I adjusted the bracelets on my arms as I took a deep breath then let it out with a huff. I rolled my eyes when I took a glance at Nathan, he was staring at me with opened jaw. 

"Close your jaw, you will catch a fly."

"I still don't know what are you doing here?" I held his small hand tighter in mine and looked down at him because of his height.

"I told you already," I paused until we crossed the street while looking around and being careful of the cars passing. Then looking down at him again. "Mum is busy with work and going to be late. So, I had to get you from school."

"But you are never nice."

"Um, thank you?" He shook his head.

"I mean you hate me." I stopped my tracks and went down to his height when we were in the park, it was on the way to our house. Nathan and I used to play here a lot, being the older sister I loved to play with him when he did not have much of friends because I know how he felt. I had the same problem when I was his age, but now he had a lot, even more than me.

I pulled him to sit down next to me on the bench and I turned around to face him better. 

"I don't hate you, Nathan." His eyes went wide.

"Wow," He put his hand on my forehead. I tried to look at his hands and I probably looked stupid then I looked at him. He stifled a laugh as I smiled. "It is the first time since a long time you call me by my name, not some idiot names." 

"Yeah, well, I wanted to say sorry for that." 

"No, it is okay. I did things that I was not proud of too." He was definitely smarter than me despite his age and that he was younger. "I am sorry too."

"I guess we are both wrong," I said sighing as I looked around the park, taking in the view of the children playing and what killed me the most when I saw a little girl playing with her father and laughing.

"Remember when we used to play here?" I looked back at him and nodded.

"Yeah, those were the good times." I shrugged. "But you have friends now."

"Yes, but it is not as fun as we used to play and spend our time together watching films." I smirked as I got an idea. "Oh no, I do not like that smirk. Are you going to kill me?" I glared at him and hit his head playfully.

"No, I was going to say why don't we go home, do you homework then order some food while we watch all Harry Potter movies."

"And we could build a fort by all the pillows in the living room!" I nodded laughing at his ideas.

"I guess we could."

"Yay, Harry Potter marathon!" He screamed standing up and pulling me with him. I stood up and held his hand again. "Why do you keep holding my hands? You are not my girlfriend."

"Oh you wish." I pulled out my phone when I felt it vibrate in my pocket. "And, because I am older than you, I should take care of you. And, I do not want you to run off."

"You know, I am a big man. I am the one who saves you and takes care of you." I could not stop the smile on my face, I missed those sweet moments with Nathan. He was my savior and I knew when he grows up, he would always save me.

"I know." I turned on my phone and I had a text. It was from Harry, I ignored it and shoved the phone back in my pocket. I was not mad at him or that I was being rude. I just wanted to have some time with Nathan. It had been a long time since I really spent some time with him without chasing him or fighting with him. I knew Harry would understand.

"Where is the car? Why didn't you drive us home?" I looked at him raising my eyebrows. "Oh, I told my mom when you drove it without her knowing, so you are not allowed anymore."

"Uh, I was there, but thanks for telling the story." He giggled making me shake my head smiling at how silly he was. I was sure he was my brother because we had the same silly moments.

My phone rang again interrupting us, I pulled it out again and it was him. I looked at Nathan and apologized then gave him the keys to open the door to our house. I answered the phone after I noticed how many texts I had been avoiding, he must be mad.

"Hey, Harry!" I said to the phone and got inside following Nathan. He went upstairs probably to change his school's clothes and I sat on the couch in the living room. I heard Harry sigh.

"Thank god you are okay." I chuckled.

"Um, why? What is wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just you always reply to my texts and you did not so I got worried." I smiled, for the first time I felt important. "So, what were you doing?"

"I am sorry for not replying, but I was with Nathan. I was supposed to pick him up from school because mom is going to be late." I explained standing up and I headed to the kitchen to get drink water.

"Oh, well, I need your help," He said.

"In what?"

"I need you to come first. To my flat." After I put down the glass of water I raised my eyebrows, although he could not see it. What was so important for me to come?  

"I am sorry, I can not leave my brother alone in the house." He sighed. "But maybe tomorrow?"

"I can't! I can not waste any time."

"Woah, chill," I said laughing. 

"Text me your address." 

"Eve, what are we going to order?" Nathan said loudly from upstairs for me to hear. 

"Anything you want," I loudly said back and put the phone on my shoulder so I wouldn't hurt Harry's ears and when I looked at the phone I noticed that my battery was three percent. The phone was going to shut down at any minute.

"Harry, I gotta go! The battery is going to die at any second," I said quickly. He kept saying my name over and over before I looked at the phone again and it was official, the battery was dead. Most thing I hated ever, that was why I did not like technology. Why can't the battery hold itself for longer?

"Can we order pizza? Please, please!" Nathan ran downstairs jumping, I nodded.

After we ordered by the house's phone, the food had arrived. I had changed my clothes to a tank top and my pajama's shorts. we already made the fort. We were watching the first film of Harry Potter, but while we were watching and eating the pizza, the doorbell rang. Nathan looked at me with a confused expression as I raised my eyebrows.

"Are you expecting anyone?" He said in a low tone. I sensed how sad he was because our night could be ruined. I shook my head and stood up.

"Why don't you pause the film and I will come back, I promise." I smiled and he smiled back. He nodded and got the remote as I headed to the door and opened it.

"Oh god, I should have expected you." I leaned against the door frame and rolled my eyes.

"Remember the lesson I taught you, do not roll your eyes. That is rude, love."
