Ryder's POV

"You alright?" Harry asks, tilting his head to the side with his hands shoved into his pants pockets.

"Yeah." I nod and he smirks at my response, giving the impression that he knew better.

"I mean I am but I just couldn't help but feel a bit emotional seeing everyone." I say gesturing back to the house, looking at them through the large windows of the living room. "I could have lost them...I could have lost you."

Harry hums, tiring his head looking towards the house, as an electric guitar plays through the speakers along with soft drums.

"Come here," Harry says taking his hand out from his pocket holding it out for me. I look at him confused for a second before placing my hand in his and stand. I let him lead us a couple of steps away from the bench before he turns his body to face me.

"Dance with me." He says with a small smile, stepping closer to me before his hands rests on my waist and I return his smile placing my hands on his shoulders. Harry takes a small step to the left and I follow, subtly falling into a slow rhythm.

I smile and lean forward resting my head on his shoulder as he leans his cheek against the top of my head, wrapping both of his arms around me. For a while we are quite, both just enjoying the relaxing moment but soon Harry speaks, breaking the peaceful silence.

"I'm sorry." He mutters.

"For what?" I lift my head to look into his eyes, furrowing my brows.

"I haven't been fair to you."

I shake my head. "Harry, I was just being silly. I let my emotions take over and-"

"I know everything is over." Harry interrupts as we continue to sway and slowly turn in our own pace. "But I am truly sorry for everything. I'm sorry for lying to you and keeping part of me hidden away, but the truth is, the part I was hiding wasn't even me at all."

"Harry, I know you're not a bad man." I shake my head.

"I don't know who I am really or...what I'm going to do now that we captured my father and the team has no use for me anymore. But what I do know is that I love you." He breathes. "I love you so much. I love who I am when I'm with you. You make me want to be better, to wake up everyday and make it a day closer to a stable life."

I watch Harry intently as he stops our dancing while keeping his eyes on me and my hands move down to rest over his chest.

"I don't know what career path I'm going to be on." He shrugs, while shaking his head, briefly looking away from me and letting go of my waist; placing his hands back inside his pockets.

I frown watching the uncertainty and fear in his eyes. He looks ashamed and it tugs at my heart because there should be no reason for him to feel ashamed.

"So because I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't promise you a long luxurious life like your dad or Shawn but I can promise you that I will try to give you the life that you deserve."

"Harry..." I murmur, tilting my head to the side.

"And I know I can't give you much," he says looking down at his feet."Well for now at least, but I'm hoping that my heart...and love, will be enough."
