Safe

Chapter Eight

*Harry' POV*

I picked her up and carried her out. I put her in the car, and started driving. I started talking to her, but I didn't get a reply. I looked over, and she was sleeping heavily. She looked so peaceful when she slept. I can't believe I let that happen to her. How could I have been so careless? What if I hadn't gotten there in time? I shuddered just thinking of the possibilities. I pulled up to my flat.

I picked Liz up and carried her inside. She's going to be staying with me for a while. I have to make sure she stays safe. After I laid her down, I went to the bathroom to wash up. I still had a little bit of blood on my hands. Once I got it all scrubbed off, I went back to my bedroom and stripped down to just my boxers and climbed in with her. I pulled her into my chest. She was so cold. I hoped I could warm her up. I kissed the top of her head, and she woke up. She looked up at me and smiled.

"I feel safe in your arms, Harry."

Good. I want her to feel that way.

"Good. Are you ok, baby? Did Dan hurt you?"

"A little,but I'll be alright. I'm just glad you're here now."

I smiled. Maybe she did like me back.

"I'm glad you're here too, sweetheart. I won't let him hurt you ever again. I'll make all the pain go away, baby."

"Good. Can you kiss it away?"

"Gladly."

I smirked. I began to kiss her. I started at her fingers, and made my way up to her lips. The moment our lips touched, I could feel sparks fly. I began to kiss her lips more passionately, only stopping for air now and then. She kissed back. It soon turned into a make-out session. Her lips were so soft. I never wanted to stop kissing her. But all too soon, she pulled away.

"I'm really tired, Harry."

She said sleepily.

"Okay, baby. Let's go to sleep."

As soon as I said that, she closed her eyes. But right before she went to sleep, she whispered something to me. I barely heard it. But she finally said it.

"I love you, Harry."

She whispered.

"I love you too, Liz."

We had finally confessed our love for each other. I was so happy. But finally, the night took it's toll on me, and I fell asleep, with my arms still wrapped around Liz. And that moment, was absolutely perfect. I never wanted to let go. But I knew we couldn't stay like this forever.
