A New Start

Chapter 11

I opened up to Harry about everything; from the way the whole school would come up with ways to publicly taunt me to the times when I would take it out on myself in ways that were pretty awful. I told him how my best friend Sheila was the only one that helped me really get through everything. I explained to him how much I really missed her, and how much I missed my mom.

He stayed silent the whole time, and when I finally finished letting everything out, I loosened myself from his grip and looked up at him. His eyes were filled with worry.

"Ellie.... I'm so sorry", he said in a faint whisper.

"It's fine", I sighed.

I slowly turned around on my heels and headed back to the house. He walked at a slow paced behind me, and I wasn't sure why. I quickly turned around to see him staring back at me with furrowed eyebrows, and his hands buried in his pockets.

I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up. He took my hand in his and placed a kiss on the back of my hand and pulled me into a very warm hug. 

-------------------------------------------------

I woke up the next morning, and looked to my side to see Harry was already out of bed. I slowly got out of bed and made my way downstairs. I heard a muffled voice from the kitchen and I peered my head around the door to spot Harry talking on the phone.

"Hm... Ok.... I'll be there to pick you guys up. Ok... Thank you." As he placed his phone on the kitchen table he noticed me standing in the doorway.

He smiled at me, showing off his dimples.

"Goodmorning gorgeous", he said as I walked over to him and nuzzled myself into his t-shirt. I pulled away and got on my tip toes to place a peck on his lips. His smile re-appeared, this time the heat rising in his cheeks.

I giggled and then tried my best to walk over to the fridge and get some juice to pour for myself, but Harry wouldn't let go of me.

"Harry please", I said trying to unwrap his arms around me.

"Nope", he said with a grin plastered on his face. He jokingly placed a kiss on my nose, soon making his way down to my lips. His grip tightened around my waist, as the kiss became deeper.

We both pulled away when we heard a slight cough come from the kitchen doorway. Anne was standing there leaning against the door frame with a smirk on her face.

"Sorry to interupt, but Harry it's time to go", she said.

"Where are you going?", I asked Harry confused.

"Oh nowhere. I just have to run an errand. I'll be back in about an hour or two", he replied.

------------------------------------

I sat reading my book in the living room, occasionally looking up from my page and out the window to see if the familiar range rover was going to pull up. It had been two hours, and I had no idea where Harry was. Anne also dissapeared, but she was rarely ever home, so that didn't surprise me.

I sighed and began flipping the page in my book when I heard the familiar crunch of the gravel in the front of the house. I ran over to the door to question Harry as to where he was. When I opened the front door, I noticed in the back of the car two heads seated. Confused, I walked over as Harry opened the door for whoever he decided to bring.

My eyes grew wide when I saw my mother step out. Tears prickled my eyes as I ran over to her and gave her the biggest hug I possibly could. The happiness surging through me grew stronger when I noticed my best friend step out of the back seat too. She began laughing when I began crying, and ran over to me. I hugged her as tight as I possibly could.

I pulled away from my second hug and noticed Harry standing to the side smiling at the sight. I walked over to him and gave him a kiss, as I wrapped my arms around his neck and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Surprise", he mumbled into the kiss.

"Thank you so much", I whispered as I looked into his eyes.

I really hope I don't stop writing again dear god, I'm sorry.
