Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 25

Updating because I have a flight again. Sorry for inconvenient hours.

I stop crying after about twenty minutes I hang up the phone. The dead is dead and you can't die with them.

I get up and decide to take a shower to wash off the remains of last night and that phone call off my skin.

Its only Tuesday and I missed another day of college. I am lucky that I can keep up with the school only with my textbooks. If I hadn't studied this hard in high school, I would totally fail everything now. Finals week is not until March and I probably should start going to class on the days I'm not with Harry but its always something that comes up.

Maybe I am just making excuses. I am not that popular in school and I have a small group of friends that really don't reach out to me until I reach them. I am not usually the type to got out to parties every weekend either. I like my privacy and calm life which has been so different from my life this last month.

I get out the shower and spritz some beach wave spray. While I wait for that to dry, I call Anne. She told me to call her back but I wanted to put off being scowled as long as possible.

"Alexandra!" She whispers to me. She is really really mad.

"Harry just came over from his room and he has not spoken to me one time. I asked him what happened and he told me its work. I guess you know whats wrong?" She asks with an attitude and a harsh tone.

"Like mother like son. Could you two please stop judging me for my actions?! He got mad because I told him I went out drinking last night and then accused me of not caring about my dead parents until they died!" I yell at her. I can take so much. The line goes dead and I hear her take a deep breathe.

"I'm sorry to hear about your parents and for my son and my actions." She says as her tone calms down again. I never saw Anne as the angry mother but fuck, that women gets what she wants.

"Thank you. I know I shouldn't have let Nadine tag along." I confess and she sighs.

"Thats what I wanted to talk about. Sorry I lashed out onto you like that but fighting with my son is not the way to go Alex." She scowls at me again. I take a really deep breathe before I answer this one.

"Don't you think I know that?! After all that happened, it was inevitable." I say too much. Anne picks it.

"What? What happened?" She blabs. I face palm.

"Nothing. Anne-" I can't tell her what happened. She never wanted that.

"Alexandra!" She raises her voice again.

"Anne, can you please let it go? Its private. Besides its over now so you have nothing to worry about." Except I made love to your son, dumped him the next day, the guy I 'loved' hit him, he told me I was unable to care until it was too late and left with Nadine on a fancy vacation. Just the usual norm, nothing to worry about.

"Fine. Why aren't you here?" I can feel the angry expression on her face through the phone.

"You forget I only work for him." I start to pace across the apartment to keep myself busy.

"Yes but I saw you guys' pictures in London and you leaving his apartment and such." I realize she is actually very creepy.

"Anne, maybe we should stop this all together. Obviously, he is Harry and he will do what he wants whether I try to do something about it or not. I can't control what he does when I go home. I can't control who he texts or calls." I rub my eyebrows. If I cut the deal off and tell Harry how I really feel, I will probably die before I get all that money in time. If I continue to do this, my heart is going to explode from the pain.
