Jim's POV

The ride back home after dropping Janet was awkwardly silent. Harry seemed to be lost in his thoughts and I just hoped he wasn't mad at me because I didn't tell him about the self harm. I actually lied.

We both looked at each other awkwardly.

"Sorry!" We both said it together and looked at each other smiling.

"Uh no man. I'm sorry. I got a bit mad at you. I just felt you didn't trust me." Harry said.

"I do trust you, Harry. I lied because not everyone reacts to it the way you guys did. but after what Adam told me, I feel I was wrong. Sorry for lying." I said with guilt on my face.

"Its okay, man. Chill." Harry said giving me a reassuring smile.

"Thanks." I said nervously. Thank God! He is not mad at me!

"So if I can ask, why did you do it anyways?" Harry asked me. "I mean tell me only if it's cool with you. No pressure."

Well, I'm not sure if I should tell him about it. I mean he doesn't know I'm gay.Getting to know about me being gay and me doing self harm on the same day will be like a Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

I began, "Uh the topic just brings back a lot of feelings like rejection, sorrow and betrayal. So ummm..."

"Chuck it dude. I understand. Let's not talk about bad things." Harry said smiling at me. And then Harry did something which I didn't expect him to do at that moment. He held my hand and intertwined our fingers, kept our hands on my lap and gazed at me with his lovely blue eyes and then turned his gaze back to the road.

"If anything happens in the future, however bad it is, you will tell me okay? Promise me." Harry said nonchalantly.

I gazed at our hands and the way he had firmly held my hand and then I gazed at his handsome face and then whispered a 'yes'.

Well today I was sure that Harry likes me. But we both are feeling shy from saying it. But today I'm gonna try it. His touch at that time and the feeling of his fingers intertwined with mine gave me a feeling that I am strong. Harry makes me strong. And I felt really confident. Whatever happens in the future, I know now for sure that Harry will always be with me. And today I'm gonna be a bit confident and make my move.

We reached home. Harry parked the car and we went inside the house. There was no one. Julie was gonna be late and so was Jacques. Just then I remembered that Harry had planned to go for jogging with me. I mean, I would obviously want to go but I guess Harry must have forgotten about it. Must be tired after today's fun.

"I haven't forgotten." Harry said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I said I haven't forgotten. Jogging." He said smiling at me and doing the jogging action while saying jogging which made me a slightly giggle. Was I loud?

"No, you weren't. But now you are!" He said laughing.

I was so red with embarrassment and blushing.

"Man!" Harry said laughing, "You're too cute!"

Did he just call me that?

I pinched myself.
