Chapter Fifteen

"Sorry about what I said." He finally broke the silence.

"It's fine." I said.

"I got really mad."

"I realize." I said, taking his swollen hand into my small ones. I rubbed my thumb over the broken skin and he winced, but didn't pull away. I could feel his eyes on me.

"It's not bad." He said quietly.

He then took my hand in his large, rough hands. He held both of my hands in one of his. His eyes looked at my wrists again. I wanted to pull away but I didn't.

I heard him let out a long sigh, I was relieved he didn't ask me about the scars.

I felt like Harry and I were the only ones in the entire house. I didn't feel awkward at all in silence that filled the room.

"Thanks for letting me stay, I really didn't want to go back to the stupid party." He said.

"Why do you come to these then?"

"Why do you?"

"Where else am I gonna go?" I laughed.

"Answered your own question." He responded.

We continued to talk about different things, music, politics.

"You're not even American." Was my strongest argument.

"Fair enough." He laughed.

"Go on a date with me." He added.

"Fine." I surprised both of us by saying.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, don't ask again or I'll change my mind."

"This could count as our first date." He said.

"My first date ever." I laughed.

"Why don't you date people? I mean you obviously get around." He said.

I was somewhat offended. "I don't know, it just seems stupid."

"Yeah it kind of is." He said.

"Who have you dated?" I asked.

"Errmm.. Paige, Shay, Allison, Kar-"

"Okay, I get it." I cut him off, which made him laugh.

"So why really don't you date?" He asked again. God he was nosey.

I just shrugged. I didn't really know, I just knew no matter what it wouldn't work out.

"Why do you let people use you?" He asked.

"Who says I'm not using them?" A smile crept on his face with my answer.

"You're something else."

I smiled.

Then without warning he leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. No one has ever kissed me on the cheek, besides Belle, and her Grandma.

My smile dissipated.

He laughed to himself.

"You're the worst." I said.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"No more of that." I said.

He smiled, like he was very proud of himself.

"Alright I promise."

He could act like a maniac, or like a nine year old little kid.

"What's your brothers name?" He asked randomly.

"Nate."

"He kind of looked like you." He added.

I just stared at my hands.

"Sorry, no more personal questions." He said.

"You haven't told me anything about yourself." I responded.

"Im from England."

"no, really? Oh My gosh that's like so hot." I said sarcastically.

"You haven't asked any questions."

"Maybe because I'm not nosey."

"Im not nosey."

"Yea you are." I told him.

"Im just curious, it's up to you if you tell me stuff." I hated that he was kind of right.

"Fine then I won't tell you stuff."

"Fine." He said smiling.

His eyes then looked down at my exposed legs.

I wanted to hide my exposed body. I didn't act like it but I wasn't the most confident person, not like Belle or a bunch of other girls. I hated my body, i coudnt gain weight. Ive had to go to guidance many times for being anorexic, even though i definietly am not, but its not like food is free. On top of that, i could never get my hair right, and I had stupid freckles. I slid further under the covers and watched Harry's lips turn into a frown.

"You-" He started to say but stopped himself.

"You always do that it's really annoying." I told him.

He just smiled.

"Oooops." He said with a huge smile.

He lied further down, his tattoos were fully exposed. I wondered what all the stories behind the many markings were, what each one meant to him. Or they could just be stupid and random. I knew he noticed me examining his torso and arms, but I didn't care.

"You could be a little less obvious." He giggled.

"Yeah I could." I responded.

He shifted his body again, getting more comfortable.

"Im tired." I said.

"This was a good first date." He said back.

"Night Harry."

"Goodnight beautiful."

And with that, I gave him a kick right to his shin and fell asleep.
