I Think I'm In Love... With My Music Partner!? (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8: Explanations... With Hidden Secrets?

Alex's POV:

 Where is she styles?! You told me she was here and awake, where the heck is she?!" I heard my friend Mac's worried sounding voice ask/scream at Harry. Right now I was up stairs changing into a pair of boxer shorts, and a t-shirt that Harry leant me. I was just about finished putting his shirt on when Harry burst through the doors like a mad man. "Hey can you please hurry up and come down stairs. Your friend is really starting to tick me off with all these questions." he asked rushing his words in order to rush me. I wasn't in the mood to argure though, so I just simply nodded and said "ya just tell her I'll be down in a secod." Harry didn't respond, he just stood there staring at me. And right when I was about to say something, he truned around and bluntly said "okay, and by the way Alex, you look good in my clothes." "U-Um thanks, thank-you, I guess" Iresponded a little confussed as to what to respond to or tf I should respond at all. He chuckled, YET AGAIN sending those stupid shivers down my back. Why must he do this to me? He ripped me out of my thoughts when he said "ir was a compliment vave, dont worry."

I felt my cheeks turn a dark shade of red as a smile formed lightly upon my lips. He gave one more glance at me, and finally walked out of the room. Thank God.

I decided to wait a few seconds before following Harry's actions of walking out of the room. As I cautiously made my way down a few steps, my presence must have become more visible, because I saw the worried look on Mac's face quickly disappear, and turn into a look of relief.

"OH MY GOD ALEX, THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY!!!" Mac screamed as she excitedly waited at the end of the stairs for me to step down the final step. "See Mac, I told you she was here." Harry commented, giving a knowing smirk. Both Mac and I turned out heads to face him, and I realized that Mac the exact same look on her face that I had when Harry said something stupid or unnecessary to me in front of her. The only difference was, that instead of me having that same 'what the feak' look, I let out a small giggle and blushed.

I was suddnely ripped out of my thoughts when Mac rudely exclaimed "SHUT THE FLIP UP STYLES, I WAS WORRIED OKAY?! WHAT YOU EXPECT? I DIN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS, OR WHO SHE WAS WITH!" Harry gave her an emotionless look, like what she said and how she said it didnt' even phase him a little bit. He glanced over at me, and watched as I had still been laughing on the inside. A small smirk grew upon his face as soon as I realized that our eyes had met the minute he glanced at me. My breath hitched in my throat after a few more seconds of still staring, and I finallly looked away as quick as I could.

Well, I'm gonna leave you guys to um... you know... catching up. I'll be in the room so call me if  you guys need anything." Harry finally said with the emotionless tone in his voice again. The smile he had even though it was small, the smile he had on his face had dissapppeared comepletely leaving his emotionless slef come back to reality.

He started walking towards the staircase to make his way up to his room, but I couldn't let him leave without an apoligy at least. So right before he left and was completely out of sight my mouth was moving faster than my brain was functioning as I quickly said "hey harry, thanks again. For everything.... Really." Instead of a smile of somekind on his face, he stood emotionless and just nodded once and with that, he just kept escalating the stairs until he was invisible.

(Time Skip)

Once he left, Mac let out a straight sigh of relief, as she finally sat down on the couch and I sat next to her. We stayed in utter silence for a few minutes, you litterally heard nothing except our breathing. I finally decided to break the silence by asking the question in which I have been dying to get a truthful answer to.So without thinking twice, I immediately said "hey, so ummm,,, what exactly happened when Harry found me, in my umm... condition?" Hearing the words just come out of my mouth made a lump form in my throat and tears rise up in my eyes, I really wanted to cry just by hearing the words, whether it came out of my mouth or someone else's. I decided just to shake the tears, feelings, and thoughts out of my mind for the remainder of the time that Mac was here. Then I realized she was looking for either the right words or answer to say and give me.

