My True Soulmate (Harlena Fanfiction)

Chapter 33

Darcy

6 weeks laterHarry and I have been going strong and healthy with out relationship for this past month and a half. We've been seeing each other a little more often then usual but that's the best thing about being in love. You absolutely adore each second spent with the love of your life without feeling like you want to be alone.

I love every second and every minute I spend with Harry. I could never get used to him being around all the time and I don't think it'll ever get old. Harry's not clingy but he's not pushy either. I think I like the fact that he always has to be attached to me in some kind of way such as holding my hand or pressing his thigh to mine.

It's the simplest things that have me falling head-over-heels again and again.

I'm recovered from my injuries almost fully so that where there are scars, also feels like there are bruises. The scars definitely haunt me in a type of way. I've gotten insecure with the amount of scars on my body. I feel like I now have enough scars to last me three lifetimes. I have all the marks of slashes on my back from the whip, the cut on my arm, the scars on my leg and stomach and, even worse, the one on my cheek.

I can't look at Scarlett and then look at myself without wishing I had my natural baby face back. I'm jealous that she wakes up like that and I have to use a massive amount of cover up.

Speaking of Scarlett. She's with her foster family. My mother isn't allowed to take custody of her, simply because Scarlett is already claimed by another family. The Tomlinson family wasn't so keen on just letting Scarlett go, they've grown such a bond with my pure-souled sister. They decided to let her sleep over on the weekends and visit whenever she wants.

My mom, Brian and I have grown close to the Tomlinson family, meaning our holidays and special dinners are with them. It' a whole lot easier for the both of our families. The Tomlinson family consists of Louis Tomlinson, who is just a few years older than me and in Uni, Charlotte, a little blond who prefers to be called 'Lottie', Felicity, a brunette who prefers to be called 'Fizzy', 2 blond twins, Phoebe and Daisy along with another pair of twins, a little blond baby boy, Ernest Deakin, and his little ginger baby sister, Doris Deakin.

I've grown close to Louis and Daisy the most. I don't know, I just think they're much more outgoing and don't take anything serious. Harry has actually made great friends with Louis. They go out and play football (soccer) sometimes, too! I've grown very close to Scarlett in these past 5 or 6 weeks. We had so much to learn about each other but now it feels like we've known each other all our lives.

Unfortunately, Dakota and Zayn had to go back to Newbridge but they still keep in contact. Dakota doesn't blame me for our father's death anymore because she almost lost me, too so everything's great in the hate-department. I got to know Zayn just a little bit before he left with my big sister.

I learned that Zayn is a great guy, despite his bad-ass looks and he actually wears his heart on his sleeve. At least I know that I won't have to worry about my sister being paired with a psycho.

I've still been best friend's with Stevie and to this day, ever since she's met Louis, she's been teasing me about having a 'hot sort-of-brother'. Got to love that girl. Ashton? I don't know. He hasn't been around so I haven't really talked to him. I guess he knows that staying away is what's best to move on.

Now that I got that out of the way, this is what I'm doing now: I'm sat on the couch, surrounded by Johannah and Dan Deakin and their kids along with my mom, Brian, Scarlett, Harry and Stevie.

I laid in the middle of the small couch with my head in Harry's lap and my legs sprawled out on Louis' and Stevie's laps while Daisy laid on top of me. We were all talking and making jokes here and there, just spending sometime as one large dysfunctional family.
