seeing with stars | h.s

•Chapter 40•

((A/N: This is a picture of the concert I went to. OTRA KC was amazing. The song playing was Little Things. Or 18... I wish I remembered. :/))

{Harper}

As we walk through the arches of orange and yellow leaves, hand in hand, I feel my hand being gently pulled, to a stop.

I look around, seeing Harry staring down at me.

"What?" I ask playfully.

"You're just, so beautiful. I don't think I could've picked a better lady then you." He gives me a wide smile, showing off his deep dimples.

Its been 2 months since our 'scene' on top if my car... but it feels like it was just yesterday. I can still feel his lips and the touch of his hand. Jake ended up moving away a few weeks later, but I barely noticed because it was only harry that I was ever thinking about.

There was something different about Harry, it was the way he looked at me... It make me feel small, but enough to fit in his arms, the feeling of love was overwhelmed when we hugged, and I could get lost in his eyes forever. When he is smiling, his eyes seem to light up, but only a fee times Ive noticed, they turn a dark, deep grey green.

He and I walk over to a bench nearby to take a seat, "How have things been recently? Like with your friends? " Im nervous for him, as I am kinda protective.

"Well, Liam has gotten close, but he's been acting kinda strange..." He turns to look at the red flowers at his feet. His mood seemed to fall on the topic of his friends. I hope everything is alright.

Strange... what does he mean? Liam has always been a nice boy, a little shy though.

"Im sure its, just... he will be okay." I give him a shaken laugh, meant to sound reassuring.

He tilts his head to the side and fumbles with his fingers. I notice those soft, dark eyes, and it gives me a nervous feeling. What if theres more to this he's not telling me?

I rest my head on his shoulder, looking at his shoelaces.

*Beep*

I sit up to check my phone and see who it is, Harry doesn't move an inch.

Mom: Where are you!? And why aren't the dishes done? When you get home, you have a lot of explaining to do. Oh and one last thing. You are grounded and you an say goodbye to your laptop.

"Crap." I whisper while slapping my up hands to cover my face.

"Whats wrong?" His voice is low and rough.

"Its my mom. Im grounded and I have to go home." As I stand up from the bench, rolling my eyes, I feel that the atmosphere has gotten sticker, thick like honey.

Large, dark, almost black clouds rolled in over-head. Turning my face to the sky, I feel the pinpricks of water on my forehead.

I turn to face Harry, who has left the bench and already begun to walk away underneath the colored trees. I grab our stuff including Harry's half eaten sandwich.

Harry always finishes off his food... somethings up I can tell.

As I catch up to him, I can see the scowl on his face. The sprinkles in the air quickly changed to heavy rain. I quick sat to stick the sandwich and my phone back in my bag, while fishing for the car keys.

Remembering that we parked 3 blocks away from the park, I begin to rush, but leaving Harry alone would be terrible. The rain had gotten so loud, I have to shout just to talk to Harry. My hair is stuck to my cheeks and ears. Harry's is flattened but still with a light curl.

I grab his hand in mine, feeling them ice cold and shaking. I take a look at him and forget that he is only wearing a black tee shirt and jeans. His shirt is stuck, clinging to his body. I stop his walking and turn him towards me. Peeling off my trench coat, I wrap it around his shoulders, hiving him a huge hug.

Feeling Harry shake like that, it scares me. And, what changed his mood so fast? What if this has been happening longer than I thought?

My mind shoots straight to his arms, forcing my head to take a a glance at his shaking forearms tucked to his chest, a shiver traveling up my spine bringing me back to the day we were in the car.

He takes a quick look at me, bear hugging him with my head on his shoulder. My eyes wander to his, but the connection is broken off by a crack of thunder.

My shoes gave begun to fill with water, but we walk through the storm like it was a quiet fall morning.

Neither of us speak a word.
