"Are you ready Alexa?" Harry yells from the bottom of the stairs which seems to echo through the whole house.

"Yes! I'm just putting my shoes on." I yell back while I finish tying the laces on my new Doc Martins. My feet are going to be killing me by the end of the night, new Doc Martins can be assholes.

I decided on wearing a green dress that I found in the closet with long sleeves.

I scan across the bedroom in search for my bag until the realisation dawns on me. I don't have a bag or a phone or a purse. I'm going to a club with the guy that kidnapped me to meet his other friends who have kidnapped girls as well, and are also part of a huge gang might I add. God, I need a drink.

I speed walk out of the room and down the stairs to meet Harry. I reach the bottom of the stairs and find Harry waiting at the bottom, leaning on the railing. He stares at me with his mouth slightly open while his eyes move dangerously slow from the top of my head to the Doc Martins on my feet.

I take in his outfit briefly, his floral-patterned blouse that is hardly buttoned and his black skinny jeans make me want to squeeze my thighs together. "You ready?" I ask, interrupting my own thoughts, along with his.

"Uhm..." He starts, tearing his eyes away from me before rubbing his right eye slightly. "Yeah, sorry. Let's go." He begins making his way to the door that leads to the garage and I follow behind. Of course, he has a black range rover...

He makes his way over to the driver's side of the car and climbs in, I do the same on the passenger side. Once we're both seating in the car with our belts buckled, he starts the car and reverses out of the opening garage.

"How far away is this club?" I ask, glancing out the window. This will be the first time that I get to see what the compound looks like since I haven't left the house at all.

"Not far, probably 5 minutes away." Harry replies with one of his hands on the steering wheel whilst the other is resting in his lap. How the fuck does me make driving look so hot? Stop it, Alexa! I nod to his response.

He clears his throat, "Tonight, please don't go anywhere out of my sight without telling me first."

"Yeah, okay. Am I allowed to drink?" I question, still staring out the window. Each house that we pass is as big as Harry's house, if not bigger.

Harry laughs lightly at my question, "Mhm, just don't get too drunk."

I scoff at his reply, "I'm not one to get drunk off my ass Harry, unless you drug me again." I snicker.

"Then it should be a good night." He says, giving me a closed lipped smile. "We're here."

Harry parks the car before we both climb out of his car. More like I had to parachute out of the car considering I'm not tall in the slightest. We begin walking towards the entrance of the club which has a big sign that says 'LEX nightclub'. Harry walks ahead of me, up to the entrance doors. Since only the people in the compound can enter the club, there isn't the typical bouncer waiting by the door.

Once we are through the entrance doors, we walk past a bar area that has bartenders scrambling round to get everyone their orders. It's a lot more crowded than I expected.

There's a big pool in the middle of the club, seems like a danger hazard for drunk people to me but pop off. Harry guides me to the left side of the pool where there is a seating area with separate booths.

We walk past 3 booths until we get to the last one, "Hey guys." Harry announces our presence to everyone else that is seating in the booth. My anxiety begins to creep up when I see how many people are here.

"Hey H." Niall greets, then making eye contact with me. "Hey Alexa, you look beautiful." He comments, causing me to blush but the red lighting in the club saves the day.

"Sit down, sit down." Louis ushers to Harry and I, scooting further away from the end so that we can sit.

"I'll go get us some drinks first, what would you like?" Harry asks me, leaning forward so that I can hear him over the loud music.

"Vodka and coke zero please." I reply, terrified about the fact that he's going to leave me with all of these people that I hardly know. He nods, then walking off in the direction of the bar that we passed when we came in.

I take the open seat next to Louis and take a deep breathe, I'm fine. Stop panicking.

"Hi, my name is Cara. I love your dress, I wish I suited dresses... I'm more of a top and jeans kind of gal you know what I mean?" The girl sitting next to Niall rants.

The girl sitting next to Liam shakes her head, "Give the poor girl some space Car! Jesus, sorry about her. My name's Hailee."

I smile at her and lean forward so she can hear me better over the loud music, "I'm Alexa."

"That's such a pretty name! I'm Zendaya by the way..." The girl to Zayn's right speaks up next.

"Thank you." I reply, they all seem nice so far.

Louis nudges the girl next to him, causing her to look up from her phone. "And I'm Margot, welcome to the shit show." she greets, holding out her hand for me to shake. I shake her hand and give a small smile.

