Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 49

"You need to stop seeing Alex." She says. She has the mind of a tiny bean if she believes that.

"Not happening." I bark back.  I really don't get how she can believe that.

"Then in the next hour the press will know everything about your baby and how your mother paid her to date you." She squints and challenges me.

If I agree to this, Alex's whole life will be turned upside down. Her social life will expire, reporters will follow her everywhere she goes and the worst moments of our life we will be out there forever.

"You will get arrested." I yell. I can't do this. I can't agree to not seeing her but I can't risk her life being ruined.

"You will never have a future with her." She is evil. No, she is institute crazy. She needs to be locked up.

If I tell her to suck it she will leak those and Alex will never have a life where her history with me doesn't follow close behind. If I agree, I don't think I can make it without seeing her.

"Okay Tilly. Fuck me! Okay."

Alex's POV

When I wake up and go downstairs for a cup of coffee, the house is spotless. I still can't believe I managed to pull that off with one hand but I am glad I did. I feel as if my mother will feel at peace when the house she loved is like she loves it and not forgotten and tossed aside.

I open the fridge for some milk and there is none.

I need to go out and buy some.

I also need a change of clothes. Target down the street is the best choice I guess.

I put my hair up the best way I can, cringing at the staples that need to be removed by the end of the week. The doctor advised me to rest and not be alone and be careful when I shower. So far I did none, how great.

I pull and try to smooth the clothes I take out the dryer. Sleeping in nothing at a new house was not a very good idea. I can tell by the ache in my throat.

I wear my clothes back and see Harry's ring beside the sink. I had taken it off when I started cleaning. I leave it there. I don't put it on.

Last night I got the first uninterrupted sleep without any nightmares since LA. I want to keep it that way, especially after Harry declared the fact that he wanted nothing to do with me.

My phone is dead when I get out onto the street with it left in the house. I need to get a charger also and call Avery. I doubt that anyone has called me. Erin is probably the only thing he is concerned with at the moment and beside him, there is literally no one that would check up on me.

I walk to Target and get a shopping cart. I load it with food enough for a week and then grab a pair of jeans, a few underwear, socks and a few shirts. I get a charger for my phone and get some Vaseline to put on my bruised knees. They are as purple as eggplants.

I walk to the cashier and start to unload my cart. I notice the cashier is not scanning the products when I look up and see Oliver in front of me.

"Alex?" He asks, smiling from ear to ear.

"Ollie?!" I ask as the feeling of familiarity and warmth fills me.

I reach above to cashier and hug him. Oliver was our next door neighbor. I have known him since I can remember. His father was my mothers best friend in college and they had bought the houses in Philly together as a summer vacation spot since Oliver's grandparents lived here.

Oliver's mom had left them before I was born so I never knew her but Oliver's dad, Jackson was the most loving man I knew. He was always there when we needed him, waiting with open arms.
