. Please be mine?" Alex asks with a sad expression, scared of the answer.

"I'm here for you, no matter what." I reply looking around.

My heart doesn't want to say that answer, but my mind is telling me that my heart could get hurt again. I cannot deal with the emptiness, not again. 

"Mila, please." Alex says as he holds my cheek with the palm of his hand so I look at him.

"I-" I get interrupted.

"We can try? If you can't take it, if I can't keep you happy. You can break it off." He says the last sentence with so much pain in his once bright and vibrant eyes.

"Yeah, okay." I say with a small smile.

Alex comes forward and places a soft kiss onto my lips. "It's late, go to sleep." Alex says as he gets off the bed.

I get underneath the duvet and rest my head on my pillow whilst Alex walks over to the door.

"Where you going?" I ask looking at him.

"Bed." He replies as he slowly opens the door.

I pat onto the bed, the side he usually sleeps on, indicating for him to sleep next to me. Alex walks over to the bed, slides underneath the duvet and wraps his arm around me, holding me tight to his body. He places a kiss to my cheek as I slowly fall into a deep sleep.

I wake up alone in bed. I look around to see if Alex was in the room, he wasn't. I look up at the clock to see that it was just past nine fifteen, my phone starts ringing. 

"Hello?" I say as I sit up to pick up the call.

"Hi, party on Friday?" Teddy says.

"Who's?" I ask.

"The town's annual ball. Jordan invited me to go with him." Teddy replies.

"Oooooo." I say

Teddy gives a nervous laugh, "You coming?"
