My Hero

Pinky Promise

~Two days later~

Alex's POV

"I want to go out." Dylan said. "Are you crazy!?!" I said. "No, I'm curious to see what your house looks like at day time instead of sneaking out to eat food! Oh and your out of lucky charms." He said. I gasped. "THAT WAS YOU?!?!?" I yelled. "Maybe." The devil himself said while smirking. "We'll the answer is no! I don't want to see my sister.!!" And that is final!!" I said. He didn't say anything back just started to move the things blocking the door. "NO STOP!!!?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I'm not worried about my scars because I wore a long white skirt, a black crop top that was a long sleeve. But I really don't care because today was actually pretty cold. I also wore my black toms. I know right, shocker. I had my hair straightened and parted about half way, and for the finishing touch a whit flower crown. I was worried about what they will say. I haven't come out of my room for two or three days. I did if you count sneaking out to get food. I was about to yell profanities but he already opened the door. I tackled him down but if you thought this was weird you should hear about our hobbies. Yeah no you don't. "Dylan I told you to not open the DAMN DOOR!!!" I screamed the last part. But it didn't matter because all the boys and a few girls were here. "You finally got out of your room!!" Harry said while walking towards me with a big smile. Before I could say anything he was spinning me around while I held on to him. "Aahh put me down I said while giggling. "NEVER!!" He said while he slung me over his shoulder and started running around. "Please I'll do whatever you want!!" I tried bribing him. He all of the sudden stopped, and put me down. "Who's that boy?" He asked with an eyebrow raised. "That is my friend Dylan I would have introduced you sooner but you were carrying me around like a manic." I said while trying to fix my hair the Harry ruined. "How long has he been your "friend"? How old is he? Does he have a prison record? How did he get in your room? Is he our neighbour?-" I cut Harry off. "Woah slow down! Ok so the answers are: 2 weeks, 13 years of age born June 18th, no, I have a window that's right beside his window, and yes he is our neighbour." I said in all in one breath. "Time?" I asked Dylan. "25.6 seconds."

"Damn I could've beaten my high score!" I angrily stated. "So curly? How ya doin?" I asked while I plopped down next to him. "I'm tired! Tour starts in 4 weeks!" He said while sighing at the end. "But I don't want to leave Dylan!!" I said. "Doesn't Dylan have a family?" Niall asked while having a poking war with Dylan. "I'm an only child, my dad is never home, so that leaves me always over here." He said. "Well I guess......... if your dad ......umm ......... let's you come............ then you may or may not be able to come." Harry managed to get out while playing with my hair. "Really?" Dylan asked surprised that Harry hasn't known him for two hours and he's already part of the family. "Yeah, but only if your dad says yes. OI THAT HURT!!" Niall yelled the last part. "Sooo where's Brianna?" I asked to no one in particular. "She's at a friends house." Louis said. "Guy or a girl?" I asked. "Guy, why do you ask?" Liam answered. "Well lets just hope she isn't pregnant by the time she comes back." I said and walked towards the kitchen. They all followed, even the two girls. "Oh yeah, who are you two?" I asked them. "Hi my names Perrie, but you can call me whatever you want!" She exclaimed. "I'm Melanie and I'm Niall's girlfriend!" She said all snobby like and chewed on the piece of gum like if it was her last. I already don't like her! "Nice meeting you Perrie!" I said in the same tone of voice she said it in. "What about me?!?" Melanie said. "Ummm......errr...... ya know what that's a really cute top!" I said trying to not get more people mad at me. "OMG THANK YOU!!! I GOT IT AT FOREVER 21!!"she yelled. She started to jump around squealing thinking I would do the same exact thing. She must've gotten the message and stopped, but just glared at me. I gave her a cheeky smile in return. "Curly we need to go to the store! Dylan here ate all the good cereal!!" I said while pointing to him. "Honey it's rude to point and we'll go tomorrow." He simply said. I started to tip toe out of the kitchen hoping they wouldn't notice but I was held back by Harry's arm around my waist. "We're not done here. Back to the whole Brianna pregnant thing." He said sternly. "Nothing!" I said really quick. "Yes you have something to say! What is it?" He said still in a stern voice. I looked around the room and saw everyone's eyes on us, and an amused smile on Dylan's face. I sighed. "Can you guys go, encluding(( I don't know if I spelled that right)) you to Dylan!" I yelled. "WHAT I WANT TO STAY!!" Dylan whined. "No go!" I said. "Fine!" He angrily stomped away. As soon as everyone left the room I know they wanted to eavesdrop. "Watch this!" I whispered. I tip toed all the way to the door, I motioned Harry to be quiet. I counted to three and opened the door. All of them came crashing down and I started laughing. "When I said go away I didn't mean outside the door!" I said through bits of laughter. Everyone started to get up and mumble an apology. The soon all left the kitchen and went into the living room. "Wwweeeellllll?" Harry asked dragging it on. "Well me and Brianna aren't in the best of terms." I said. He sighed. "Come with me." He said while extending out his hand for me to take. I hesitated before taking his hand. He led me into my room and shut the door. He told me to sit in the bed, while he took the chair. "Why aren't you and Brianna on the best of terms?" He asked. I simply shrugged clearly unhappy that I had to say something like that. He once again sighed. "Look I knew since day one you weren't very fond of each other. But you have to make an effort and try to know her!" He said a-matter-of-factly. I nodded my head yes.

