Threatening

Chapter 19

I waited on a near by bench, watching as Harry pulled out of the parking lot. The sky started to turn gray and the wind picked up. A few minutes passed and the last couple of teachers moved out of the building. I sat starring at the brick wall in front of me. Then a beep of a horn snapped me out of my daze. Harry's car was parked right in front of the sidewalk. I picked up my stuff and paced to the car, getting in without looking at Harry.

The car ride home from school was quiet since Harry was upset about me going to prom with someone else. It made me cringe to think that Harry couldn't trust me with another guy, I mean he's never even asked me to be his girlfriend and I refuse to not go to my senior prom.

"Harry why can't you trust me to go with someone else?" 

Harry's jaw clenched. "I can. Just not him."

"Why not?" Immediately I was beginning to become annoyed.

"Because you're beautiful Alex. Everywhere you go guys just watch you and it's disgusting." He groaned.

"Well if were going to be together you need to trust me. Also does it matter? You've never asked me to be your girlfriend."

The car came to an abrupt stop at a red light. "It matters Alex. It matters more than anything. You're everything I got. . ." His voice trailed off.

"If I can trust you then you can do the same for me." I paused. "What's a relationship without trust?"

Harry shot a glare at me. We stopped in front of my house and Harry came over to open the door for me. Once I was out he grabbed my bag out of the back and flipped it over his shoulder. He walked me up to the door, holding my hand. I stopped and pushed my bag against the door and Harry's height loomed over me. "Do you want to stay over for dinner?" I asked wrapping my arms around him.

"As much as I'd love to I can't. I have to watch Lucy tonight." His hot breath rubbed up my neck and he placed kisses just below my ear. "Plus, I can trust you to stay here by yourself." He whispered into my ear and a shiver ran through my spin. He looked back up at me and grinned. His soft lips placed a kiss on my lips for a split second and then he handed me my bag. I smiled at him and then he was on his way back to the car. Within seconds he was pulling away. I opened up the door, placing my bag on the table and my mom came running around the corner.

"Alex! Guess what?!" She yelled and her smile was beaming.

"What?" 

"Princeton! T-They accepted you!" She waved around a letter and ran in to hug me.

"W-What?! That's unbelievable!" My mom wrapped me in her arms, squeezing me tight. I couldn't believe it. I was going to one of the top colleges in the country. After my mom let go of me she handed me the letter. Tears of joy streamed down my eyes as I read the first line. I sat down the letter and quickly pulled out my phone and dialed Harry's number. It rang for a few seconds then he picked up.

"Harry! I-I got accepted to Princeton!" I threw my fist in the air. Excitement rushing through my body.

"Alex! I'm so proud of you!" His voice was raspy.

"I honestly cannot believe it. All my hard work. It payed off." I sat down on the couch and then all of a sudden my stomach started to churn. "Harry I have to go." I quickly hung up, cutting him off and then bolted for the bathroom. I slammed the door shut behind me and bent down in front of the toilet.

"Not again." I whispered as I clenched the edge of the toilet.

I heard two knocks on the door. "Alex sweetie, are you alright?" It was my mom. She opened up the door farther, exposing herself to me laying on the floor. 

"I-I don't know."
