Chapter 9

Alex's pov

*at school, at lunch*

I went to sit next to Rebecca but a voice from behind me distracted me "Alex!" I heard Molly's familiar voice shout "come sit with us!" Nicole shouted afterwards, I didn't want to be rude so I sat down next to them, anyway Rebecca was already sitting with someone, I don't really know who, I'm sure I'll find out though "hey" I smiled slightly "so, how are you and mr lover boy" Molly cheered loudly, and Harry turned around and growled, what for?, he turned back around and ate his food "who?" I asked "duhh, Alfie!" Nicole shouted just as loud as Molly "I, I don't think we are actually 'a thing'." I stated "no, yous have to go out, yous are like perfect for eachother!" Molly said "are we?" I questioned "uh, yeah" Nicole laughed "you like him right?" Molly asked "uh, yeah I guess" I answered quickly, just then Aston sat down next to me "hey girls" he smirked "what do you want" I asked knowing fine well he must have wanted something "do you have a spare tenner on you?" Aston asked "uh yeah" I shrugged "can I borrow it" he asked "hmm, let me think, no!" I shouted "aw please al!, I really need it, I owe someone fifty pound and I've only got forty, you don't want your big brother getting hurt do you?" Aston pleaded "you didn't do the same for 'your wee sister' when she got hurt did you?" I scoffed "Alex, I" he was lost for words "fine take it, I want it back though" I handed him the tenner he stood up "bye ladies" he winked, I huffed.

But Nicole was just staring and smiling at were Aston once stood "oh my god!" Molly shouted and I soon caught on "you, you like my brother don't you?" I asked quite shocked "n no, what makes you think that?" She replied nervously "oh Nicole, get over yourself it's the most obvious thing in the world!" Molly shouted

*after school*

I began to make my way to Astons car "Alex!" Rebecca shouted I turned around on my heels, that girl was with her again "hey, bex!" I shouted happy to see her "oh this is Gillian by the way" she explained "oh hey, nice to meet you" "so how have you been?" Rebecca asked "uh, yeah okay I suppose" I replied "oh god al!, what happened to your cheek?" She asked reaching out to touch it "yeah about that, I uh walked into a door" I laughed "your such an idiot!" She laughed, but on the inside I was crying just thinking about what happened I was snapped out of my thoughts by Aston beeping the car "hurry up!" He shouted "uh I better go, I would give you a lift but considering Astons on the opposite gang, it probably isn't a good idea" I giggled sarcastically "bye then" Rebecca laughed "bye!" Gillian shouted as we got further away from each other.

*in the car*

"Who was that?" Aston asked "my friends" I answered bluntly "and they are?" Aston made a face "Rebecca and Gillian" "and they are from?" He questioned "oh god, what is this twenty questions!, and does it really fucking matter!?" I shouted "well if they are from the west then yes it fucking matters!" He shouted back, I have to admit Astons pretty scary when he's angry, not like Harry though, he's scary almost constantly, but it's something about him that I just can't quite figure out, and it's eating away at me.

"Fine, yes they are!" I shouted back ignoring my thoughts "don't talk to them" Aston growled "I'll talk to who I fucking want, you can't decide what I can and cannot do!" I shouted and just as I did we pulled into our drive way and I got out and slammed the door "watch me" Aston muttered, I just ignored him though, god I fucking can't stand him right now.
