Chapter 17

Alex's pov

I'm still so shocked about Alfie's death, who did it, it must be Harry, it had to be, but something's telling me that it wasn't him.

"You ready?" Aston asked "I- I don't know" I stuttered "what do you mean?, you either are or your not" he was getting impatient "shut up Aston! After what happened the other night, and you just abandoned me and let it happen again, you have no right to speak to me like that!" I spat "are you okay?" He asked "what do you mean" "your, your shaking" he came over and sat me down on the couch, I hadn't even realised my whole body was trembling "Alfie.." I trailed off "Alfie what?" He asked concerned "he's dead" i said so quiet it was almost a whisper "seriously, are you joking cause if you are, it's a really sick one!" He shouted "no! I'm not it was on the news, somebody stabbed him to death!" I shouted in defense "I don't believe this..." He muttered.

"Forget about it let's go" he began walking out of the door and I followed.

"You said this wouldn't happen again" I said nearly crying "what" he looked at me with his hands still on the steering wheel "this whole thing with dad! You let it happen again! Your meant to be my brother Aston, you've changed so much since you got into gangs" I screamed "I have not changed" "yes you have Aston! Honestly I don't even recognise you anymore!" Once I shouted that we arrived at school I got out of the car and slammed the door.

*lunch time*

I had just gotten my food and went to sit next to Rebecca and Gillian, when a hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around "hey" he smiled "don't touch me Harry, I know what you did" I spat "what?" He asked confused "Alfie, you killed him, it's all over the news" I whispered "I didn't do it" he growled "yeah right" I muttered "Alex, seriously I. Didn't. Do . It." He said so seriously it sent chills through my body "who did then?" I asked "I- I don't know" he stuttered, "I'll talk to you later, Harry" and he stormed away, I sat down next to Gillian and Rebecca "hey"

Molly's pov

"Shit!" I half shouted "what?" Nicole asked "she's sitting with them!" "Oh, god, we need to get her away or Louis will kill us" "I know

We walked over to their table "hey, Alex" I smiled "hey" she smiled back "do you wanna come sit with us or go somewhere. With us?" I asked "no it's fine." She smiled and began talking to Gillian again "aw please, we haven't hung out in ages" I pleaded ".no, I'm fine here" she smiled again "oh c'mon" I said, lightly grabbing her wrist she snatched it away, "I'm. Fine. Here" she practically growled, I just smiled and walked away "shit" I muttered.

"So, do you wanna hang out with us after school?" Rebecca asked, I kinda half did, but the other half just wanted to do it to annoy Aston "yeah sure" I smiled "were are we going to go?" I asked curiously "aw, just zayns house" she smiled back "oh okay"

Zayns house, I can talk to Harry, and see if he actually did kill Alfie or not...