"It's nice to meet you all." I yell, hoping all the girls heard me.

Harry finally arrives, sitting next to me. He hands me my drink that has a straw in it. I thank him in which he responds by nodding.

"How's the settling in going?" Niall asks me, causing everyone to look. I ignore everyone else's stares and just look at Niall. I take a sip of my drink before answering, "Okay I guess, Harry can be annoying at times." Everyone begins laughing at my reply.

Harry pouts and nudges my ribs with his elbow, "Hey!" I laugh at his sulking.

"We all know what Harry can be like, don't worry." Louis comments.

Everyone begins having their own separate conversations. "You okay?" Harry whispers in my ear so that no one else hears, his breathe hitting the side of my neck. I ignore the goosebumps that travel down my arm.

"Yeah." I reply with a small smile, taking another sip of my drink.

"OH MY GOD, I KNOW! We should have a girl's day so that we can get to know you better! I'm a genius!" Cara randomly outbursts out of nowhere, almost causing Harry to spill his drink from fright.

"Calm down love." Niall laughs while shaking his head. I notice his hand stroke her thigh before he rips it away into his lap, as if he had burned himself. Cara looks like she's blushing but it might just be the red lighting, I can't tell.

"Good idea Car, we'll make a plan at some stage." Zendaya suggests, glancing at me and sending me a kind smile which I return.

The night goes on surprisingly smoothly. As I expected, Zayn and Liam don't say much. I noticed that Liam drank more than anybody else, having a full vodka bottle to himself. Niall and Cara whisper things into each other's ears the entire time, laughing like school kids together at whatever they are talking about. Hailee and Zendaya talk to me the most, asking me small talk questions, I appreciate the effort that they made to try and make me feel comfortable. Margot stays on her phone for most of the night, I couldn't help but notice Louis whispering things in her ear to try and get her attention but had no such luck in doing so. Harry sat next to me very quietly all night, just observing everyone else and adding comments here and there or replying if he was addressed.

"I had a good time; the girls seem nice." I break the silence that Harry and I were sat in. We left the club a few minutes ago, not before Cara smothered me in a drunken hug, whispering in my ear that we are all going to make plans like it was some sort of secret, disregarding the revelation that she screamed earlier on in the night about the same plans. Niall had to practically peel her body off of mine which only made me laugh.

Harry clears his throat, "I'm glad."

"Does Liam always drink that much?" I question. Interested if it was just a one-night thing.

"Yeah, he does. Don't ever comment on it though, makes him angry. I would know..." He trails off. My eyes can't help but fall onto his hand that is clutching the steering wheel.

"Why would you know?" I ask before my mind starts going to inappropriate places that they shouldn't. Don't judge, you would do the same if you were in my position.

"I noticed he had started drinking a lot, commented on it, he punched me, I punched him back." He shrugs his shoulders casually, as if he was just reciting a shopping list.

We arrive back at his house, he then parks the car in the driveway. Opening his door and then climbing out. I reach for the door handle on my side to open the passenger door but noticed it's locked, before I can question it, Harry opens the door for me. Okay, that was kind of cute. My standards are too low.

I mumble a thank you before we make our way through the garage door, into the entrance hall. We stand in awkward silence, both avoiding each other's eye contact.

Harry breaks the silence first, "Niall was right you know..." He mumbles.

"What do you mean?" I ask. Crossing my arms over my chest, glancing towards him.

Harry still avoids eye contact, "You look beautiful tonight." He explains while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Thank you Harry..." I begin, he seems really nervous. He still won't look at me. "I'm tired, I think I'm going to go to bed. I'll make us some breakfast in the morning."

This reply causes Harry's eyes to finally fall on mine, "Oh okay, I'll see you in the morning then. I'm not tired yet, I'm just going to stay down here for a bit longer." He replies, crossing his own arms over his chest.

"Goodnight Harry." I mumble, beginning to walk up the stairs towards the bedroom.

"Goodnight Lexi." Harry replies, just above a whisper. I smile at the new nickname.

I can't believe tonight felt like just a normal night going out with some new friends. But in reality, it's not that innocent. It's hard to hate Harry, but I'm scared of what will happen if I stop hating him. Let's hope it doesn't get to that.
