Harry's Pov

"Well, to be honest, shes kinda skinny and pale, she dosent seem too healthy" i say to my father on the call,

"Treat her with everything she wants and protect her, I tried to not let the news of you being in new york spread out but it did, so be careful and make sure she eats properly" comes back the reply, dad's not speaking in a rough and stiff voice anymore, this time it was filled with concern and worriness.

Dad hangs up the call, I walk outside the room and knock on alexis's door, its silent.

Worried of what dad said, i start banging on the door as charles stands beside me, trying to convincing me that nothing happened as he had been guarding her room since we came back.

The door suddenly opens a bit, Alexis peaks and gets a wave of relief as she sees me,

"Oh, hey" she mutters with a dry throat,

"What happened?" I ask, worried with sweat on my face dripping down to my shoes,

"How long have u been standing here? Sorry I was asleep" she replied while letting go of the door and standing face to face with me,

"Dosent matter, just go freshen up, we'll head downstairs for lunch" I say,

"Your not gonna take no for an answer are you?" She asks as the last hope,

"Nope, he's Charles, follow him downstairs" i say as i point at charles with my hands, she looks at him as i walk towards the elevator.

I head down and sit on the table i had reserved

Soon, charles and alexis head downstairs and he pulls a seat for her in front of me,

"Anything on your mind for lunch?" I ask wondering how shes feeling

"Not really" she replies in a low voice,

"What's your favourite food?" I ask, trying for her to open up and tell me about herself,

"Anything, nothing in particular. You can order" she replies and starts to look around,

"Fine" I reply, thinking that it might be too soon for her to open up, i call for the waiter,

I order some pasta and turn back to her as the waiter walks away after taking my order,
"do you not have a phone?" I ask, normally teenagers would be on their phone but alexis is just sitting bored staring here and there,

"Nope" she replies,

"Alright" I mutter,

"Alexis, how was your life with micheal? Just curious" I ask, I wanted to know how we could treat her better than he did,

"Well he was like a normal father, he didnt want me to have a phone until i turned 18 and he didnt force me to eat like your doing" she replies with a straight face,

I sigh, "i just want the best for you, dont think that im forcing you"

She starts to look around again.

Soon the waiters come and serves the food, i ordered it with extra vegetables just so she could get in some healthy food inside her body and some chicken as protein,

She gulp as she lifts up the fork, she looks up at me as i look at her, waiting to see if she likes it,

She eats it slowly as i look at her, we make eye contact and i immediately shake my head off, i start to proceed with my meal.

Soon i finish and look up, shes not even half way completed, she glanced at my dish and then at hers, she lifts her head to look at me and i immediately start looking everywhere but her eyes.

"Sorry" she mutters, i look into her eyes and see her looking at her food,

"Hey hey, you dont have to be sorry, okay? I will stay here with you as long as it takes and it dosent bother me at all" i say trying to comfort her, something similar happend to Alec and we did this to comfort him.

She gives a small but warm smile, i cant say if it was genuine and i dont want her to be uncomfortable.

I stay there, leaned againt the chair as i look through my phone, I order myelf a coke as alexis refused and conitnued on eating her pasta.

Soon, she finished but she dosent look well.

"Everything okay?" I ask her,

"Yeah" she mutters,

"Well, should we leave now?" I ask, "we can delay if you arent feeling well" i add as i look at her,

"Can we leave in like thirty minutes?" She asks as her face gets a bit tired,

"Of course, you can go back to your room" i say and signal charles to go with her, they both leave and I head out for some work.
