Hate Turns Into Love || Asa Butterfield

24 || Alex Is Coming

-Hailee-

"Uh ..." I stopped and watched how Alex walked towards me, wearing a white T-shirt and ripped jeans , with black sneakers and a pretty expensive looking watch,

Fast! Run away now you still can!

"Sorry, Helene I mean Hailee, Lee .." He put his hand through his hair.

"Hailee for you, not Lee." I said and a little smile formed on his face.

"Where are you going?" He asked and walked closer to me.

"Home" I answered.

"Let me walk home with you." He offered and stood beside me, I held the key in my hands and tried to keep the bag as close as possible.

Say no!

"Okay,"

What! Why okay? You had to say no, Dumbass!

"Good." He grinned. We walked side by side in silence as he followed me to every management I went to.

"What have you got there?" He asked and pointed to the bag. My eyes fell on the bag and luckily you only saw candy.

"Oh, just candy." I said.

"Wow, you love sugar!"

"Of course," I answered and looked at him. "Why are you outside?"

"I ... was just about to take a walk outside until I saw you." He said and I nodded. "Where do you live?"

If you say this, I'll beat you, Hailee!

Wait, can you beat yourself?

"My brother and my mother are not here for a while, so I went to sleep with my sister by a friend." I said.

Smooth Lee!

"Oh okay." He took a breath and looked at me again.

"Did you know that there were a few children who threw windows in with stones?" He asked and I stopped breathing.

"Y-yes, why?"

"Well, my parents were so cold this morning." He kicked a few stones.

"Oh, what bad for you." I tried so hard to hold my smile, so I just looked at the stone wall we walked past.

"Yes, but do you know what is bad?" He asked and I turned around. He stopped, looking at me. "That they are never there for me."

"Yes, I know how you feel." I sighed and walked on. He seemed sad, broken, need family love. Just like I used to.

"Really?" He accelerated his pace to be able to walk next to me again.

"Yes really."

For a while we walked silently, the only thing you heard were our footsteps and the bag that occasionally hit my leg.

"You and Asa?" He asked out of nowhere, wow. How many times is that? Twenty thousandth time?

"Oh yeah." I scratched the back of my neck and looked at the ground.

"You know, it is a shame, so a beautiful girl taken by such a ..." He stopped talking.

"By a what?" I asked and he shook his head. "Say it, by a what?"

"No don't bother."

"See!"

"What?"

"You just do scared to say it." I said and walked on.

"What? I am Alex, Scared of nothing!" He said and pushed me away playfully.

"Yes, Liar." I laughed and hit him with the bag.

"I'm not."

"Then say what Asa is!"

"A heartbreaker." He sighed and stepped forward. I stepped back and looked at him angrily.

"What do you mean with a heartbreaker?" I said. He wanted to put his hand on my shoulder, but I moved my shoulder so he couldn't put it.

"Lee .."

"Its Hailee!"

"Hailee, he was once my best friend, he was the leader of our group and if the leader wants something the leader gets it." He began. "He probably had more girlfriends than the number of candy bags in your bag."

"That's impossible! He's only 17, and I have more candy bags than his age."

"Nothing is impossible, Lee." He said and I looked at him angrily again. "I mean Hailee." He corrected himself.

"What happened to this world! Dating so many girls, gross!" I said frustrated as I walked away from Alex.

When I closed the door behind me, I ran up a spear as I jumped two steps at the same time I knocked at Aaliyah's door and it waved immediately.

"Yeah, you're back!" She said relieved and pulled me inside.

"Here's your candy and you ... yeah .." I handed her the bag and she threw all the candy on her bed. Mrs. Butterfield walked out of the bathroom with a few towels and saw me standing there.

"Oh, Lee, there you are, can you keep Asa busy? He checks every five minutes to see if everything is going well." She asked and I nodded very hard. I walked to the door and opened it, and to my surprise, Asa stood there with a hand in a fist in the air. I heard Aaliyah throwing the boxes full of sanitary towels behind her and Asa looking at me weird.

"Is everything going we-?"

"Yes, Asa, everything is going well!" I said and pushed him back with my one hand and with my other hand I closed the door behind me. I felt how his hands held my hand and pulled me closer to him until I stood up to him.

"Lee ..." he whispered in my ears. I shrugged my shoulders and closed my eyes. His breath touched my neck and suddenly I felt something cold going through my whole body. "What's wrong?" He asked and I let my shoulders hang back normally and my eyes opened.

"Huh?"

"Why can't I go in?" He let go of my hand and looked at me.

"Uuh .. .uuhh..uuhh .."

"Uuh ... what?" He repeated me, okay, don't you have that times when you have to come up with something but don't know what to say so you say the first thing that comes to your mind or something you've heard for the last time?

"Having so much girlfriends!" I said out of nowhere. hand in front of my mouth and ran away,

so in this case, it's the last thing I've heard.

I'm SO stupid. Ew
