I groggily opened my eyes and shot a peak at Harry, quietly snoring to the side of me. Last week we'd finally had all of our furniture, luggage and extra rubbish moved into our 5 bedroom, 3 bath house about an hour out of London. I was still in the process of getting used to this house, it was simply magnificent.

The sun shone through the blinds in lines of light displayed across the duvet. "Harry." I whispered, caressing his face with the palm of my thumb and giving him a small peck on the lips. "Wake up Haz." I giggled as he slowly opened his eyes, blinking repeatedly. "I'm up, I'm up." He smirked, propping himself up onto his elbow. "So, what's our plans for today?" He mumbled. "I don't know? You tell me!" I said as I placed my feet onto the floor next to the bed. "Lets just have a lazy day, hm?" He walked out of the bedroom beside me. "Sure. As long as I'm with you."

I filled the kettle under the faucet and placed it onto the stovetop. "You know what I just noticed?" Harry asked as he walked into the kitchen. "Alex isn't going to be messing with us anymore."

"Or at least not as much." I mumbled.

"Yeah, but that's better than him living down the road." He coo'd as he grabbed two tea bags from the box atop the microwave. The thought of the vial creature made me shiver and my jaw clench. He's one of the few people I hate dearly, in addition to the list of my stepfather, foster mom and the camp counselor. My mother was going though tough times when I was younger, she almost had no choice weather to put me into a foster home or not. When I turned ten she came back, I was so excited to go home, until I got there.

My mom had been remarried to man named Steven. He seemed pretty normal for the first few months I was home until I learned he had abused my mother. I hated him the instant I saw him lay a finger on her. I had called the police, and he'd went to jail. It turns out he'd been wanted for 17 other crimes against women. Besides him, the reason I'd hated the camp counselor is because he'd caught Harry and I kissing behind the boathouse, and we were sent home. Harry was too afraid to go home because his parents would be mad so he stayed at my house for a few days.

I had a perfectly stable reason to hate my foster mom. The 11 long years I was there; I had been abused. She was a witch of a bitch, and scarred at least every child living in the home at the time. There were countless times I'd taken beatings for the younger kids at the home. I think the only reason she'd do these things is because she was doing drugs. I'd caught her countless times.

"You ok?" Harry asked, snapping me from my thoughts. "Yeah. Just fine." I said as a tear escaped my eye. "Are you crying? What's wrong? Did I- did I do something?" He panicked. "You're just fine babe. Just shitty memories coming back right now." The tears slowly built up in my eyes, I ran my fingers nervously through my hair. "Wanna take a bath?" Harry giggled as he pulled me into his arms. "Will there be bubbles?" I asked. "Duh?" He smiled as he pulled me down the hall and into the master bathroom.

He twisted the nozzle at the front of the large two person jet tub as I slowly got undressed. I stared intently at the quick filling tub as Harry fiddled around and finally had gotten his pants off. "Need help, babe?" I smiled at him. "Got it." He said as he pulled his shirt over his head. "Go, get in!" I pointed to the bath with a mountain of suds. He slipped in at one end and I got in onto the other.

"You're so beautiful." He smiled, pulling me closer. "I love you." I kissed him. "Can you tell me why you were sad?" He said concerned. "Uh well-"

I continued on what had happened throughout my childhood. He's the only person I'd ever told.

"Anna, thats- that's crazy." He looked into my eyes. "Is that where this came from?" He asked, placing his fingertip onto the 2 inch scar on the side of my ribs. "Yeah." I sighed. "Is there more?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm sure you don't want to see the rest. It'll take alot of time."

"I have time."
