Harry saw someone step into Alexis's office
He got up and walked over opening one of the French doors, it was Alexis, she was a little later than normal but thing is...
she was off today
Harry told her she could relax and take the day off she deserved it after the night she had
Her sister's ex-husband broke in looking for her and the kids apparently last time Melissa talked to him she told him she was staying with her sister
Which lead him to stalk Alexis and break into her apartment
While he was there he destroyed the place breaking most of her makeup, tearing her bed apart, and throwing clothes out of her closet he had a full blown melt down even punching random holes in her walls ,but she's yet to see that Harry managed to convince the cops to let him in he took pictures of all the makeup that was ruined and ordered all of it last night
She was in jeans and a tee shirt the cops packed her a bag so she didn't go in and disturb the crime scene she had no choice of what she was wearing
Harry walked straight to her leaning down "darling..." he started softly "what are you doing here?"
She looked up at him forcing a small smile "I have work" she tried to login in
He shook his head grabbing her chin to make her look at him "I told you you could have today off you had a long night"
"You were up just as long as I was" Alexis mumbled
Harry stayed until Brandie came to pick up Alexis at 2 am just to keep an eye on her she knew that but she didn't know he stayed past that
"That's not what I meant you're drained dear, emotionally, what happened was very taxing"
The pet names made Alexis weaker, it softened her already damaged will power "I'm okay"
He rubbed her cheek "you're not" he was having a really hard time holding himself together he took his hand back and started to pace "I knew it wasn't safe" he groaned "I knew this was going to happen and I just let it happen"
Alexis furrowed her eyebrows "you didn't do anything sir nothing about this was your fault"
He sighed deeply "it fucking is I knew I DAMN WELL KNEW"
She jolted not being braced as she usually was "but they found him and he's in jail now" that was the reassuring statement she repeated to herself over and over to try n' feel better
"He was a fucking moron" Harry hissed "anyone with more than 2 brain cells could have broken it in and been smart enough to lock the door then you would have just walked in and been hurt AND ALL I DID TO HELP WAS CALL IT" he was so incredibly dismayed over the fact he knew she wasn't safe but didn't provide any help
"Harry!" She stood "you're more upset than I am" she was shocked
"He could have hurt you!" He turned back to her
"But he didn't!"
Harry stepped to her leaning down for perfect eye contact "to know there was even a possibility that you could have been hurt is enough to make me sick"
Alexis didn't know what to say she just looked into his eyes they betrayed his angry face they showed how worried and disturbed he was under that mask
"Where are you staying?" He asked his familiar monotone didn't really comfort her
She swallowed "Uh m-my friends Brandie and April said I could stay a few nights..."
"Come stay with me"
She shook her head "I couldn't do that to you, both of them said I could couch surf until I feel comfortable enough to go home"
"You'll have your own bedroom room, bathroom, and my help at your service"
She furrowed her eyebrows "I just- I don't wanna impose..."
He admitted "I'd feel better if you were where I could watch you" as soon as he said it he regretted it maybe the phrasing 'so I could keep an eye on you' would have been less abrasive
Alexis really didn't take notice though
She hugged herself she really didn't wanna go home, Brandie's sofa was horrible her back was killing her and not to be rude but Brandie stays up all hours of the night regularly she gets quite loud, April lived with her 2 sisters so their place was full Alexis would be sharing the living room area with 1 of the sisters (the one that snored)
"Okay" she mumbled "thank you I just... I can't go home yet" she teared up a little
Harry frowned deeply and pulled Alexis to his chest "I understand and I wanna help darling" he cooed gently "go head home and pack up okay?"
"B-Brandie dropped me off I don't have my car"
"My driver will bring you home and I'll meet up with you later today then we'll head to mine alright?" He pulled away looking down at her
She nodded "okay" she leaned back in to hug him again
He wrapped his arms around her again "whenever you're ready" he mumbled

Alexis had a long hard cry seeing all her makeup broken and busted as well as her room torn to shreds everything she'd worked so hard to get
She cleaned up a bit washing the blood, makeup, and shoe prints off her bedding
She even realized he had stolen all the money she had tucked away in her jewelry box along with most of her jewelry (which by right she had nabbed from her mother fair and square so it was hers)
She had to make a call to the detective to tell him what was missing and the best he could do was try to get a confession out of him about taking them and if that worked out they might be able to get a location of where they were but he quickly added that she shouldn't get her hopes up
She was sitting at the end of her bed ,the only fresh and clean thing in her room, with the piles of clothes from the floor set on it
She was back to using her jansport book bag ,her Gucci luggage was also taken (go figure)
The door bell went off she pulled on her book bag then walked to the door wiping her face on the inside of her shirt she opened it to Harry and Hanley "hey" she murmured
"Hello" he sighed seeing the book bag on her back "is the rest in your room?"
"This is it"
He shook his head "you need to pack more"
"I'll only be there a night or 2" she shrugged sluggishly
"Mm" he took the book bag off her passing it to Hanley "take her bag we'll be a minute you can wait in the car" he nodded
Harry guided her back to her room "is anything else missing?" He asked grabbing a random bag from the floor setting it on the bed
"My jewelry and my emergency money"
He sighed heavily "I'm sorry how much?"
"Just a thousand" she shrugged
Harry nodded as he picked up pieces of her clothes folding them placing them in the bag, trying to get necessities like undergarments and things that looked well worn (odds are she liked those the most) "and your jewelry?"
"Most of it was my mother's..." she was happy she had her fathers necklace and the wedding ring he gave her mother on her at all times
"I'm very sorry" he sighed he could always replace the missing cash but he couldn't bring back her mother's jewelry
He zipped up the bag and put it on his shoulder "we can always come back and get anything else you need Alexis"
She shook her head "I'll be only at your place for a few days at most" she sounded like she was trying to reassure him
"Mm I'd rather you stay indefinitely"
