Alex's POV
I watch as George storms back into the flat and I turn to look at her. Leah. She stood there with visible guilt painted on her face, leading me to ask. "What the fuck was that, Leah?" And as I spit her name out as if it was venom, she flinches.
"It needed to be done."As she says this, I see red.
"What the fuck are you on? You love him. He loves you. He just got you. You just got him. You really want to throw that away?"I shout at her and it seems as if she didn't like that as she shot back.
"What If I do?"And after those words leave her mouth I look at her and slowly say in a menacing voice.
"Get out of our flat, you heartless bitch"And at that last word she turns and walks off.I have to check on George.
I walk to his room and knock gently on the door as I say. "George? Can I come in?" And a few seconds later I hear a response of a small 'yes'. I make my way in to see George in his bed, red puffy eyes only visible under the bed sheets. "Is she gone?" He asks fragile.
"Yes. I made her go." I tell him.
"Why, Alex? Why does this happen to me? Am I incapable of love?"George whispers this too me but I can hear every word and everyone of them rips my heart one by one.
"George, don't think like that. She's being rash. She doesn't know what she's doing" I try and reassure him yet it doesn't work as he says to me.
"She meant every word she said there."And to be honest I didn't know what to say to that.Yet suddenly I remember what Leah said. "What did Leah mean by the texts?" If George tells me about this maybe I can tell him about Stacey. He sighs and as he was about speak his phone rings. I don't ask for who it is. But as I try and take his mind off it, we forgot about that question.Until I asked later that night when i suddenly remembered. "George? What did leah mean by the messages?" He wasn't ready for this out of the blue question and hesitated before answering me.
"I guess you should know.I got a message one day. From a unknown person saying 'watch your back' and it turns out that it was Leah's ex boyfriend like she said. He kept threatening me and Leah. And um threatening you." Suddenly it really all made sense.
"That night. When you got that text. It wasn't your brother, right? It was Leah's ex." And after I figured this out, he slowly nodded.
"You dumb bitch! Why the fuck didn't you tell me. He wouldn't of found out."I exclaimed to him.
"I was scared, Alex!"He shouts back at me, that shuts me up.After few minutes of silence, George soon breaks it. "Now I've answered that, what was wrong with you earlier?" As he asked this, I sighed In defeat. I had to tell him.
"You know Stacey?" I sigh deeply when he nods.
"She wrote a note saying "poor little Alex" and I found it when I looked in your room for a shirt. I invited her round so she walked in on me reading it in confusion. She threatened me not to say anything and I didn't . She works with Leah's ex and the worst thing is, is that I fell In love with her!" As I rant, George's eyes got more and more sad. His green eyes shiny with pity, this didn't anger me yet made me feel like someone cared.
"Hey, your not alone with that. I love Leah too and honestly it feels really fucking shitty to have this happen." As he says to me I'm struck in the face with the reminder of what happened tonight.He must feel so sad.
"George, are you okay?"
"Yea- no. I won't lie anymore. I'm hurt. I'm really fucking hurting, Alex" his weakness shines through and that makes me wrap my arm around him.
"She'll regret what she did,George."I tell him Yet suddenly he stands up and falsely smiles and exclaims.
"Let's go make a video!" And starts walking to his bedroom leaving me in a shock. I then get up and follow him. The video takes our mind off of all of this. Yet the one sentence still sits in my mind.
"Poor little Alex"
