sweet as sugar, cold as ice

Chapter 15

Alex's pov

I woke up at 6am and decided to go to school today, I was bored and had nothing better to do, other then cry.

I put my uniform on and did my hair and makeup, I went down stairs and had my coco pops

"Ast, are you going to school?" "Uh yeah, do you need a lift?" He asked "yeah"

I climbed in the car and Aston pulled out of the driveway. "Louis said something happened with you and Alfie" Aston stated, but it came out more like a question, I ignored him "so are you going to tell me?" He asked and I just looked at him bluntly "fine, when you are ready to tell me, you do that." He huffed and I pulled my earphones out and plugged them into my phone and turned it up full blast, it seemed like the only thing that would drain all the pain away.

After what felt like hours, I felt a light tap on my shoulder I pulled one earphone out "what?" I asked "we are at school." Aston laughed, I turned my music off and climbed out of the car.

Louis' pov

Alfie and I decided to skip school today, I was raging with him though "you do realise you've ruined everything." I growled "well I was being practically forced to go out with her" he huffed "yes to get to styles, that's what you wanted wasn't it?" I made a point and he nodded "well then" I snarled.

*lunch time*

Alex's pov

I refused to sit with Nicole or Molly, they both new and didn't tell me.

"Alex!" I heard a familiar voice call from behind me, I turned on my heels "you can sit here if you want?" Harry asked I nodded and smiled the best I could and took the seat beside Harry "how are you?" He asked "fine" I lied "I know your not" he smirked "how?" I asked "well considering you got shot last week doesn't exactly help" he laughed "oh yeah, I need to talk to you" "about what?" He questioned "about what you said to me, whilst I was in the coma" his face fell at my words "y- you heard?" He stuttered "I heard everything." I looked down "where are we going to talk?" He asked "after school?" I asked "yeah"

*after school*

I walked down to my locker and Harry was leaning on it, I walked closer towards him, and someone walked right into me and elbowed my stomach, I screeched in pain, my stomach was already in pain from being shot, I almost fell to my knees, but Harry rushed over and caught me before I could "you okay?" He asked concern filling his eyes "yes, fine" I lied again "do you want to go for a walk?" Harry asked "uhm, sure" I smiled

We just walked for ages, "did you mean it?" I asked "mean what" "you know, what you said to me" I looked at him "uh, what happened with Alfie?" He changed the subject, and I struggled to hold my tears back "uh, nothing much" "tell me." His voice was low and intimidating "everything?" I questioned "everything" he confirmed "promise you won't tell." And I made him promise and he did. "They have this plan..." I trailed off and told him everything, from Nicole telling me this, to me walking in on Alfie and that other girl.

I couldn't hold the tears back any longer, the tears streamed down my face, I couldn't do this anymore, "hey don't cry" Harry tried to comfort me "I try not to, but it's just so much to take in" and that's when I began sobbing, and I never sob in front of anyone yet, I'm standing next to Harry sobbing my heart out, he pulled me into his chest and I sobbed even more, he played with my hair, I cried until there where no more tears to cry.
