"So what's the meaning behind them?" I ask touching the fresh fern printed leaves softly.

"There's not much of a meaning."

He states honestly, sucking in a breath of air when my finger tips trace the lines of his tattoo. The redness that surrounds it makes me wonder how much it hurts when the needle is pressed against your skin. Harry took it well, clenched his fist a few times and squeezed his eyes shut at some point but that's understandable.

"How do you get a tattoo with no meaning?"

"Im not sure. But that's not important, it's Halloween soon." He looks at me raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah so?"

"What are you planning to dress up as?" He positions his body to face mines.

"Not sure. Probably myself." I smile ignoring his glare.

"Well Im planning to dress up as Edward ScissorHands you should dress up as Kim." He runs his hand through his hair lays back against the couch.

"That's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll think about it."

"Well, what do you want to do these last few hours?" He tilts his head to the side his hands resting in his lap.

"Anything really."

I stand from the couch walking around the back into the kitchen leaning against the marble counter.

"How about staying in watching movies or-"

"Going to your house?" I offer wondering why he never brought me around his place.

"Or going out downtown..."

I study his face, his lips pressed in a straight line while his eye wander everywhere to avoid looking at me.

"Why don't you want to?" I ask.

"Why do you want to?" He ask.

"Touché. But seriously Harry." I grabbed his wrist throwing my head back.

"Fine. Lets go."

He pulls his wrist from my hand standing up from the couch and grabbing his sweater. Quickly I scramble to my feet and zip up my sweater following Harry out the door locking it behind me.

The car ride was silent, not awkward silence but comfortable silence. Im curious to see what he doesn't want me too and the reason behind it, to see the real him and who he actually is as a person not the person at school.

"Here it is."

He turns into a driveway parking in front of the garage. His house is a creamy color with pure green grass outside that have flower pots line along the side of the house making it look less dull. The tree besides it is leaned a little to the side blocking the sun from a room and the barking of a dog is heard from inside.

"Well they know Im here now." Harry sighs grabbing hand gently pulling me towards the door.

Before his hand reaches to knock on the door it's pulled opened a woman pulls him in and hugs him tight. The woman who I suspect is his mom pulls aways taking a look at her son before wrapping her arms around him again. He groans jokingly pulling away and bringing me to his side.

"This is Alexa. Alexa this is my mother."

I smile politely as she pulls me into a bone-crushing hug, I hug her back wrapping my arms around her tiny frame feeling welcomed. We pull back as she apologizes explaining that Harry just never brings company let alone a girl around.

"It's fine. I love hugs." I tell her truthfully.

She shoots me a smile before walking down the hall leaving Harry and I alone. He shoves his hands in his front pockets and shrugs walking into the same direction as his mom with me following close behind.

I admire the cream colored walls with paintings and family photos place around. I notice his dad in some but as the picture become recent he doesn't appear in any just Harry, his mother, another guy and a girl who facial features are very similar to Harrys'.

"Alexa?" Harry calls my name waiting for me to follow.

"Sorry."
