Pain 2: Him (H.S)

Chapter 78

Some of you asked for a summary of what has happened so far since updates have been slow, so here it is: After Harry and Alee split, Harry went back to London, attempting suicide like he had planned since he killed Niall because of the guilt, but failed multiple times. Being the Harry that he is, he's now back to doing drugs and drinking while Alee is beginning to move on with her life where she's allowing Zayn to fill the space Harry left empty. Mia's little sister Charlie has found Harry and confronted him about her disappearance but he refuses to tell her. To refresh your memory, Mia is Harry's ex-girlfriend who was drugged/assaulted by Blake, Harry's "gang" member who used to date Mia. Principle Laveck and the administration of the school are growing concerned about Harry and has sent the truancy liaison to his house many times and they are planning to contact his mom who doesn't know he's back in London. Now, Harry has slept and is spending some time with his childhood friend Mareligh who's encouraging him to call Alee and is helping him find his way back to her. Alee misses Harry but doesn't know if she wants to allow Harry back into her life after what he had done to Niall. So now she's going to attend a party where something might or might not happen (wink wink) and the rest you'll have to keep reading :) Hope this helped. Enjoy!

Alee's POV:

The shades are up, the door is locked, and I'm sitting beside Alan's desk with my legs crossed and his resting on my lap. The lunchroom was too loud and I was uninterested in the conversation my table was having, so I came up to spend the rest of the time with him. He ordered Chinese from the local shop down the street and the aroma of the chicken and broccoli has filled his classroom like an air freshener.

"Did it hurt?" He asks tilting his head back to slurp his noodles.

"A little bit, yeah." I admit to him.

With the chopsticks in his mouth, he shakes his head and disapprovingly rolls his eyes, "what else are you going to get? A tattoo?"

"Why not?" I smile challenging him but he doesn't seem to be up for it.

"Keep dreaming." The man who got his first tattoo at fourteen says, and I agree with him to prevent banter between us to. He was angry, still is a bit, but he's getting used to it. I'm not a child and I know I'm not an adult yet, but it's not a permanent accessory. I can take it out whenever I please.

While I chew my chicken and pick at the noodles with my fork because I'm not skilled enough to use the chopsticks, my phone rings and amplifies throughout the room. Alan turns to play Candy Crush on his computer while I sluggishly stand to cease the obnoxious ringtone I've been meaning to change for the past six months, and rummage through my suitcase of a purse until my hand touches the bottom.

"Can you answer that shit already? It's giving me a headache." Alan complains picking at the bits of chicken in his teeth.

To silence the obnoxious marimba ringtone, I answer the phone and put it to my ear walking back to Alan and eating the chicken off his chopsticks. "Hello?" I laugh covering my mouth to prevent bits of meat from flying out. "Hello?" I say again preparing to hang up until my ear jumps from the hoarse accented tone, and my whole body becomes numb.

"Hey." He murmurs to me but I'm left speechless. "How are you?" His voice is so smooth and gentle, just like how I remember, and the chills blanketing my flesh has doubled and all the hairs on my body are standing. Hurriedly, I leave the classroom not bothering to explain to Alan where I'm going because he's so invested in his game, and I step out into the vacant hallway with no sound but him breathing in my ear.
