Alex

“I don’t know what sickens me more, the fact that Alex was used as a test subject, or the fact that Becky asked Liam to take a bath with her,” I said laying on my back in one of the cots It was getting dark out now. Harry, Liam, and Lily had told the rest of us about their theories about Alex and we all agreed that it would be best not to tell her.

“We don’t know for sure if she was, in fact, a test subject,” Harry pointed out.

“But, if she actually was, then…” Lily stared.

“Then?” Liam prompted.

“Then, why was she a test subject?” Lily asked. We stayed silent unable to answer her question. “What was she supposed to do?” Harry asked putting his head in his hands.

“All I know is that Alex was supposed to do something. And I have a bad bad feeling. Im going to protect her.” Lily said, her hands clenching into fists.

“I dont mean to be rude or anything,” I started, “But I think Alex is stronger than all of us combined. How exactly do you intend on protecting her, love?” Lily stood. Her red jeans tight against her hips.

“I know for a fact that Alex’s father is in the U.K. He, I know, wouldn't be killed by something like an apocalypse. I’m going to make sure that asshole dosint fuking lay a finger on her. I will kill him if he lays a hand on her or even talks to her. If the first thing he does is get on his knees and beg for forgiveness, I will refrain from shooting him there and them. But he abandoned her and treated her like a guinea pig,” Lily said, each word venomous. She walked to the door and opened it slowly. “Oh, and good night.” she said right before she slammed the door behind her. A half an hour later Kyler came into the room and told us that Alex believed that we would reach land by morning, then it was a straight shoot to Heathrow airport safe house. I was thrilled but nervous all at once. I already knew my family was dead, I had a feeling and no one would answer their phone. If I lost Perrie, if she was dead, I would be dead too.

“So if a guy can beat you at poker than you would settle down with him?!” I laughed with Alex. She smirked and said,

“Exactly! And we know that ain't happening so…” I laughed and playfully pushed her.

“Well my future husband is on this ship,” Becky said fluffing her hair. I rolled my eyes.

“Ew! Look I know Kyler is cute with his freckles and all but seriously! He is like 5 years younger than you! You fucking pedifle!” Alex yapped in an over dramatic voice. I began to giggle uncontrollably.

“Fuck you bitch! Harry is only nice to you because you are another survivor and he is a nice person who doesn't want to see anyone die,” Gloria said angrily. Alex immediately stopped laughing, she sat up.

“I dont care. I hate this world. It doesn't matter what I'm going through or what happened to me, if a famous person breaks a nail or yells at someone its all over the news! And celebrities don't care that there are people out there with horrible lives! If Harry died I wouldnt care! Because I KNOW THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS FUCKING APOCALYPSE HE WOULDN'T CARE THAT I WAS LEFT FOR DEAD AND THAT MY FATHER-” Alex abruptly stopped. She wasn’t crying, but I knew that she wanted to. She just won't let herself cry. I knew she was going to say that her father left her and her brothers and that she had nobody to turn to but her brother.When she finally relaxed into a setting that was happy and not filled with tests and monitoring, her brother was ripped away from her. When she said she was left for dead she was, she had a baby and a little brother. No car, no job, no money, no caring family. She wasn't even in high school yet. But she is a fighter, she stared death in the face and flipped him off. “Good night,” She said poking a sleeping Arianna’s chubby cheeks. The other girls were silent now after Alex’s blow up. We climbed into bed and I called lights out as Alex flipped the lights off.  I couldn't sleep though, I cried. I cried the tears Alex was afraid to shed….
