Unpredictable

chapter 79

Alex's P.O.V

I had to leave. I told the Dean that I was leaving for a family emergency. Technically it was a family emergency, I'm going to my family's house and this is an emergency.

I called my mom at my apartment while I packed. She told me to come home, so they can cheer me up and things along those lines.

The amount of kisses Niall and I exchanged were too many to count. While we waited on the plane to board, he told me to come back and see him. He began to drop a few tears when I told him I loved him. We always tell each other it, but we haven't in a while and to say it right now, meant a lot to me and him. I put my face in his shirt at the airport, so no one would hear me crying like a damn baby. I wasn't only crying because I was leaving him, it was the things that made me want leave.

In the taxi on the way to my mom's house, I sat there smiling from thinking about my little getaway.

It hurts like shit to leave Niall, but I had to and he understood why after I threw I complete ranting tantrum in his bedroom. Zayn and Niall had to pin me down after I kept thinking about all of the things that happened to me there. The one that drove me insane was whenever an old roommate of theirs had sex with me against my will, I didn't even know him.

I knock on the door and my mom flies out to me with open arms.

"Oh, peanut! You're here! I'm so excited," She hugs me, squealing and Jake comes to take my luggage for me.

"Where's Andy?" Jake asks and I make up a lie.

"He's having a guys out weekend and couldn't make it."

"Aw, Mitch and him could've hungout." Jake says and walks up the staircase to put my bag away.

"Alex! You're back!" Peyton and Olivia shout.

"Your hair actually looks really good," Olivia says taking the rubber band out of it.

"Um, thanks." I laugh quietly.

We all go to the living room and I give Mitch a hug, Jake picks out a movie to watch and my mother is in the kitchen making white chocolate popcorn.

"This is so damn good!" Mitch says and Jake tells him to watch his mouth.

I sit by my mom on the two seated couch and whisper about what happened back in London. She puts her arm around my shoulder and comforts me like an actual mother should. This is what I've craved since I was two years old, I don't care about how many years she missed of my life, I'm glad she's here now.

Dinner was eaten on the couch tonight for a last minute movie night since I came. Spaghetti and garlic bread is one of my favorite foods, so it's gone within a matter of minutes because I eat like a caveman.

"Are you going to call your boy toy?" Jake teases.

"He's not a boy toy and no, I'm tired." I respond.

"Go call him." My mom points to the stair steps.

I laugh as I walk upstairs, it's like I'm being grounded, but this is the best punishment I've ever had. I pull my laptop out of my bag and turn it on, then immediately call Niall for a video chat, but he's already calling me.

"I miss you." Is the first thing he says to me through the webcam. I lay on my stomach with my laptop in front of me.

"What are you doing, Bunny?" Niall asks, opening up a bag of chips.

"I just ate dinner and now I'm talking to you. Are you going to sleep already?" He's underneath his comforter and it's dark, so I think he's about to call it a night.
