Hidden

Chapter nineteen

ALEXI'S P.O.V

I turn around hesitantly, to see Harry and Louis. Both looking at me with concerned expressions. I don't think they even heard what Eleanor said which is a relief I suppose.

Harry holds me gently by my shoulders.

"What are those scars!?"

Ugh. When I ran into that fake - by which I mean, Eleanor, I forgot all about running away from the boys!

"They...they are... nothing!" I stammer, my brain desperately trying to find an excuse.

My mind is blank, so I panic and try to escape. Instead I bump into Louis.

"What are they??" He demands. Then in a softer and cautious tone he says, "Are you...are you hurting yourself?"

I freak out when I hear him say that. Why does everyone immediately assume i hurt myself??
"NO! Seriously why does everyone think that??" I scream at him.
"Well then tell me where they are from then!" He screams back.
Wow, he has a really loud and girly voice. That's really funny. But also kinda cute...WAIT WHAT. BACK TO REALITY.

"Well maybe I will!" I shout.
"Well do that then!" Shouts Louis.
"Who cares where they are from?! We all know she's doing it to herself, which is understandable judging by her...looks..." says a voice suddenly.
I know exactly who's voice it is, and I'm soooooo mad right now.
I spin around to see Eleanor's smirking face. Which, might I add, has no more fake tears in sight.
"Oh is someone upset?" She asks with a monotone laugh.
I see red and slap her.

Oh no...I can't believe I actually slapped her! I stare at her, wide-eyed.
"I'm so sorry!" I gasp.
Quickly I glance around at the two boys to see how horrified the boys are.
I'm shocked to see Harry smirking at Eleanor. "Hah, you had that one coming Eleanor!" He laughs.
My heart feels a bit lighter and then I see Louis' angry face. My heart sinks down like a setting sun.
That is, until he speaks.
"El!!!! Why are you being so rude??"
"Well she always is rude, don't you ever notice it? Why is it such a surprise to you Louis?" Harry says immediately.
"Shut up Harry!" Eleanor snaps at him.
"No, you do that! Just for a few minutes! Please!" Louis groans with his head in his hands. He looks exhausted. I can't blame him though.
Eleanor looks shocked. "Well then. I'm going to my room. Louis, you can come once you've cooled off."
And then she stalks off with her nose in the air. But not before pushing me so hard that I plop onto the ground like a raindrop.
