Alex

Three hours.

Three hours from now I'll be sent to a new home. A home with some stranger who I don't know. To have an extravagant wedding and lifestyle, and to have many many children. I feel sick.

I mean I am still an innocent, Louis knew that, Harry did too. I was hoping somewhere in my future Louis would marry me and we'd go on a honeymoon and share the best experience possible. All those wonderful dreams were shot and scattered once John told me I was being SOLD to some rich guy to have his children. It just sounds worse and worse the more I say it.

For the moment I'm in my room getting ready for dinner. There's a light knocking at my door and a small slip of paper slide under the door into my room. Hmm curious. I walk over to the door and slowly pick up the small card, there's a note from Brad on the back "Alex I've got something VERY important to tell you regarding your friends. Go over to the window and pretend to look out until I come in. Please hurry" my heart starts to race at the thought of hearing about the boys.

I quickly bus subtlety walk over to the window and draw back the curtains, the lawn outside is a very pretty view, I should've left this window open more often. A few moments later there is a knock again and Brad quickly steps in. "Won't they see you in here?" I question quickly before he can speak. Brad smiles and holds up his phone it's my room and it's the camera on a loop of me standing by the window. "Smart" I say looking up at him.

"What about the boys? Are they okay?" He nods and smiles "Alex we're going to get you out of here, your not going with Sinclair" my eyes widen at him in surprise "what? Brad I told you not to put them in harm's way!" I shout. When Brad had first told me he'd been meeting with the boys to find a way to get me and Jake out of here, I shot him down. I told him to drop it because I didn't want any of them getting hurt. It also surprised me that Brad was helping them in the first place.

I have a feeling it's about Jake though. Jake's like HIS little brother instead of mine, I know Brad feels that way about Jake. "I'm not putting them in harm's way, I'm doing all the work. They're just sitting and waiting for us to come out after dinner. Please believe me" I nod at his words "how is this going to work?"

Bread slowly and carefully goes over every second of the plan to make sure I completely understand. The only part he leaves out is how I'll get out to the car. All he said is that I'll come up to pack my things and wait to leave. Please know what you're doing Brad. As soon as he leaves I go over to my closet and slip on the dress John told me to wear to dinner.

It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable, the back cuts open all the way to my lower back. It's extremely short and it just thing shoulder straps. So my chest is very exposed. I'm guessing he wants to make an impression with the company. Sinclair and a few of his boys will be joining us for dinner. By boys I mean his dumb guards that follow him everywhere.

The dress in wearing is a blood red color, so just to go the extra mile and to keep all eyes on me instead of Brad and Jake I put on red lipstick to match and put my hair back in a gorgeous bun. So my hair isn't covering my chest at all, it'll be extremely uncomfortable but very worth it if I'm going to get out of here and help Jake be free of this place. I put silver dangly earrings in and slip on a few bracelets before sliding on my red heels. I walk over to the mirror and sigh.

This isn't me at all, but it's for Jake. I want him to be free of this place. I don't care if something goes wrong and I get left here. As long as my brother gets out of here it'll be okay. I know Brad and the boys will take good care of him.

A light knock hits my door and Brad slowly peaks in. He stated at me wide eyes for a moment before putting his serious face back on "Showtime" he says extending a hand to me. I link my arm with his and we head downstairs to the living room to visit for a while before dinner. Please work.

Brad

She's smart I gotta give her that. I know for a fact that Alex wouldn't ever wear what she's wearing if she had a choice in the matter. I have a feeling John picked out her outfit for the night, maybe he's trying to get more money off of her. Sick jerk.

I have to admit it was hard trying to keep.my eyes off of her though. I mean she was absolutely stunning! Louis was constantly reminding me through my earpiece that he'd kill me later for "undressing his girlfriend with my eyes" as he put it. So I went over and had a conversation with one of Sinclair's boys to distract myself, Alex did as well. These guys were worse than me I swear, I mean they were everywhere and they all had their eyes on Alex constantly.

She looked very confident and put together but I could tell.how uncomfortable she was. Just how much she shifted and had to force her hands down so she didn't pull her dress down more or cover herself up. She's trying very hard to keep herself contained. Poor girl.

John comes out a moment later and smiles at everyone "dinner is served" he says stepping out of the way so that everyone could make their way into the dinning hall. I hang back so that I can walk in with Alex but John grabs a hold of her "you look stunning my dear, you will definitely make Mr. Sinclair a very happy man" he winks at her and walks back into the dining hall with everyone else.

As soon as he's gone she looks sick, I wish over to her and keep her from falling over "it's okay Alex, one more hour. One more hour and we're out " I say hugging her tightly. She nods and takes a deep breath "let's get this over with shall we?" I smile and nod. "I'm guessing John picked the outfit right?" I joke trying to make her feel better. She laughs and nods "oh my heck! Yes!" She groans in annoyance "it's so embarrassing wearing this!" she puts her head in her hands.

I laugh and nod "yeah but you sure have everyone's attention" she rolls her eyes at this and nudges my arm "yeah, I have yours too. Don't think I didn't see you eyeing me earlier" she laughs and so do I "oh whatever, let's go before I have to carry you in" she laughs again and heads for the dining room. Step one, complete.
