The Styles Triplets

Chapter 27

"Well that was interesting." Marcel smirked as he pulled up his pants.

"I swear if Harry heard-"

"He didn't, he's so oblivious. Plus you were pretty good at keeping quiet."

"I kind of had to be." I replied sarcastically, grabbing my shirt.

"I love you." He smiled and kissed up my neck to my lips.

"And I love you." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"So what do you think Harry was talking about? That whole John thing? I mean I get the concept but John is an idiot, I'm sure it's nothing." Marcel asked.

"I don't know." I lied, "He's just worried about you."

"I know but I can take care of myself." He stated.

"Babe, just because your whole attitude about things have changed doesn't mean you can take on John." I answered, "You're still Marcel."

"What's that suppose to mean? That I'm still Marcel." He asked, sitting down.

"Nothing. I'm just saying-"

"That I'm still a loser no matter what?"

"No, no. That's not what I meant!" I tried to explain, "It's just you-"

"Can't handle anything myself?"

"Marcel!" I snapped, "Let me finish my sentence!"

"Maybe you should just go." He said, getting up and unlocking the door.

"Marce, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you." I apologized.

"Just go, Alex. It's been a long day already."

I nodded, "Fine..."
After I got myself together, I stood up and walked to Marcel.
"Bye. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Maybe."

I pressed my lips to his cheek, then pulled away and touched his shoulder.

"I heard yelling, is everything okay?" Harry asked as I came down the stairs and into the living room.

"Yeah, I'm just going to go." I answered and gave a weak smile, "I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah, see ya!" He smiled and hugged me before I left.

I got about halfway down the driveway when I realized...Marcel drove me and I don't have a car.
Shit.

"Haz..." I started to say as I came back into the house.

"You need a ride, I'll get my keys." Harry smirked and then came to join me outside.

As I laid in my bed I couldn't help but thing of John.
Why is he doing this? How could someone be so...so rude? I just don't understand.

Harry's words echoed through my mind, "Face it, Marcel is the weak link. Without Edward and I around, he's helpless."

Is it coincidental that both Edward AND Harry somehow ended up getting kicked out of school? Is it?
That's when I realized.
Sitting straight up in my bed, I covered my mouth, "Oh my god."

It's not a coincidence. This was all because of John. John is the one who planted the drugs in Edwards bag. John got Edward sent to jail. John provoked Harry. John got Harry suspended. It all makes sense now. He's getting rid of the brothers so it can just be him and Marcel, and he can really hurt him.

I have to warn Harry! No, I have to warn Marcel!

---

"Pick up, god damn!" I groaned at my phone. I've been trying to call Marcel but he hasn't answered. He's not still mad is he?

"Ugh!" I grunted and hung up.

I guess I'll have to talk to him tomorrow. Great.

"No way hun, you're not going to school." Mom said as she pulled out the thermometer that was placed in my mouth. "You have a fever."

"Mom no! I have to go to school!" I stated.
I have to warn Marcel!

"You're not going and that's final. I'll stay home from work with you."

Fuck. Mother fuck. This is just wonderful. "But Marcel should be here to pick me-"

"I already called and said you're not feeling well." She interrupted.

"I feel fine!" I exclaimed.

"That's enough, no more complaining. I'm going to go make you breakfast." She said, then left my room.

After she left, I called Harry immediately.
"Alex? Is everything okay?"

"No! Harry, you have to go get Marcel from school." I told him.

"Why? What's wrong?!" He asked worried.

"I think John planted those drugs in Edwards bag." I explained, "He got you suspended too, Harry. I think this was his plan all along. So he-"

"So he could get Marcel alone." He finished for me, "I'm on my way right now. Call you later."

"Who was that?" My mom asked as she came back into my room with breakfast.

"Just Harry." I answered.

"Oh okay, what did he want?"

"Oh nothing, I called him. I just had to tell him something."
She's so nosy sometimes.

"Ohhh okay. I made you some eggs." She smiled and set the plate down for me, "I'll be down stairs if you need me."

This is going to be a loooong day.

---

I woke up to my phone vibrating violently next to me! Quickly, I picked it up. "Hello?"

"Alex," it was Harry, "I didn't get to Marcel in time."

"W-what?!"

"When I got there, John was beating the shit out of him." He explained.

I felt my eyes start to sting, "Is he hurt bad?"

It got silent for a while over the line. "Harry. Answer me."

"It's fine, Alex. He'll be alright."

"You're lying."

"...Alex."

"Harry, you're lying to me! Don't you lie!"

"It's not looking good." He admitted.

"I'm coming over." I stated, sitting up.

"No, Alex-"

"See you in a few." I replied quickly and hung up.

I through on some pajama pants, slipped on some shoes, and headed downstairs.

"Alex?" My mom stood up and came to me, "Is everything okay?"

"No, I need to see Marcel." I told her.

My mom but her cheek, "I don't think that's a very good idea."

"I don't care what you say, I'm going." I snapped.

Mom stared me down for quite some time before she said, "The keys are on the counter."
