The Unextraordinary Life of Alexandra Jane (Editing)

Chapter Nineteen: Asking

"Which way to your moms house?" Rosalyn asks buckling her seat belt

"I'll type it in to the GPS" I say 

My mom pokes her head through the passenger window

"I'll meet you there in an hour, I'm going to do some grocery shopping but I won't be long" She showed relief to know that I was finally leaving the hospital after being there for only four and half days, but her eyes hold worry and fear. Worry that I won't adapt well at home, worry that I'll get frustrated when I can't do something, fear that I'll get hurt when she's not around. 

"Take your time, Rosalyn will take the long way and I'll call Alex later. Maybe she'll help. Don't worry" I smile at her and give her a peck on the cheek. She kisses my forehead and leans away from the car. I wave out the window as we pull away from the hospital

"I'm taking the long way huh?" Rosalyn grins lifting up an eyebrow

"If you don't mind" I smirk 

"On one condition, you really call Alex later"

Alex's POV
 

"Alex I'm sorry" I hear Jackie say as we pull into the school parking lot

"It's fine" I say not lifting my gaze from my hands in my lap 

"She's probably just a friend. We shouldn't have gone, I didn't know-"

I shake my head interrupting her unnecessary apology 

"It's okay, really, I shouldn't have gone anyway. I just thought that just maybe he would be there waiting for me to-" I look up at Jackie her eyebrows are lifted and her eyes are soft

"It's okay really, I'm going to head home and just take the rest of the day off I'll see tomorrow for lunch okay?" I give my best friend my best fake smile 

She nods, hugs me tightly then slips out of the car 

I let out a deep breath and run my hands through my hair. I've gotten so used to my short hair that now I realize how annoying it is having hair longer than 

Harry could have called me but he didn't. He called someone I've never seen before, someone that he trusts more than me, someone other than me.

It's odd how lately my thoughts always make their way back to him, how every time he hurts me I make up excuses for him. 

As I put the car in drive a knock on the window and a pair of familiar blue eyes makes my heart flutter

Harry's POV

"No" I say simply taking a sip from my root beer. 

"Harry" She says sliding her glasses on her head "You have to tell her the truth" 

"I know just not now" I say nodding

I'll call Alex later, after I see her

Alex's POV

The rain has barely begun to pelt down and Louis hair is already shimmering.

I point at the passenger seat gesturing for him to come inside but he shakes his head and gestures for me to go outside 

I give him a puzzled look but agree to talk to him outside. As I reach for my umbrella in the backseat my heart begins to race. I haven't spoken to him since our kiss on Friday and I don't know if I'm ready to now

I step out of the car and into the pouring rain opening the umbrella

"Hey" Louis smiles but his eyes seem sad, they don't crinkle at the corners or have the small sparkle they usually have.

He's wearing white vans, black skinny jeans, a white T shirt and a blue jean jacket. his hair is pushed up at the front. He has a way of looking so handsome it makes me happy to just look at him

"Hey" I smile back "How-"

My lips don't finish because Louis lips press against mine. He places his hands on my cheeks rubbing circles with his thumb

I stagger back at first leaning against the car but my my body reacts to his instantly, mimicking the way his lips move around mine, colliding against his body. My hands move from his chest to his hair. I search for the curls but my fingers only find the smooth limp hair that belongs to Louis not Harry. 

The way that I don't have to worry about what to do or say with Louis, the way that In the short time I've known Louis I feel more comfortable with him than I have with Harry in the past month, This feeling, this desire I feel right now, is because of Louis not Harry

Harry's POV

I stare out the window and notice the rain begin to pick up the further we drive

What will I say when I call Alex? Will she forgive me? Shit, what if she doesn't. Fuck. I won't have anyone if she doens't forgive me. If she hates me, I'll hate myself for ever. It sounds corny and stupid and like something off a stupid romance movie but, 

Alex is the one that my heart belongs too, her simplicity her strength, her being draws me to her and I don't know if it's possible for me to feel this way about anyone else and I don't want to find out. 

We reach the edge of campus and I sit up in my seat looking out the window like a damn dog. 

We reach the parking lot where Alex is sure to be heading home. She parks her car at the very front-

Fuck

Not again

I feel my jaw clench and my nails begin to dig into my palm. 

Alex is pressed against her car, her arms rapped around him. Louis. 

Her body reacting to his in the most obvious way

She's kissing him, she's falling for him. 

She's exactly the way I found Rachel 

And once again, It's my fault
