AVA'S POV:
Harry and I left the lookout place a few minutes ago. He had agreed to take me back to Jade's house since I am sleeping there tonight and then he would leave to go home. If you told me earlier today that I would be spending my night with a drug lord, I honestly would call you crazy and I wouldn't believe you.
All jokes aside, I ended up having a good time with him even though we were talking about our past and trauma. Being in his presence felt good. Although he may have killed people and his occupation is selling illegal substances, I see past it all and I can tell that he is a good person but he has just been hurt so much.
Being hurt can definitely leave scars and it can change you. Opening up to Harry made me feel a bit better because I knew that he was listening even though his answers were just small responses. I think he has a soft spot for certain things by what he's told me.
I didn't expect him to open up to me at all about his past. I really thought he was a reserved person. Well he still is because I can tell but I feel like he needed to talk about it and let it out. I'm glad that he trusts me enough to even tell me anything about himself. It's something that I would never use against him, no matter the circumstance.
That all leads up to now..
Harry had parked in the same spot across from Jade's house.
"Thanks for the ice cream", I say shyly. If I'm being honest, I don't want him to go yet.
"Don't worry about it".
"Also, Harry. I just want you to know that whatever you told me tonight will stay between you and I".
"Uh- th- thanks", he responds like he wasn't expecting me to say that.
I don't know what made me say this but I asked Harry, "Walk me inside?".
I have no idea how I got the sudden confidence boost.
"I was going to, whether you liked it or not", Harry responded while staring out the window.
"Oh- uh thanks".
I open my door at the same time that Harry does. I shut it behind me, walking around the drivers side so I can cross the street. Harry waits for me to reach him and he starts walking with me. We reach the front door and invite ourselves in since Jade and Lincoln knew we would be back.
