"Chapter one:" I started, "Late in the winter of my seventeenth year,..."

-------------------------------------

Every so often I'd look up from the book to Harry. Every time, he'd be looking at me with his full attention.

The book was very well written. It was about a girl with cancer who meets a guy who's a friend of her friend at a support group. He immediately tells her she's beautiful. His name is Augustus Waters, and in my head, I imagine him as Harry and me as Hazel (the main character). Augustus is so nice and strong, he's just perfect.

Anyways, I read up to the middle of chapter five when Augustus calls Hazel because he's done with the book An Imperial Affliction. The two are the perfect couple, I swear.

"Can I stop reading now," I look up to Harry.

"No..." he smirks.

"That's too bad," I fold the corner of the and set the book down. "Cause I'm exhausted."

There was a long pause before he eventually spoke up, "You read beautifully," he smiles.

"No, that's a lie." I laugh.

"What's your middle name."

"I don't think I have one."

"Well then make one up,"

"I can't just ma-"

"Make. One. Up"

"Hmm.." I pretended to think.

"What about, Marie? Or Rose? Or Elizabeth?" he asks.

"Savannah Rose sounds like a stripper name,"I tell him and he cracks up. "And my first name is already long for Elizabeth."

"True...but what Marie."

"I like Marie" I smiled.

"Well then, Savannah Marie, I think you have a beautiful name." He mimics Augustus Waters. 'That's why he wanted to know my middle name' my subconscious finally realizes.

"What's yours?"

"Edward"

"Harry Edward"

"That's my name, just don't call me Harold. I hate that."

"I'll make sure I don't,"

",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,",,"

I woke up with my head on Harry's chest, listening to his heart beating.

"Savannah Marie?" he asks in his raspy voice.

"Yeah?"

"Stay..." He pulls me wen closer.

"This is my house," I chuckle.

"I mean, stay with me"

"I never planned on leaving"

I could basically hear him smile.

Both of us lay there for a while until Abi and Iris stumbled inside walking in crooked steps before collapsing onto their beds.

"Where were you guys?!"

"At the club" Irises words slurred. It surprised me that Iris would actually drink. Maybe she wasn't the one who drove home?

"Why?" but it's too late, they've passed out into a deep sleep.

"We should probably leave.." Harry whispers.

"Where do you want to go?" I whispered back.

"My house?"

"M'kay let me just change."

"No, you'll wake them. I have some clothes that might fit you at home."

So I get up and grab two ponytails and the pair of jeans that were folded by my bed from when I changed last night.

"Ready?"

"Yup." I take The Fault in Our Stars right before we leave.

................................................................

We finally get to Harry's house. Oh wait, I mean mansion.

"My parents aren't home yet"

"Oh," I feel relief come over me. I just don't think we're at that point of a relationship. If were even in a relationship.

He takes his home key and unlocks the door in the garage. When you get inside, you're welcomed by a huge glass staircase (kind of like in Cinderella), a grand piano, and a hallway going to the back of the house where I'm guessing the living room and kitchen are.

"C'mon my room is upstairs,"he takes my hand and we run up the glass stairs. Can I just say, I feel like a princess?
