Why don't you go there with me?

♥♥♥

Harry's P.O.V

Carter had been trapped in her room the whole weekend. She wasn't depressed, she said so herself that she would be much worse, but she's definitely not happy. She told me how she wasn't able to come on the trip to Greece. She's distraught. I would do anything to help her live her dream of travelling the world.

I was with her when she apologised to her mum. It ended up with her mum in a blubbering mess and Carter just standing there. I've never seen her cry properly, I've seen her eyes bloodshot and watery but never full-on crying. I don't know if I want to experience it though.

Since being in a relationship with her, she's opened up so much more to me, but there are still very few unanswered questions, which I'm saving for another day.

Carter wiggled under my grip around her waist and yawned. She, slowly, opened her eyes, revealing her crystal, blue orbs. "Hello." I said and kissed the tip of her nose. She giggled, "Hi." She replied.

"Sleep well?" I asked.

"Very well." She sighed.

For the past few days, I had been comforting Carter in her bedroom, whilst we sat and watched movies. She would apologise every now and then, saying it was her fault that we couldn't go on the trip but I didn't really see any point in going if she wasn't there. "Harry," Carter started, her voice raspy.

"Yes?" I said, looking down at her.

"I'm sorry for stopping you from going to Greece.' She whispered, still half asleep.

"Carter, stop apologising. I love you and I'm not going anywhere without you. I'm not mad at you, not even close. Remember Carter, it's you and me." I remind her for the thousandth time.

"I just feel like I'm holding you back." She murmurs. I pull her closer and kiss her forehead.

"You never hold me back." I whisper.

We carry on watching movies, but I am more focused on the beautiful girl lying beside me. I have never had such strong feelings for anyone in my life and I'm glad that I have these feelings for Carter.

After all she's been through, she deserves the moon and stars and it pains me to see her upset that the cancer is stopping her from doing what she wants to do with her life.

I keep my eyes on her, smiling as she complains about how messed up these romance movies are. "Do you want to go out?" I ask, already knowing what the answer is.

"No." she replies.

"C'mon Cart, you can't stay in here forever."  I complain.

She sighs, "Then where do you want us to go." She gave in for the first time this week. I smile and grab her hand, we put our shoes on and walk down to the porch.

"So where are you taking me?" She questions, as we get to the main road.

"Pinkberry." I say and she doesn't reply but I turn to face her and see a big grin on her face.

I pull into the parking lot and we walk into Pinkberry.  "You find a seat, I'll get the yogurt." I instructed and Carter walks over to find a table.

When I come back to our table, I see Carter talking to Louis and Niall. She's laughing about something and I walk over to see what's going on. "Ahh, Harold, we were just telling Carter about your mothers visit the other day." Louis said and I glared at him, remembering my mum coming into the locker rooms before the previous football game.
