Tell Me A Lie

"What do you want!" Alexis exclaimed through the phone.

"I just want to see how my favorite girl is doing, I heard you're back in London. I missed you so much." the man on the other line said.

"I am not your girl nor will I ever be. Just leave me alone." she said, gritting her teeth.

"Don't worry I'll leave you alone for now but just remember this. You can't get rid of me that easily and if you tell anyone about this I will hurt the person that is most special to you. Yeah that's right, your brother. So you better watch your back because you might not know when I'm going to strike." he said with an evil chuckle before hanging up.

Alexis couldn't believe what just happened, 'how the hell did he find out my number?" she thought, running a hand through her hair.

That night she couldn't sleep, she kept tossing and turning in her bed. When she got to the conclusion that she wasn't going to fall asleep anytime soon, she got out of bed and went outside for some fresh air and to clear her mind.

Harry's P.O.V

I couldn't seem to fall asleep. I kept thinking of this dream i had last night. Whenever I close my eyes the image of Alex as a girl kept popping out.

'I think I need some air' I though, then got up and went outside.

It was a beautiful night, the sky was full of stars and you could see the full moon shining bright. I walked out the door a little more when I saw a figure seating at the front porch.

"Can't sleep either huh?" I asked.

The person turned around and I recognized that it was Alex.

"Oh hey Harry, c'mon join me." he said patting the space beside him

"Sure" I said then took a seat next to him.

"It's a beautiful night tonight huh?" he said, looking up at the stars.

I took a look at him and he looked so stunning under the moonlight.

I felt my heart pound against my chest as continued to stare at him.

'What is wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast?' I thought, gripping at my chest.

"Hey Harry you OK?" Alex said snapping me out of my trance.

"Uh yeah, just thinking." I replied.

"So Harry, what's been bothering you?" he asked.

"Oh nothing, I just had a weird dream." I shrugged nonchalantly.

"You wanna talk about it?" he asked looking at me.

"No it's alright, what about you? What's been bothering you?" I asked, changing the attention from me to him.

"I honestly can't tell you even if I want to." He said sighing.

"Why is that?" I asked looking at him confused.

"It's kinda complicated" he sighed.

"OK" I said giving up.

"Harry," Alex said after a while of silence.

"yeah?" I asked.

"I wanna ask you something." he said facing me.

"What is it?" I asked, scrunching my eyebrows a little.

"What if you are in a situation wherein a person that you hate so much returns to your life and threatens you that if you tell anyone about it he'll hurt the person you love the most. What would you do?" he asked seriously.

"Honestly I would tell someone so at least I won't have to carry it alone. I would also probably tell the police so that he could be arrested and not harm anyone that I love." I replied.

"But Harry it's not that easy." He said.

"Why?" I asked, clearly confused on how he was acting.

"I really can't tell you Harry it's too complicated." he said clearly upset.

I decided to just keep quiet and not push the subject any further.

We stayed quiet for a few minutes when I notice Alex starting to fall asleep. His head was drooping to the side so I caught it with my shoulder.

"Alex," I said shaking him slightly to wake him but he was already fast asleep.

I looked at his face and couldn't help but stare. My gaze then fell upon his lips. It seemed to be drawing me closer and closer and then our lips almost touched.

'Why do I have a strong urge to kiss him?" I asked myself.

"Whoa" I exclaimed, snapping out of my trance and scooted away from him.

His head slowly fell and hit the floor, effectively waking him up.

"Harry why did you do that?" he whined rubbing the area where he hit the floor.

"S-sorry I-I thought I saw something." I stuttered out.

'Why am I acting like this? I almost kissed him again! What is wrong with me?!' many thoughts wee running through my mind.

"Uhm maybe we should go to bed I think we're both sleepy" I said, quickly getting up.

"OK well, goodnight Harry" he said heading inside but stopped at the door and faced me.

"Thank you Harry." he said hugging me.

It took me off guard but I also wrapped my arms around him.

We broke apart and got inside and went to our respective rooms.

As I lay in my bed I still struggled to fall asleep thinking of what was wrong with me.

'I can't be gay! I can't be falling for Alex. I just can't. Maybe I should get a girlfriend. Yeah that would take my mind off of Alex.' I thought as sleep finally took over.

The next morning

Zayn's P.O.V

I was woken up from my nice sleep by the coming from downstairs. I turned over in bed, staring up at the ceiling, trying to hear what all the ruckus was about.

'What are they up to?' I asked myself, then got out of bed and went downstairs to check. I rubbed my eyes sleepily as i walked towards where the noises were coming from.

I was greeted by four bedhead maniacs in the kitchen.

"Morning Zayn." They greeted when they saw me.

"Morning. what's with all the ruckus?" I asked.

"Nothing we just wanna prepare a nice breakfast for all of us. Wanna help Zayn?" Liam said.

"Sure, what am I gonna do?" I asked him, looking around the kitchen.

"Why don't you squeeze the orange to make orange juice." Louis said.

I nodded, pulling out the juicer from the cabinet and then took out the oranges from the fridge.

I sliced up the oranges and put them in the juicer. When I was done I poured it in a pitcher and placed it in the fridge.

I looked at the others to see what they were doing. Louis and Liam were flipping some pancakes, Niall was making the omelet and Harry was baking some cupcakes and cookies.

I noticed Harry was oddly quiet, it was so not like him. Usually he sings when he bakes. I sat down beside him and noticed how he looked as if he didn't sleep well last night.

"Hey mate you alright?" I asked him with concern.

"Huh what? Oh Zayn, yeah I'm fine mate just thinking." He said snapping out of his somewhat trance.

"You sure? You seem to be out of yourself." I said as I continued to study him.

"I'm fine, just tired." he said, offering a small smile.

A few minutes later we saw a rather grouchy looking Alex coming down the stairs.

"Morning" we said in unison.

"Morning" He grumbled then slumped at the chair beside me.

"What's gotten into you? Got up on the wrong side of the bed?" I joked.

"shut up" Alex said, playfully punching my arm.

"Alex's not a morning person." Liam explained.

"Hey Lexi, why don't you eat this first while waiting for the food." Niall said placing a sandwich in front of him.

"Thanks Niall." Alex said giving him a smile.

"Hey, what about me?" I asked.

"We could share if you want." Alex offered, giving me half the sandwich.

I took a bite of the sandwich and so as did Alex.

"Niall what sandwich is this?" Alex asked discomfort showing clearly on his face.

"Peanut butter and jelly, why?" he said, confused.

Alex's eyes widened as he grabbed his neck then started coughing and wheezing as he fell from his chair.

We immediately went by his side, helping him up.

"Alex are you OK?" Liam asked looking at him worried.

"EpiPen." that was the only thing he could choke out.

Liam got the message then turned to me, "Zayn hurry, go to Alex's bed and get his EpiPen from his sidetable drawer." Liam instructed me as he rubbed Alex's back, trying to offer some comfort.

I rushed into his room and rampaged through his drawer until I found the EpiPen, as I grabbed it something fell from the floor. I picked it up and couldn't believe what I saw.
