Chapter 6

Alex's pov

I just ran and ran, I had no clue where I was, but I eventually found a familiar street, and from there I found my way home.

I opened my front door Aston was already there and dad "where have you been!?" My dad asked furiously "n nowhere" I answered nervously "I knew you wouldn't tell the truth!" My dad screamed, Aston must have told him "going to a west end party, with a Styles then lying about it!" He screamed in my face "I, I" I couldn't even speak because his fist collided with my face and I fell to the floor "bitch." He scoffed, I began to cry he kicked me in the stomach and stormed upstairs, and to my surprise Aston just stood and watched I quickly stood to my feet "I'm sorry, al, I didn't know he was going too-" I cut him off "save it Aston!, your supposed to be my brother and you just stood there and watched!" I screamed and ran up stairs and into my room and slammed the door

*one hour later*

Where dad had hit me, it had bruised deeply already, I hate my life.

I decided to go for a jog to take my mind off of things.

*half an hour later*

I had been jogging for a while now, not realising how far I had actually come, shit, I was on the west side

"Hey Alex! Wait" I heard Harry's husky voice from behind me as I turned round his face flashed a look of concern "hey" I replied, "what the fuck happened to your face!" Harry asked clearly getting a bit angry, what do I say, if I tell him it was my dad, he'll probably kill him, shit "I um, I walked into a door" I said nervously, Harry didn't look to convinced "really?" He questioned "um, yeah" he still didn't believe me, but took the hint that I clearly wanted to drop the subject, "do you want a lift home?" Harry asked politely "no it's fine." "Seriously, lex, it's getting dark, I don't want you walking home yourself, especially round this side of town." I knew there was no point in arguing with him anymore "fine"

*in Harry's car*

"Alex?" Harry asked "yeah?" "I know you didn't really walk into a door" he told me, shit, I just stayed silent unsure what to say next "I will find out" Harry stated firmly.

We then pulled up outside my house I quickly got out, Harry rolled down the window "bye lex!" He shouted "don't call me that, Harry!" I shouted and went upstairs to my room.
