I was starting to like being myself again,having control over my emotions and my surroundings was an amazing thing that I had lacked ever since I had stepped foot in the dreadfully misplaced country.

I was sat outside school waiting for Harry.

We were doing something,i'm not quite sure what yet but Harry decided the first step he wanted to do to try fix the mess we made was to take me on a date,like a proper actual date.

"Hey weirdo" I heard from above me.

I looked up and even from this angle he was attractive.

"Ew it's you" I scoffed and stood up next to him.

"Yeah it's me,the person who's taking you on a date" Harry winked at me as he grabbed my hand.

We walked out of school and headed in the direction of town,it was a nice walk,it was nice to have a normal conversation with Harry,about normal thinks like his friends,school,things he found interesting.

"What about family then?" I asked as I heaved my heavy bag back up onto my shoulder.

"What about my family" Harry quickly replied just looking ahead of us as if he was looking out for something.

All that was ahead of us was a road though.

"Well what family have you got?"

"Mum,dad,sister" he quickly replied still putting his attention on everything but me.

"Names?age come on Harry you aren't helping me" I said tugging his arm a little so he'd look down at me.

"Well Gemma is my sister she's older than me,she's at university studying journalism"

"My dad is a business man,and a shitty one"

"And your mum?"

He didn't answer he just kept his head down facing the ground.

"Harry.." I trailed off,maybe it was a rough subject.

"Let's talk about something different"

We got to the cinema and Harry bought be a large popcorn because I'm greedy as hell.

----------------------------------------------

I couldn't concentrate on the movie at all if I was being honest.

I was thinking about a lot of stuff but mainly how lucky I felt right now,nothing felt shit anymore,I was happy to be here with Harry just doing simple things that couples should do.

I glanced up at Harry,he was concentrated on the screen at the end of the room,his eyes slightly glossy in such a beautiful way I wanted to grab his face and kiss him all over.

But that probably wasn't to best thing to do right now.

The movie soon ended and we walked out Harry rambling about how brilliant he thought the movie was,he was so much more intelligent than he let off,the words he used and how he fit them together was the most interesting thing to listen to.

"Harry!" A voice screeched,I girl walked over,she was quite short with blonde hair.

"Oh hey Lily" Harry just smiled at her.

"Last night was nice by the way,you are so funny" She said slapping his arm playfully,I basically already hated her.

"Yeah it was" Harry just replied normally even throwing in a cheeky smile.

"Anyway I'm off" She pointed away from us,sending me a faint smile before strutting off.

"Last night was nice then?" I remarked as I pushed open the door and walked into the cold street,the bitter night air whipping at my bare legs.

"Yeah it wasn't anything piper!" He said trying to grab my hand but I just pulled it away walking away.

"You want to explain it or?..."

"I went out,had a few drinks talked to a few girls not anything out of the ordinary" he said,surprisingly no sarcasm in the way he spoke.

"On a fucking school night" I scoffed trying my best to be quite,I didn't want to go in a mood with him,not really.

But he got to me in such a way it made my head scream,I just wanted to roll my eyes at him and challenge him,but I was trying my best to be nice.

"What can I say" He said smiling at me.

"Just don't say anything you muppet" I fake smiled back grabbing his cold hand in mine,feeling the rough texture of his skin rub against mine.
