George's POV
I decide to get up and go back home as Alex would get worried and interrogate me as if I was a criminal.I stand up and start walking,trying my hardest to ignore the dull aching pain in my abdomen.I walk slowly and as I get to the house I notice a piece of paper on the floor directly outside the house.I bend down,pick it up and realise it's a note.
poor little Alex.
What?This is obviously the guy that's threatening me but why Alex?I feel terrible,I'm bringing everyone into this.Leah and now Alex.I can't let anyone get hurt on behalf of me.So I don't enter the flat instead I pull my phone out and message 'unknown'
George
Why are you doing this?Threatening me,then Leah and now Alex?what have I done?

Unknown
I never wrote the note about Alex.

George
What?well clearly you did.Unless you have another person in on this.

Unknown
Not everything is as it seems,Georgie.

George
What?

George
Answer me

George
Fucking fine then.

I sigh in defeat.Theres someone else In on it?Ugh I can't deal with this.I walk into the house to see Alex looking at his phone with a lovey-dovey expression on his face."what are you looking at?"I ask him and he turns to me in shock,just realising I came home.
"Um,nothing"He said and as soon as he said that i ripped his phone out of this hand to see what it was.A picture of Stacey."um Alex?why are you just looking at Stacey?"I ask him,completely confused.
"Oh for gods sake,George.Isn't it obvious?I fucking like her!"Alex exclaims.
"Oh shit really? Awe mate I'm happy for you.I bet she likes you back.Who wouldn't like a bath water drinking freak like you?"I joke with him.
"George,fuck off"he says laughing.Having a laugh with Alex makes me feel a lot less stressed about everything,like it's not happening."so when are you and Leah gonna make it official?"Alex asks out if the blue.
"Oh.um..."I stutter not expecting that question.
"Jesus George.Ask the woman on a date.She'll say yes!"Alex persuades me.Should I? I mean I have nothing to lose,right? "Fine" I say in defeat.Alex then does a little happy dance which makes me laugh.Taking a deep breath I got my phone and messaged her.
💛George💛
Hi.Um this is out of the blue but I was wondering if you would maybe wanna go out on a date with me?Its okay is you don't want too.xx
She doesn't respond straight away yet when I heard my text tone a couple minutes later I felt as if I was gonna have a panic attack.Slowly I look at what she sent me.

Seen at 8:57pm

"So? What did she say?"Alex pressures me.
"She said yes!"I say and for the first time in awhile I feel really happy.Hm maybe these pills are working.Or was it just Leah? Probably.Me and Alex head of to bed and when I feel sleepy.i don't think my usual thought of 'ugh I wish I was asleep' I feel like I'm free.I don't feel so trapped.Am I going insane?
Or maybe I'm just getting better.
Maybe.
