Chapter Fourteen of 'The Boy In The Basement':

Harry's P.O.V

I watched them through the door. He was touching my girl. Who does he think he is to be touching my girl? My blood began to boil, and I balled my fists up at my sides. I want him away from her. I want his lips off from hers. I want him to be far away from her as possible.

What Alice doesn't know is that he is one of the many demons in this world. She either doesn't see it, or she knows what he is, but doesn't want to accept it.

I walked straight through the door and stood centimeters away from them. His hands traveled up her sides, than underneath her shirt. I was getting more and more protective over her as he touched her.

I need to calm myself before I do anything horrible. But as I watched Miles touch her bum, and her jump forward, I just lost it.

Alice's P.O.V

I pulled Miles closer to me as the kiss grew deeper and deeper by the second. I felt Miles' hands run down my bare skin, and down to my bum. I felt him squeeze, and I smiled, jumping into him more. I felt his own lips tug up into a smile as I did so.

The sound of glass shattering made us pull away. My heart was racing in fear, and my eyes searched around the room for the glass. Miles and I were still intertwined as we looked around; out of breath.

"What the hell was that?" Miles asked, out of breath. I looked around with my mouth parted slightly. Yeah, what the hell was that? "I-I don't know." I whispered. I gulped and stepped out of his grip.

"Alice? Where are you going?" Miles asked, but never moved. I furrowed my eyebrows and stepped out of his room, looking up and down the hallways.

Go home.

The blood in me began to boil. I should've known he was the one to ruin my first kiss. I should've known he'd get jealous, and broke something to get us to break up. I should've known it was Harry Styles all along.

I walked back to Miles room and rubbed my forehead. He was sitting on his bed, with his hands folded across his lap. "Did you find anything?" he asked me. I shook my head and sat down beside him. He didn't look at me, and I didn't look at him.

We both stared out the door, waiting for something to happen again. But nothing came. All we heard was the sound of our heavy breathing.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Miles asked, nudging me with his shoulder. Sighing, I nodded my head. I want to see if Harry was behind all of this.

--

"I had a good time," I noted, nodding my head and smiling at Miles. He put his car in park and smiled over at me. "Me too." he agreed firmly. We were both smiling at each other when he began to lean in.

I leaned in too, and soon our lips crashed onto one another, and we were giving each other a goodnights kiss. I pulled back and blushed. "Goodnight, Miles." I smiled and headed out of the car. "Bye." his voice lingered in the air as I walked up the long driveway.

I heard his car drive off on the gravel, and I let out a breath of air I've been holding in. I entered the house a little while later, and my mum was sitting at the kitchen table, on her phone. "Why were gone out so late?" she asked.

I rolled my eyes as I opened the fridge, taking out the orange juice. "I wasn't. It's only eight." I said back. I heard her sigh. I opened the cupboard and poured the orange juice into the cup. After cleaning up my mess, I sipped from the cup.

"I don't care. It's still late." she snapped. I turned to her and glared. "Why are you so obsessed with me?" I rose an eyebrow. She sunk in her chair, taken aback by my question.

"Because you are my daughter. And I need to know these things, Alice Dawson." Mum looked at me cold, and hard. It kinda scared me. I ignored what she said and dumped my orange juice down the sink.

"Where's dad?" I asked. "Work. He got called in late." she sighed, rubbing her eyes. I don't seem why she would care. I am sorry to say, but I am starting to think that she is cheating on dad. I know I shouldn't accuse her for anything, but the way she's been acting, the way she's always late from getting home from work. Her make up and hair is always messed up. You can't blame me for assuming, can you?

I began walking up to my room. "Um, young lady where do you think you are going?" Mum's voice stopped me. "Going to my room, night." without another word, I headed up the stairs.

The floors creaked behind me, and an unfamiliar presence was able to be felt. I turned my head to only find nothing. My heart pace picked up and I scurried to my room. Once I hit my room, I slammed the door shut and pressed my back against it.

Closing my eyes, I rested my head back against the door. That's when I felt sparks fly from my lips, down every single bone in my body. My eyes shot open, and my hands were held above my head with force.

Nothing was in front of me from what I could see. But I did feel cold air rush through me, and around me, making my hair on my arms stand up. Also, the smell of peppermint invaded my nostrils for what seemed like the millionth time since I've been in this house.

My hands were released, and the memorable sensation on my mouth disappeared. I was out of breath and I looked down at my wrists. Red marks were outlined as fingertips. I looked back up and about jumped out of my skin.

It was only Harry.

"What the actual hell, Harry?!" I whispered yelled to him, taking a step forward. Harry only looked at me with cold, hard eyes. "Why did you let him touch you?" he demanded. His words said one thing, but his eyes said another.

"Why do you care?" I scoffed, crossing my arms. Harry's nostrils flared as he took a step closer to me. "Because I fucking love you, Alice!" he screamed in my face. I looked at him shocked by the outstanding facts he just revealed.

His eyes softened and he broke down onto the ground. He hung his head in his hands and sobbed while I just stood there, confused as a turtle. He loved me? No, that can't be.

You are something else, Alice. I fucking love you, and you are too dumb to see it!

"You don't love me Harry. You were just jealous." I said quietly. I believe it's impossible for a dead person to love. Yet again, he has kissed me- twice I might add. And he is dead.

"Can't you see that I love you?! And, and you let that thing touch you! He is a demon, Ally." Harry looked up at me. How in the world is Miles a demon? That seems mighty silly to be honest. Miles is too... Miles to be a demon. He doesn't seem to have that type of personality.

Harry stood up again and turned to face me. "If you are too blind to see how much I truly love you, than you will never see me again." he turned on his heel and began walking away towards my window. Than he vanished.

Thank you for all the comments on the last chapter! And, it seemed to me that #2 was all of your favorite! That surprised me, aha. And, I found it really cool that some of you even shared some of your expirences with me! Thanks!

Has anyone seen 'The Fault In Our Stars' yet? Oh, my Gosh. I saw it Saturday, and I balled my eyes out! Augustus was so much sweeter in the movie, then the book in my oppinion!
