Chapter 7
I wake up to a loud knock on the door. It makes me jump and I immediately whimper in pain. I swing my legs off the side of my bed and walk to the door. I open it just enough to peak my head out.
"Who is it." I say quietly.
"Harry." he says and I shut the door.
"Go away." I say.
He opens the door and grabs my shoulder.
"Stop. I'm sorry! Geez!" I yell and he looks confused.
"You're scared aren't you?" he says.
"Well I mean you just beat the shit out of me, so yeah, a little." I say putting a scowl on my face.
"Well I just came to tell you that you need to change your bandages on your neck." he says sighing.
"Fine." I say and hobble out of the room.
I limp to the bathroom and pull out a bandage. I stick it on my neck and head to the stairs. I take them one at a time sucking in a breath of pain each time.
"Alex!" Harry screams when I have six steps left.
"Stooooooop." I whine and start to walk again.
I hear him huff and glide down the stairs. He picks me up from behind.
"I can do it by myself!" I yell kicking my feet.
"Stop you're gunna make us fall!" he yells back at me.
He reaches the bottom and sets me down. I slap him on the arm and he slaps me across the cheek.
"I just fucking helped you, be grateful for once." he says anger dripping from his voice.
I hold my cheek and flip him off. I turn and limp to the kitchen. I turn my head slightly and see Niall, Liam, and Louis. I do a double take and suck in a deep breath. I back into the wall with a loud thud and slide down. I put my forehead on my knees and rock back and forth.
What's going on with me? I used to be badass with these boys! Now they're in my house eating my food and I'm curled up in a little ball. Maybe I'm just mentally and physically exhausted. Maybe my body is just shutting down from all of the beatings, I don't think my body can take it anymore I guess. I think my mind is shutting down.
"Shit." I hear Harry say.
"What the hell is she doing?" Niall asks.
"She's just freaking out." Harry says as I remain rocking.
"Well help her!" Liam screams.
"Alright, alright, geez!" Harry says.
A hand touches me and I flinch.
"Alex, are you ok?" Harry asks.
"J-Just beat m-me up a-and g-g-go." I say shaking.
"Damn." Niall says.
Big hands pick me up and carry me back up the stairs. I hook my legs around the body afraid he'll drop me. I squeeze my eyes shut and wait till I'm in my soft bed.
"Someone's got a new girlfriend." Louis snickers.
"Fuck you." Harry says and I breathe deeply and tense up.
We reach the top of the stairs and he goes to my room. He lays me on my bed and I curl up in a ball. I grab my knees and start to shake.
"Alex! Alex! Calm down, Alex please!" Harry pleads. He unhooks my hands and pulls down my legs so I'm laying straight. I stop shaking and stare at him blankly.
