Love Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Chapter 3

My eyes lazily open and I notice my head on Harry's shoulder. I don't even remember falling asleep last night. I try to wiggle free from Harry's arm without waking him, but I stop myself. I close my eyes in pleasure, taking in the moment. Harry always makes me feel protected, that's one of the reasons I love him. Once I'm out, I start making breakfast for Harry and me.

"Mmm, is that bacon I smell?"

I smile

"You're finally up Harry! Haha!"

I hear footsteps come into the kitchen, then I feel Harry's strong arms wrap around my waist from behind. He sets his forehead on the top of my head and whispers,

"If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have made it through the night. You saved my life, Grace. I don't think I can ever repay you for everything you've done for me."

I feel my eyes start to tear up. The thought of harry committing suicide makes me feel empty inside. I spin around and as I look into Harry's eyes, I realise how much pain he has been holding in since that night. I close my eyes and put myself into the situation Harry is in right now. I feel another tear roll down my face, then another, and another.

"Harry, how do you deal with this everyday?"

I jump into his arms and wrap my legs around him. The tears keep coming and I can't make them stop. I bury my head into his chest, trying to stop the tears.

"I have you, you always make my day brighter and happier."

I lift my chin up and stare into those deep green eyes...I force myself to resist the urge to kiss him. If only he knew how I truly felt about him! Sometimes I feel like there is a true connection between both of us, but I know Harry loves Natalie still. my brain is telling me to move on, but my heart will always be with Harry.
