(Jenna's POV)

His hand seemed to fit perfectly in mine as we sped out of the coffee shop.

Just as I ran across the pavment, I felt my boots slide out from underneath me. My arms flew in the air as I pumbled toward the ground. Right before my head hit the pavement, I felt two muscular arms catch me and pull me upward.

"How you doin' there?" Harry said jokingly as he looked down into my eyes.

"Couldn't be better" I replied with a smile as he lifted me upward.

"Just get in the truck" He said laughing as he walked around the truck.

We both hopped in quickly and got outta' there as fast as we could!

His hands tensed up on the steering wheel as we turned the corner, onto an old dirt road.

"Whats wrong?" I questioned with a concerned look on my face.

"Nothing, what are you talking about?" He threw back at me.

"Well as we turned onto this road your hands tensed up and now that I noticed, a vein is bulging out on your neck. So, I'm just guessing you're tense." I replied, feeling smart.

"Observant one, you are" Harry said with a smirk on his face.

I noticed how he quickly changed the topic. Somthing about him wasn't right, maybe it was how he randomly tensed up, or how his eyes seemed deeper in thought.

(Harry's POV)

I slowly relaxed my hands on the steering wheel and pulled over onto the side of the dirt road.

"Tomorrow, would you like to go on a date with me? I asked quickly.

Her eyes moved to mine as I fineshed the question.

"Yes, of course!" Jenna replied with exitment.

I relaxed as my nerves calmed down. Jenna looked at me as if I was the president of the United States.

We both were startled by the sound of her phone vibrating in her bag. Jenna  looked at the caller I.D. as it read 'DAD'.

Jenna quickly answered with a sweet "Hello"

The mumbling voice on the other line rang through the truck with loud noises.

"I'l be-

I'm sorr-

Don't-" Jenna  kept trying to say as she was getting cut off.

Eventually Jenna hung up the phone and slammed it onto the dash-board as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What's wrong?" I softly asked as I brushed a strand of hair out of her face.

"My dad, he's..." She trailed off

"very unreasonable." Jenna fineshed.

"Well, if you would like, I don't mind if you stay with me?" I offered, generously.

"What about your parents?" Jenna  asked as she looked toward me.

"Um, I live alone. I don't talk to my parents actully." I said with ease.

She quickly nodded and wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her hoodie.

I soon reved the engine of the truck and started up again down the dirt road as the night grew darker and darker.

(Jenna's POV)

Eventually, we pulled up to a small wooden cabin the the middle of the woods. The house was small but cozy and comforting.

As we walked in, I smelt the smell of cinnimon and pine. The small house had one bedroom, one rather large den, one kitchen and one small bathroom.

"This house, it's really nice and cozy." I said softly as we walked in. "Where do I sleep?"

Harry quickly pointed towards the bedroom with a grin spread across his face.

"But what about you, where will you sleep? I asked with confusion.

"Eh, I'll sleep on the couch tonight. You need better sleep than I do." Harry replied calmly.

"It's okay if you want me to sleep on the couch-" I started to say before he cut me off.

"I insist!" Harry said generously.

I threw my hands into the air in defeat as I walked toward the bedroom.

I quickly threw my bad onto the soft matress and fell along with it. The soft, cushy blankets made me realize how tired I actully was.

"Here's a hoodie and some sweatpants!" Harry said from behind me as he threw a big, grey sweatshirt onto the bed along with fuzzy sweats.

Quickly I shut the door and threw on the comfortable clothing.

"Damn, you clean up nice." Harry laughed as I walked slowly out of the bedroom. "Would you like dinner?"

"Nah, I'm too tired. Thanks though." I said with a long yawn at the end.

"Then go to bed! I'll wake you up for school tomorrow morning, you can wear one of my shirts to school." Harry offered with a big grin on his amazing face.

"Thank you!" I said softly as I walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind me.
