-No control-

Chapter 25

<>Back to previous time<>
-Emma's POV-

I woke up with the bright blinding sun spilling out from the windows and shining brightly into my eyes.I quietly moaned and turned over on my side,pulling my weak and tired arms off Harry's large body that they were wrapped around from the night before.The heat from his naked torso mixed with the heat from the blankets made me feel hot and suffocated so I decided to get out of the bed.

I tried to silently slip off the mattress without waking Harry but it obviously failed when I heard him quietly groan in his sleep.

"No, Emma" he whined as I got out of the bed.

His deep raspy morning voice making it obvious that he was tired and half asleep but also bringing to my attention,how much I like his voice when he's sleepy.

"What?" I whispered back to him.

He turned his head over on the pillow to look at me and his face looked squished and adorable against the soft surface of the pillow case.his curly hair sprawled across the case and his mouth left slightly open he looked like a baby waking up from his nap.

"Where are you going?" He murmured into the pillow.

"I'm just going to check on Sophia,I'll be right back." I giggled at his appearance before quickly shuffling my feet across the floor and around the bed.

"Okay." He mumbled before closing his eyes and turning his head on the pillow again.I waddled across the room till I reached the door then extended my arm to turn the handle.

I wasn't surprised when the metal handle gave me a small electric shock so I continued to open the door and close it quietly behind me.

I walked down the hallway and made me way to 'Sophia's room'.Careful to avoid all the spots on the floor that creak when you step on them.

Once I reach her room I decide that it's probably best not to knock.If she's sleeping,I wouldn't want to wake her.

I inch up to the door and silently turn the knob.once the knob makes a full turn I slowly open the door,staying as quiet as I can.

The door is soon opened completely and I'm surprised to see that Sophia is not still in bed.

Instead she is standing by my closet across the room and facing the opposite way of me.

Apparently she didn't see or hear me come in because she didn't turn around, so, I decided to stay quiet because I wanted to see what she was doing.I stayed by the door and kept my mouth shut while I watched her work,oblivious of my presence.

I could only see her back but I still watched her closely as she snooped through my closet. She ran her fingers across the top of each hanger and slid them aside like she was shopping at a store.She also quietly hummed a song that I didn't recognize while she analyzed my clothes.One by one,each hanger and each piece of clothing was slid aside as she inspected every detail of all the items.Then she stopped,not like she froze or anything, but she stopped searching.it was almost as if she found what she was looking for.

Suddenly I see her take a hanger off the metal closet rack and hold up a familiar dress.The blue dress that I wore on my birthday was wrapped around her little fingers and settling on the floor,as it was much longer than her entire body.

Still not facing me I watched her hold it up to her chest.She held up the side of it, stretching the fabric out next to her like she was about to curtesy. After she did that she held it in front of her again,smiled at it, then put it back on the rack.Next I watched her slowly but surely arrange the hangers so it would look like she was never there.After that she closed the closet door. What was that all about?

Without realizing that I was still by the door, Sophia continued to search my room.next she ended up walking over to my vanity.Her freckle covered hands gliding over my makeup brushes,makeup,and perfume bottles. I still couldn't see her face but I could tell she wasn't happy.

Promptly, she pulled out the little stool and sat on it.looking into the little vanity mirror,I could now see her face as she inspected herself.Her fingers skimmed over her freckled cheeks and she used her index to outline every wrinkle or line on her face.

She looked weirdly unhappy,even though she was beautiful. She rubbed her almond brown eye and blinked repetitively while looking closely into the mirror.It looked like she was waiting for her appearance to change right in front of her eyes,but obviously that wasn't possible.

As her 'hope faded', and after she skimmed over the rest of the items on my vanity she got up front the chair.I wanted to comfort her but I don't know her well enough yet to know why she's unhappy.While I'm running these thoughts through my head,all of a sudden she turns around and faces me.

Her eyes widen to the size of golf balls and she looks terrified. She jumps and breathes quickly once her eyes lay on me and I'm quick to react the same.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you!" I blurt.

"It's fine! It's fine!I-I was just...." She starts but pauses to take a breath.

"I was just looking." She finishes and points back to the vanity.

"Oh I know...your fine." I say waving my hand in the air and chuckling a little.

"S-sorry" she fake laughs while facing the floor and shifting her feet.

"It's okay...." I add. "Are you okay?" I ask.I'm just wondering why she looked sad seconds ago but now she's acting normal.

"Yeah I'm fine." She says nodding her head.

Somehow I know she's lying.

"Okay.I will be downstairs in a few minutes to make breakfast..You can come too. If you want to help make it..that is." I pause and wait for her to answer.

"Oh...uhmm, sure."she hesitates at first but ends up smiling.

"You...Don't have to." I say using my hands to describe my words.

"No! I'm happy to help...really." She encourages.

"Okay I'll be down there in like..Five or ten minutes.you can join me whenever your ready" I smile before exiting the room.

"Okay." She grins
"Oh! and Sophia," I say returning to the door and sticking my head back in the room.

"Yes?"

"You can borrow whatever you want." I smile at her.

"Thanks Emma." She smiles back at me before I slip out of the room again and make my way back to Harry's.
