sweet as sugar, cold as ice

Chapter 35

Alex's pov

I sat, watching tv, the events of the past few days still clear in my mind. I picked my nails and cracked my knuckles, it's a habit.
But I couldn't help but think, what my dream was about, it is just a dream, but what if it really did mean something.
What if Harry's not telling me something? And there is a lot of things about my dad that I didn't know of, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had anything to do with him.
"Stop cracking your knuckles!" Harry snapped, I wonder what got up his ass?
He's been like this all day, snappy with me. I suppose, I have been too.
As he shouted at me, it just angered me and made me want to do it more, therefore I did.
"Stop it." He growled. I ignored him and carried on. He stormed over to me grabbing my hands and pulling them apart.
"I said stop it." I gulped loudly, I then stopped, getting frightened a bit.
"Turn this shit off!" He screamed "no! I like it" "fucking turn it off. It's terrible." He growled "there's nothing better to do! Is there, Harry?" I sneered

"Why are you being like this?" I asked "like what!" "All snappy, and touchy."
"I'm fucking not!" "See there you go again!" I squeaked

"Harry, are you keeping something from me?" "What do you mean?" He quickly responded "it's just, I don't know. It feels like you are."
"Well I'm not just... Forget about it." Now I know, he is keeping something from me "no. Not until you tell me what it is."
"Alex! I'm not keeping anything from you!" He shouted as he stood up, I mimicked his actions. "I can tell when your lying Harry."
"I'm not lying to you!" "There must be something, Harry, I just know it" I whispered
He sighed and walked closer too me. "Alright maybe there Is something... But it's been kept from you for a long long time now... And it's for your own good." I took a deep breath in "Harry. Tell me." "I can't, Alex" he ran a hand through his hair "look, Harry I can handle it, I'll be fine what ever it is. I need to-" I was cut off by Harry shouting "I can't fucking tell you Alex! Don't you fucking get that?!"
"Yes you can harry! Just tell me, you can trust me. I'm your girlfriend. And it's a secret about me anyway, so-"

I felt my body high off of the back wall and pain go straight through my back, my wrists where pinned to the wall. And I yelped "I. Can't. Tell. You." He seethed "Harry... Your hurting me." I cried, tears brimming at the corners of my eyes.
He then let go of me, his eyes softening. I was so angry. My hand flew for his face but before it could reach it. Harry's hand caught mines. "Do you want to try that again?" He growled. Shivers were sent down my spine, as I gulped nervously.
He let go of my hand and stormed away.

If he won't tell me what this secret is. I'll find out for myself.