After a couple of minutes of thinking and staying frozen, Mac finally decided to clear her throat and speak, but the minute she opened her mouth just to speak the first word, my muscles locked, my breath, hitched in my throat, and basically my entire body tensed. I was nervous as hell, but I was desperate for the truth.

"Well once he found and saw your... condition, it's pretty obvious that he immediately knocked the stuff out of Blake. After that he got you in his arms, and was completely out of the schools visible area. He quickly texted me like I told him to, and he said he was taking you to his flat. I didn't care that I was in the middle of class, I got up as fast as I could and once he gave me his address, I got here as quickly as possible and got you changed into the first things that Harry gave me. Once I felt like it was safe for me to go, I left you with him, but I made sure that the entire time you were here, I checked up on you. So I called and texted Harry the entire time just asking if you were awake and living and I promise that's ALL we spoke about, and nothing else." Mac explained everything to me, from the minute he found me, to the minute he whooped Blake's tail, to taking me to his flat and- wait! Harry kept me at his house, Mac could have easily taken me to her house, but instead she left me with him... WHY?

"Hey Mac, can I ask you one more question real quick?" I asked a little more nervous that she would get upet at the fact that I was questioning her "as if she were on trial" or something. Her eyes became full of concern again telling me that she noticed the nervousness in my eyes and the nervous sound in my voice when I spoke. "Of course girl. You can tell me anything, and you know that... why, what's wrong?" She said in the most friendlyist yet concerned voice as possible. I took a few seconds to breathe, that way I could calmly ask what I needed to ask, I don't know why I'm so nervous. Oh wait, now I remember, it's because I got knocked out AND raped by a complete stranger, the nthe guy I hated the most saved me and kicked the guys butt. Then, the guy who saved me kept me at his house while I was uncautious, and my best friend left me there afterwards. And this all happended on only me second day of school! I shook myself out of my thoughts and built up enough strength to finally ask... "Once you finished changing me, why did you still leave me? Why didn't you take me back to my house, or your's? Why here?" I asked in the most politest way possible. I didn't want to off as rude or witchy, I just really needed an answer.

Mac stayed silent a few minutes, and before she opended her mouth, she made a quick glance over to the upstairs room that I had been sleeping in this afternoon. Harry's room.

Does Harry have something or anything to do with the reason I stayed here? "Actually, he does." Mac said only in a low enough whisper for me to hear. I forgot, sometimes I think aloud. Maybe that's what I did.

I looked over at Mac who now was looking at her lap. Apparently her hands and lap became very interesting or something, because she seemed to be dodging the question completely just to play with her hands. "What?" I asked acting like I didn't hear what she said and where she had looked to before saying it. I knew I was snapped her out of her thoughts just by the way she suddenly looked up at me. My eyes widened a little as I suddenly started repeating my question to her. She acted like something inside cliqued with what I just finished saying as she immediately said "ohh". But what surprised me the most was that she got up immediately and instead of considering my question, she looked back over at the room and said "I gotta go" in a rushed tone. And with that, she rushed out of the door like no tomorrow.

 Well that was weird. I wonder what was so important that she had to jet like that. I decided that it was best if I texted her what was up. So I texted her saying...

TO: Mac

Hey, you never got a chance to answer my question on why. Is everything okay? What's wrong?

I waited a little bit before finally seeing my phone vibrate from underneath me and light up, showing that she had responded. The text said...

TO: Alex

Sorry I left, needed to go quick. Don't say anything, but the real reason I didn't say anything was because... Harry told me not to. But that's all I'm gonna say. Sorry

Wowwww! Out of all the people I thought would have either lied or kept a secret this big from me, Mac was definitely NOT one of them. But, if I'm not gonna get an answer out of Mac, than I'm gonna go to the next person who popped in my head... HARRY STYLES

A/N: WOW RIGHT?! WHAT DID YOU THINK? SORRY IF THIS CHAPTER WAS A LITTLE BORING TO YOU, I'LL TRY MAKING IT BETTER
