Alex's pov

"So what are you going to do about all of this?" Harry asked "well I've been pretending to Louis and the others I don't know anything so-" I was cut off "so you'll get close to them and break them one by one from the inside out?" Harry asked "uh, yeah" I said quite surprised that he knew what I was thinking "I'll help" he smirked "by doing what exactly, my brother or my dad won't let me anywhere near you" I huffed "don't you worry, lex, let me deal with it" he winked "do you need a lift home?" "Yeah if that's okay"

*in Alex's house*

I walked in the front door, and got pelted with questions from Aston, "where, were you?" He asked annoyed "uh,I was out" I lied "with who?" "Uh some friends" I replied "what friends?" "Eh well...." I trailed off "you were with styles weren't you" he stood up.

"Who was with styles?" My dads voice was booming as he stepped into the livingroom, we both looked at him unsure what to say "Alex, were you with styles?" He raised his voice "I-" "you were weren't you!, what have I told you!, he's one of them!" He stepped closer and closer, Aston ran upstairs, how could he do this, again?! "I- I just don't understand, they are still human" I looked into his eyes, they were boiling with anger "what? They may aswell be monsters!!" He screamed close to my face, I felt tears form at the corner of my eyes, I looked down "look at me!" He shouted, I couldn't look, I was terrified.

I slowly turned to walk away, but he grabbed my wrists and turned me back around.

I delta pain in my stomach and fell to my knees, he slapped me in the face and left the room, my lip was bleeding and my stomach was in pain, much more pain than it should've been because of the shooting, I climbed to my feet and ran to my room.

Molly's pov

I was sitting in Louis' with Nicole and Alfie, Louis was really annoyed at Alfie "you have to get her back!" He shouted "no, she's a bitch I don't like her in anyway!" Alfie stood up to Louis "you've ruined everything, and if you don't sort it, I will." He threatened

*the next morning*

Alex's pov

I woke up at five and couldn't sleep, so I decided to get up and get ready, I had loads of Time left so I turned the tv on.

There wasn't much on considering it was like 5.30am so I just watched the news.

"Breaking news!" The news reporter practically shouted "a teenager from east London has been stabbed to death, he goes by the name of Alfie Moore." I dropped my glass of orange juice, and let it fall to the floor and smash, what? Alfie? Dead? "His wounded body was found on a small alley way in east London, it is most likely to be a gang murder-" the news reporter went on, but I wasn't listening, I couldn't stop thinking about it, he was murdered, stabbed to death, who would want to get back at Alfie?

Harry.
