Chapter 9: Almost

I stepped out of the shower, wrapped a towel and me and walked into Harry's room.

"You can drop the towel if you want." Harry says as I look through his drawers, trying to find clothes.

"Harry!" I feel my cheeks blush.

I open a drawer and gasp.

A pistol? 

No, two pistols. 

"Harry? Why do you have these?" I ask him, picking one up.

"Oh, uh... I use them for uh... protection if I-" I cut him off.

"Bullshit, Harry!" I raise my voice. I didn't mean to, but I knew he was lying straight to my face.

"Okay, well sometimes I get in fights and need to protect myself!" He raises his voice as well.

"Have you ever shot someone with it? Killed someone?" I lower my voice. 

"I- yes. I've shot someone, but I don't recall killing anyone." Harry sighs.

"Who did you shoot?" I ask him, putting the pistol back and grabbing a grey tee shirt and black sweatpants.

"No one important." Harry mutters.

I might as well drop it. He obviously doesn't wanna talk about it, I should respect that...

"Okay." I slid off the towel.

"Might want to put that back on love before I fuck you again." Harry says.

Oh, how romantic he is.

I slid on my dirty bra and underwear and Harry's clothes. I'll change when I go back to my dorm. Oh wait... I'll just wash them later. I don't have a dorm!

* 6 Hours Later *

"Harry! Give it back!" I say as Harry gets on his tip toes just to hold his keys higher from me.

"For a kiss!" Harry tries to raise it higher.

I've never seen this side of Harry before... but I like it. He's fun and playful. Why can't he always be like this. I doubt he'll be like this for long, but I love him this way.

"Fine!" I say and I see Harry smile.

An actual, genuine smile.

He lowers himself, but keeps the keys in the air.

I put my lips on his, sending the sparks throughout my body. After awhile, my phone goes off, breaking our kiss.

Incoming Call From: Emily:)

I swipe 'Answer' and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" I say into the speaker.

"Hey! Where's Harry?" She asks and I chuckle.

"Where on our way, Em!" I say.

"Okay. Hurry up! The sooner I'm out of here the better! Plus, we have a lot to talk about!" She says.

"Yeah, yeah. I know." I say as Harry places the keys in my hand.

"Alright, well I'm in the lobby of the hospital! Hurry!" She says and I hear a beep.

I put my phone in my pocket and walk to the car, leaving Harry to lock the door.

 I jump in the car and minutes later Harry is driving to the hospital.

I've been roaming around,

Always looking down at all I see,

Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach...
