Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Fifteen

Alex's POV
I had stood up when Louis closed the door on me. I could hear punching coming from the hall and I started to feel panicked. I turned as I ran my fingers through my messy hair. I caught a glimpse of something sparkling in the corner of my eye.
I looked toward it and found that it was coming from the plastic canister that Louis had thrown earlier. I walked over to it and picked it up. I noticed the sparkling had come from a small metal chain. I pulled it out of the container, revealing a small silver pendant in the shape of a dove. I turned it over to find an inscription. It read,
To Louis,
With Love,
Mum

"Louis." I whispered gently, even though there was no one there.

I walked over to the door when I heard yelling coming from the hallway.
I turned the door knob and peeked through. Staring as Louis held Niall over the railing.
Then suddenly Louis chucked Niall over the railing and he fell to the floor. Louis turned around slumped to the floor. He began looking up and toward my door.

I quickly turned and pushed myself away from the door. Thankfully he didn't see me.
I sat on the floor with my head in my knees and my fingers wrapped around the small metal chain of Louis's.
I was about to walk out of my room when I heard the creak of a door. Footsteps echoed through the crack of my bedroom door. The shuddering of the house should have frightened me but it just made me worried for whoever was the one being used to shudder the house.

"You don't touch him. Ever!" Niall yelled angrily. "Got it?" He continued and then it sounded like he and somebody else walked off.

I got up off the ground and walked toward the door. Opening it a little I peeked out to find Zayn lying on the ground just outside my door. I swung the door open and rushed over to him.

"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Just leave me alone!" I backed away as he yelled. He got up and stalked away.
What was that about?
I walked down the hall to Louis's room and stopped at the doorway, finding him fast asleep.
Niall walked into view and saw me standing there.

"I saw what he did to you." I spoke.

"Yeah, well. I deserved it."

"You did. But at least you can admit it. I know plenty of guys, and not one of them can admit they are wrong."

"Thanks, I think." We both chuckled a bit and then I stepped inside.

"I am sorry about what I did to you." He strolled over to me and began talking again, "I know I shouldn't of taken those choices away from you, but I couldn't have you hating me. I am truly sorry." He stroked the hair behind my ear and cupped my chin in his hand.

"If you let him punch you so you could get on my good side, it worked." He held me close.

"Don't you think its gross switching from son to father?"

"I don't think that rule applies to vampires."

Both of his hands were cupping my chin now as he leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips. He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"You're so beautiful, Alex." He kissed me again before he walked away and out the door.

I was left standing there wanting more.

"Well, well, well. It looks like someone's not doing their job. He'll have to try harder if he wants to stay on my good side. I might even have to kill him if he doesn't do what he's supposed to. Louis, I'm talking about." I spun around when the voice spoke but could find them nowhere.

Suddenly a body emerged from the shadows. Masculine and sturdy, that same hard chest.

"Harry?"
