Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 25

Harry's P.O.V.

I've promised Bree twice now that I won't mess up, yet I keep doing it. I need to stop being such an ass or she'll leave me for good, which isn't apart o the deal. Not that I care about the deal anyways, she just can't find out about it. No one really can. At least it didn't start that way. I defended her, which is good on my part, right?

I don't really want to do the deal anymore. I mean that's the only reason why I kept hanging out with her, and then one thing led to another. The problem is that now, I actually might have feelings for her. She just makes me feel different than any other girl I've been with, and I've been with quite a few, but she doesn't need to know that.

I left her house a while ago to go meet up with Alex. He's the one who brought up the deal, and I only agreed to it because the first night I spent the night at Bree's house, she said that she's never let a guy sleep over the first night she met him, and didn't know why she let me, but she did.

I have to admit, I felt pretty angry finding out that Steven has hit her before. I don't know why but when I brought her home, I felt this need to protect her, from anything that can hurt her. I won't let Steven touch her ever again, or anyone for that matter, not even Alex. And I don't understand why he needs me to be with Bree in order to get to Kaylee. Oh well. It doesn't really matter.

"Haz, how you doin?" He pats me on the should and I harshly push him away. "What is your problem?" He asks.

"I don't want to do the deal anymore. You can get Kaylee on your own." I huff.

"What? You can't just drop the deal."

"I can and I just did." I begin to walk away from him.

"No, you aren't going anywhere with out telling me why." He garbs my shoulder.

"I swear if you touch me one more time, I will beat the shit out of you. And I don't have to tell you anything." I scold.

"Wait. Do you actually have feelings for her? Oh this is grand!" He laughs.

"Shut the fuck up, don't talk about her. She's mine." I yell.

"She can be all yours, I don't care, but just remember, dropping the deal means consequences." He smirks evilly at me.

"Don't you fucking touch her, Alex." I swear if he does, I'll fucking kill him.

"I won't, but let's just say a new plan came to mind." He smirks and walks away.

"Fuck!" I yell and punch the building.

"Woah man, calm down." I turn around to see Tony and Devin walking by. Shit.

"I'm calm." I say lowly.

"Doesn't look like it bro, you might want to go get that cleaned up." He points to my blood dripping hand. I look down and it looks pretty bad.

"Hey babe, wasn't that Alex?" Devin asks Tony and points to where he's walking across the street.

"What? No, it wasn't." I answer for him. They look at me confused and this is actually really awkward.

"Don't tell Bree you saw me." I huff an walk away.

Devin's P.O.V.

Harry walks away angrily. I wonder what he's hiding from Bree. I can't imagine why Harry and Alex would meet up. I know that it was Alex he was talking to and as soon as I brought it up, he defended himself. Something's not right here, and I need to tell Bree.

"He was acting weird." Tony says leading me to his car. I nod and get in.

"I have to tell Bree.." I say softly.
