Give me something to hold on to-60

A/n- Hit by the waves. Caught in a shipwreck. Oh. I'm breaking for you. I may be lost. But my hearts the compass. Oh, it points back to you........

-Alexa's POV-
"Okay. Yeah. I will. Love you Louis. Bye. " I said, hanging up the phone. The boys and Mackenzie had just gotten done with their concert and were off to a meet and greet. I don't know how they manage being so busy when they're on tour. It seems all a bit.....much.
"Hey Alexa?" Kendall called from the other room. I sighed.
"Yeah....?"
"Can I talk to you?" She asked, coming out of her room and tying her hair into a messy bun. I nodded.
"Yeah. You can always talk to me. What's up?" I asked, shifting my legs underneath me so that she could sit down next to me on the couch. She sat down slowly and looked at me tiredly, moving a piece of her hair out of her face.
"D'you promise....not to tell anyone?" She said quietly, her hazel eyes holding a smoldering contact with mine. I swallowed.
​​​​​​ "Why.....?" I practically whispered, worried this would be something horrible. Her expression was emotionless, making sure I would be unable to read it.
"Just...promise." she said quietly. I nodded, but she rolled her eyes and put her pinky finger out, indicating that we should pinky swear.
​​​​​​ "What are we.....11?" I asked. She rose her eyebrows as if to say Just do it.
"Fine. I promise." I said, linking my pinky with hers.
"Okay....so....umm.....I.....umm..hit relapse..." she practically whispered, her voice shaking. My heart hit the floor and a tear rolled down my face immediately before I could stop it.
"You...w...what?" I stammered out. She sighed and wiped the tear from my cheek and nodding.
"Yes.....just...don't interrupt me...okay?" She whispered, fixing a loose piece of my hair.
"O-okay...." I stammered. She smiled sadly at me and pulled out her phone.
"Just look." She whispered, shoving her phone into my hands. I grabbed my glasses off the coffee table and shoved them on, looking at the text message that was on her phone. It was from an unknown number. And what it said was.....

Hello Kendall!! It was a pleasure meeting your friend last year!! Alexa was it!? I'm sure you have forgotten about me by now...but I haven't forgotten about you love!! See you got yourself a boyfriend......he's cute. I might just want to meet him. Hopefully you'll introduce me to him when I get there. I'll see you in a bit my disobedient daughter. And believe me. You are in trouble.
Love, your step father. Xoxo

I gasped and the phone fell from my hands and onto Kendall's lap. "Kendall. We have to tell someone about this. The boys can get us security..they can-" I started, but Kendall cut me off, by shaking her head.
"Alexa....." she warned. "You cannot tell anyone about this. You promised!" She said, her Aussie accent coming out stronger than it usually does.
"But Kendall....." I protested, getting up to pace the room. She sighed.
"We can't tell anybody about this. No one." She clarified, sounding deadly serious.
"Umm....why not?" I chided. She sighed, rubbing her head as if it hurt her.
"If we tell anyone, he'll kill me." She said quietly, her eyes tired.
"What?" I asked, sitting down next to her and grabbing her hands in mine, trying to understand this situation.
"He'll kill me......and Harry. And....you.....and....my mum...and my brother." She whispered, her eyes intense. "We can't tell anyone. Not anyone." She whispered.
"But.....what if..." I started, but she shook her head.
"Not anyone Alexa. You got it?" She ordered, I nodded. "He's worse you know...." she whispered. I looked up at her, my eyes scared.
"Worse? Worse than who?" I asked, slightly confused.
"Than Evelyn. And Trey. He won't play this game of torture. He'll kill me and Harry. He won't hold back. He hates me." She said, tears stinging her eyes.
"It'll be okay...." I said weakly, but she only shook her head.
"No....it won't." She insisted, standing up next to me and hugging me.
"What....?" I stammered as she released me and kissed my cheek, tears brimming in her eyes.
"I have to go." She whispered, smiling sadly at me as a tear fell from her eye.
"W....what?" I asked again as she walked away from me, grabbing her jacket and opening the door.
"I'll be back. I promise. Just....don't tell anyone. I'll be back. I...p..promise. If not....I'll....I'll call you. Okay?" She asked quietly. I was so confused. I didn't know what was happening...or where she was going.
"Kendall. I'm coming with you." I said, walking over to where she was by the door and grabbing my coat as well.
"I can't let you do that."
"You can't stop me." I insisted. She sighed, and pulled me out the door after her, shoving her phone into the inside pocket of her coat.
"There's a lot you don't know about me Alexa." She whispered, unlocking her car and getting in the drivers side. I slid in the passenger side and looked at her.
"Like what?" I inquired. She didn't answer. Just pulled out of the driveway, her hands shaking as she pulled on to the road....
