If I.

|Chapter 27|

Fran's POV

"Mom! Are you home!" I shouted as I entered the small apartment.

It's only 5:00 pm and Harry should be here soon.

When I don't hear a response I trudge to my room and pick out my outfit.

......................................................

"You look beautiful" Harry kissed my cheek, as we entered the small restaurant. I blushed as Harry protectively wrapped his arm around my waist as the male hostess stared a little to long in my direction.

My dress isn't short..

"Show us to our table" Harry snapped at the young boy, causing him to hastily  nod and grab the menus, while practically sprinting in the direction of the perfectly lined tables.

......................................................

"Are you okay" Harry asked concerned, from across the table.

"Oh yeah, totally" I nodded, but he didn't let it go.

"No you're not" his eyes narrowed.

I had the sudden urge to roll my eyes but stopped once I remembered what happened earlier today.

"Something happened today" I finally got out.

"What exactly"

I sighed, "I saw Amber"

I looked up to see his reaction, but it was still the same.

"She said something" I swallowed down the bile with the thought of her messing with my mother.

Harry's face fell, "She told you"

"No" I shook my head, "I ran before she could get the words out."

A look of relief crossed his face, "good"

"What did.. You think she said" I asked, curious. What did he know that I didn't.

Alarm quickly flashed across his face but soon the waiter approached with our meals, saving him from explaining.

...................................................

"Do you want to sleep over again" Harry laid his jacket on my shoulders, shielding me from the cold air as we walked to the car.

I shook my head causing him to sigh.

"Fran, please don't be mad at me"

"Tell me everything that you know or take me home" I huffed, crossing my arms.

He nodded slowly, before rubbing the back of his neck.

"This was.. Before I even knew you"

As Harry began to explain I felt my heart tighten and my eyes dampen.

"No" I choked back a sob, shaking my head.

Harry hung his head in shame, "I know I should have told you sooner"
