Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 2

"Harry, Lily we need to talk"

My heart started to beat a mile a minute. I felt like it would beat right out of my chest. I can't be moved, I can't. I can't be without Harry. He's been with me for almost 12 years. Just as I was about to try and come up with a lame excuse when Elizabeth started to speak.

"Someone would like to adopt both of you."

"Excuse me I couldn't hear that over the sound of Lily's jaw dropping," Harry said with a smirk.

I playfully punched him in the arm before I started to speak. "Who is she ma'am?"

"She's a single 31 year old woman who's a surgeon. She decided she wanted older children to keep her company. Don't worry I already informed her of you two and you sneaking off to see each other."

I felt my cheeks turn the same shade as a rose. The fact Harry was laughing at me didn't help. "Ma'am I- w-we don't have anything going on." I could hardly get the words out of my mouth, I was so embarrassed.

"Alright whatever you want to believe is fine. She's picking you up in the morning so I suggest you two start packing."

I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm finally leaving this place. No more sleepless nights and sneaking around. I don't think life could get much better.

"Hi I'd like to talk to Lily if that's possible or is she on another planet?"

"Oh yeah sorry I was thinking."

I hadn't even realized we were at my room. I walked in and sat on my creaky cot, taking my surroundings in. I can't believe tonight will be my last night here. I won't miss anyone either. All I need is Harry and I'll be okay. He's like the older brother I never had. I always wished I had an older brother. Sometimes I have dreams where I'm with my real mom and there's a boy older than me with us. Its pretty bizarre if you ask me.

"Want me to help you pack ?"

"Yes please"

As we starting packing Harry got a wicked grin on his face. I wonder what he got into.

"Damn Lily who knew you weren't small all over," he said with a smirk spread across his face as he held up my pink lace bra.

"Oh shut up and give me that," I said as I tried reaching to grab it. Its kind of a struggle because I'm only 5'2 and he's at least 6'1. I was now on my tippy toes jumping to try and release it from his greedy grip.

"Give me a kiss and I'll give it to you"

"I think I'd rather make out with a fifty year old man Harold."

I felt this weird feeling in my stomach. I'd never quite felt it before. I never thought of Harry as more than a brother.

"No need to be harsh love," he replied as he flicked my bra across the room landing on my teddy bear. Man I'd had that thing forever. It was one of the few things my mom left with me. It was big and black. I loved it to death.

Eventually we finished packing and I went to help Harry finish packing. Half way through I fell asleep on Harry's bed curled up in his favorite maroon hoodie. It smelled like his cologne, I loved it.

As the night dragged on I was startled from my deep slumber when I felt a body slide next to me. It must be Harry. I was too sleepy to care I thought as I grabbed onto his supportive arm cuddling it to death. I intertwined my legs with his as he pulled the blanket over us.

The odd thing is I could swear I heard him say I love you before we went to sleep.

I think I'm falling in love faster than I can fall asleep.
