Chapter Two

I sat beside the window and looked out at London. It was beautiful. It had been so long since the last time I had been there. I was with my entire family, we had come for the New Years' parade when I was seven. I could remember the day perfectly. Me, getting a balloon that was shaped like a star but accidentally letting it go. My father, picking me up and comforting me as I began to cry. My mother, buying me another balloon and telling my siblings to stop mocking me.

"Are you hungry?" I snapped out of my flashback and looked up at Liam.

He was staring down at me with an inquiring look.

"No, I'm fine. I ate before I came into the station," I said confidently.

Lying was becoming one of my best acts, if only my stomach hadn't betrayed he would've believed me. My stomach grumbled like it did when Pooh wanted honey.

He sat beside me and sighed. "You know, you don't have to lie to me. I don't mind to buy you something to eat. You defended me, it's the least I could do."

I just shook my head, not making eye contact with him. He sat there for a few minutes before realizing that I wasn't going to let up and he left to go replenish his own famine.

Once the train started moving towards Wolverhampton, I began to calm down. I was getting further and further away. I started smiling at this when Harry came and sat in front of me.

"Why are you smiling?" I looked at him and shrugged.

"Why not? Why aren't you smiling?" He looked at me and then a huge grin spread across his face.

"Oh, but I am. Now tell me, why are you looking for a quiet and safe town?" My smile left my face.

"Because I am settling down." He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Settling down? Like people do when they get married and have kids?" I nodded and his eyes widened.

He grabbed both my hands and looked at my fingers. "Are you hiding a ring? Do you have a baby in that backpack?"

I started laughing, genuine laughter sprung from within me.

"Indeed I am! But no, sadly my baby is with my husband!" He sat back, jealousy strongly expressed in his face.

"And tell me Ka-Rhea, why the hell was I not invited to the wedding? And where is this husband of yours? Allowing you to travel alone when there are creeps trying to make a move on you and psycho fans trying to rip your hair out?" I couldn't stop laughing.

"He's playing hide-and-seek in his invisibility cloak! I haven't been able to find him for nineteen years, he's quite good at it." Harry started laughing at this.

"You're something else. You know that right?" I continued smiling but this confused me slightly.

"What do you mean?" I asked as he ceased his laughter.

"You're different than those other girls. You don't know who we are so you don't have an image of us, good or bad. And even though you know we're famous, you aren't asking us for stuff. You've been trying to get away from us because you think you're being a burden to us all. It's nice to have something different in the sea of sameness." For some reason, I couldn't break eye contact with him.

I didn't know how to respond so there we sat, just staring at each other and taking in the silence of each other's company. It was nice having the company of someone and not having to worry about what they could do to you. Did I trust him? No. Did I believe he wouldn't hurt me? Of course. I didn't know if it was the green eyes or the fact that my gut was telling me that I could trust him.
