WOMAN - H.S

29.

Hi you guys!

Brace yourself I cried so many times during this chapter. 

this one is a bit longer, listen to the song at the top when you get to the end to know what Harry's talking about. 

I love you all, if you have lost somebody or something special to you...I am so sorry, but remember they are most likely with you, just as something else.

I woke up abruptly realizing I was in my childhood bedroom.

We had been here for a full day with Anna's family, it's been a good distraction.

I felt suffocated last night after feeling like everything reminds me of him. Everything is still exactly the same. Pictures on the mantel, his golf clubs in the corner of the living room, his cologne still in the air. Its like he's just on vacation...like he'll be back.

I sighed in relief as I saw Anna coming out of the bathroom in her pajama shorts and my T-shirt. Her hair was wavy from having curled it yesterday.

Just seeing her makes it easier to breathe.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked concerned. I cleared my throat. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine" I said.

She sat down on the edge of the bed knowing I wasn't telling the truth.

I sighed moving closer to her pulling her into my lap to straddle my legs.

"I will be fine, I just...need to take it all in I guess" I said trying to speak my feelings. If I'm making her be more open with me I need to do the same with her. I need to learn to not keep things bottled up...especially to the point where I explode and eventually runaway.

She nodded in understanding moving her hand to play with my hair.

"I'm proud of you...so proud" those words mean more coming from her than anyone else. I pressed my lips to hers in a light kiss not knowing how to respond to that.

I guess she is rubbing off on me...I love it, because I love her.

We both heard a knock on the door making us pull apart.

Anna got off me sitting on the bed next to me like we were in middle school making me laugh. Her face instantly lit up as she grinned at me.

"Come in!" I called out.

When the door opened I was happy we were interrupted.

"Harry, your sisters bed is the comfiest bed I've slept in" Rex said walking into the room before stopping and scrunching up his face in disgust. "Wait no, that sounds weird" shaking his head making Anna laugh as she also shook her head.

I smirked at the boy, moving to make space as he sat down between us with a huff.

Anna pressed a kiss to the top of his head before standing up and looking through her suitcase.

Today was Christmas Eve one of the three hardest day's I would have to deal with for the rest of my life. I could only hope it would get easier.

"Did I tell you Grandma Abbie took a laxative on the plane and passed out right on the window?" Rex asked a high pitched laugh erupting from me at his mix of words.

Anna's hand slapped over her mouth as she was bent over her duffle, her head shot up looking at Rex her face turning red as she tried not to laugh but ended up miserably failing.
