Taylor's POV:
It's been three months now since I first met Harry in that cafe. It's currently December and it's very cold here in Holmes Chapel. It's nothing compared to where I grew up in Pennsylvania though. Anyway... things have been going great with Harry and everything but... it's getting serious. I know he's a guy and guys have er needs.. and well it's just been getting really intense. I think I could marry this guy honestly. I'm just nervous. I've never had sex, and last time I was touched I shudder at the thought. That's the one thing I haven't told Harry. About Marcus.
Marcus was my brother Ben's best friend. Ben died in the accident too.... Ben learned about what Marcus had done to be and nearly killed him, which led to the court hearing. The one that we were headed home from a year ago today December 13, 2015. Also, conveniently my birthday. I'd just turned 15. Marcus has a 10 year sentence for Statutory Rape and Rape and Child Abuse. But it's not something I talk about anymore. Not to anyone. Harry's really my only friend and he doesn't know yet. I don't know that i'll be able to tell him. Or even be able to have sex to begin with....
We have a date tonight i'm not sure where we are going but he said to dress down even pj's so maybe just a movie at his place?
I sigh and walk over to my closet puling out a pair of fuzzy pajama pants with hearts on them and a form fitting long sleeved top with a black lace bra and panty set. Hey, i'm on my period so who cares. I then slide my moccasins on and and walk out of my room to sit on the couch and scroll through twitter for a couple minutes. I check my phone and the door bell rings I smile warmly and answer the door to see a handsome Harry in joggers and blue sweatshirt I notice his curls poking through the beanie he's wearing as well as the snow falling all around us.
"Hey", I smile stepping on his toes and placing a small peck on his lips. I inhale his fresh vanilla scent as he embraces me. I say a silent prayer thanking God that Liz is at school right now.
"Happy Birthday", Harry smiles warmly and kisses me.
I smirk and cock my head to the side, "You remembered?"
"Of course love."
"Mmm, ok." He smiles and opens the door to his Range Rover for me. I smile as the heat engulfs me. He cranked the heat on for me.
I smile as I see we have reached Harry's home which has become more home to me than Liz and I's flat lately. His mum Anne greets us at the door apologizing for having to leave and not being able to chat. I nod and she engulfs me in a hug whispering, "Happy Birthday darling."
I smile and chuckle, how does everyone remember? I push the thought aside as Anne exits the house leaving Harry and I to ourselves.
flashback
November, 2015
"Hey Marcus, Ben's not home right now actually." I smiled politely answering the door.
"Oh, well may I come in then?" I rolled my eyes closing the door behind Marcus.
And that's when it all went black.
"TAYLOR" Harry shrieks a haunted expression on his face as the flashback fades.
"A-are you okay?" The concern is so full in his eyes.
"U-u-uh y-yeah. I.. No, i'm not." I sigh. I'm not ready to tell him....
"It's okay," he whispers embracing me and stroking my hair.
"Harry.. I.." I begin but I can't find the words.
"It's okay. We won't do anything until you're completely ready T. You don't have to explain anything, I know." He runs his hand through his hair a tear falling down his cheek.
"Harry?" Oh God....
"My sister, Gemma. She was raped and she didn't make it. The few hours she lived at the hospital were horrid she screamed and didn't want to be touched or even looked at, so I get it. and i'm not going to hurt you Taylor."
I embraced him in the biggest hug I could and allowed myself to drift to sleep in his arms.
"Hey," Harry smiles wiping the hair off of my face.
"You fell asleep so I figured you needed it."
I nod and kiss him.
"So what movie do you want to watch?" He asks sitting up in his bed.
"Um.. can we just cuddle? I don't really feel like watching a movie right now."
Harry's POV
I nod and we lay there spooning. Suddenly, she flips around facing me. She places a soft and lingering kiss on my lips before laying on me and falling asleep. God, I'm going to marry her. i love her so much seeing her and remembering Gemma hurt. I don't want her to go through that ever again. I'm gong to protect her with my life.
I kiss her temple and let the sleep come over my body as our heart beats sync and our souls entwine.
