Criminal

Chapter 10

The new lake house has been great. Harry and I have been here for a few days, and it's been the best time of my life. He is like the best friend I've always wanted.

I can't help but think about my foster parent sometimes. I feel my bruises, and I wonder all the time what Harry thinks of them. I'm briefly told him that I had been abused before, but I don't know if he could possibly remember that.

I do know that he cares. And I also know he isn't a criminal like he blames himself for. What happened was utterly the bad side of him taking over. Harry wouldn't ever hurt someone like that by choice. Just the way I catch him looking at me, I feel like he's ready to take a bullet for me, and I know I would take a bullet for him. I owe it to him.

I was cleaning the kitchen from dinner and Harry said he needed to pick something up from the store down the road. He promised he would be back soon, so I decided just to take care of the cleaning in the meantime.

When I was done, I went into the other room and I started dusting when I heard the car pull up.

I quickly ran into the kitchen and I threw away the rag. That's another thing, Harry doesn't want me cleaning unless were doing it as a team. He says I work too much.

Anyways, I came back and sprawled out on the couch, trying to look natural when Harry walked in with a huge box. The side of it said MacBook in large letters and I perked up a bit.

"I got you a little something," he said grinning and I sat up, my huge smile very obvious. I couldn't hide my excitement, and I didn't want to.

"A computer?! You're the best," I said and he smiled, setting it down on the floor. I have never really used a computer. I was not exactly allowed to.

He sat Indian style on the carpet and I sat the same way across from him. He pulled out a pocket knife and opened it up. He started to set it up and I honestly just watched in amazement.

"This is so cool," I said softly as the screen booted up. Harry looked up and smiled.

"I hope this satisfies you," he said and I smiled. I never stopped smiling actually, it just stayed there.

Once the laptop was all set up, Harry got up and sat on the couch. He motioned for me to follow him, and I did. He sat on the edge, and I plopped down next to him.

Sometimes before we headed to bed, Harry would sit in that spot and he would let me rest my head in his lap while he told me stories about one direction and all the places he's been. My favorite was when the went to Africa for a fundraiser. He told me about the music video they taped themselves, and this was one of he main reasons I wanted the computer so bad- I could see one direction.

I watched Harry set up simple things, and then he glanced over at me. "Anything you specifically want to do first?" He asked and I grinned.

"I want to see the one direction videos," I said and his smile faded but I gave him a big smile and it came back a bit.

He turned his head and typed in 'Best Song Ever' into YouTube. I watched something called vevo pop up and then the video began.

When Harry came on the screen, I felt my heart skip a beat. "Harry! You have tattoos!" I shrieked and he started cracking up.

"Yes I have makeup covering them," he said and I brushed my fingers past his arm.

"Why?" I asked without thinking.

"Because look at those things, anyone could spot me silly," he said and I laughed a bit.

"Sorry I wasn't thinking," I said quickly but then I directed my attention back to the screen. I was dying to see this whole video.

I watched and I laughed, and I smiled during it. They were funny. When it was over I glanced over and looked at the bar.

They were seriously famous. One Direction had millions of views. As I was scanning the screen I also saw something on the side that made me point.

"What's this?" I asked pointing to the screen.

Harry laughed and clicked on it. "This is me and the lads on 1D day singing talk dirty to me," he said and then he stopped talking when it started up.

"You told me about that," I whispered and I watched him smile and nod.

This time, we were laughing so hard he had to set the laptop down to catch his breath. "I want to read the comments on this one," I said and he smiled.

I'm began reading though them and we stayed silent.

I looked at Harry and he was staring at the screen. I know these were tearing him apart, and I didn't want to see him hurt like this, he didn't deserve it.

"You're very respected," I whispered into his ear and he shook his head. I sighed lightly and I closed the computer screen and I set in lightly on the floor.

I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. "They all love you Harry," I said and he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap.

I ran my fingers through the back of his curly hair. "I appreciate it," Harry said quietly but I knew he was just getting over everything still.

I caressed his cheek in my hand but then I wiggled away and ran upstairs. I threw my bathing suit on and then I out a shirt on over.

I ran back down the stairs and Harry was in the same place but he didn't look as sad. He smiled when he looked up at me and I raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go swim," I said and he laughed a little but as he got up.

"You read my mind," he said smiling and I smiled back at him.
