Stay With Me

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

**Harry's POV**

"And you didn't tell me, did you?" she asked me, penetrating me with the scariest death glare I've ever seen.

"I-I'm sorry. I thought that if I told you, you wouldn't come, as you would never get things right with your mum. I wish I did..." I said, my shoes becoming very Intresting.

"What do you mean? You know what, I don't think this is a great time. Just drive home Harry. We'll talk about it later." she said, acknowledging annabels existance. I nodded, starting the engine. The car ride was pretty awkward, Annabel breaking it every so often to ask me questions to brighten up the mood. We got home and took off our shoes and jackets.

"Annbel, come here." Alex said, guiding her to my room. "Just stay in here for a couple minutes, I have to talk to Harry okay? Just don't come our until I say." she told her, closing the door gently. She sighed, and sat down on the couch.

"Come here. You didn't finish." she said, patting the empty space next to her. I agreed to tell her, figuring she would find out eventually.

"Well...remember how I said my childhood was pretty good, me and my sister got along, and my parents loved each other very much?" I asked her, wondering if she rembered anything I told her. She nodded slowly, encouraging me to go on.

"Well that was all true. But, after my father died, my mom went crazy. She got drunk alot, quit her job, and never got off of the couch. She would come home from the club every night with some wasted bastard. One night, after the 17th guy, i was done. I packed my things and left. I never saw her since." I told her, my voice almost a whisper by the end. "I didn't want that to happen to you and to have you live your life knowing that-" I was cut off by her lips smacking into mine. I was taken back at first, but then wrapped my arms around her waist, and kissed her back. It didn't last that long. A good ten seconds. It was passionate and sweet. Be both pulled away, gasping for some air.

"Sorry...had to find a way to thank you. I understand what you mean and I'm sorry about your mother. I'm sure that she was only doing that to get over your father. I don't think she meant to hurt you Harry," she told me. I never thought about it that way. I guess I should try to get in touch with her sometime.

"Im going to go get Annabel. I'll be right back," she said, getting off of the couch.

"AH!" she screamed around the corner. I raced to her, only to find her laughing there with Annabel.

"YOU GAVE ME A FUC- FUDGIN HEART ATTACK ALEX!" I yelled, watching my language around the 8 year old. Alex laughed at me before calming down.

"Sorry babe, Annabel was standing around the corner and scared me." she said, smiling.

"I saw you guys making out. It was gross" she stated, crossing her arms. Me and Alex laughed before feeling embarrassed.

"I'm gonna go rest my head for a bit. My head is killing me. If I'm not up in 10 minutes, come get me?" she asked.

"Of course love, go rest." I told her, shooing her to my room. She shut the door, and as soon as she did Annabel spoke up.

"Okay Harry, you and me need to have a talk." she said, taking my hand and pulling me to the couch. I chuckled at the small girl, trying to pull my weight. She pulled me down on the couch, so I was facing her.

"I knew all of Alexa boyfriends, and I knew that they would all do the same thing. Now you needto promise me one thing: you can't hurt her. She's been through enough. If you do, I swear I'll drop kick you so hard, it'll bring you all the way back to my hometown." she threatened. I was debating on weather to laugh, or be really scared.

"I promise I will never hurt her. Never in a million years."
