I unlock the front door to my house and walk inside with the bags of food and supplies we picked earlier in my hands.Harry follows behind me,his hands also filled with groceries.We walk to the kitchen and dump every thing on the table.Harry starts to make piles within the rubbish.things like beans,soup,and crackers go in one pile.towels,bandaids,and batteries make another.I stand back and watch him focused on his work.

"Do you want to start dinner?" Harry ask me with a deep raspy voice.his voice sounded dry and tired.

"Sure,I'll make some rice and soup."I reply

"Sounds good" harry answers.His eyes never leaving his pile of things on the table.

I take a clean pot and a can of beef and vegetable soup and start on dinner.about 5 minutes later harry leaves the room with all his piles separated into grocery bags and I hear him walk upstairs and turn on the tv. As the soup is getting to a boil I start to cook the rice.The heat of the soup and the rice I just started heats up the whole kitchen and leaves a cloud of hot water vapor and smoke in the air.I start to sweat and get dizzy so I walk upstairs to the thermostat to turn the heat down.As I'm walking up the stairs I hear a woman speaking on the tv.I turn the air on and slowly follow the voice I hear.

As I get to "Harry's room" I can clearly hear the voice of the news woman on tv.Shes talking about how all government laws are being ignored and everything is out of control.She also talks about how many people are willing to do anything to stay alive.There was also a story about a young boy who was wandering near the news station while looking for his mom.they took him into the building and one of the news anchors are caring for him now. I lean my ear against the door to get a better sound of the tv but then the door opens.

I almost most fall foreword and fall on the ground but I regained my balance.Harry stares at me like I'm insane and I can feel my face go red.

"I just came to say dinner will be ready soon"
I blatantly lie.

"Okay."he says with a smirk and a questionable eye brow raise.

Without another word i start back downstairs and finish up dinner.Harry comes downstairs a couple minutes after he caught me listening in on him .We sit in silence at the table as we eat our soup and rice. Harry eyes don't look my way once.he's such a confusing person.I don't understand how he could be the only one left for me to depend on and we don't have any real conversations.

"Harry?" I say so quietly its barely a whisper.

"Yes?" He says looking down in his food .

"Thank you" I say looking directly at him now talking a little louder.

Harry head slowing comes up and he stared me a few seconds before answering
"for what?

I freeze.I don't really know why I brought this up but I felt like I needed to say this.
"For being here with me,I didn't actually expect you to look out for me the way you have been and I just thought I should thank you."

"No problem"he says with a smile."I wouldn't be doing anything better right now if I didn't find you."he says

We both smile at each other and the rest of dinner is silent.

When I finished eating my food i put my dishes in the dishwasher and went upstairs to my room and shut the door.

I fall onto my bed and picked up my diary.

-may 19th 2019,
Me and harry seem to be quietly getting along. I'm really glad he found me otherwise I might be dead right now.i wish he would talk to me more though.maybe we could be closer.i hope we find his family soon.i don't have mine so I want him to at least have someone besides me.they probably need him as much as I do.i just hope he doesn't forget about me if we do find them.
-emma

I close the diary and set it on my chest.all I could think about was harry.

Seconds later before I could respond harry barged into my room.

Scared shitless I throw my book onto the floor and yell.

"Oh my god! Harry? Why didn't you knock?!?"

"I know where they are!" He yells with a huge smile across his face.

"Wait..what?" I ask him trying to calm down.

"My parents!" He screamed
"They are probably at my grandmothers!,well go tomorrow morning."he speaks so quickly I can barely comprehend what's going on.

"Be ready around 10" he says.After that he leaves the room and closes the door behind him,leaving me by myself.

Harry is seeing his parents tomorrow... I keep repeating in my head.

Harry is leaving me..tomorrow...
