Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 5

I sat down across from Grace at the long, white-marble table. I started tapping my fingers on the table to the beat of a song by The Smiths while I waited impatiently for Harry.

Harry walked in moments later and sat down right next to me. I heard Grace clear her throat.

"Before we eat I thought we should talk about school. You guys are going to be juniors and attending Pineview High School. I already set up your classes and everything and you'll be together in most of them"

Most of them? Most of them? No, I had to be in all of them. All I have is Harry. I'm terribly bad with people too. I felt a large hand grip onto my tiny hand. I looked up at Harry giving me a reassuring grin. It's a curse and a blessing that he knows me so well.

Grace made lasagna for dinner and it was amazing. I only ate half of it due to the knots in my stomach taking up room. After dinner was over I helped Grace with the dishes while Harry unpacked my stuff for me, how sweet. When I finished I slowly walked up the stair case taking it step by step, just how I'm falling in love, step by step.

I flung open my door to see Harry lying on my bed shirtless reading something.

"Would you like to tell me why you're shirtless and what you're reading," I said tiredly.

"Nope."

I just stood at the door and stared at him for awhile silently. I looked into his memorizing green eyes and followed my gaze down to his perfectly sculpted jaw-line. Oh how I wished I could leave dainty kisses on it. I then looked up at his messy mop of brown, soft curls.

"I think you should get some sleep love," he mentioned as he scooted off my bed. He came up real close and pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso and set my head on his chest. I didn't want to let go. I didn't want to face tomorrow especially without Harry. He left a soft kiss on my forehead and told me it would be okay before he left to go to sleep.

I curled up in a ball hoping tomorrow would actually be okay.

I shot up out of bed, heart beating as fast as could be. I looked over at the clock and groaned, 1:46 am. Why do I keep having these dreams about my brother? I crawled out of bed and walked through the hall down to Harry's room.

I pulled the covers over me and wrapped my arms around him. I nuzzled my face into his chest and let a single tear slip down my cheek. I wanted the dreams to go away. My own brother doesn't even want me so why should I want him? I just want them to go away. I just want to start over.

"Mm Lily? What's wrong are you okay?" Harry tried to comfort me between sleepy moans.

"Can we just please lay here?"

"Anything for you love," he replied as he pulled me into him closer. I turned around and faced him. His green eyes glowed from the reflection of the moon. It's almost impossible to not get lost in them. He set his forehead against mine and told me to get some sleep. I nodded as I let a small yawn spill from my mouth.

I reached out my arms stretching them out hoping I didn't wake Harry. I slipped out of his tight grip and walked to my room and straight to the bathroom.

I turned on the shower. I quickly stepped in letting the hot water sooth me. As I finished I wrapped a towel around me and sat on my bed. 5:06, I have two hours before schools starts. I walked over to my closet realizing I didn't have much to wear. I shimmied into my signature ripped jeggings and threw a black V-neck over my bra. I walked into the bathroom and dried my sopping wet hair. I was praying my hair would cooperate. I found a curling iron sitting in the bottom drawer of my sink. Why not I decided. I curled my beach-blonde hair strand by strand. I lined my eyes with a black streak and brushed my eyelashes with coats of mascara. I then applied some pink lipstick before lacing up my white converse. I didn't realize me and Harry were wearing almost identical things before I stood outside the front door looking at him. Shit, what a great way to start the year.
