Salem 

When i awoke the next morning my hands were numb under my torso , i searched my surroundings and my heart leapt . It was a dream. I gather myself and head towards the door trying to trust that it was the truth, nothing happened . I halted when i heard a loud cough , inhaling deeply i allowed the smell of pancakes to slither through my oesophagus . My tummy rumbled for what felt like the first time in a long time . I stuffed my freezing feet into my comfy slippers and put some pyjama pants over my legs. Then slowly and steadily i waltzed down to the kitchen . I screamed ' HARRY , what the f*ck this is a dream '. I tried to shake myself awake pinching my bare arms but nothing happened . This was real. The tall boy turned around sheepishly showing all of his teeth in a big dimpled smile . He shook his head ' that was too funny , you thought i was fake ' he said grinning from ear to ear . I frowned looking at him ' so you did kill that guy then '? i questionably asked . 'i did not kill him ' Harry hissed in a tone i was not used to . 'I was defending myself , he was going to kill you ' Harry bowed his head as if he was hurt internally . I slyly frowned feeling guilty . ' What did the police say ?' i questioned in a nervous tone . ' Nothing , they told all of your flatmates or whatever to not make false reports and then buggered off'. He grinned , and shook his head ' i still can't believe that you thought i was a dream ' he giggled like a small child. 'Because if i was a dream it would mean that you were thinking about me ' he winked and then turned back to his pancakes.

We ate together bantering about the new bachelor season ' Olivia will win ' he teased . 'I think that Amanda will' i mimicked in a bored tone. We laughed, then he got up. ' We need to get rid of the body 'he glowered , his neck swaying to the floor . ' Let's do it now then get it over and done with ' i pressured reassuring him that it was okay. We made our way upstairs and entered the room . ' Ah , it stinks in here' i grimaced pinching my nose into a tight barrier. 'Salem, he's dead what did you expect? 'Harry asked nonchalantly . I gulped trying to free my lungs , we heaved the body down the stairs and threw the dead man into the garbage bin. Harry winced , i looked at the place he was facing. Blood poured out of his side and down  his leg . 'Harry what happened , i questioned '. ' Nothing , Nothing ' he reassuringly said to me . 'You got shot didn't you' i asked scarcely trying to stay on his calm side . 'You say it like it's a bad thing 'he chortled.I smiled , ' let me get you a bandage okay ' i asked . He nodded. I walked out of the cold snow and back into the house. The wintry wooden floors pierced my toes as i hurried across them. Steam rushed out of my mouth as i breathed in and out calmly . I hurried into the small bathroom and unpacked the first aid kit. I found some disinfectant , a stitching needle readied with thread  and a bunch of cotton bandage . I slipped into a warm black jumper and shuffled back out to Harry in the glaciac snow.

'Thanks ' He said after i finished cleaning stitching and bandaging his bullet wound.' It was nothing ' i said in a joking voice and chuckling. He smiled . 'How can i ever repay you ' he asked winking at me slyly . ' I know one thing ' i joked , he grinned ' Oh i can think of something too' he said leaning in towards me , his eyes flicking from my eyes to my lips . He leaned in and hushed me before i could say anything else . My stomach fluttered as his warm plush lips moulded to my own. I pulled away , ' do you need anything ' i asked ?He smiled in a flattering way and flushed , i need to take you some where he said before standing up and walking into the house. 

Get Ready Salem you have ten minutes before we runaway . I tilted my head , Runaway ?
