sweet as sugar, cold as ice

Chapter 7

Alex's pov

It was Saturday, no school which was of course a good thing.

"Al?" I heard Aston call whilst knocking on my bedroom door "go away" I warned him but he walked in anyway "dad says me and you have to go to Louis place to hang out." Aston told me "I don't give a shit" I snarled still annoyed of what had happened last night "you have too." Aston warned with his voice deep "why?, I don't give two shits about any of these stupid gangs, it's fucking pathetic, as I have told you all a million times already." I muttered "whatever, but dad will get angry." He warned whilst walking out of my bedroom door "wait" I called out "fine, I'll go."

I took a shower and straightened my hair and put makeup on, it was the middle of winter and like two degrees outside so I put jeans, ugg boots, a winter jumper and my leather jacket on, I walked down the stairs to Astons room and barged in not really caring what he was going to say "move, I want this over and done with." I moaned "grumpy." Aston muttered "your fault." I growled

We walked down stairs "bye aunt sarah" I said politely "bye doll" she smiled, which soon faded as she noticed the deep bruise on my cheek "oh, what happened to your cheek?" She asked "oh I, I em walked into a door" I lied, I was a terrible liar sometimes, but if I really wanted to be a good one I could "oh, be careful next time" she laughed.

Aston and I climbed into his car to go to Louis' even though it was only a few streets away, but Aston wanted to take his car, the car ride was awkward and I just stared out of the window the whole time.

We arrived at Louis' house and it seemed everyone was already there considering all of there cars were outside.

As soon as we walked in the door Molly ran up and wrapped her arms around me "it's so great to see you!" She squealed "yeah you too" I kinda half lied. Aston, Molly and I walked through to the livingroom and sat down, there was another boy there that I didn't recognise "oh Alex, this is Alfie." Nicole explained, "oh hi" I said shyly "hiya cheeky" she smirked "I heard about you at styles party" he laughed "uh yeah, he's not even that bad" I admitted honestly "Alex, you clearly don't understand do you!" Louis shouted "I don't get why I can't speak to people from my school just because they're from the other side of town!" I shouted back "don't you get it?, your one of us and he's one of them, along with your new pal" wait how did he know about Rebecca? "Who, Rebecca?" I asked "yeah, her" he muttered "how did you even know about her?" I asked confused "that's for me to know and you to find out" he smirked, Louis is so fucking annoying! I took a seat next to this 'Alfie' and Molly "oh my god Alex!, I didn't even notice at first, what the fuck happened to your face?" She asked concerned "oh I eh walked into a door" I told her, I've told this lie so many times and I still can't say it convincingly, how annoying! "Oh, your such an idiot!" Molly laughed "I agree" Louis muttered "whatever"

*3 hrs later*

Louis had given everyone alcohol and I was a wee bit drunk, I walked into the kitchen to get another drink when someone's hand on my waist spun me round and I gasped "oh god Alfie, you can't just go and grab people bye the waist!" I shouted jokingly "I think you've had enough, Alex" he stated and I sat on the worktop "aw, I was having fun though" I giggled just then Alfie crashed his lips onto mine, and to my surprise I kissed back.

Louis pov

Molly and I were walking into the kitchen but we both stopped as we saw Alex and Alfie kissing "so what is the point in this whole 'Alfie plan'?" Molly asked "uh Molly duh, it's to make Alex fall for Alfie, to take her mind off and keep her away from styles" I pointed out "right I get it now, that's quite smart actually" she looked at me "but I need you too act like her best friend more than you are" I told, her "but Lou, I'm trying my best" she told me, our lips now centimetres apart "your not mol, I've seen you do better." I stated "okay okay, I'll try" she gave in and our lips smacked against eachother

Harry's pov

"Harry?" Zayn asked "are you listening?" "No, what did you say?" I asked "I said, I think you should stay away from Alex" he told me and my heart started beating faster at the mention of her name "why, and that's not going to happen" I stated firmly "well it's dangerous for her, and we all know what happened to Caroline" "that was different, I didn't care about Caroline the way I care about her" I spoke "well I'm just saying, I don't want it to be your fault she gets hurt" Zayn said "but most of the time it won't be, it will be her brothers" Zayn looked confused "why?" He said lighting a cigarette "because, Alex is the person Aston cares about most" I said grabbing the lighter from zayns hand and lighting my cigarette "right, but still sometimes it could be your fault, like that bruise you told me about" Zayn said, I know that she didn't walk into a door, and when I find out who did it there fucking dead "she said she walked into a door" I told Zayn "and did she?" He replied "no, and when I find out who it was" I looked at Zayn angrily "wow, mate you just like her" Zayn looked shocked "i do, I really do" I told him.