"What's that?" He asked and was pointing to THE SCAR ON MY NECK!?!? He isn't supposed to see those!! "Umm.... Nothing!" I said and started to walk out of the room, well more like run. He held me by the waist and pulled me back. I tried getting out of his strong grip but I was to weak! He got a hold of my arm and lifted the sleeve. He did the same with the other one. He didn't do the legs which I was grateful for! He gasped at the sight, with tears in his eyes. "Some of these are new!" He said as his voice started to crack. "Those are from yesterday." I said trying to get rid of the lump in my throat. I didn't dare look in his eyes, I don't want to see what I've done. He let go of my arms, didn't say a word just walked into the bathroom. I followed close behind, he took anything I could cut myself with. "Is there more?" He asked. "Scars or razors?

"Both." He said. I nodded and went through my drawers. I pulled some shorts out and mumbled, " Wait here.". I went into the bathroom I didn't pull the sleeves down I left them like that since he already saw them. I got out of my skirt and put on the high-waisted shorts. They showed basically all of the scars on my legs. The only one left is the one on my back. My dad came home drunk when I was about eight and brought home prostitute. They would have sex until they were done, he would come in my room knife in one hand belt in the other. I think you could imagine what happened that night. I stepped out of the bathroom, with my eyes on the ground. I heard him gasp once again, this time I did hear him cry. The tears were uncontrollably falling down his face. He knelt down to my level and hugged me. I slowly started to wrap my arms around his neck. He let go of me and looked at me in the eyes but didn't say a word. I brought my hands up and wiped his tear stained face. I hugged him one more time. He hugged back right away, I could feel my shirt getting soaked. I didn't care at all at that moment! I just wanted everything to go away. The nightmares, the scars, and my old dad. I let go of him but I didn't want to. He to let go of me he softly said," Please no more!". "I promise." And to my surprise my voice was steady. He still looked a but unsure, until he said," Pinky Promise?" with a small smile. "Pinky promise!" I said with a small smile also. It was around 5:30 but I was tired. I yawned. "Tired?" Harry asked. I nodded my head yes. "Come here." He said while taking off his shoes and sitting at the head of the bed. I to got on the bed and went where he was sitting. As I sat next to him I looked at him, and he had an amused smile on. "What?" I asked the cheeky boy. He didn't say anything but slide his arm around my waist and set me in his lap. "Go to sleep, baby." He cooed. I was fighting to keep my eyes open by now. "Nooooo!!" I said but you can tell I was already falling into deep sleep. He laughed at my attempt to stay awake, like he forgot about what happened a few moments ago. "Goodnight baby, love you." He said sincerely. "I love you too, Harry!" Even though I was in a sleepy state, I still meant every word.
