Broken Glass

Nineteen part two

Alec pulled me toward him, and began leading me in to a dance. "What do you want?" I spat with venom laced in my voice. Sadness pooled in Alec's eyes as he looked at me in shock clearly not expecting that reaction.

Grabbing my chin between two fingers he lifted my head forcing me to look into his eyes "I'm sorry." He told with glossy eyes. I shook my head willing myself not to cry.

"You can't just say that and expect everything to be fine." I shook my head at him "Why couldn't you have explained it to me?" I begged hearing the crack in my voice. I tried to pull away, but his hand caught my elbow and pulled me closer to him. My eyes fluttered closed as he pushed a piece of hair behind my ear, I felt his thumb swipe under my eyes. "It was too hard baby." He whispered, his lips agonisingly close to mine. "I knew that if I saw or even spoke to you, I would ditch my plans in an instant." His lips grazed mine, I whimpered at the feeling of his lips against mine.

"Alec you have a girlfriend!" I snapped in annoyance ripping myself away from him, catching the attention of a few people around us. Pulling me back toward him, he furrowed his brows as he began guiding the dance again "I don't have a girlfriend." Glancing over at the girl he came with I rolled my eyes "Well who's that?" Following the direction of my eyes, Alec caught sight of the girl giving her a wave before letting out a chuckle. I watched in jealousy.

"She's my sister." My whole body stilled as I looked at Alec in shock. Sister? Alec doesn't have a sister. "My dad had a daughter with one of his wives and never told me." He explained with a sarcastic laugh, before spinning me under his arm, shaking his head at the typical behaviour of Jeremy. My  jaw dropped in shock and my thoughts suddenly drifted to Lisa, I wondered how she took the news. "We don't really get along, my dad's trying to force us to though." Alec laughed pulling me out of my thoughts.

I felt my face heat up as I realised that I had been jealous of Alec's sister. He smirked in a taunting way as though he knew what I was thinking.

"I'm coming home." Alec blurted out, surprising me, I almost fell over but his arms steadied me against his chest "My moms gone to rehab." A beautiful smile spread across his face. "I just told your mom." I looked around the room trying to find my mom. Taking a step back I looked at him in surprise, overwhelmed from all of this information he was blurting out at me.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Alec looked into my eyes holding a hand out to me. How does he always know what I'm thinking? Nodding I grabbed his hand, letting him lead the way.

"A park?" I giggled looking at Alec in disbelief, he shrugged and laughed. Slipping off my shoes, I picked them up, using my other hand to lift my dress so I could run over to the best swing. I laughed hearing Alec's footsteps behind me.

"I'm so happy your moms in rehab." I smiled as me and Alec swung gently on the swings, he smiled in reply his eyes focused on the floor. "But I'm still mad at you!"

"I-"

"Let me speak!" I cut in "I've dealt with your parents my whole life!" I emphasised each word "I've been by your side through it all. I'm 18 years old you don't get to decide that I can't handle it." I placed my hand against my chest "You shouldn't have had to deal with that alone, and despite all of that why couldn't you have told me. I know I wouldn't tried to stop you, but at least I would've known you were ok. I thought you were dead," I paused shaking my head when he tried to comfort me "and then when I found out you were ok, I thought you hated me, I thought I did something wrong." Holding my fingers up to eyes, I wiped away the tears as a sob threatened to escape "Why wouldn't you speak to me?"

Scrambling to his feet, Alec pulled me up and pulled me into his chest. "I'm so so sorry baby girl." He whispered running his hand up and down my back, I placed my head into the crook of his neck sobbing into his shoulder. "I didn't know what to say, the hardest part was leaving you, I knew if I spoke to you I'd have came home, and I wanted your life to be better than them." Alec's tears spilled onto my bare shoulder as he began crying.

"So if you mom didn't go to rehab would you still be staying with them?" I asked my voice weak. Alec let out a sigh and I felt his head nod gently. "Baby, I didn't want you to have to deal with them. I know you feel the same way, I know you didn't want me to go through this alone," he sighed "I just wanted better for you, I saw how much it terrified and stressed out you and your mom." He shook his head and sighed. "I thought I was doing the right thing."

"I'm sorry." He added again. Taking a deep breath I nodded I ran my fingers through his hair "I forgive you." I told him.

"So you're coming home?" I smiled after the both of us calmed down. Alec nodded pulling me into another, more excited hug this time, and spinning me around in the air, causing me to let out a scream.

"Wait," he stepped back "are you dating Taylor?" His brows furrowed as pain spread across his features. I sighed "I kind of was, because I wanted to get over you I thought you didn't care about me," I explained, both of us looking at each other sadly. He nodded in understanding, closing his eyes and running his fingers through his hair in agitation "He told me he knows I like you. He kissed me to make you jealous." I giggled, causing Alec to squint his eyes at me before letting out a chuckle before pulling me closer to him.

"Do you know you broke your promise?" He asked, his lips resting against mine. My eyes starred into his, begging for him to kiss me. "You said you'd never kiss anyone that wasn't me again." He let out a low growl which caused me insides to bubble.

Composing myself I tutted at him "Well maybe if you didn't leave I wouldn't have." I scolded him jokingly causing him to laugh. "Besides," I added "You never asked me to be your girlfriend."

Grinning at me, Alec nodded humming to himself, before squeezing my hips gently "Will you be my girlfriend? I need you all to myself?" He asked hopefully, his eyes darkening. Happiness seeped through my pores. Smiling at Alec's grin, I wrapped my hands around his neck pulling him into a kiss. "Yes."
