Criminal

Chapter 17

After the plane took off (which was extremely scary on my part) I got up to use the bathroom. It was weird for me, feeling the plane swaying slightly, but I managed to go real quick and when I got back to my seat I tried to squeeze past Harry but he just wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me down onto his lap.

I tried to squirm away but he just pulled me in closer. I looked at his expression and he was clearly enjoying himself. Typical Harry.

"Let me go," I whispered and he shrugged.

"I kinda like the idea of you being in my arms forever," he said and I felt my heart swell. Why did he have to be so sweet?

I pulled his head down and kissed him hard on the lips. "You make me feel safe," I whispered into his ear and he kissed my neck.

I was really glad the plane didn't have a lot of lighting, because Harry just didn't care who was watching.

I finally squirmed back to my seat but Harry pulled up the arm rest again and he had me in his arms again.

I let my arms rest around his neck as he pecked my lips and told me sweet things. I smiled every single time, it never failed.

"Caroline I never want to be without you," Harry said and I nodded slightly as I drifted off into his arms. I wish I could fall asleep like this every night for the rest of my life.

I woke up a little while later. It was still dark out, and Harry still had me wrapped in his arms even though he was sound asleep.

I carefully got out of his grip and I sat up in my seat. I looked out the window to see nothing much. It was mainly just clouds and shadows.

I looked out at the clouds and it amazed me. I wish I could ride planes more often, and in the day time as well. I bet the clouds looks amazing in the sunlight.

I sat down staring for a while longer when I felt a ping in my chest. I was still on the run from my parents. Harry was also.

I didn't know what my consequences would be if they somehow found me, but I didn't want to know. I was just going to do what I felt I needed to do to stay safe.

I looked over at Harry again and I smiled at him. He was so precious when he slept. His hand was still on my knee and I lightly set mine over his and laid back.

It wasn't until this moment I got the idea, but it occurred to me that I haven't really written anything since high school. I used to love writing. Anything. I took the same writing elective about 3 times; I couldn't get enough.

I pulled out the note pad that was in the little bag on the seat in front of me. I pulled it out and I smiled to myself. I grabbed the pen hanging out of Harry's pocket and I began writing.

After a moment, it started to come naturally.

Harry

I hope one day you realize what you mean to me. As of right now I don't know what will happen, ever. All I know is you take care of me like no one else, and you're the core of my life. If it weren't for you, I may just be back in that place I had to call home.
You taught me a few things in the short time we've known each other. Everyone makes mistakes, that could be stealing a few things from a grocery store all the way to ending someone's life. Either way, it's a mistake someone's made.
From the day I met you, you've been nothing but helpful, and therefore I want you to know I'll always be here for you. Always.

Just as I was writing I felt Harry squeeze my knee a bit. I turned to face him and I smiled a little. "Hi," I whispered and he opened his eyes.

Harry sat up slowly and grabbed my face between his hands. "Im falling in love with you Caroline," he said softly and I nodded slowly.

"And I as to you," I said and he smiled, leaning back and drifting off.

I turned back to my paper and a huge grin slipped over my face. I let it drop and I finished the letter.

Harry Styles, as much as you disagree with me, you'll never be a criminal in my book.
