•Alex

I can't believe that first of all he'd come here drunk and second of all he'd even think about touching Stephen.

A high pitched scream left my mouth as Gabe led me over to Ken and I cowered into his lap. Then all I heard were punches being thrown. The worst sound you could ever hear.

I peaked my head up to see if Gabe was helping. Harry was on top of Stephen punching and he was trying to block he throws but Harry kept finding ways around them. Gabe stepped in and pried Harry off Stephen and held him back. I knew I had to do something or else he'd never leave. I slowly stood up. I worked up the courage to walk over to him.

"Harry... why?" I pray the tears won't win this round. Gabe lets him go. He stumbles back but catches himself.

"I know... I know I'm the biggest asshole in the world. You'll probably never ever forgive me, but let me try to explain. I don't know what got into me. With all the things going on in my head I just- I wasn't thinking... kind of like I'm doing right now. I promise on my life that I will protect you and care for you and most of all, love you."

I can tell he's sobered up by now. Maybe a few punches to the jaw cleared his mind. I don't really know if I can trust him again, especially after his rage in my home.

"Gabe, I'm going to go help clean Harry up in the bathroom." He gives me a 'are you sure' look and I nod. I walk upstairs and he follows.

After we are in the bathroom and I get all of he supplies out and shut the door. I brake the silence- and by breaking it, I mean by bursting into tears. I slide my back down the wall until I hit the ground. I feel Harry's hands rubbing circles in my back. I hate that he has a calming effect on me. I'm not supposed to want him near me right now, but I can't help it.

This is the Harry I love, not the drunk or raging Harry. The kind and caring Harry I fell in love with.

"I am teased at school, I have no family, my best friend was shit and killed because of me, and you just came into my house and tried to hurt my friend. I don't see why I can't just have a normal life."

"If you were normal... well, where's the fun in that?"

"I'm serious. I need you, if you even want you. I'm very weak when it comes to you and I can't figure out why."

"It's because you're in love. We- when're in love Alex."

I know we are. If it were anyone else, I'd have left a long time ago. I just can't do it without him.

"I am. I'm so truly, madly, deeply in love with you. I can't... resist you."

"I'm in love with you too Alex. I am. I'd do anything for you. I'm so sorry... for everything I've said and- for what I just did downstairs. I'm lost without you."

"I am too." His expression changed and he smiled.

"Please... just one more chance?" I had never seen him like this. The wet eyes, the sniffling, the pleading eyes.

"I can't be without you, Harry," His head perked up and he placed his hands on my cheeks.

"I love you so much." He leaned in to kiss me. I leaned in. That feeling in my stomach returned. I hadn't felt that in a while. I missed it.

"I love you too." We stay like this for a few minutes, then we stood up so I could clean the blood off his lip and eyebrow.

After I clean him up we go back downstairs and explain everything to the guys.

"I promise to never do anything to hurt Alex. I'm so sorry for this whole mess." Harry meant every word he said. Gabe looked worried.

"I know you won't. Cause next time I'll beat the living shit out of you." Gabe said with a evil smile. I knew he was joking, but also wasn't.

Just as Harry was about to go out the door my brother stopped to tell him something I couldn't hear.

It's probably another threat just to keep him in check.

•Gabe

I'm really suspicious about him. I've always protected my sister from everything there is to protect a person from. If he fucks this up, it'll be the last thing he does.

"Wait," I say just as he's at the door. He turns around.

"Don't you dare break her, or I'll break you... fucking got it?"

He looked into my eyes and shook his head up and down, then turned and walked down the driveway.
