Him vs Her

Chapter 34

For some reason my bedroom door was wide open, probably because whenever my mum comes inside she always seems to forget to close it, it drives me crazy! I got up and was about to close it shut when I heard the doorbell ring. Who could it be at this hour? I shrugged and rushed down the stairs. I swung the door open...only to see Harry standing right before me. What's he doing here?

"Harry?" I asked. He lunged towards me and wrapped his arms around me. He hugged me so tight; I literally feel my bones cracking. This is my kind of hug! The bone-crushing ones are always the best. His actions were confusing to me but I hugged him back nonetheless. And there we were, standing in the doorway, hugging as tight as a camels arse in sand storm, in the middle of the night. After our long and tight embrace we let go of each other. I took a got look at him, his hands were now shoved into his pants, he was looking down at his shoe and no words left his mouth, something was wrong... "Are you alright? Did something happen?" I asked, worried.

"I just had this huge fight with my dad..." He sighed. I could tell he was trying to spare me the details...for whatever reason that was, I wasn't going to try and force him to tell me something he doesn't feel comfortable telling me but I do have to know if he's fine or not and to me...he doesn't look too fine. "C-can I sleep over...for the night?" He asked, nervously scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed.

"Yeah sure!" I said while grabbing him by the shoulder and pulling him inside. "Stay down here while I tell my parents" I said to Harry, he nodded. I went upstairs and into their room.

"Mum! Dad! Ummm....Harry's having problems with his parents, so...can he, like...stay the night?" Oh damn, that rhymed. I'm such a genius...a poetic genius.

"Oh goodness!" My mum gasped. "Is he alright?" Well gee, no need to be a drama queen about iy.

"No yeah, yeah, he's fine. He just doesn't want to talk about it..." Truth was...I had no idea if he was okay or not but I intend to find out, one way or another.

"Well...He can stay but I think I'm going to call Anne and let he know he's here"

"How do you know if he told her he went out or not?" I asked my psychic mother.

"Just to double check! I know how you teenagers can be" My mum said grabbing her phone. ummm....I'm a little offended now.

"Oh! And honey, he'll be sleeping on the couch" My dad, who had remind silent during our conversation finally spoke up.

"Yeah okay!" I said heading out, closing the door behind me. Like we've never slept in a bed together, oh out parents think we're so innocent. It's amusing. Harry was already lying on the couch by the time I got downstairs, he's making himself at home!

"What did they say?" Harry asked, curios little thing isn't he?

"Nothing much, you can stay! But you'll have to sleep on the couch" He pouted but I smirked. "But they didn't say anything about me" I said as I winked. He smiled brightly and that made me smile back. I switched the living room television on and grabbed a blanket, just in case we get cold and forget how to cuddle. Harry sat on the couch and started watching some action movie, he was really into it, I could tell by the way he was staring at the television. I took a seat next to him and tried to focus on the movie but I could not understand a single thing that was happening. Harry leaned on my shoulder and whispered in my ear.

"Happy early birthday, short stuff" I rolled my eyes at the words but thanked him. He kissed my cheek and I returned it by placing a kiss on his lips. Harry lied down on the couch as he yawned. "Goodnight, cherry berry" He whispered as he dozed off. His yawn made me yawn. I lay on his stomach, which I must say is very comfortable, I closed my eyes and after a few moments I slept as well.
