RUBY

Walking out the door with literally all my belongings, I decided I'm not looking back, never ever again, I literally took everything I own and walked out the door, ready to be gone for 3 years and just disappear after that, this job pays well, by the time I'm done I'll get an apartment somewhere and just stay there and save myself from the horrors I went through and was going to go through with my parents

being an only child can be hard sometimes, I didn't really have all these memories of fighting with a sibling or having fun together or pictures or anything, my childhood wasn't the most fun, it was just...kind of forgotten at this point, my parents never gave it the light of day so I don't have any pictures of little me either, so I think this is where my fake confidence started

no one saw behind my little mask yet which is good, I'm keeping it that way cause I'm not a broken little girl I can take care of myself, hell I'm working from the age of 19 

and I was pretty relieved when Harry told me the tour was tomorrow, it gave me some peace of mind that I won't be seeing those people for three years, then I decided that I'm never going back there again.

packing all my shit in the trunk of my car and in the back seat since I took almost all my belongings, I went to get into my driver's seat when Harry stopped me,

"we'll stop at the store first, we need a couple of things" then he proceeded to climb into my passenger seat without a second word, confused I stand still looking at him like he had 3 heads and a tail, 

"excuse me?" I kept a confused stare on my face, my brown eyes looking into his emotionless green ones

"I said, we're going to the store"  he grits his teeth and leans back into his seat, pulling out a pair of ray bans from god knows where and puts them on his face leaning his head back more 

"I'm sorry I didn't realize this is your goddamn car Harry", he sighs deeply, annoyed by MY actions apparently, getting out of the car and walking down the driveway and down the street

still very confused, I follow him down the driveway only to see him getting into a white SUV and pulling out what looks like a pink sucker, putting it in his mouth while he fumbles with the car key and starting the engine, still stood in my spot I watch him drive up to me and roll down the window, " I said we're going to the store, wanna follow me with your car or are you staying here?", pure emotionless depth to his voice, he stares straight ahead, sunglasses hiding his emerald eyes and sucker in his mouth, waiting for my answer

"How will I get my stuff if I come with you smart ass?", I'm not letting him win, no one goes past my wall and he won't be the first to cross it, never in his wildest dreams

"we'll come back for it, smart ass" he throws back, actually looking at me this time and lowering his sunglasses to stare into my goddamn soul

who knew green could be so harsh and captivating at the same time?

I sigh in defeat and get into the front seat, closing the door and looking at him to find him already looking at me and smirking, "oh wipe that shit-eating grin off your face, it's just the store" 

he continued to smirk at me, letting out a little laugh before driving off to the store nearby, while I lock my car with the remote before we go too far away

I'm so cool locking my car from another car window damn

laughing to myself, he didn't say much during the car ride, not even a glance in my direction, guess he's too concentrated on the road, 

I don't think this will be bad, I get to explore the world while doing what I love, as long as I follow my rules and don't go around breaking them I'm gonna be alright, I'm here to work, not to make friends or start a love story, I'll be fine I never did anyway why would I now? 

we'll be alright
