Who Won The Girl (Harry Styles)

Chapter 45

[Alexis' P.O.V]

I drag myself out of bed to shower, events of last night flooding into my mind. Surprisingly, I barely over thought things last night- I was too exhausted. I fell asleep as soon as my head touched my pillow, but all of it backfired this morning. 

I don't regret Ross coming in to my life, at all. If anything, I'm happy. I feel like my thoughts are psychotic as I shampoo my hair. It doesn't even make sense to me but I feel like he brought some adventure into Harry and I's relationship, we now know how strong it is. Despite that, I still strongly dislike him- to thinK in such an evil way clearly wasn't normal and I'm scared for him.

I step out of the steamy bathroom with a towel around my body and I automatically sit on the edge of the bed and check through my phone. 

Found my phone..a little late? A text from Harry reads and I shake my head, a smile playing on my lips. 

Just a litte. What happened last night when you got home? I send. Curiosity gets the best of me. 

I'll tell you in school later. We're asking Molly, remember? He replies and I sigh. I wasn't looking forward to any sort of truth, really.

''Morning,'' My mum chirps. 

''Why are you so happy?'' I grumble as I pour the cereal into the bowl. 

''Why are you so grumpy?'' She asks in the same tone. 

Oh, I don't know. The fact that both of my siblings hate me to death and you still don't know anything. I still don't know who even did this to me. 

''Nothing,'' I go with the shorter answer. 

''Date with Dave went great last night thanks for asking.'' She clasps her hands together. I force a smile at her as she slips toast into the toaster. 

''Happy for you.'' I mumble. At least things are working out for you.

''Yeah. I'm not buying it.'' Her smile fades and she takes a seat next to me. ''What's been bothering you so much lately?'' 

This is it, it's now or never, I think to myself. I peak up from the kitchen counter and Harry is still asleep on the couch, his arms dangling down; giving me a motivating push. I know Harry didn't do it last time. It wasn't him; I can tell. 

''Mum, I've done something bad, again.''

''You ask,'' Alexis shyly suggests.

''No,'' I groan. ''You do it.''

''Why?'' She moans. ''Why me?'' 

''Drama queen,'' I roll my eyes. ''Because, it would be slightly awkward if I talked to Molly when Ross is my brother, that's why.'' 

''Fine.'' She gets up. 

''I'll come with you anyway,'' I shrug and she shoots me a death glare. We had been arguing over who'd go for ten minutes and it resulted to both of us going anyway. I wanted to hear about who did it with my own ears. 

''Uh, hi,'' Alexis tells her.

''Hey,'' Molly is clearly taken back by the unexpected guest. Her eyes shift to me and emotion flashes in her eyes; a mixture of sadness and annoyance. I was a clear reminder of Ross; I looked exactly like him. 

''Need anything?'' She finally asks after all three of us exchange tense looks. 

''Oh, yeah,'' Alexis is finally snapped into reality. ''I wanted to talk to you about Ross, he-''
