I wake up around 9:00 after a much needed night of rest.i usually sleep well but I kept tossing and turning thinking about what I would do without Harry here.

I thought I would be happy for him if he ever found his parents but now I'm having second thoughts.what if he stays with his parents and I have to go home and live by myself until I eventually die or am killed.

I'm freaking out right now.i get out of bed and head to the restroom.harry is already in there brushing his teeth.he looks at me through the doorway and smiles with his mouth full of toothpaste foam.

"Good morning" he barely managed to say without laughing or spitting. he spit out the rest of the foamy paste and rinsed out his mouth.

Then he set his tooth brush in his drawer and headed back to his room smiling at me as he passed.

I've lived with him for almost 3 weeks now and I've never seen him this happy

I proceed to the bathroom and start my morning routine.

Wash face,brush teeth,shower,get dressed,and do my hair.

After about an hour I'm done getting ready and I head towards Harry's room.

As I peer inside I see him laying on his bed on his back, motionless,staring at the ceiling.

"Harry?are you ready?" I ask him standing out side his door.

He lifts quickly off the bed and looks at me with a big smile.

"hell yeah I'm ready"

He grabs his keys off his dresser and we head outside to the car.

We get in our seats and Harry takes off driving.the car ride was long about 47 minutes but it seemed so short.i couldn't help but feel this would be my last car ride with him so time quickly passed me by because I didn't want it too.

My mother used to tell me you don't realize what you have till it's gone...

This quote couldn't be more relevant to how I was reacting to this whole situation. except,I'm already realizing what I have and it's not even gone yet but I know it will be soon.

We arrived at a small one story house with a broken mailbox and dead grass covering the front yard. I look over to see Harrys reaction.its no longer a happy smile but more like a saddened disappointment.there aren't even any cars in the drive way.

"Might as well look inside" Harry says,with a little hope still left in his eyes

"Okay" I say as I unbuckle my seatbelt.

I open the car door and wait for Harry to come around the car. Together we walked towards the house and walk up the doorsteps. Once in front of the door I try opening it but it was locked and all the blinds on the windows were closed.
Harry then bends down and grabs a key from under the doormat.he unlocks the door with ease and walks inside.

A gust of old house air takes over my nose. it smelled like old napkins and furniture polish.
"I stay near the door as Harry continues to search the house yelling

"MOM! DAD! ITS ME HARRY! NANNA?GRANDDAD?"

"ANYONE THERE??"

For a few seconds Harry stops yelling and it's completely silent throughout the house.

"Harry?Are you okay?"I ask, scared of the silence.

"Emma,come here quick" Harry yells.

I run down the hall I saw him go down and see him staring at a table.when I get closer I see there is a piece of folded up paper on the table.And when I'm next to Harry i see that on the paper it says "to Harry".
