Happily (n)ever after

Alexis' p.o.v.

I tried calling Phoebe for the 5th time.

"Come on pick up!" I said/yelled into my phone.

"Having some trouble?" Someone asked

I turned around and faced the person who asked, oh god not him. "I...I'm looking for my sister Phoebe. Did you see her?" I asked Harry

"Oh yes she went home with some of my friends" he smiled

"But how am I supposed to get home now?" I asked myself

"I could give you a ride" Harry suggested

"I don't know" I hesitated. I mean he's a complete stranger.

"I promise you that I'm not a rapist or serial killer and I'm your neighbor"

I nodded, he's right. I don't really have another option. We got to his car and he started a conversation.

"So how do you like London so far?" He asked

"I like it although the weather sucks. I can't handle the cold" I told him honestly

"Wow just imagine the winter"

"I'm going to freeze till death, aren't I?"

He chuckled "Maybe you could dress warmer and you'll get used to it eventually"

He parked the car, I thanked him and got out of the car. I got my keys out and tried to open the door. Harry rolled down the window and shouted "Try not to kill anyone with pots tonight" He smirked and drove away.

Right there and then I wanted to slam my face into something. "What are you doing outside Alex? And where's Phoebe?" mom asked

'Phoebe? she is supposed to be here. She left before me' I thought "Well she is driving some friends home because they didn't have a ride" I told mom

"That's nice of her" Mom said " Oh and before I forget the neighbors are coming over for dinner. Tell you sister that and dress nicely." She said disappearing into the kitchen.

I went to my room and tried calling her again, again and again but no answer. It was 8 and the the neighbors were downstairs. "Alexis, Phoebe come downstairs" Dad said. I Put my earrings in and went downstairs without Phoebe. I had no idea about what to say to my parents.

A familiar smirk welcomed me in the living room. "This is our youngest daughter Alexis" Dad said.

"I'm Anne and this is my husband Robin." They both greeted me.

"It's nice to meet you" I said

"And this is their son Harry" Mom said

"We've met" He told our parents "We go to the same school"

"Doesn't that work out great" His dad said

"The food is getting cold. We should eat" Mom suggested

"Where are your friends?" I whispered following our parents

He looked confused "What?"

"My sister hasn't come home yet. The last thing I know is that she went away with your friends" I told him

We sat down "Alexis where is your sister?" mom asked.

"She is picking up Faith" It slipped out of my mouth. I don't think I have ever lied this much to anyone. My phone started ringing.

"Phoebe?" I asked

"Help me I don't know where I am?" She slurred. Oh great she's drunk.

"Oh no" I said

"What happened?" Anne asked

"Um Phoebe has some car troubles and my brothers don't seem to pick their phones up so I need to get my sisters." I lied yet again. I think it's becoming a habit.

"I can help you since you need a car" Harry said.

I gave him a confused look but he winked. Oh he probably knows where she is. "That would be so kind of you Harry" I said

"Well lets go"
