Before the fangs

Chapter 20

--Alex's POV--
"What the hell Alex?" Is the first thing out of his mouth, as I imagined.

"What?" I mutter closing the door behind me.

"You can't just leave like that!" He yells.

"Or what? You'll put me in the cellar again. Please, do it. I've got nothing to lose." I'm slowly dragging my feet up to my room.

"Don't say that." I can now actually see guilt in his eyes.

"Then don't give me a reason to. Face  it Harry, you're not cut out for this. You can't raise me here and you know that. I'm a kid. I'm supposed to be making stupid decisions with my friends not wasting my life away in a house that I'm hardly allowed to leave." I sigh.

"Alex I-" He begins.

"Don't. Just don't." I cut him off and walk up to my room.

"Please listen to me." He calls up the stairs.

"What Harry? What could you possibly say to make this situation any better?" I turn around.

"I know it doesn't seem like it but I really do care about you, a lot more than your asshole of a father. I'm trying my best to keep you safe. And maybe I'm not cut out for it but I'm definitely not going to let you down." He says and attempts a smile which makes me laugh, "that's a start." He finishes.

I turn to walk into my room but something stops me.

"Harry I met someone. A boy." Why the hell did I say that?

"What?" He appears again at the end of the steps.

"He's a werewolf." You're digging your own grave Alex.

Next thing I know Harry is up the stairs very concerned.

"And?" He raises an eyebrow.

"And he's really sweet. I don't understand why we're supposed to hate them." I say.

"Alex, you need to stay away from him." He says.

"No, why should I?" I ask.

"He's dangerous." He grabs my arms.

"You don't even know him." I pull back.

"I don't have to, they're all bad." He's beginning to piss me off.

"You need serious help." I walk into my room and slam the door behind me.

"Alex!" He yells through the door.

"Good night." I simply respond and eventually fall asleep.

--Calum's POV--
"So tell me exactly how you know this girl." Luke asks.

"We met when I was out hunting. She was, believe it or not, running away. I convinced her to go back home." I say.

"Oh so you're her hero." He nudges me and winks.

"No, it's not like that." I say.

"Oh whatever. It's so like that." He grins.

I mean he's not wrong but I'm not going to give him that satisfaction.

"Okay Luke, whatever helps you sleep at night." I laugh at him.

"No Calum, whatever helps you sleep at night." He puts emphasis on you.

"Oh shut up." I slap his arm.

"Speaking of which, it's late we should probably get to bed." He says.

"Yeah that's probably true." I nod.

We both get off the couch say goodnight and go to bed.
