Her Cousin **ON HOLD**

Alice's POV

"Jess! Alice! Open up!" Harry yelled for the hundredth time. His banging on the door was relentless and to be honest, quite fucking annoying.

"I'm not in the fucking mood to toy with Harry! Go away!" I yelled back. I heard him laugh on the other side, and the pounding stopped.

When I thought he left, the door came flying down and Harry had a triumphant smile on his face. I rolled my eyes, and got up and walked over the the bathroom.

He followed, footsteps string and loud. "We need to talk." He whispered into my ear.

"About what?" I croaked. His hand found it's way to my waist, turning me around to face him. My eyes faced the floor.

He pulled me into a right embrace, string and tight. His hold was warm and comforting.

I pulled away, and wiped the last single cheek rolling down my cheek and smiled. He lightly laughed, and so did I.

"About this." He said leasing me to the living room, pointing to Jess and Tobi on the couch. I laughed and threw a bottle of water at them.

"Hey! No sex on my couch!" I said. Jess pulled away, them both flushed.

Harry dragged me to the kitchen, with a phone in hand. He held it to my face to read, and I pushed it away.

"What is this." I hissed.

"Tobi. His phone. He's gonna do something horrible to Jessica."

"No, no he's not." I replied. "Have you seen the way their clung to each other's hip? There's no way he's doing anything against her. She's actually happy you know. Just cause she is, doesn't mean you have to ruin it cause you're not." I said, ending up snapping.

"How do you know I'm unhappy?" He smirked and stepped closer. I leaned against the counter, and pulled my shirt down that was rising up. "I know you are."

"I am not."

"Don't lie, Alice." He breathed and took a last step towards me, pinning us against the counter. "I know you're in pain. I get it. You're human. Don't hide it."

"Harry..." I sighed and pushed his hair back that was drooping. "I'm not hiding it, I'm choosing to cover it up."

"You shouldn't." He said and grabbed my hands, wrapping them around his neck. "Someone can help. I can help."

"What? With Niall you mean? You tried helping and it didn't help, remember?" I asked as he placed his hands on my waist.

"Shit." He muttered. "How'd you know?"

"I have my ways." I smirked.

"I'm serious Alice."

"I know you are." I said and tried my best to blink back some more tears. "I just feel a little bipolar now a days with you and Niall. You guys are driving me insane."


Niall's POV

My hands shook as I lightly shut the door. I turned to instantly face Jessica.

"What." She growled.

"Alice. Where is she." I demanded. Alice was my main priority.

Alice.

The Alice I saw in the club months ago who was teasing Harry.

The Alice that laughed at all my jokes on our first date that night. Probably cause we were both nervous.

The Alice that would always joke about my hair or laugh.

The Alice that was snippy. And tough. And independent.

The Alice I loved.

I don't know how I came to, but it happened. And it's fucked.

Of course I would fall in love with a girl who has more drama then any other person, but I guess...you fall for her, you have to deal with it.

"Get out Niall. She neither do I want to see you right now." Jessica spat.

"But-"

"No, before I throw your ass out."

"No."

"No?"

"Yea, no. I'm not giving up that easily. Especially for Alice." I protested.

"You had your chance with her, and you blew it. Now, bye!" Jessica's voice started to raise.

Then, I heard that laugh that always got my heart beating. I knew it was her laugh by how perfect it was. Cheesy much? Yep..

I followed it, through the house, and then it stopped. Stopped completely.

What?

I kept walking and the kitchen was before me. Just a door separated her and I. A piece of wood.

"I know I affect you." I heard Harry say.

"Really? Yep, it's because you're such an asshole. You didn't catch onto that yet?" Alice replied. A smile creeped onto my face. There she was. My girl.

"No, I can feel your heart rate pick up. Right here." They laughed.

Alice squealed. "I think you just like to touch here. Pervert."

"Especially after those picture. Fuck yeah."

"Creep."

"I have needs. Just as much as you." Harry said. "Do you think anyone could fulfill those needs as well as I am?"

"H-Harry..." Alice stuttered.

"Do you?"

"N-no."

Are they?.... I don't know. I could literally feel my heart jump out of my chest and run away and hide.

It feels broken.

And hurt.

And betrayed.

I backed away and turned. I ran throughout the endless amount if hallways until I found Jessica on her phone in the living room.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." She laughed.

"A-Alice and Harry..." I trailed off.



Harry's POV

Alice ran down the hallway, laughing like there's no tomorrow. Why? I don't know....she's acting like she's drunk. But she didn't touch a drop of alcohol.

Suddenly she stopped, and turned around. A bottle of whiskey was brought up to her lips and she took a huge swig. "Want some?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"What?! No! Where did you get that!" I screeched.

She laughed and took another huge swig. "I have a secret alcohol draw you know. I know every way to get to it."

"Alice. You're drunk. Give me that." I sternly said and reached for it. She pulled her arm behind her, and leaned back. I leaned over her for it, and she fell to the floor. "Stop." I said, cradling her cheeks in my hand. A tear slid down her cheek, and she sighed. "Stop. Give me it."

"Go away." She pouted. "Just leave me be."

"No." I said. "I will not go away. You need someone, Alice. I don't know why all of sudden you decided to show your emotions, but I'm here."

"H-Harry." Her hand layed on top of mine, and my forehead pressed to hers as I squated in front of her. "I don't know. I don't know what to do."

"Sure you do, you're just stubborn as hell."

A smile formed at her lips and no more tears came. "We fucked up bad, didn't we?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm pretty sure Niall's here." She laughed.

Shit.

"And I really don't wanna talk to him right now." She laughed again. "Take me away!" She giggled and tugged at the collar of my shirt.

"Stop." I whispered. I didn't need Niall or whoever the fuck was here hearing our conversation.

"He's here! The mother fuckers here!" She said, beginning to shout. "In my house! In my fucking house!"

"Alice stop. Now." I said and began to pull her up. She giggled and plopped back down.

Suddenlly, she let out an ear piercing scream and laughed. Footsteps echoed through the house as she grabbed my hand and pulled me down to her. "Time to show him." She smirked.

"What? What are you talking about?!" I asked. She laughed, and pretty soon we heard the pounding right outside where we were.

"This."

And her lips met mine.

Instinctively, I kissed her back...cause you know...whatever. Then, I heard a gasp.

"I knew it." Niall said. Shock was etched onto his face and his eyes glossed over. "I broke up with Barbara for you."

"Fuck you!" Alice giggled. "There he is! He's right there!" She laughed, and laughed while Niall stood there confused. "He's right here! In my fucking house! It's great!" She kissed my cheek, and tried to stand up. I helped her, and she stumbled over to Niall.

"A-are you drunk?" He whispered, and connected their foreheads. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and his arms held her waist. She giggled and nodded.

"As a mother fucker." She whispered.

Niall chuckled, and held her up. Her body leaned into him, and I could tell he was holding his breath with every fumble she took.

"Mate, have fun." I said. He nodded at me and smiled.

The last thing I saw was her lips meeting his.
