The Unwanted Two

Chapter 7

"My dad had left us when I was 8. When my mum became ill we had no one to take care of us. She was also in the hospital a lot. My sister and I sometimes missed school just to stay in the hospital and to be with her. The doctors didn't expect much from her. We tried to go with my dad but he didn't want us." Harry's voice was cracking. I looked at him and he had tears in his eyes. I reached out for his hands. "Harry. Are you ok?" I asked him. He nodded and hold his cry in.

"He said that he left for a reason. He didn't want to hear from us every again. He said he wouldn't give a crap if my mum dies." I gasped at what Harry said. That is just crazy. Who the fuck would say that? I know who. I fucking bastard.

"Yeah and when I did go to school I would get bullied and all. I couldn't deal wth the pain so I began cutting. This one time Gemma found me with dripping blood coming from my wrist. She ran to me and and calmed me down. I couldn't go on with the hurt from everyone. She asked me why I did this and I told her everything." His voice was breaking.

"I told her that broke her to cry, is I said to her. Why doesn't he want me? What in the world did I do to make him hate me." His voice fades/cracks at the last word. My heart breaks for him. It felt like he was really asking me.

"Harry." I said softly. He looked me in the eyes and asked again,"Erika. Why doesn't my own father want me." Tears are falling down his face. I pulled him in for a hug. His tears hit my shoulder. I felt his wet tears. I rubbed his back. "It's ok Harry. You cry all you want. I will be here to help you." I said in a soothing voice.

"Erika... Why doesn't he want us?" He cried. "Harry. It's ok. If your dad doesn't want you then it's ok. He doesn't have to be apart of your life. You want to keep the people who love in your life. If people don't want to be apart of your life, well it's there loss. Harry you are such a sweetheart. Anyone would be lucky to have you apart of their life. Harry I lov- I am happy you are a part of my life." I said. I changed my words quickly. I was so close to saying the "L" word to to Harry. "We're you.....were you gonna say." He froze. He know knew I knew what he meant.

Crap, he heard me. "Yeah..."  I said. It had become quiet. Harry is just staring at me. Our faces aren't far away. Most of Harry's tears were gone. "Harry. I love you." I whispered. He leaned in and kissed me.

Harry was the first person to talk to me and now the first person to kiss me. I felt fireworks were going off. I didn't know what to do so I stood still. I didn't know how to kiss. But his lips just being on mine was enough to make me go crazy.

He leaned back and realized what he did. His eyes were wide and I was normal. "Erika, I" he stopped."I got to go home." He stood up and I stopped him.

"Harry. Wait." I got up and stood next to him. He was a bit taller. I felt a grew courage and kissed him again. Harry kissed me back. "I-I love you too Erika." He said nervously. I smiled so big.

His words ring in my head.

I love you too Erika.
