Between

Chapter 9

Harry's POV:

I'm not for sure what happened. I was having the same nightmare playing out in front of me, and as always I was too weak to be able to stop it or do anything.

When a little girl came in through the door. She didn't even stop to look at the gruesome scene playing out before her.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me upstairs. I fought against her but I was still too weak.

She dragged me upstairs against my will. She pulled me into my room, and then into my closet.

She looked at me and smiled. The smile seemed so familiar but I couldn't place it. "Stop." She said simply.

"Stop?" I ask confused as we sit in my closet. A feeling of safety washing over me.

She swiped her hand softly over my forehead and then my cheek.

There holding my cheek and staring into my eyes she said, "everything's going to be okay. You need to stop this. I'm sorry love but you can't change it, but you need to let it go. Just stop."

Somehow I was back in the living room, but I was no longer a little boy, finally full grown. I was still in my mums house but everything was gone. The house was empty.

I waited for the scene to change and for my father or I mean Ken to come in drunk and rip up my book, but it never happened.

I stood there confused when all of a sudden I hear an alarm go off and I sit up in bed fully awake.

I instantly wipe at my eyes. Drying up the tears that had fell.

I hear someone shuffle to the bathroom. There in there a few moments when the shower is turned on.

It's not long I hear someone in the kitchen.

I grab my shirt and throw it on. I walk slowly to the kitchen not sure who I'm going to see.

When I get closer I see Reece pouring a cup of coffee.

"Hey, can I have a cup?" I ask slow.

"Sure." She says without turning around. She grabs a coffee cup and feels it up.

When she turns to hand me the cup it doesn't take me long to realize the T-shirt she has on is one of Niall's.

She walks past me to the small dining table and sits.

I take a moment sipping on the coffee to hold my anger before I join her.

"Do you have anything planned for today." I ask her as I sit down.

"Yea going back to bed." She says looking tired.

"oh." I say a little confused.

"I'm not the morning person Tessa is." She says simply.

"Oh." Is all I say.

I hear the door to the bathroom open. She gets up and pours a new cup of coffee.

When Niall comes in she hands him the cup of coffee.

"Have a good day." She says walking back to there room. "Good night."

"What are you doing today?" Niall ask me.

"I have some things to do later." I reply.

"You need help getting your shit from wherever." He ask putting on his jacket.

Which makes me think that maybe they never talk about us. If they did wouldn't he know by now where I live.

"Yea, you can help me later?" I ask
