Call About Harry

Alice's P.O.V

Harry took me back to Linda's. I reached for the door of the car but he grabbed my arm before I could.

"Where do you think you're going?" Harry questioned me

"Inside back to my friends and my daughter" I said

"You have a daughter? I would love to see her. I bet she's beautiful like you" Harry said

"Can I please just go?" I asked

"Not without a kiss" Harry said

"No thank you" I said. Harry used all the force he could and pulled me towards his. He gripped my jaw and made me face him.

"Give me a kiss. Now" Harry said, with a forceful tone in his voice. I objected so he forcefully crashed his lips onto mine. I tried to get away from him but he kept his grip around my waist, not allowing me to leave. His lips finally left mine and I could not be more relieved. I'd be more relieved if I was back in the house.

"When I call you better answer" that was the last thing Harry said before I left his car and ran back inside. It was like Edward all over again. 

"Hey Alice, how was it with Harry?" Linda asked. I ignored her as I ran crying to the guest room, closing the door behind me. I sat there crying on the bed. I heard the door creak open, then close before feeling someone sit beside me. I looked beside me and saw Linda. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close to her. I buried my face into her blonde hair, which was resting on her neck. She let me cry. She rubbed my back as she was trying to comfort me. This was the first time in my life I've actually had a moment like this with Linda. This moment made me feel like we were sisters. 

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Linda said. I lifted my head and looked straight into her eyes. Linda's eyes alone told me I could trust her.

"Harry is blackmailing me" I said

"Blackmailing you?" Linda asked. I nodded.

"He knows about my marriage to Joseph and my relationship to Paul. He said that I have to be his girlfriend while I'm here or he's going to tell the press. I didn't know what to do Linda. If I said no, he would've told everyone, not ruining only my career but Paul's as well. If I do go along with it, I'll be cheating on Paul and I can't do that to him Linda. I just can't" I said

"If I were you I'd call Paul" Linda said

"I'm afraid to call him Linda" I said. I looked down and Linda placed her hand under my chin, tilting my head up so I was looking at her.

"Alice, I've known you since we were twelve and you were the bravest person I've ever known. Seriously, you did things most girls would never dare to do. Now your telling me your afraid" Linda said.

"Your right. I just need to tell Paul. He'll help me get through this" I said

"There's the Alice I know" Linda said

I took Linda's advice and called Paul. I just really hope he can help me get through this. I called him and waited for him to pick up. I smiled when I heard his voice.

"Hello?" 

"Paul" I said

"What is it that you want?" Paul asked. He sounded mad.

"I just need to talk to you about something" I said

"Really? Is it about that old boyfriend of yours?" Paul asked

"Excuse me?" I asked

"I watched your interview. Why didn't you ever tell me about this 'Harry'. Clearly it still looks like you have feelings for him" Paul said

"Hang on here, I've never had feelings for him. He's always been the one chasing after me. I never returned the affection. We were just lab partners and that's it" I said

"That's not what it looked like to me. You seemed to be returning a lot of affection during that interview" Paul said

"I was just being friendly! It's not like I meant any of it!" I said. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Linda watching me as I talked on the phone.

"He's really mad" I mouthed to Linda. She walked over to me and held out her hand, telling me to give her the phone. I gave it to her and she held it up to her ear.

"Hello, is this Paul speaking?" Linda spoke

Paul's P.O.V

I heard a different voice on the line.

"Hello, is this Paul speaking?" the woman's voice said

"Yes. Who is this?" I asked

"My name is Linda Eastman. I'm an old friend of Alice's. I can honestly tell you that Harry Thomas is obsessed with Alice and is currently blackmailing her" the woman, Linda said

"What do you mean blackmailing?" I asked

"Well you see, Harry still likes Alice very much. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has a shrine dedicated to her" Linda said

"He had a shrine for her?" I asked

"Yeah. I saw it myself anyways, what Harry is doing is blackmailing Alice to be his girlfriend. If she didn't agree word would get out about your affair. Alice didn't want that to happen because it wouldn't be good for your reputations" Linda explained

"Really? She told you all about this?" I asked. 

"Yeah. She actually resents Harry now" Linda said.

"Linda, was it?" I asked

"Yep" Linda said

"Thanks for clearing all of that up. Can you put me back on the phone with Alice now?" I asked. I heard a silence before I heard the familiar voice.

"Paul?" Alice said

"Love, I'm sorry I got so mad. I guess I just got jealous. I can't stand the thought of another guy even being near you" I said

"Well you don't have to worry about that. Nobody is taking me away from you" Alice said

"I can't wait till you come home. I can't wait until I can kiss you and hold you in my arms again" I said

"I can't wait for it either Paul. Listen, I have to go but I'll talk to you soon, alright?" Alice said

"Alright. I love you" I said

"I love you too" Alice said

Alice's P.O.V

When Paul hung up, I felt relief go through me. I ran to Linda, hugging her and almost knocking her to the ground.

"Oh, thank you so much Linda" I said

"I'd do anything for you Alice. That's what sisters do for each other" Linda said. I smiled when I heard sisters. The only other person who had called me sister was Cynthia.

"You should meet Paul sometime. I think you two would get along just great" I said

"You think so?" Linda said

"Of course" I said. Linda smiled at me.

"Come on. Let's get to bed. It's been a long day" Linda said. We both went off to bed, saying our goodbyes to each other until we'd see each other again in the morning. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without Linda.
