Hold Me Til The End

Shall We?

Kaelin's POV

I took a step back in shock, but didn't travel far. My feet felt weak and heavy. Startled would be an understatement, yet I couldn't move my attention from his eyes.

My phone vibrated in my pocket making a clear 'buzz'.

My eyes darted to my pocket as my fingers reached for the phone.

Harmonie.

My thumbs race across the screen to open her message.

"can't believe it! I'm going to be a published author! xx"

I'm so proud of her! This has always been her dream and now it's really happening.

"Great job, sis! xx" *message sent*

He rested his hands around my waist as I put my phone away.

I smiled and looked back up at the boy.

"what's your name anyway?" I spoke up.

"Harry. And yours?" He said with a smirk.

"Kaelin."

"Well, Kaelin, it seems like you were having a rough time back there. Would you like to join me for the day? I was going to hang around town."

"umm... sure." I hesitantly responded.

"Cool" he smiled showing off a cheeky grin.

Harmonie's POV

I gave the boy a huge hug pulling him in close. I couldn't thank him enough for his actions. He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and held me still.

"How could I ever repay you?" I said, my face burried into his shoulder.

He pulled back and said, "Let me see your phone" with a smile.

I reach into my pocket but there's nothing there. I panic and look into the street. A crushed device lay spread across the asphalt.

My eyes fall back on the boy's with a soft look.

"Well, um." I motion my head towards the road then return to him.

He chuckles, "no problem. call me when you get home."

He searches through his bag laying on the side of the curb and pulls out a sharpie.

"Got any paper?" he asks kind of blurry. I shoot an 'are you serious' look.

"oh. right. well umm.." he looks around and finally takes my hand and scribbles down what I believe to be his number.

He pulls the marker away and caps it, throwing it in the open bag. I glance down at my newly stained hand.

*Beau: XXX-XXX-XXXX call me<3*

"Beau." I repeat under my breath.

"Will you?" He asks, not hearing my repitition.

I nod and give him another hug.

"I'll talk to you later, then." I reassure.

"I hope so" he says with a flirtatious smile.
