The Sexton House - Harry Styles * COMPLETED*

31.

Harry's POV

I watch as Anna slowly fades away to nothing. I reach my hand out to where she was just sitting, and My hand whips through the air as expected. I stay seated for several minutes before finally getting up and starting home. Since we walked- well, more we ran here it will take awhile.

My thoughts seem to find their way back to Anna, as they usually do. She is such an odd soul. There is so much mystery about this girl, I can't keep her off my mind. I know the more I think about her the more I will wonder.

It's odd how I have grown so attached to her so quickly, but there is just something about her that makes me want to learn more. I feel like I am supposed to protect her from this cruel world. She has already been through so much I can't stand the thought of her enduring anymore. I mean she is just a lost soul wanting to go home, but that's just it, she doesn't have a home or resting place she is stuck here left to fend for herself. Someone has to take care of her, and I know she has taken care of herself for years, but it's never to late to show someone what love can be like. Love doesn't always have to be shown through sexual acts or buying of gifts. Love can be as simple as taking care of someone because being loved is about feeling belonged and wanted even if you're broken in so many pieces that it takes a certain type of person to put you back to being whole again.

I guess you could say I'm slowly falling in love with Anna Sexton, the ghost in the tower window. If only she was alive this might actually work out. I know Jane has something for me and at one time I felt something for her too, but it's different now. I don't know what it was about tonight that just made it feel so right, but it did and I want everyday to feel like today. It's hard though having feelings for a dead girl, because well, she's dead and there's nothing I can do about that.

I finally come up on my street and jog the rest of the short walk to my house. I open the door since it wasn't locked, due to forgetting earlier when we left the house. I kick off my shoes at the door and leave them sitting there. I head to the kitchen for a glass of water and grab a bag of chips while I'm at it. I take my food to my room and get comfortable. I switch on the TV and flip through the channels before deciding on the History Channel. Soon after I fall asleep to the sound of the TV.

I wake up the next morning to the sound of rain hitting the roof in droplets. I roll over on my side trying to find a comfy position, but am surprised to be met with Anna standing before my bed. I jump back in pure shock and grab at my heart.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Anna apologies, covering her mouth.

"It's alright it just shocked me." I laugh off the little heart attack I just had and get out of bed. I head to the kitchen and Anna follows closely behind like a lost puppy.

"I made you breakfast." I turn to look at Anna, she has her hands behind her back and her head is tilted to the side as she gazes down at the floor.

"You didn't have to, but thank you." I say, as I look over at the table filled with bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. It looks delicious.

"It's okay, I really wanted to do something for you. Last night was...Amazing and I honestly can't thank you enough for helping me leave that room." Anna says as she sits down at the table. I take a big bite of the food before saying,

"It was really nothing, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I had a really great time too." I continue to eat my food as Anna repeatedly thanks me for helping her leave the tower window.

"So tell me, do you work anywhere?" I'm pretty sure I have already mentioned this, but I go ahead and tell her again anyway.

"I work at the cemetery behind the house." What I said seemed to spark something inside of her. Anna's eyes bugged slightly before saying,

"Do you work today?" I nod my head remembering I have to be outside in about thirty minutes. " Yes, I do." I get up to wash my plate off before putting it in the dish washer along with the others ones. I put some of the leftovers in the fridge for later.

"Oh, well maybe sometime I could go with you. I haven't been back there in years."

"Do you know people that is buried in there?" I ask, hoping I don't trigger anything.

"Yes, someone very special..." She trails off. " Well if you want to maybe you could come later tonight when it's dark." She nods her head before standing from her seat and saying,

"That would be lovely." After that Anna leaves, going back upstairs and shutting the door. I stay standing in the kitchen leaning on the counter, still endlessly thinking about her.

OMG I UPDATED!!! I'm so sorry for not updating, I had a HUGE writers block.
