"on top of the world i know it's true on top of the world is how i feel with you"
harry's P.O.V~
She's been staying here with me for a week and I don't know how she does it. Run around leave at night to only come back in the morning happier. I have to need to follow her next time, she's left me before, about three times, and she comes back so she hasn't left me permanently yet. I would be perfectly fine taking care of her forever. That's what I want to do I want her to be mine. I've been lying awake trying to figure out what to do how to tell her how I feel, then I hear rustling from the sofa-bed. Thank God it makes noise. I see her small figure look into my room and I close my eyes hoping she didn't see me. This is my chance to find out where she goes. I sit up getting my clothes on and grabbing a jacket and putting my shoes on. I hear the door open so I walk out of my room seeing her slip out the door and I follow her. As I walked quietly behind her she flipped her hood up. Well I see why people might think she's thug like. She picked up the pace sprinting towards what looked like Chesire's water tower. Oh God no. I hate heights. We both stopped in front of the tower she looked up at it and started climbing. Damn it. She's been here before, the way she skipped some rungs and held on tighter at some sections. I started to climb after her mimicking her every move. When she finally reached the top she sat down, she looked down and saw me. She smiled. I got to the top being scared to look down.
"I knew you were behind me Harry," she said smiling bigger and looking at me. I huffed out my breath, I didn't realize I was holding it.
"So this is where you go when you leave me?" I said sitting down next to her.
"It just reminds me that this could all end, this life we live, in the end it's not going to matter what we have or what we lost but what we gained, relationships I mean" she said looking out at the town. I stared at her for a second not understanding what she meant, but she must have thought about it and how the words would impact a person so I nodded.
"So what else do you think of when your up here?" I asked curious in how her brain works.
"My mom, the good one, and how everyone I ever let in but you and her were terrible to me, they were bad, they make me have trust issues and that's why I over analyzes people because everyone's bad until proven good" she said turning her gaze towards me. I looked sown at her body and she was shivering, I wrapped my arms around her.
"Dustin I know you have a lot of anger at your stepmom and your once living dad but it doesn't mean you take it out on evryone else and lock yourself up," I said putting my chin on her head. Now I understand why she comes up here it helps you forget.
"Harry I just hate the bad in the world I mean why can't we have a nice world, I know the bad balances the good but there should be less bad," she sighed looking up at me.
"Dustin I know how you hate all bad people and you block them out wishing they were all dead I get it, but without those bad people I wouldn't have you, we wouldn't have been brought together. Do you understand me know?" I said cupping her cheeks in my hands. Tears started to roll down her face and I wiped them away with my thumb. She nodded and started to choke on her muffled sobs. I hugged her tighter and she wrapped her arms around me.
"It's okay Dustin let it out," I cooed. She was just a shell of a tough girl but inside she was just a nineteen year old who had to grow up too fast, and it finally caught up to her. Every time she denied it she pushed it back deeper making it stronger, and she finally cracked. I kissed her head, and started to rock her in my arms.
"H-Harry...I have something to tell you. I--" she started , as she sniffled.
"Yeah Dustin?" I replied looking out at the city.
"Well ever since my mother died I never thought I'd be able to love again but I think I might be able to," she said looking into my eyes.
"That's great Dus," I replied smiling.
"But Harry I think I might love you. My mom read me a story once and it said "it takes love to awaken love" and my mom gave me love so I want to give you love" she said her eyes glistening in the moonlight; the sun should be rising soon. But she just said she loved me I want to tell her I feel the same but I want her to believe it.
"Dustin, when I met you I didn't think I'd develop feelings for you. I've only been in love once and the girl killed herself and for five years I thought it was my fault even though I know now it wasn't, and for five years I've tried moving on with no luck. Then you came around and messed up my life like a hurricane but I've realized that's what I needed. All my life my parents have told me they hated me, and i've been closed off and used to routine ever since my sister left at 18. The only goal on my list was to make it out of my parents house alive and I did. And If you were to give me the chance I'd love to try to fix you," I said staring into her eyes, the sun was about to rise I saw it in her eyes.
"Oh Harry, I love--" I kissed her stopping the words in her mouth. She pulled away and the sun was rising behind me and before she could speak I let the words fall out of my mouth,
"I love you too Dustin"
"Give me love. M-my, M-my Give me Love"
