Shedding Tears [COMPLETED] #Wattys2016

Chapter 8

Its almost been fifteen minutes that we're still on the couch in my living room. I made both of us a mug of hot chocolate as we talked about what happened hours back.
'Look, i know that you and Sebastian were together a year back and now he wants to hook up with you. And i can't let him.' Harry blurts out. I look at him, completely stunned. What? Is he jealous?
'Why?' I ask him, my face straight.
He stays quiet for a while as he sips his coffee. He then speaks with a low voice 'Because he.. Umm you see hes not a good guy to hook up with and i..um c-care about y-you.' He says with decency.

I stare at him. He cares about me? Does he like me?
Don't get your hopes up, woman.
Then why does he care?
Ask him.
'Um why do you care about me?' I ask him, i hope i don't sound desperate.
'B-because i uh you know' He stutters. 'I like you' He says too fast and then looks down at the mug, emotionless. I stare at him, shocked. He likes me. He just said that right? Yeah maybe i heard him wrong.
'S-sorry what?'
He looks at me, his eyes twinkling as his forehead wrinkles a bit. He looks..adorable. Hes such a cutie i swear.

'I know this is too flat and all but i like you stacey, i really really like you.' He continues, his voice holding so much emotion and his face looks beautiful as ever. 'I like you because you're simple, and you make me feel like no other girl has ever made me feel, you ignite that spark in me that i just cant stop staring at you. You're so adorable just the way you are. I want you to be mine.' He pauses. 'I know you must think I'm just another lunatic hitting on you and my messed up reputation must bother you but i swear i would never ever break your heart, dont i deserve a chance? I really li-'
He is cut off as i lean in to kiss him. Our lips meet and i feel a smooth connection. We move in sync till i open my eyes and realise what I'm doing. I'm kissing him. I'm actually kissing him and he's doing it back.

We separate ourselves slowly, i look at his eyes and he looks at me with so much emotion and sincerity that i just cant look away. But i do. I run to my room and take two of my pills. I cry so much that i know i have bags under my eyes. I dig my head in my pillow and cry till i hear a knock at my door, after a while i feel a pressure on the bed. I look at the persons way and see Harry sitting. Neither does he smirk nor does he wink. He just smiles and puts a hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

I hug him tight that its almost impossible to break us apart. I whisper 'I love you' in his chest. He stops. Still. 'What did you say?' He asks.
'I love you so much, Harry. Thank you for always being there!' I smile and he tightens the hug. 'I love you too' he chirps. And finally, Harry Cooper is mine.
Make sure youre careful, you dont want to break your heart again.
Oh shutup Stacey, enjoy the moment.

He stays over for the night, we go outside in the balcony as we lay down. My head is on his chest as his arms are around me waist. He is occasionally stroking my hair. Im loving this moment. The stars above are so inviting, the dark sky with white dots. We dont speak anything, just lay down in eachothers arms and look up. The best night ever.

The next day we wake up in my bed. We're cuddling and sleeping. I wake up at the sound of my alarm as i see harry snuggled up beside me. He looks like a teddy bear, mine. I smile as i make my way to the washroom, careful not to wake him up. We didnt so anything last night, incase if youre wondering. We didnt even have a heavy makeout session. We just cuddled up and randomly kissed, talking romantically until we slept.

'Morning, babe.' He says as i come out of the washroom. His morning voice lets butterflies flutter in my belly. 'Morning' i smile. We have breakfast downstairs as Ben joins us. We have to visit Dads grave and then go visit my mum. Its almost one month since my mother's tragedy and we visit her almost daily. The doctors say she is responding but very slow. This still gives me hope.

I enter the graveyard, and on the far end is a tombstone in which my dad is peacefully sleeping. Ben is at his friends, so its just Harry and I at the graveyard. I carefully spread the white flowers i brought for him, i look at Harry for a while, he nods and then walks away as if reading my mind. I wanted some privacy with my dad.

'Hey dad, how are you?' I continue with a smile. 'Did you see that guy? Hes Harry Cooper, my boyfriend and an amazing man i tell you. You know mom, shes in coma at the hospital and shes very slow in responding.' My eyes start forming tears as i fight the urge of not to cry, my voice whimpers as i speak 'I hope she doesnt leave Ben and I the way you did. We have nobody except her, dont call her too soon, dad. You know i miss you. I miss all those times i spent with you, the way we used to watch late night movies having popcorn together, and the way we used to bake cakes? You remember the time when we broke mums favourite dish, the one with flowers on its back? And how we were both being scolded but we laughed right after. God, mom was so pissed.' A tear rolls down and i wipe it with the corner of my sleeve. 'I really miss you dad, please come back.'

I cry as i bury my head in my hands and silently weep. A hand rests on my shoulder. I look up to see a worried harry, i jump in his arms and press my head to his chest. He calms me down rubbing my back.
'Its okay, lets go' he whispers in my hair. I limply stand up and leave my father. We sit in his car and off we drive to visit mum.
