[ A.N - Hiiii guysss! Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was busy. Anyway, this is chappie for, so read on!!!!]

The way home was filled with conversations of nonsense. We talked about the party and work.

It was getting so close to December. I loved December not only because of Christmas and my birthday, but the snow was almost falling here in New York City.

Harry pulled into our parking lot. We sat there for a few minutes, while I reviewed the day. We both got out of the car, walking to the double doors.

"Today was fun.", Harry said, me nodding, agreeing. Today was fun. Harry was so sweet. He was very attractive too. I think Lesly was actually a bit jealous.

He put his hand on the small of my back, slightly pushing me into the elevator. I thought for a moment, thinking, "Should I invite him over?" I decided I should. It might be good to get to know each other better.

"Harry. Um, would you like to come over? Like for coffee or tea?", I said, slightly nervous because I had no idea what to expect. "Sure.", he said.

We walked into my tidy apartment. I had a few more things to unpack and I thought now would be a good time, since we're just having tea and nothing special is going on.

"Tea, or coffee?" "Tea, please", he said, politely. I put the mugs in the microwave, heating the water, and then put milk and a mint leaf in the tea. It's supposed to get rid of stress, and ever since I started drinking it, it has.

I handed Harry a mug, he saying a quiet thank you. He sat on the couch while I grabbed a box and sat at his feet. I started unwrapping the items, most of which were photographs. I picked up the third picture, and just stared at it. So many memories came from the picture. It was my brother, my dad, and I. A single tear streamed down my face for no reason.

"You okay?", Harry asked, concerned. "Yeah, sorry. It's just the picture.", I said. "Well, what's the story?" "You probably won't care, it's very long.", I said. "I have time.", he said, scooting over for me to sit down.

"This is my dad and brother with me. About 5 years ago when I was 19, my dad got cancer. He was really bad.I loved my daddy so much. I didn't know what I would do without him.A few months passed, and so did he. He died the day after my birthday. And after 5 years, I've learned to be thankful for my dad raising me the way he did. After he died my mom left us. A year later I found out she killed herself from all the pain. All I have left is my brother. I miss him so much I haven't seen him since last year. So that's the story behind this picture. Ha.", said, a long sigh following.

"Libby, I"m- I"m so sorry.", Harry kept saying. I kept telling him it was alright. I've learned to cope. Although, I didn't tell him the whole story. I have secrets in my past, and I'm going to stay silent. Only my brother knows everything. Oh, how I miss Luke. We haven't talked in forever either. It's sad actaully.

"Well, since I told you about my family, how about yours?" "I'd rather not.", Harry said, his jaw tensing. But I decided to push further. Surely there's something he can tell me. Just one little thing. "Please?", I said, trying to sound as sincere as I could. "Okay, well, I don't talk to my mom or sister, and my dad. Well, I haven't seen him since I was 6. He left.", Harry said, quickly and stubbornly. "I'm sorry.", I said. "It's okay. You should probably finish unpacking.

And so I did finish, reliving memories form the past. After a few hours it was about 9:30 pm. "Well, I think I better go.", Harry said, getting up. I walked over to the door to open it for him. He stopped out in the hall while saying, "I'd like to know you better, Libby. We should hang out again. Soon." "Sure.", I said, while grinning. I really did like Harry. He was nice to me and comforting. But I would really like to gain some of his trust to get him to tell me more about his family. His past seems pretty messed up too. Although, mine is probably must worse.

Harry waved goodbye to me, while walking down the hall. He sent me a wink before unlocking his apartment, and walking in. I closed my door, and locked it.

Tonight was fun. Maybe we should have tea again, sometime. Harry. I'd like to get to know him better, also.
