My Crush

Chapter 19

"Lace we need to talk about this"

"I'm at work Harry, I can't talk"

"Can I come over tonight?" Harry asked me.

I sighed "I don't..."

"Lacey please"

"Fine fine, come through the back"

"Okay see you later"

I sighed, I can't believe I'm turning 18 this week too. After work, I grabbed some food from Emma and I and went home.

"You ate?" My uncle asked me.

"Yes" I nodded "also, Harry's going to stop by"

"Is everything okay baby?"

"Yeah" I nodded and went back downstairs.

A few minutes after I went downstairs, I heard Harry's voice. I sighed as I sat down on the couch waiting for him to come down.

"Hey"

"Hey" he came downstairs "how was work?"

"It was good, um how was work for you?"

"Good busy" he sat down and I nodded "can we please talk about last night? I'm sorry if I rushed you"

"You didn't, you didn't Harry... It's just I don't want to have sex if I don't get that love back"

"What?" Harry turned to me more.

"I'm in love with you Harry! I love you! And I don't want to give myself to you completely if I don't get that love in return... I've been hurt before Harry and I just don't want to get hurt again"

"Lacey..."

"You should go please, I'll walk you out"

I walked out him out and crossed my arms "Lacey" he sighed.

"Please just go" I mumbled.

"No!" Harry yelled and it took me by surprise "I'm going to fucking talk but you're too stubborn to let me"

"Fine then talk!"

"I love you Lacey" I uncrossed my arms.

"You do?" I asked in disbelief.

"How can I not?" He pulled me close to him as he leaned against the car "you are funny, cute, beautiful, sexy as hell"

I blushed as I nuzzled my head in his neck "I'm sorry for not letting you talk" I look back at him.

"You can be so stubborn sometimes babe"

I laughed "I know... It sucks we never got the opportunity to um..."

"I know, what are you want to do for your birthday?" Harry asked me.

"Um maybe just a small party, as long as you're there I don't care"

Harry nodded "I should get home"

He got in the car and I kissed him goodbye as he drove off. I could be so stubborn sometimes.

"Em, do you want to go visit mom?" I asked her.

"Can we?!"

"Of course baby"

We got in my car as I drove to the cemetery. I parked the car and I held Emma's hand as we placed flowers in front of the grave.

"Hi mommy" Emma sat down next to me.

"Hey mom" I put my arm around Emma "I wish you were here with us, I think we need you more than ever... I'm turning 18 this week and it just feels weird knowing you don't be there to celebrate with us. I have a boyfriend, the guy I told you about. Harry" I smiled "I love him and he told me today he loves me back and god I miss you" tears filled my eyes "do you have something to say to mommy?" I asked Emma.

"Do you miss us mommy?"

"Of course she does Emma, she's in heaven looking down at us every single day"

We just sat there for a few before we went back to the car and went home to go to sleep.
