"So, I'm guessing you've never been to Alcatraz?"
"Alca-what?"
"Exactly."
Harry and I are in a sock shop, at fisherman's warf.
"Shamrock socks, perfect for Niall." He said. I Iaughed and picked up a pair of socks with cats on them.
"How about these? Perfect for Ed."
Harry laughed and grabbed them.
"You know what, I'm going to get those."
"For Ed?"
"Ha, no. For me."
I smiled and rolled my eyes. Harry walks up to the cashier with the socks. I'm really having a good time with Harry. I feel like this next year together will be great...but am I replacing Ed? no, no, of course not. Well...
"So where to?" Harry asks as he skips out of the shop. I smile, and shake my head.
"There's more shops, or the aquarium,"
"The aquarium sounds lovely, may we?"
"Yes we may." I laugh and he interlocks our arms together. At first, I feel like I should pull away, but I don't. We walk up the steps to the aquarium door, arm in arm.
"Two tickets please," I say to the woman at the front desk. Her eyes suddenly grow wide with excitement. She's probably a really big One Direction fan.
"Oh my...oh my god, it's really you!"
"Yeah, hello I'm Harry." Harry grins.
"Oh, hello Harry, but I was actually talking about her, Melinda Ramone! I'm a huge fan!"
I was in shock, I didn't really know what to say.
"Awh, thank you!"
"Can you please sign....sign .." She looked around for paper. Instead, she stuck out her arm.
"Sign my arm!"
I laughed and nodded.
"Nice meeting you-" I looked at her name tag. "Samantha. Hugs and kisses, Melinda Ramone."
"Thank you so much, I'm going to get this tattooed." Samantha jumped with excitement. I looked over at Harry who was a bit in shock as well, seeing that Samantha didn't know who he was.
"I'm going to tomorrow night's show," Samantha said.
"Really? that's great! I hope we meet again."
She thanked me and fangirled like I used to about the Jonas Brothers.
"Alright, well enjoy the fishes."
***********
Harry and I sat in front of a large tank, side by side, watching turtles, sting rays, and blurs of fish swim by.
We were both quiet for a moment, after an hour of dying of laughter. Harry made me smile, a lot. I felt like a little girl again, happy and safe.
"Melinda, can I ask you something?"
Harry said as he leaned his head on my shoulder. I smiled as a shark swam by.
"Of course, anything."
"What happened between you and your family?"
"Oh." I didn't know what else to say.
"I'm sorry for asking."
"No, it's alright, just, why bring it up?"
"My mind just keeps going back to seeing Ed in the hospital."
"Did he tell you something? About my family?"
"He said it was conplicated."
"Trust me, it is. Don't worry about it."
"Ok. One last thing?"
"Yeah, Harry?"
"I saw you two...kissing..."
