Chapter 10
____________
I unfold my large hand and begin to stare at it; thinking of ways to break it too her. Thinking of ways that won't won't hurt her as much, because hurting her is the last thing I want to do.
I was so ravelled in my thoughts I didn't notice her approach me and stand no more then thirty cm from me. She places one hand on top of my palm and one underneath. She slowly raises them to her glossy lips and kisses them before entwining them with mine and walk down the stairs and out to the car.
I swing open Leah's side car door and lay my hand out. She grabs it cheerfully and jumps up into the car. She grins at me as I shut the car door and run around to my side. I open the door and jump in. Frozen... As soon as I looked at her sparkling blue eyes my body froze.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
"Nothing. Your just so beautiful, especially when you smile."
I unfreeze and turn the ignition on before driving off down the road. She entwines her fingers with mine as she Texts Sarah with her free hand. Sarah and her are always texting or calling. I wish I had a friend like that, one that knew all my deepest, darkest secrets. I mean I have the guys; Louis, Liam, Niall and zayn, but they don't know my secret and they never will, if i can help it. So I don't have a specially close friend like that, which makes what I'm about to do even harder.

Leah's POV
Harry pulls the car up on the curb, out front of an old, half- collapsed double story building.
"Is this what the surprise was? Taking me to a scary building so you hoped I would cuddle you?" I ask, giggling.
"Something like that." Harry replies, with a half-hearted grin.
He jumps out of the car and races around to my side as usual, wanting to assist me in getting out of the car. As I look around I notice a large number of cars lining the footpath. I guess it is night-time, so not many people would still be out.
Harry wakes me from my trance and I jump out of the car.
We both stand on the footpath looking over to the house, hand in hand. Something's not right though.
"So why did I need to wear a cocktail dress for this?" I'm really confused. What is happening?
"You'll see." Harry replies mysteriously.
"Harry, I'm scared. What's going on?" He turns to face me, taking my second hand in his. He looks me directly in the eyes, sincerity clear in his voice.
"I didn't want to tell you where we where going because I was scared that if I did you wouldn't come." He pauses choking down some unwanted reveal of tears. Then continues, "through those doors is a party. Hence the dress; loud music, drunk teens, flashing lights, fights. The whole Sha-bang. However, we aren't going to the party, we are going down to the basement. I know your probably really frightened right now Leah, but I need you to trust me.."
"I do already trust you Harry." I interrupt, before he kisses my forehead and continues.
"So there is a lot of people in a tiny space in there, so you have to hold me tight and don't let go, cause the crowd will push you out of the way." He directs me.
"Why here, why now?" I question.
"There is the same party here every Saturday night. When we go into the basement I will show you why I can't come here anytime. I need the loudness of the music and the crowd to dull my sound down. Just trust me, Promise?"
"Promise." I confirm.
Our lips connect in a passionate kiss before he wraps his hand around my waste as we make our way to the door. I hold his shirt as tight as possible, knowing the parties can get pretty push and shove.
Harry knocks on the door and a tall brunette man answers. The party is way overcrowded then expected, and the man is pushed out the door by the moving crowd.
"Hazza! How's it going? Been a long time since I have seen you here?" The tall man says.
"Yeah I've been busy." He looks to me and winks. I loved Harry's cheeky side.
"and who is your little lady?" He asks checking me up and down.
"Keep you eyes of Sam; this is my girlfriend, Leah." He latch around my back tightens.
"Ohh la la. Hazza has a girlfriend!" he teases.
