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

Chapter 9: Mac's Secret

Mac's POV:

I answered Alex's text quickly saying

TO: Alex
sorry I left, needed to go quick. Don't say anything but the real reason I didn't say anything was cuz' Harry told me not to. but that's all I'm gonna say sorry.

I really did feel bad about not telling her and keeping this a secret but I couldn't afford to find out if harry would do anything if I did. And if he would do anything, then what.

I remember what question Alex had asked me "why I didn't take her back to her flat or mine. and why I left her with Harry instead." in all honesty, I hated not being able to answer that question, because that was the same question I had asked Harry when he wouldn't let me take her back to her flat when I finished changing her. And I clearly remember everything he said to me like the back of my hand. It went like this...

*Flashback* (yesterday):

"Okay, there I finished covering her up. Can I take her home now, she needs her rest." I asked Harry from the inside if the bathroom that's inside his bedroom. okay seriously, this lads flat is HUGE!!!!

"NO! Leave her HERE!! She's safer with me. I can and will take care of her. just for a few more days at least." Harry said surprising me with his quick responce and tone of voice. He sounded so protective and very POSSESSIVE, I guess you can say about him. Since when did HARRY STYLES give a thought about Alex? I mean, just earlier this morning they were bickering to no end, so why does he suddenly care for her?!

I realized mouth was like a flipping waterfall that never stopped running, because I suddenly heard myself ask from out of the blue skies above "whoa! slow down tiger, why do you all of sudden care? weren't you the one who showed no emotion towards her this morning what so ever? Why must she stay with you NOW?" I suddenly regretted asking that question for a second, for Harry's eyes changed to the scariest shade of green I had ever seen in my life LITERALLY!

"YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I  SUDDENLY CARE SO DARN MUCH ALL OF A SUDDEN?!  ITS BECAUSE I LOVE HER, OKAY ANF I CANT BARE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING TO HER WITHOUT FEELING LIKE ROADKILL! I JUST NEED TO PROTECT HER AND MAKE HER SEE HOW MUCH I NEED HER, AND HOW MUCH I NEED HER TO BE MI-" he stopped talking suddenly as if he just realized what he was saying. It surprised the both of us, and neither one of us ever even thought he could feel that way about ANYONE but I guess Alex had changed that without even trying.

As much as I want Alex to be loved and happy, I still don't completely trust Harry. Considering the fact that his bad reputation is known all over all over the school and I don't want Alex to be his next target. I was ripped out of my thoughts completely when Harry said "look you can't tell this to Alex. Keep this between us."

I decided to tease a little, but not too much. So with an evil smirk, I said "why? What happens if I just 'accidently' let it slip?" I used air quotes around my words to upset him more. And it worked. "I swear, if you say this to Alex, I'll find out. And so help me Mac, I will-" he didn't get a chance to finish, for Alex let out a small flinch. She was waking up.

"You better go. Don't worry, she's safe here. I promise." Harry softening his voice a little, so he won't wake Alex up I suppose. I thought about it a few seconds and finally nodded. "I hope so." I whispered loud enough only for me to hear. I was referring to his comment just now about him promising that Alex was safe here with him. I really hope he's not lying.

But with that, I left and promised I wouldn't tell Alex Harry's dirty little secret. But not for Harry's sake, but for Alex's.

*End of Flashback*

Harry's POV:

I was on my back, on my bed just dumbly staring up at the ceiling whilst Mac and Alex spoke down stairs. I thought over and over about what I had accidently said about Alex. In all honesty, I didn't really LIE to her, but I don't know if what I feel is eally 'love' or just my brotherly instinct.

No, it can't be no 'brotherly instinct' if I want her to be mine, and only mine. Wow haz', can you say 'possesive'? I mean, I have to protect her, but it's also because I need her to be mine. I need her to need me, and in order for that to happen, I need her to see that she needs me. But that's really gonna be difficult, I mean, why would she need me? She is nothing like the other girls I have been with. Alex does nothing wrong. Alex is innocent..

As I battled in my mind on whether or not I have feelings for her, I heard the front door open adn close quickly, making me jump slightly. I worriedly came close to my window to see who just left, but hid a little so they wouldn't see me just in case.

I surprised to see Mac leave and ONLY Mac. I would have thought Alex had complained about staying here and how she hated me like no tomorrow and Mac would have taken her home or something, but Mac was the only one left. Which means... Alex is still HERE!? I don't know why but I was super surprised to realize that, but whatever.

Just as I was about to go downstairs to "check on Alex", there was a faint knock on my bedroom door, followed by Alex's soft voice saying "hey harry um... Mac just left. You can come out now... I-If you want to..." I laughed to myself as she said her last sentence. She was so cute when she's nervous. I waited a few seconds after I heard her footsteps disappear, and decided to go back downstairs too.

When I  reached the end of the staircase I was completely baffled to see exactly what I hoped I wouldn't... Alex was not in the living room and there was no sign of her, as if she weren't even in here what so ever. I was in the living room of my flat....

Completely... ALONE
