Chapter 13

Harry

I spread the sheet on the grass and put the food carefully on it. I made some food for us to eat while we enjoy our magical time together. Picnics were always my favorite thing to do. They still are.

I looked at my phone for the time and played around with it until I heard footsteps approaching in my direction.

"Hey." I heard a beautiful voice say. I stood up and greeted Belle with a kiss. She looked down at the food I laid out for her. She smiled, "You made this?"

"Yep." I chuckled and pulled her down to sit. She put her hand in the basket and took out the food to see what I had made.

"Alright so we have.." She took out the chicken sandwiches I made. I threw lettuce on it with some mayo. That's what makes them tasty.

"Chicken sandwiches, yum!" She grinned. Then she took out the fruits, then some juice, and then, my cupcakes.

Belle's eyes widened, "Did you make these cupcakes, Harry?"

I nodded and said, "I used to work in a bakery before I moved here."

"Wow! That's so interesting!" She looked at me and smiled.

"Let's eat!" I said, digging into the food.

As we at the food, we talked as well. "So tell me," Belle said as she removed the wrapper from the cupcake, "What was your life like before you moved here?"

I looked away from her gaze. I hated my past. It was terrible. "It's a long story to tell."

"I have time." She said and smiled, taking a bite out of the cupcake I made.

I took a deep breath, "Okay, before I moved here, I went through a really difficult breakup," I cringed at the memories that flooded in my mind, but I shook them away. "I was dating this girl, named Eva. I was so in love with her, and I was at that point where I was going to propose to her. I bought a ring and everything, which was very expensive, but then a day before my proposal to her, she told me that she was about to have a baby, and that it wasn't mine." I looked down at my hands and played around with them. "I was so heartbroken, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't do anything."

She put a hand on my shoulder, "At least you're away from her now, and much happier." She smiled.

I swear, she made me so happy, and she made me forget those days. "Thank you." I said.

She nodded, "Anytime for you, Harry, anytime for you."

I leaned in and kissed her softly, tasting the sweetness of the cupcake. I pulled away and grabbed her hands, clutching them tightly to my heart.

"But now, I know who is the right one for me, and that is you." She smiled at me, her eyes twinkling in the evening sky. "I am in love with you, Belle."

She kissed my cheek, "I'm in love with you too, Harry."

We wrapped our arms around each other, and laughed. Then she pulled away and grabbed something from her bag.

"You forgot these at my place." She gave me my sunglasses. I grabbed them and put them on her, "You can have them. They look better on you."

She chuckled, and posed in them, making me laugh.

I just hope she doesn't break my heart, like Eva.

I was in my room writing in my journal. I already dropped Belle off at her house, then I came home. Hanging out with Belle made my days so much better. If I wasn't with her, my days would be so boring, I don't know how I survived at Gram's house.

Gemma came into my room, jumped on my bed next to me.

"Hey little brother, whatcha doin?" I closed my journal, "Nothing, just writing."

"You've been apart from me lately, you haven't talked to me in a while, I'm really starting to miss my brother." She played with her hands as my face dropped. I realized I wasn't giving Gem the time I used to give her.

"Shit, Gem I'm sorry. I just-." I paused. I want to tell her about Belle and the time I've been giving her.

"You just what?" She asked.

"Gem, you remember that girl at Aunt Victoria's house?"

Her eyebrows narrowed, "Allie? Ew I hate that girl!" She made a disgusted face. I chuckled, "No, no Belle."

She smiled, "Oh, she was so sweet and gorgeous! I loved talking to her because she was-." She stopped talking and turned serious, "What about her? Are you guys dating?!" She shrieked.

"Well, yeah. Yeah, I'm dating her."

"Holy shit," she held her head and laughed, "I knew it!"

I chuckled, "I was with her mostly. But I'm really sorry for not spending time with you."

"Hey, it it was Allie, then I would be mad, but Belle? Give her all the time in the world man!"

She was the best sister, and I was happy she was mine, she was there to support me every time.

I hugged her tightly, "I'm in love with her, Gemma. You don't understand how crazy she drives me."

She hugged me back, "I can tell. Did you say that to her yet?"

"Yes."

"What did she say?" She asked curiously. I smiled, "She said it back."

"YES!" She threw her hand up in the air, and did a victory dance.

She was the best.
