A side of me you never found//alerrie

Chapter 5

Alex's POV
--------------
I took a deep breath and walked towards the door, no one else was home so it would be just me and perrie. It's so long since she's been round, I'm a nervous wreck. Stop Alex. She's just a friend, a best friend. Nothing else.
I let perrie in and we went to the kitchen.
"Would you like a drink?"
P: "erm no thanks I'm good"
She says that a lot it's like her little cover up line
A: "you can go sit down if you like, I'll be through in a minute"
P: "okay"
I made myself a drink and went through into the front room. Perrie was on her phone, as usual, but something was different. She looked up and gave me a weak smile, she looked so upset and worried.
A: "pez are you ok?"
P: "yeh" as she spoke she broke down into tears.
A: "what's wrong perrie, you're not usually like this"
P: "it's zayn. He keeps messaging me asking if we can get back together and"
I cut her off
A: "I know you loved him but didn't he break up with you?"
P: "yeh he did. And I didn't love him Alex"
A: "what do you mean you didn't love him?"
P: "I never loved zayn. I just used him as a distraction to get my mind off of someone else"
A: "come here pez"
She moved over and I gave her a comforting hug (in the friendly way ofc)
A: "don't worry about him, I'll make sure he doesn't mess with you pez"
P: "thanks Alex" she looked up at me and smiled again. I love her smile, it's gorgeous. She's gorgeous. But hearing that she loves someone else hurts my heart, I thought she missed zayn. But she never loved him, I don't understand who she'd love so much that she'd need a distraction.
P: "Alex, I need to go now me mam will be home and she'll have dinner ready, you can come round if you like"
A: "are you sure pez? I've not been round in so long are you sure your mam won't mind?"
P: "nah mam will be fine with it trust me"
A: "id love to "

Perries POV
---------------
I knew Alex would agree to come over considering I was only at his for an hour or so. I really want to tell him how I feel but I don't want to ruin our friendship.
He knows that I didn't love zayn, I'm glad I told him, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. But he doesn't know who I do love, I hope he thinks it's him. I wish he knew it was him.
A: "pez, you ready to go?"
P: "yep"
We walk down the road at a comfortable pace talking the whole way, I'm glad we've become close again, I've missed Alex a lot. I just wish he knew how extremely happy he makes me.

We walk towards my front door, I was about to get my keys out but Caitlin runs to the door and opens it "hi Alex" she says before giving him a hug. I know she doesn't like him in that way and he's just her 'mate' but it still makes me jealous, especially since she's my little sister.  I really hope Alex stays here for a bit after dinner, I just want to be next to him all the time, I want to be with Alex.
Nobody else.
