"Honestly Harry why would you do that?" Robert and Gemma just left the two of us alone I didn't know what to do or say. Like really just leave an awkward silence I don't think so. "How did you know I jumped?" "Well I didn't until just now!" He was cute I don't know why he would even think about jumping. "Look I don't know what kind of game you're trying to play but let me go ahead and tell you this," His face moved closer to mine as he kept talking. "I don't need you or Gemma or any of them I'll just live my life as I always have. Miserable and alone!" What the fudge "Wait a minute I just saved your life and instead of thanking me you claim I'm playing a game and walk away. I hate to be the one to break it to you sweetheart but that's not the way things work around here." I didn't want to stand up to him trust me I really didn't want to stand up to him because in some ways he was really intimidating but if he thought that he could use that to get away with whatever then something is really wrong with him. "Did you just call me sweetheart?" "Not the point." "Do you like me?" "Please! Me? Like YOU? Come on Harry we just met you should have some better common sense than that." Maybe he can smell fear because if he can he knows I'm drenched in it. "Well babe, yes I said babe because you called me sweetheart, you didn't answer the question just say yes or no." Maybe this was like a trick question where I tell him I like him the he treats me like a punching bag while saying he loves me or if I say no he tries to convince me to give him a chance and then he'll treat me like a punching bag, "What happens if I say no?" Please don't be anything bad. "I jump." Oh My Gosh. Well that's comforting. When I asked he moved closer to the railing me and Robert had just pulled him up from. Then I said very quickly "What if I say yes?" "What?" OK I said that too quickly. "What. If. I.-" "You're talking to slowly." Maybe I should just say no. "What if I say yes?" I wanted to say yes but first I needed to know what would happen. "Then I would finally have a reason to live..." He moved closer to the railing. To close. I grabbed his hand and pulled him away. I don't know how I feel about Harry but I do know that if anything happened to him I'd be so sad I'd forget how to live. "Just answer the question." "I don't know." He walked back over to the rail and I grabbed his hand again. "Please don't jump I'll do anything." He forced his hand out of my grip then put his hand in mine so we were holding hands. He was looking out into the water. I was focused on him. "It's OK you don't know I was crazy to think you would." "Even if I don't know how I feel about you I do know that I care about you." "I want to show you something." Still holding my hand he took off running after a few minutes of me continuing to stumble he got annoyed and picked me up bridal style and started running again. "Harry where are we going?" He was a very fast runner. I'm glad he picked me up I wouldn't have been able to keep up at all. "It's a surprise." He said then gave me a very cheeky grin. I really don't know how I feel about him but I'm glad I met him he makes me happy. After a few minutes we I mean he stopped running and put me down. He was definitely out of breath. He'd run through a room and opened a closed door then ran up a lot of stairs and now we're here. "Look." That's all he said that's all he had to say. I turned and looked it was a view so amazing. Imagine the greatest thing you can imagine then think of that times ten. The view was even more beautiful than that. "So I'm guessing you're wondering how I knew about this place?" It hadn't occurred to me until just now that he was right this was in a room that was hidden so it's not like a passenger would just find it while walking along side the boat. "Um yeah how." "My father helped build the ship. Even though Gemma has a first class ticket we honestly don't have much money and my mum needed help. Bad. So my dad gets every paying job he can but he got 3 tickets for helping one first class one second class and one third. Gemma got the first class. My best mate Louis got the second then that left me with the third class ticket and Lou felt bad about that so he asked for a third class ticket so we could be in the same class. Louis is my only mate me and him are closer than even me and Gemma but it really isn't my fault but something happened." I couldn't believe he was opening up to me I mean he didn't talk to anyone earlier and now he's telling me his life story. "What happened." I shouldn't have asked. "That is NONE of your concern what happened happened and it's in the past so keep your nose out of other peoples business." I gulped he kind of scared me for the second time today. "I'm sorry I told you about my life, will you tell me about yours?" I didn't want to tell him about my terrible life but it was the least I could do after all he told me more than he told anybody else. "Well my mother loves adventure and I love reading and she would always tell me adventure could be just around the corner and until I was about eight I always wanted to find adventure then my dad died and I didn't want adventure I wanted him, my dad after he died I didn't like anything. People, places, even my mother but then I met Robert during primary-school and he became my best mate just like Louis is yours I told him everything about my dad and even about some stuff that are so bad I don't even want to tell you but yeah my mum is poor and she wanted me to look for adventure for the first time in eight years. So I was forced to come but for the first time since I got on the boat I'm glad I had to come." I can't believe I just told him all that I mean I don't even know him. "You're an amazing girl Robert is lucky to have you as a best mate." He gave me the same cheeky grin that so far every time has made my heart melt. He grabbed my hand pulled me up to him and he leaned in to kiss me. "HEY WHO ARE YOU TWO AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE!?!?!"
