Chapter 25- Ordered away

I stayed up the whole night watching, or waiting, if you wanna call it. I want her to come. I actually do.

"Alice, what are you doing?" I hear Harry ask still clearly tired. Jojo sits up when I click the sliding glass door unlocked and open it. I step out side and look everywhere around the balcony. Jojo barks and I hear Harry shush him and reassure him.

When I come back in and close the door, I lock it and look at him. He was hung over the side of the bed with his arm reached down as he pet Jojo's head.

"You look tired still." he comments.

I wanted to bite back and say something sarcastic but decide not to. "I stayed up the entire night. She was here. She knows I'm still with you. Thats why she didn't do anything." I say coldly and sit on the edge of the bed by his legs.

"If she was here than why didn't you go get her?" he asks.

I think of a short way to word my answer. "Because Liam wouldn't believe me if I explained I killed his girlfriend because she was a vampire." I say and he makes an o shape with his mouth as he didn't quite fully speak.

"I guess now I have to." I sigh and stand up. "I'll drive you." he says and I look at him. He had a slight smirk on his face and then winks. I don't crack a smile like it used to.

***

"What if she's there when we get there and she goes for you? Are you sure-"

"Yes, Alice. If she hurts me, I don't fucking care. I was the moron who asked her to kill me back in America. Besides, me helping you brings some of my sanity back at leased. And if she did, then Liam would have no choice but to be convinced." he says a little irritated.

I keep my mouth shut the rest of the way to Liams house.

He answers the door and I swallow nervously. "Um... I didn't know you guys were stopping by." he says and lets us in.

"Yeah um... we need to talk to you." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "About?" he asks.

"Sophie." I answer. "The bitch..." Harry mutters and I send him a glare. "Shut up." I hiss under my breath and he smirks.

I ignore him and look back at Liam. "Have you noticed any strange behavior or anything?" I ask.

"She's always been kind of weird but nothing unusual. Why?" he asks.

"Well um... Harry um... she-"

I stop in frustration of my sleech disorder.

Harry smacks his forehead to his palm. "Liam, your dating a vampire who's trying to kill all of us." Harry says bluntly and I look at Harry surprised. Liam look confused and irratated. "This is a joke right?" he says.

"Yes Liam. She turned me into a blood sucker, which I passed out on stage from not drinking, and then turned into a pathetic mortal because my body had a reaction to wolf blood and about killed the one I care for. So yes, I'm completely joking Liam." he says with a highly sarcastic tone and a fake smile.

Harry's talking through me off guard. I wasn't expecting him to get that way.

Liam remained quiet but then sighs as he looks in front of him.

From his thoughts, he didn't believe us. So I grab Harrys hand and push his sleeve up above his wrist. "Which hand is it?" I ask him and he gives me his other hand. I pull up the sleeve to show Liam his bite mark from her. "Put the pieces together Liam. You can't read his mind. He has no idea what's going on inbetween us. Please believe me." I say and let go of Harry's arm.

"But I love her, and she'd never hurt me." he says almost in a mumble.

"I know Liam but..  she hurt Eleanor in Chicago and told me she was created by my sister because she knew she couldn't stand against 6 wolves. Liam, she hijacked the plane and caused Niall's death and she's been after Harry for quite some time. She has easy access to any of you guys. She knows you wouldn't hurt her and Niall and Harry can't do anything leaving me, Zayn, and Louis." I say trying to say it as light as possible. I know what heartbreak is like and don't want Liam to go through the same process. Liams always been kind to me. I hope he doesn't think I'm just here to bare the bad news and leave. I want him to think I'm doing him a favor.

"So what do you want me to do?" he asks faintly.

Harry reaches behind me and touches his shoulder. "Liam, you have to let her go or she's going to tear all of us up, including you." Harry warns.

Liam sighs and looks at the end table in front of him. "I'll talk to her." he mumbles.

"I'm sorry Liam." he says and Liam nods. "Do the others know?" he asks and I nod.

I shake his shoulder a little bit in a cheer up kind of way. I knew it wasn't gonna work but I didn't want him to hate us.

"I'm really sorry Liam." I whisper and he stands up. "I'll talk to her. Don't worry about it." he says and we both stand up. I smellt the betrayal and sorrow on him. He was trying to cover it up.

"Well, see you later Liam." I say and offer him a hug. Harry never seemed to have problems when I hugged one of the boys, until now. He clears his throat and tugs my arm, signalling to get out.

"What's that all about?" I ask and tug my arm away before the car. He just looks at me by his door. "What? Did you not want me to hug him even though we both look like the bad guy in this situation?" I ask.

"Get in the car." he instructs.

"Wow Harry. That's just sad." I say and get in the seat. "Well, sorry for still caring about you." he says sarcastically.

I don't answer but I had tons to say.

"Say something." he orders.

"I have nothing to say." I lie.

"Knowing you, you have a lot to say so spit it out." he orders again.

"Okay, you really think I'm gonna get with Liam or something? I don't want anyone else, Harry. I'm not making another mistake and risk getting hurt. We're not together so I can hug any one I damn well please." I shout.

Harry pauses for a minute. "So you think of me as just a mistake?" he asks and I realise what I had said.

"Harry i-"

"No. I understand everything." he says and slams the door shut once in the driveway.

"Harry. Wait!" I call as I quickly get out of the car. He was already at the door.

I walk in after him. "You know, if I'm that much of a waste to you then why don't you just leave? I don't need your "protection" anymore." he says harshly.

I suddenly vulnrable and weak. He's ordering me away...

"H-harry." I stutter but he cuts me off. "I'm done too. If all thats gonna happen is us argue and tear each other up then why don't you go? I'm done trying when nothing more happens because you're too damn stubborn to let anyone try! Nialls not coming back, Alice. So I don't know who you're still waiting on but you just lost the one thing that's in front of you. I've tried hard, Alice. I really have. Did you forget the one who chased you in the pouring rain when you ran away, and hand fed you when you were sick, and managed to bring you out of your suicidal mission? Am I that much of a waste to you that everything I've done means absolutely nothing?" he raises his voice.

I can't believe how much of an immediate affect he had on me now. The tears were coming and not going to stop.

"Harry please listen-"

"No! Go! And take your dog too!" he says walking passed Jojo and into the kitchen.

"Cmon Jojo." I say patting my leg and he trots up to my side and stops.

I finish the note I started and toss it on Harry's bed before walking down stairs. Zayn was already here and waiting.

I walk up to Harry who didn't seem to take notice of my presence since his head was burried in his hands as he leaned over the counter. "Bye Harry." I say hoping for his acknowledgement but after a moment of him not even flinching, I wipe away my cheek and walk up to Zayn. "I'm ready." I say and Zayn takes the bag off my shoulder and hangs it over his before we walk out. Jojo follows to the car and jumps up in the back seat.

It's a long ride home to his house. We didn't talk but I could tell by the emptiness in Zayns head that he was reading my thoughts.

Harry's absolutely right though. I've always been too stubborn to see real life around me.
