Ch 10: making my way downtown

Ashley's P.O.V

Somehow we found ourselves in the front of Harry's sister flat, and Harry wasn't telling me why. I guess I was just going with it, seeming as I had no idea where we were and he had the keys to the car, and well, I felt safe with him. 

"So why exactly are we here?" I tried asking again as we waited for his sister to answer the front door, it seemed like a decade. Harry smiled, followed by a gentle laugh. 

"Because, we need a car that people won't recognise and she has an apartment in a small town"" He finally stated. To be honest, it was a pretty good idea, until one thought crossed my mind. 

"Are people going to know who I am?" 

"Doubt it, it's very small, so we should be safe there" 

A large smile formed on my face, and a few seconds later, the front door flew open, and we were greeted by Harry's sister, who I didn't know the name to. 

"Hello. I'm Gemma" She spoke as if she had read my mind.

"Nice to meet you" I smiled and went to shake her hand but instead she pulled me into a hug. She had wrapped her arms around my neck and I left my arms hanging awkwardly beside me, then I found my strength and gently patted her on the back before detaching.

"Gemma, keys, and address" Harry demanded, placing his hand out in front of him with his palm facing up.

"ok ok ok"She scrambled through her jean pockets, and then placed a pair of car keys and a piece of paper in Harry's palm, he smiled and then ran down the front steps to the old car that was parked in the driveway.

I tried to hold back my laugh as we approached the car but it slipped out when we were in touching distance away from it. Harry raised an eyebrow. I didn't mean to offend him or anything and I was in no place to judge, but I even wondered how an old car like that would even drive us a few meters. I mean, it was dusty, and small, and the wheals looked like they were flat and don't get me started on the colour, which has nothing to do with the car itself, it was just a very ugly blue.

My attention turned straight towards Harry who had already unlocked the doors and was sitting in side the car starting the engine, it took a few times to try and start it before it actually did start up.  

I grabbed hold of the rusty, old door handle and pulled it open which reveled seats of an ugly brown colour, again, not judging. I ignored my thoughts about the car and forced myself onto the car seat and slammed the door shut.Without any warning Harry placed his foot on the pedal and we headed for the road.  I still had no idea which town we were going to, but I guess it didn't really matter.

I slept through the car ride down to where ever we were going, but I woke up to the sound of Harry slamming his door shut. My eyes flicked open and saw a small building in front of us. I slowly unbuckled my seat belt, getting a view of my surroundings.

"Hurry up" Harry called slamming his fist on the car. I thought the car would break down, it was the hard You shouldn't treat an old car roughly. 

Harry's P.O.V

She was taking her time, and it was cold outside, so I just wanted to go in and have a warm shower, or just relax on the bed, I don't know, anything beats standing in the freezing cold, so I slammed my fist against the car instructing her to hurry up and she rushed out of the car like a scared school girl who just got in trouble from the teacher. 

We walked up the stairs that leaded us towards the apartment room that Gemma owned. It wasn't a very big building, therefore, they only had stairs, but it was ok to live in for a few weeks or months, until we worked something out for Ashley.
